Recently tliei'i' lias been a groat deal of discussion in the
Oregon dailies regarding Ilie broken promises of Kdward
If. 1 larriuiaii, in regard to tlie construction of railroads in
Oregon and bettering the scr'ice upon those lines already
'constructed. The papers have had their say; they have
told their side of the story. Hence it is interesting to
recall what Mr. Ilarriman said recently he fore the Amer
ican mining congress upon the construction of railroads
into undeveloped sections of the country, lie said:
"Xo man who has not participated in and watched the
pioneer work of the railways in opening up Ilie new coun
try of our middle and western states has any conception
either of the enormous lash undertaken and aecoinplished
liy the early railroad huilder or of the work accomplished
by these pioneer railway lines in the rapid westward ex
tension and in the suliseijiient development of this great
country. The railway construction across the plain ami
desert, with no immediate freight or passengers in sight
this opening up of vast sparsely settled regions and
nwailing the coming of passengers and freight has re
quired not only a faith on the pail of the thousands who
risked the investment of their money in the future of un
developed and in many cases of undiscovered resources,
hut, has also required their confidence in the future fair
treatment liy the American people of these railways as
the development of the country proceeds.
"fortunately there were people willing to lake the ex
treme hazard of investing their capital in railroads which
were built not to handle traffic already existing, but l
create traffic by making it possible for people to live am
prosper in undeveloped parts of the country.
"Manv of the original investors lost a large part of
their capital. The risk was greater than they thought
Put while these investors lost, the country profited. The
early trans-continental railroads and the lines that were
built after them made freight rales that enabled the farm
ers of Kansas, Minnesota and of the Dakolas to sell their
wheat at a profit in all the markets of this and other coun
tries, despite the relatively long distances that it had l
be hauled. They made rates that enabled the pie of the
Mississippi valley as well as the people in the western
states, to use, at reasonable prices, the lumber from Ore
gon and Washington. They made rales that enabled tin
people of every town ami hamlet in the country to obtain
the fruits of California and Oregon at a cost bill lillli
above that on the Pacific coast. They have transported
coal anil other heavy mineral products for distances so
t reat, and at rates so low as to be inconsistent with econom
ic management of the railroads but for the fact that at
those distant points these crude materials had tit vtltirtl
1lt'W iiltlnsl rlt . itlti'li litu;- i hint lt m Iht milium tl in
ert tisi nt) tniffif of " "'" r .""''
"The supplies of tli.'M- raw materials and cheap rail
road Irausoprtatiou have been. an. I still are. the founda
tion of the wealth of this great country: and on no other
foundation could this prosperity have been buildcd or be
maintained.
"In many parts of the country new territory is still
being opened and its development made possible by the
const ruction of railways. Put even while this pioneer
work is still in progress in the larger part of the country,
the struggle on the part of the railways during the past few
vears has been, and is now, to keep pace with the rapid
growth and the rapidly increasing needs for larger, faster
and in everv way more ample t ransportat ion facilil ics."
