MONEV KOR RAILROADS.
The Portland Journal contains
a clipping from the Prlnevllle Review
which would be Interesting to Marsh
field, if some mysterious influence
did not touch and kill all local en
terprises In the nature of railroads
in this locality. Whether some
Southern Pacific emissaries start
these electric lines between North
Bend and Marshfiold and between
Marshfiold and Itoseburg, and then
walk off Into oblivion with the whole
project Is hard to say, but some
blighting influence gets busy when
the enthusiasm Is most pronounced.
Nobody knows who is holding the
Marshfield-North Bend proposition
down or where it Is hidden. Tho
Journal comments on the Review
clipping as follows:
The Prlnevllle Review says:
"The city will subscribe $150,000
to stock in a syndicate formed to
build an electric line from some out
side point cither Detroit or Shanlko
that will serve Prlnevllle, the
Agency Plains country, tho Des
chutes Irrigation & Power company's
segregation, Redmond and Bend. So
much has been learnod In an Inter
view with some of our leading citi
zens; and we want to find out how
much money the outlying districts,
and even other counties, would be
willing to Invest In such an enter
prise. In view of Mr. Ilnrriman's In
difference to our future, tho Review
thinks it would be only a measure
of prudenco to form such a corpora
tion and build our own railroad for
tho purposo of promoting settlement
of central Oregon, In order to bo
freo from tho dictates of Wall street,
instead of floating bonds wo must
raise the funds within tho borders of
our own state, and incur not moro
than trifling Indebtedness."
We expect to hear or read of a
good deal of this kind of talk dur
ing tho next year. Prlnevllle is a
comparatively small town, and if It
cau ralso ?1G0,000 for a railroad
outlet, how much, under a system
atic, organized plan, could bo raised
In Oregon, in stock, for railroads
that would break tho shackles of tho
Harrlman tyranny?
At least various towns and well
settled adjacent or contiguous dis
tricts can build or securo the build
ing pf electric lines, and theso will
help a good deal. Development talk
'Nls very well, but in Oregon's predica
ment tinder tho Harrlman reginio
Oregon people must mako their
money talk. A few million dollars
of Oregon money building railroads
would inuko Harrlman "stop, look
and listen."
A AVOID) TO THE JIAKIIOlt.
Is it tho North Bond Harbor or tho
Coos Bay Harbor? At any rate It has
a talented editor and If ho will do
his best for Coos Bay without trying
to diminish tho brilliancy of any
other port, ho cau and will bo a groat
force for tho future. Tho Times is
anxious to see North Bend become
so populous that it will havo to over
flow Into Empire, and to beo Emplro
grow Into Marshilold and Marshfiold
Into tho other two. North Bond,
Marshilold and Emplro each has bomo
shortcomings, but they liavo soinuny
merits that this paper has not tlmo to
point out defects or mnko compari
sons. So when tho Harbor calls at
tention to tho fact that idle men aro
numerous on Marshfiold streots, it
shows an inclination to narrow its
own sphere. it should romomber
that tho beaton track runs to Marsh
Held ut present. Tho mnrkot men,
farmers, sailors ashoro, loggors In
town, shoppors, men and boys going
and comlug, capitalists, tourists and
tho many participants in metropoli
tan Ufo aro dully thronglug Marsh
fiold streots, and whou men nro at
work on n building or basomont, they
stop und watch tho work. Tho samo
scoues con bo observed In any large
city. Thero aro no ldlo men on Coos
Bay, and this Is true of both Marsh
field and North Bend. It will also bo
noticed that tho Times never belit
tles its sister city and the Harbor will
please take notice that if there were
any men in Marshfiold who were out
of work, North Bend would be after
them; for North Bend Is a busy, stir
ring place and Is after all the men
who are willing or need the work.
I'UIJMCITV AND PROGRESS.
It is said that some people have
found fault with The Times for of
fering its services to help the city
council to take the people of Marsh
field Into its confidence. The Times
repeats the offer In this Issue, sug
gesting again that when a special
meeting of tho council is called If
tho council will telephone The Times'
office a representative will be pres
ent to report the meeting. Of course
this is on the theory that the cpuncil
is not holding an executive session,
but is willing -to have its work
known. Tho city government is
showing itself progressive and sa
gacious as is shown by its fire ordi
nance and Its work in connection
with some of the necessary public
Improvements. There is a great fu
ture opening up to the council and
In order that It may have full justi
fication for Its undertakings it should
adopt a policy of making Its sessions
known to the people through the ave
nues of publicity by the newspaper
press.

Forests and Mines of the South.
Away down south in Dixie are
many unused gifts of nature. Min
eral wealth and timber are the two
main iiems. About one-seventh of
tho mineral production of the entire
country comes from the southern
states. Of bituminous coal, the most
valuable mineral, the south produces
one-fourth, and of Iron one-ninth.
Its total coal resources amount to
nearly GOO, 000, 000 tons) or moro
than one-fourth of our estimated
coal reserve. The showing in iron
ore reserves records a safe minimum
of over 3,000,000,000 tons, or near
ly one-third of the nation's total.
Of workable iron ore the south con
tains ono and one-half times as much
as the famous Lake Superior dis
trict. And this does not Include the
deep lying southern ores, unworkable
at present. The forests aro chiefly
of two kinds, southern pine and hard
woods. The finest hardwood tim
ber left in the country, and the chief
source of present supply, is found
in tho south, mainly in two bodies,
the Appalachian forests and the vir
gin hardwoods of Arkansas and tho
bordering states to the southwest
and north. There aro about 50,000,
000 acres of swamp land in tho
south. Reclamation of the Ever
glades of Florida is an important
project being investigated by the
stato and federal departments of ag
riculture. If, as it seems probable,
it can bo carried through, tho result

Immigration in Citnmln Increases
Canadaward the tide of immigra
tion wends its way. The returns for
the first four months of 1907 show
a total Immigration into Canada from
all sources of a little over 80,000 as
compared with 56.3G9 for tho first
four months of 190C, an Increase of
about 43 per cent. If the same rate
of Increase Is maintained for the rest
of the year as now seems probable,
the 12 months will bo close to tho
estimate of 300,000 made some time
ago by tho Immigration department.
Although final statistics for tho
month of April are not yet available,
it is predicted that the total for the
month from continental and Ameri
can sources will bo in the neighbor
hood of 3S.O0O, an Increase of about
70 per cent as compared with A.pril
of last year. Of this Increase by tar
the largest part comes from Grekt
Britain and tho continent, Scotland
especially. But immigration from
the United States is falling off con
siderably, owing to tho lack of trans
portation facilities offered by the
railways of the west. During the
last few weeks the railways have
been getting in better shape to han
dle settlers' effects so that it Is prob
able that henceforward Immigration
from tho United States will record
large monthly Increases. During tho
fiscal year ending March 31st last
tho total number of immigrants into
Canada from the United States was
20,043, of whom 2,502 were return
ing Canadians. Most of these set
tled In tho western provinces.
