Tk AMERICAN IRD0STB1AL LIBRARY EavlUarUtBmUUaa CatoM,IUlal continental rail transportation since the driving of the golden spike. On June 6th is inaugurated regular service of its new streamliner "City of Portland" from Portland to Chicago. New York is now only three days by rail from the Pacific Coast The streamliner, a model of comfort and convenience, with Insultation, air conditioning and every device for the safety of passengers, is "sailing" on a regular schedule of 39-- J hours from Portland to Chicago. It is an inspiration to see this train streaking across the country, thus bringing the Pacific Coast a thousand miles nearer to the Atlantic Coast ,in time. Executives of the Union PnclfiC are carrying on the traditions of that road to do things on a grand scale. Carl Gray .President, is a big man in spirit as well as body and his energy seems boundless. Backing him up In his plans for rail progress are W. A. Harriman, Chairman of the Board, and W. M. Jeffers, Executive These men typify American initiative, ambition and enterprise which carries on and does things in spite of seemingly insurmountable obstacles and opposition. They are real builders of America. Those who drove the golden spike at Promontory are gone, but the Old Timers Club of the Union Pacific were 1,500 in number System brought to Portland by the company on a special train, to be in on the "christening" of the streamliner. President Gray, with his genial smile and wholehearted handclasp, is the connecting link between the old and the new order n rail transDortation. It took no great stretch of tion, as the bottle of champagne crash ed against the "bow" of this new train, to visualize the group of men wno drove the golden spike in ig69.

There are exceptions to this rule, of course, principally consisting of business which are in fear of legislative attack. But even these feel that there is a good chance that matters will work out well in the long run. Here are some business briefs of in- terest: RAILROADS: All over the counto retry lines are instigating drives Lower gain lost passenger traffic. rates and better service, more confortable cars, higher of the speeds, etc., are high spots drive. Western railroads have recentadvertisly gone in for a large joint ing program. Revival of conCONSTRUCTION: is believed domestic, struction, mainly essential to recovery, to employment, to Industrial activity at large. A billion dollars couia promawy uc spent for new homes, a billion more for renovizing old ones. Interesting Elecplan is announced by General tric Company which will spend $10, 000,000 for constructing 1,300 model houses, costing $6,000 to $10,500 each throughout the countr- y- one house to each 100,000 of population. Committees will work in every population center to find buyers for the houses. General Electric's main contribution will be to completely electrify the public view from September 1, when all houses will be completed, to October 31. "General Electric's hope is dethat this will cause a nation-wid- e mand for better, more efficient, more economical homes. UTILITIES : The NRA decision has put new confidence into this in dustry, for two diverse reasons: First, the most difficult utility operating problem has been to keep rates down in the face of NRA artifically boosted material costs a problem which has likewise applied to railroads and other industries with fixed rate bases. Second, and perhaps more important, the decision has given utility owners hope that the proposed Wheeler- - Rayburn bill to eliminate the holding company will be held unconstitutional when and if it reaches the High Court. MOTORS: Also gained from the NRA decision. In the words of Time, the industry has been setting"new re cords for profitless prosperity"--i- n that it is unable to pass along to the public the higher material costs the NRA forced it to pay. Big motor companies will now be able to use their vast bargaining power to cut the price for steel and other necessary commodities. Also, the NRA used car code provisions slowed down sales now that it is gone, and Mr. Public will be able to get more for his old car, motormen believe he will go for new cars in a big way. RETAIL TRADE: Price wars are rampant, especially in the tobacco, drug, liquor and sundry trades. Con sumers are thronging the cut price stores, where "loss leaders" predom mate. (Some chains recently sold cigarettes which cost them about $1.00 a carton for as little as 60 cents). Result is a terrific retail turnover. 20. tZ3 AIR CONDITIONING : Developments are coming fast in this, one of our youngest industries. Competition is tremendous, some 100 concerns bidding for business. This tends to give the public better equipment at lower prices and on more favorable terms. A new entry into the field offers, for less than $800, a unit that will provide complete summer air conditioning for from four to eight rooms for $15 or less a season. A highly interesting BANKING: development in this field is the fact that commercial banks are taking up small loan business, something they refused to do a few years ago. Large banks are opening personal loan departments, where responsible persons of small means can obtain money without going to the loan sharks who still charge anywhere up to 1,000 per cent a year interest. And there is talk that some savings and loan associations may go into the commercial field by accepting demand deposits. AGRICULTURE: A late survey shows a small, but encouraging, rise in the value of farms. Values jumped in 30 states, between March, 1934, and March, 11935, declined slightly in only five, and were unchanged in 30. Largest gains were in the cotton gest declines, as might be expected In theg drought area. 'EXPORT TRADE: In all but a handful of cases, America's export business was well ahead of a year ago, has held up since. Canada bought 13 per cent more, Italy 15 per cent more, Cuba 58 per cent more, Australia 53 per cent more, Mexico 25 per cent more. England and Japan barely got into the gain column with respective rises of 1 and 5 per cent. Principal drop came in Germany, which bought 62 per cent less from us. Exodus of Drought Cattle Are Double That of Last Year An exodus of cattle twice as great as that of a year ago was one of the results of drought in the Great Plains , this spring. During the crest of the movement in April and early May, 66,000 head were shipped in search of summer pasture through Kansas City alone. They came from the Panhandles of Texas and Oklahoma, north 'eastern Mexico, southeastern and southwestern Kansas. An additional 25,000 were handled direct of by the railroads making a total about 91,000 head, most of which went east of the Missouri river. Ordinarily these stockers and feeders would be Oolo-rad- o, so-call-ed Mrs. W. B.

With the May rains which fell in "dust bowl" of the south this west .there was a noticeable decline in inquirers for pasture, although moisture came too late to assure the customary amount of grass available for the summer season. With the rains many cattlemen also changed their minds about shipping to pasture and decided instead to ship in dry feeds for a little longer. p FORD MOTOR COMPANY ; t |
