Pendleton plans to urge the railroad commission to study a potential local Pendleton to Portland train. Proponents argue crowded cars, unsanitary conditions, and late mainline trains justify a hearing and investigation. The city stresses fair access to service and cites Pendleton as a key origin point for the O. R. & N. system.

Pendleton urged to build harvesters locally
An editorial reprinted from the Salem Statesman urges Pendleton to attract or establish manufacturing for harvesters and threshers. It notes freight from California to Oregon's grain belts, questions why Pendleton imports such machines, and argues local production would benefit the wheat region and reduce reliance on distant suppliers. The piece likens the situation to familiar domestic shortages.
