SUGGESTS RAILROAD
FROM HERE TO COOS
Judge Coke Thinks Pacific & Eastern
Shoud be Extended to Coos
Bay Wants Delegation.
"There ought to bo a railroad from
Medford to Coos Bay," stated Judgo
.1. I nke, ot Marshfleld, before his
departure for homo Wednesday.
Both cities need the railroad. ;t
would bo the maaking of great cities
out of them, and Medford should bo
Iho objective point rallier than Rose-
burg, because the road can be ex
tended east over the mountains, and
through Oregon from here. The Pa
oifie & Eastern should he extended to
Coos Bav.
"I hope Medford sends a (leelgale
o the Development Congress to be
hel dat Marshfield Aug. 121. Wo can
talk railroad matter then.
"There is no richer eountry in the
world thiin that about Coos Bay. It
is lhi best harbor on the coast. We
are niaaiifactnring millions of feet
of lumber. We have groat forest..,
large beds of coal, all the natural re
sources necessary for a great oily.
"1 like the onlorprisu and progress
of Medford and think the Rogue
River valley has a groat future -the
country is still in the infancy of its
development. I like your go-ahecd
and boosting spirit - it is tlw lliiu-;
j that makes cities."

GROWING FAST
Big Development is Expected Within
the Next Few Months in the
Thriving Little City.
Wiiodvile is on the tip-top of ex
pectancy and looking for big devel
opment in tho next few mouths. It
has become known that the Lowell
tract of 35 acres on Evans Crook,
adjoining the townsite and the rail
road, purchased by a man named
Smith, was in reality secured by the
Burglands of St. Paul, Minn, repre
sentatives of the Wisconsin Lumbber
i.. of St. Paul, owners of thous
and of acres of timber land in the
Evans Creek district. It is presumed.
in consequence, that the land yas se-
nred for mill and manufacturing
purposes, which will mean a railroad
into the timber belt.
Some two years ago a large force
of surveyors appeared nt Woodvillc
nd located a railroad hue up Evans
Creek t" 'he timber belt. They were
iipposi'i to bo employed by the Wis
consin Lumber Co., though they
clothed their moves with secrecy.
That the time has come for the de
velopment of the lumber resources
nd that the company has determined
to erect mills and factories, is the
opinvn of all Woodvillc.
Willi' the completion of tho new
bridge, ninking the Applegate scc
li.on tribaliirv to Woodvillc, the citi
zens look forward to a period of
rapid growth and development.
READY TO CARE FOR
CRATER TOURISTS
Prepared to Entertain All Visitars
at Steel's Camp Now Possible.,
to Reaflch the Lakeside.
"We are now prepared to care for
all visitors to Crater lake at StcelS
Camp, five miles from the lake,"
states Will G. Steel who left today
with a load of provisions and sup
plies. "Wo have tents to accomodate
lodgers, and serve meals. We will
make no attempt to entertain visitors
i tho rim of the lake this year, but
next year expect to have our hotel
in readiness.
' Tho snow has about gone, and it
is easy to reach the lake. Some of
tlie boats stored at the government
camp were demolished when the
buildings collapsed through weight of
-now. Many of tho buildings were
ruinpletely wrecked, but that which
we i'i'eetedwas undamaged.
"Travel promises to be very henvv
this year. Wo hope to entertain
President Taft and Senators Bonnie
mid Chamberlain are endeavoring to
induce him to make the trip."

ARCHBISHOP HAS
PRAISE FOR LAKE
"Nothing in Europe Can Compare
With Crater Lake," is Rt. Rev. .
Christie's Opinion.
"Crater Lake is one of the grand
est sights that man has ever gazed
iiKn. Nothing in Europe compares
with it. It should be made accessi
ble to the world, and when so. will be
worth millions of dollars to Oregon.
It is a shame that the effort to build
a state highway there has been tem
porarily blocked," stated Rt. Rev.
A. Christie, Archbishop of Oregon,
and the leading Catholic prelate of
the northwest, npon his return from
Crater Lake, which he visited in
company with Father Van Olaren
beck of Medford and Fathers J. J.
Can- of St. Mary's Church. New
York City, and T. J. Wilson, of Old
Point Comfort. Va.
"I have visited all the scenic won
ders of Europe and America," con
tinued the Archbishop, "and nowhere
is there an attraction equal to that
of Crater Lake. Objects far inferior
in scenic grandeur have been worth
fortunes to Switzerland, and in Cra
ter Lake. Oregon has a wonder that
will attract the people of both hemi
spheres, and bring in a never-failing
stream of revenue.
"Being pressed for time, we were
unable to go down to ' the water's
edge, but I am coming back for a
longer visit when the lake is made
more accessible, and accommoda
tions provided, as they must soon be.
"Second to the lake as an attrac
tion, I regard the scenic beauties that
we passed. I never saw such a mng
niicont forest as that surrounding
Prospect. It alone is worth the trip.
"It is extremely unfortunate and
short-sighted to block the construc
tion of the Crater Lake highway. Its
building means a great deal to the
entire state, more than is realized by
those who have not witnessed the
scientific exploitation of scenio re
sources in other countries."
The Archbishop left for Portland
Wednesday evening. Fathers Carr
and Wilson left
for their homes
Thursday.
