If any one does not think the ocean and seaside at­
tractions will be of beifefit in building up western Lane
coast country the following item taken from the Eugene
Guard ought to help change his opinion:
"Over 400 passengers were carried on the special ex­
cursion train from Wendling through Eugene over the
Portland Eugene & Eastern to Newport yesterday. Of
this number 160 were from Eugene, 152 from Wendling
and the balance from points between Eugene and Cor­
vallis. Three trainloads of people were carried to New­
port Sunday, for in addition to the regular train and the
Wendling special, a special was run from Woodburn.
Scores of people are going to Newport daily. Thia
morning, a train leaving Portland at |:30 o’clock was
filled with people taking day coaches and staying up all
night in order to make early connections in Albany.”
But to just sit and wait for a forced development
means that Florence will not get what she is entitled to,
when the railroad transportation reaches the Siuslaw.
