PRACTICAL ROUTE FOR HILL.
- Bend is an admitted goal of the Hill railroad down the
Deschutes valley.
Crescent City, Cal., is an available and practical har
bor for an ocean terminal.
Place a ruler on the map and Medford will be found
on an approximately straight line connecting Bend and
Crescent City.
A railroad built on this line would skirt the base of
the Cascades east of Crater Lake and west of Upper
Klamath, cross the range at the Fish Lake pass, come
down the Pacific & Eastern to Medford, thence southeast,
via the Josephine caves, to the coast.
Such a railroad would secure tonnage every mile of
the way from Bend to the coast. It would tap vast for
ests between the Deschutes and Butte Falls, the great fruit
district of the Rogue river, the Medford coal district, the
Blue Ledge, Takihna and other rich copper regions, hun
dreds of producing gold mines, numerous agricultural val
leys and the great redwood timber belt.
Contrast such a route with-any other route to Califor
nia from Bend. The Pitt river route, the only practical
pass, traverses arid sagebrush plains for; hundreds of
miles" with never a tithe of the possible tonnage.
Between the two, which is the probable route that Hill
will utilize to reach San Francisco? -
From Crescent City the route would go south to Eu
reka, thence along the coast to the Bay City. This coast
line would be of expensive construction, but. no more so
than the North Bank line. It would afford tourisfs the.
. most attractive of all possible routes, with the ocean con
stantly,, jn view, i$44&f&v.m,l;-t0,u- .
)i Hill has given no inkling of his intentions, but such a
route is practical and a money maker, and some day will
he constructed, if . not by Hill by some r ;other railroad
genius.

epidemic of street improvement break
out on the East Side at any .time.
There are a few fellows over there
that can se that it will double and
triple the value of their property.

Novel Decree Handed Down by a
Wise Judge.
Jmlpe Harris of Cook county, Il
linois, handed down one' of the most
novel decrees in tho history of di
voroo litigation: "Win the love (ot'
your children in neven days aiid you
can have them," is what ho told Mrs.
Hex Martin, who wished to bo sepa
rated from her husband and have
tho custody of tho twu children. At
tend the Snvov touigli am! see Luw
this decnt51tvJuTeJ out. The story
is clearly .portrayed, consistently
acted by a clever company in a pie
turceutitled "Seven Days." Western
dramas are always welcome, especial
ly if they are full of fire and action.
"Tho Evil TLalun Do" fills the bill,
being misf'the bst western pictures
shown in some time, "Oil, Unclol"
is the lntest and best comedy piuture
on the market, a laugh producer of
great merit. Don't fail to see this
one. Entire chungo of program to
morrow night. One dime. .
