RAILROAD DEVELOPMENT
The Oregon Electric, a new'
railway line which has been
luiilt through the heart of the
Willamette valley, has occa
sioned a development of that
country which is described as
truly wonderful. A similar in
dustrial impetus would be given
this section on the advent of a
railroad, only, this country be
ing without rail transportation
at all, the rapidity of develop
ment would be almost beyond
comprehension. Commenting
on the service given hy the Or
egon .Electric, the Oregonian
reasons thusly:
'Oregon has suffered too long
from that policy which has re
sulted in no roads being built
because there were no settler;?
where roads were wanted, the ob
vious reason for the absence of
settlers being failure of the rail
roads to supply tranportation
facilities. It was simply a case
of the railroads mistaking the
effect for the cause, and it re
mained for the Oregon Electric
to expose the fallacy of such
leasoiiiiig. The people living
along the line of the Oregon
Electric, prior to its construc
tion, despite the altendant difii
cullies, suceeded in reaching
a market ' with their products
and in getting supplies back to
their homes. But poor transput
; talion and high charges re
moved all incentive that might
nave attracted new settlers
'They huddled in close to the
' cijifH, or settjed in Washingtoi.
where suburban 'lines have
made life more attractive foi
the people who do not caiv to
live in the uity. Willi the com
ing of the Oregon Electric ap
peared a host of new settles
who scattered out fiom the cit
ies and began developing thi
ricli lands along the road.
- The development is, of course,
in its infancy, but it is increas
ing more rapidly than ever be
fore, and each additional mil
'ot new electric line or steam
railroad means" more people and
more tramc as soon as it is
in operation. The figures given
in the Oregon Electric report, of
course, do not take into accounl
the interest on the investment,
luid it will necessariljr bo a
year or two before the road can
make a very good showing for
tire men who have put their
money into it. At the. same
time it has demonstrated thai
it is possible to build up a traf
fic where none existed before, if
the proper transportation facili
ties are provided. Similar re
sults follow the construction of
hll railroads in a hew, rich
country like Oregon.
For 3'ears Astoria was denied
railroad connection because "the
route could not supply business
for a railroad," and yel, as soon
ns the road was biiilt; new
towns sprang into existence and
hew indtistHea were started,
'and today the traffic which
pours off that '00-mile stretch of
load between Goble and Asto
ria is simple) phenomenal. That
it is all new traffic is shown by
llle fact that the steamboats are
'doing practically the salne
amount of business that they
were handling before the rail
road was built. The Oregon
Electric iS a bright and shining
exaniple of what an indepEii
dent, well-hianageci transporta
entitled to hearty support and
liberal treatment from the peo
nle. and the same treatment
should be given tb all transport
tation lines that ban be induced
to come into the field and aid in
the development and up build
iucof Orecon . and the" Pacific
Northwest." . f
WILL GET THE RAILROAD
Oregonian
Ranchers at Madras, on the
Agency Plnins, fifty miles from
the terminus of the Columbia
Souihern lluilroad, are sinking
a deep well with the eXpet ta
lion ot striking oil at no great
depth. Whenever they discov
er oil the' will shortly there
after discover the railroad for
which they long have sought.
But they will ge.t the railroad in
time, whether they find oil or
int.
This is' an excellent point for
some enterprising man to start
a brick 3'ard. With more or
less building here all the time
There is always a demand for
this material. At present build
ers are compelled to send to
Prineville and Shaniko after
hrick, 35 and 40 miles distant
respectively, or rusort to a stove
pipe through the roof, which at
all limes is a dangerous propo
sition There is a prospect ot
eonsideinblw building in Mad
ras and vicinity the coming
. r
year, anu me manuiaciure 01
brick at this place shoulu prove
a profiiable investment.
