Railroads blamed for slow revival in western business
Athena Oregon Sept 18 report from Commercial National Bank of Chicago editors points to lack of railroad buying as the weak spot in revival. New York Commercial Bulletin argues higher freight rates and universal contribution to railroads could restart iron and steel, lumber, and construction demand, restoring work and industry. Eastern finance favors railroads over other sectors, but Western readers dispute the premise as the path to prosperity hinges on broad consumption and investment. The National Conservation Commission outlines waste across waters, forests, lands and minerals, with irrigation and water power waste highlighted, plus Pacific Northwest views on parcels post and public sentiment toward new mailing forms. The piece notes quotes on irrigation waste, appendicitis jokes, and taxonomies of aviation terms.
