Portland, On*. Mar. 14. (Auto-
r-ster)—Bert Edwards, prominent
j Salem cattle buyer, is going nU to
Star. Idaho, to stake a gold claim.
Edwards recently bought eight
| head of cattle in the Portland stock*
I yards. \V hen they were slaughtered
■ it was discovered that each cow had
teeth covered with n gilt substance.
■ This substance was proven to be pure
I gold.
j A theory that the cattle suffered
| with toothaches, and had their teeth
I filled with Bold through the kindne»
of a rancher, was dispelled after a
thorouRh examination of the teeth.
Edwards is of the opinion that
the cows spent most of their lives
grazing on a plain virtually carpeted
with gold under the grass. Thus, in
eating, the cows got the gold in their
mouths from time to time and in
some manner it stuck to their teeth.
The animals hail from Star, Idaho,
where Edward* is convinced gold
must be as plentiful as mud.

are more prosperous this year than
they were a year ago if auto own
ership rnny be taken ns an indica
tion and the further fact that they
have become customers of Georgia’s
tag-selling department at the state
capitol.
According to Arthur T. Harris
chief clerk in the office of the Secre
tary of State and connected with
the department for the past 17 yearn,
60,000 more auto tags were sold in
January and February of this year
than were issued during the same
period last year.
Through March 1 of this year—
the last day tags could be bought
without extra cost—Mrs. Harris said
the department Had sold 188,441
compared with 128,000 sold at
fame time last year.
It is necessary now, as it has been
since the first of the month; for a
car owner first to go to the sheriff,
pay a fee of one dollar, secure a
ceipt from that official, showing the
fee has been paid, and enclose this
receipt in a letter with the auto
mobile tag application and a money
order for the amount of the license
before the delinquent putooist
get a tag.
After the present month the extra
cost* for getting a tag—now one
lar—goes up to 20 per cent, of the
tag price. Slow customers alreudy
are having trouble with the officers
of the law trying to run the old fliv-
over an old tag and further delay
is certain to entail considerably
trouble.

Central of Georgia Railway Compares Past Per
formance With Future Outlook for
Transportation
Eight year* ago this month the railways were returned from the control of the Government
to the operation of their owners. There is general recognition of the fact that railway service has
greatly improved since 1920. The ruilways can now bo depended upon to function efficiently.
Every line of business and commerce benefits decidedly ^hr *ugh reliable service.
Contrasting current conditions with those that prevailed eight yeraa ago, the public credits
railway management with increased efficiency, nor can it be questioned that the sentiment of the
people toward the railway* is much more friendly and favorable than it was when transportation
service was less satisfactory. Looking to the future, it is a matter of vital concern, both to the pub
lic and to the railway, that transportation shall maintain prevailing standards of service.
The improvements of the past eight years did not come about by chance. Numerous factors
contributed to transportation’s achievements; such ns, the investment of vast sums in facilities and
equipment, efficiency in methods of management, high morale of railway employes, and the co
operation of the public.
There is every reason to desire and to anticipate the continued functioning of all these fac
tors in the future, so that the mutual welfare may be advanced. Conditions are continaally chang
ing, however, and the problems for the eight years to come will not be those of the eight years just
passed.
In considering transportation affairs, the public should have certain fundamental facts clearly
in mind. The railways as a whole are not realizing the sj called “fair return,” contemplated
in the luw under which they have been operating. Rrates received by the railways lor carrying
freight have been continually declining for the past seven years. Freight traffic reeached a record
breaking volume in 1926, declined in 1927, and thus far in 1928 shows a further decrease. Pas
senger traffic is steadily and progressively lessening year by year, the railroads are required to
operate numerous unprofitable passenger trains. Large groups of employes have received wage in
creases. Taxes are on a continually ascending scale. This combination of circumstances merits ser
ious thought from the public. The Central of Georgia is by no means discouraged or disheartened
at the outlook. Its officers and employes are determined to give such service aa will deserve pub
lic approval, and are relying upon informed public sentiment to deal equitably with their railroad
as a contributor to the public good.
The future of ’.he railways will be assured if the business men of the country will consider
the railways as an integral part of their own business, and will accordingly exert an influence to
1 revent a weakening of railway earning power. An impairment of earning power would adversely
affect the service, which would, in turn, react unfavorably upon every business and upon all the
people.
Constructive criticism and suggestions arc invited.
J. J. PELLEY,
President, Central of Georgia Railway Company.
Savannah, Ga., March 13, 1928.
