Angel to Stay ton is being invaded by a crew of sur- veyers who are laying out a real railroad connecting Silverton and Stayton and intermediate towns which will greatly increase the l*ossibilities of the trade into the northern states ef Montana, the Dakota’s and Colorado south* ern points. This line when completed will reach into central Oregon and give us direct connection with the Hast via Mtnto Pass. Stay- ton with Its water power could out strip the present business Importance of Silverton and the present mills would be increased and new ones organised as mills on lines west of Portland are now shipping timber to Bath, Maine. This shows the possibil ities of our manufactured lum ber market with first class rail connections. We think when these right-of- ways are asked for they will give us quick service and we believe the farming district and town folks alike should unite and assist in every way possible. Don’t be a knocker but open up. If Stayton don’t get a railroad we loose nothing and if we do we will surely be on the map. Mr. Lynott has had part of this right-of-way toward Mill City since last May and guaran tees with each contract for right- of-way to have it in operation within a reasonable time. The only delay to immediate grading is to secure the right-of- way and the finish of the sur veys. Mary Pickford In “Tht Eternal Grind” Saturday, Star Theatre.
