n address to the farmers ol Yamhill.
Poik and Benton counties haslieeu printed,
urging the building of the Dayton, Sheri
dan a, id Grand Ronde narrow gauge rail
road from its present termination in Yam
hill to Yaquina Bay. Thirty miles of the
road, now completed, is in litigation, and
will be sohl between now anil next June.
I'he indications are that it the people along
the line of tlie road do not lestir themselves
the W. O. Railroad Company will pur
chase this thirty miles of completed road.
and use it as a feeder to their road, and
the country lie put under tribute forever
to tlie broad gauge road. It the people
interested along the line of the completed
and contemplated road will organize, buy
in tbe road, suhscrilie the necess.iry stock
and complete the road to Yaqnina Bay.
they will assure to themselves continued
low rates of tare and freight. The compe
tition between the two roads will keep
prices down, while if the W. O. Railroad
be permitted to gobbie up the enterprise.
Hitcs will be doubled, and tlie firmer will
realize from 20 to 30 per cent, less tor his
grain than he otherwise would. On the
face of it. taking the address to be a true
statement of the matter, it is a matter of
tbe deepest interest to the citizens of tliose
counties, and if they are disposed to help
themselves the present circumstances are
more favorable than they probably ever wil
lie again for thorn to do so. It is said that
$78,000 will furnish enough iron to com
plete the road tr' King's valley, and the
farmers along the line will do the grading
at tlieir own cost. A little effort and the
road can be secured in the interest of the
farmer, and the tbe general interests of the
three counties vastly increased. Will the
farmers take hold of tlie matter ?
