Shaniko Road in
Bad Condition
The IYineville-Shaniko road is
said to be in the worst condition
known in many years. At places
so report has it, there is no such
thing aa bottem to it. Along that
portion between Grizzly and Hay
creek is the worst and the mail
stages there employ six horses to
draw or rather drag the coach, for
in many places the axles drag in
the mud.
While money is being subscribed
for the improvement of the
Shaniko road outside of Crook
county that portion within this
county's limits should have some
consideration, too. County Judge
Ellis says that it will be one of
his policies to do much improve
ment work on the county highways
during his term of office, and
money spent wisely in that direc
tion will undoubtedly meet with
tbe enure approval of the citizens
of the county.
The road to Shaniko is bv far
the most important of any to the
people of a larger portion of the
couuty, and it should be kept at
least passable during all portions
of the year.
HARRIMAN TO SPEND MILLIONS.
Continued from page 1.
should be reinforced by that of a
delegation of representative busi
ness men. It has been possible at
times in the past to arouse these
men for less important purposes,
and there should be no difficulty
in securing their services on this,
the most important matter that
has confronted Portland in many
years.
Let us for a moment dismiss all
vagaries and consider a few cold,
hard facts regarding the Central
Oregon railroad proposition.
Wheat, lumber and livestock are
the three great staples on which
a railroad must depend for traffic
in the Central and Southeastern
Oregon Country. Portland offers
no market for the lumber, and it
must go east by rail. The live-
stock is driven to California or to j
Eastern Oregon rail points. Lack1
of railroad faculties has prevented
grain growing on a scale greater
than necessary for home con-ump
tion. With transportation facili
ties available, it is estimated that
the" territory suitable for grain
growing could, under favorable
circumstances reach a maximum
production of 8,000.000 to 10,000,
000 bushels.
Ten years ago, when California
still figured as an exporter of
wheat, Portland would have offered
the only market on which that
Central Oregon wheat could be
sold. Today the California mar
ket can take every bushel of it, and
ten years hence the entire Ceo tral
Oregon territory will be unable to
produce one-half the amount of
wheat required by the California
market.
With Mr. Harriman's projected
line across the state from Ontario
and thence south to a connection
with the Shasta route, every bushel
of wheat in the Central Oregon
territory could be bauled to Cali
fornia by rail much more economi
cally than by the longer rail and
water route by way of Portland.
This would leave Central Oregon
in absolute command of the Cali
fornia wheat trade, for no other
locality in the Paci6c Nothwest
would be so admirably situated
for handling it.
Assuming that our people shall
not awake from the hypnotic spell
which Mr. Teal and Colonel Wood
have cast over them, and that they
proceed with the construction of
the state railroad, on what traffic
will this railroad thrive? The en
tire grain output of the country,
from strickly economic reasons,
will be drained out by the Harri
man rou'e to the south. The lum
ber will follow the short route to
the East by the way of Ontario.
Th3 live stock for Portland will
come out by way of Natron or
Ontario, and that for California
will follow the route it now takes.
These are condition, and not
theories, and they are entitled to
the most serious consideration by
Portland. It is now up to the
people of this city to decide whether
they will aid in securing the right
of way for a railroad for which
money his already been secured,
and which will open to this city
an immense trade field, or whether
they will follow the rainbow-
chasers and force the Harriman
system to build its road where it
will be wtbomed and not ob
structed.
