All that ho saw rere jackrabbits and coyotes. 1 A vear or two lat,er John P. Stevens made the same trip. Jle saw the possibilities of a great inland empire. His prophet c imagination pictured the vast neglected region dotted with populous communities, tens of thou sands of farms under cultivation, countless resources un der development. lie saw that the only magic needed to fulfill the vision was a railroad and he started to build oue. In a .brief year, with thti. co-operation of .Fames .!. Hill, Ve.',cJianged '"the jnap and destiny or Oregon. ' "' This diffci-encc'lietween what Uarrjiman saw and what iStcvens sawunarkeil tlui difference between iluijggp inch. To the one, the gamble. of the stock markeT,lhe exploita tion of the public- by means of manipulating railroads built by other men, appealed. To the other, the gamble of de veloping a state by means of creating a railroad system, appealed. The one exploited, the other developed. - Railroads, and the history of railroads, prove that thej always pay through new countries. J n nearly all instances, the stock of railroads represents no cashinvestment. Yet the profits have been so tremendous that it has been nec essary to frequently '-water the stock to hold down the per centage of profit and even these inflated securities are, in most instances, selling above par. "Where Ilarriman saw only rabbits and coyotes, the uncompleted railroad Stevens built, though in operation onlv a few months, is alreadv doing a business of over j $1400 a day. The unfinished isolated western end, the Pa I cific & Eastern, though only finished as far as Butte Palls i for a few weeks, is doing four times the business previous Li v estimated as in sight. r- .. . .. . ii t Kailroads always create nusiness. Tiiey open tnc door of oui natural resources and a golden stream ol revenue gushes forth. There is no undeveloped section of Oregon today wnere a ranroau win not pay nur, ior mai ihuillt, no developed section that a competing railroad will not return big dividends on watered stock. Mr. Gray, the new manager of the J I ill lines in Oregon, is quoted as saying that he knows nothing about Oregon and is in doubt whether it will pay to build any more rail roads here or not, and that he will have to look ov;r the state when he gets time and decide that question. Mr. Gray must have been misquoted. There is noth ing more apparent than Oregon's need of railroads. To stop the construction now means to stop the material progress and development of the state. It means, more over, an insufficient return on money already invested, for unless the railroads under construction are finished as planned, they will not be the .dividend producers they would be otherwise. The most important of the linos projected is that of the Oregon Trunk, and its extension to a connection with the Pacific & Eastern. Tt develops a virgin country; it taps an immense timber district, a developed horticultural and mining territory. The completed line will give the Hill system a share of the fruit business of southern Oregon, and it will give it a huge lumber traffic to the east. The rapid development and settlement of timberlcss central Oregon makes a market near at home for the lum ber to be manufactured along the Pacific & Eastern. The varied 'products of tho country, constantly increasing in output as development proceeds, make an ever increasing volume of traffic. JJntil the Oregon Trunk trains enter Medford it will not have fulfilled its destiny. Mr. Gray has not yet looked over this section. It is hoped that he will soon, and when he does there is little doubt that he will come to the conclusion that there is1 one railroad now half built, that it will pay to complete. Mr. Gray has a great opportunity and it is to be hoped that he will take full advantage of it, and that the name of Gray will rank alongside those of Jlill and Stevens as developers of Oregon. If tho man who causes two blades of grass to grow whore one grow before deserves well of posterity, the man who causes a million acres to bo cultivated where only tho rabbit and eoote roamed has earned a niche of. honor in Oregon's half of fame.
