Oregon A STATE llAILHOAl). Central and Southern Oregon need 'two things to Insure their proper de velopment namely a railroad and a deep sea harbor. So far as the har bor is concerned, that will come through the deepening of Coos Bay bar. The people of Coos Bay are alive to that need, and their earnest ness in behalf of municipal consoli dation for harbor purposes Is very apparent. But what about the rail road? A few days ago the Times sug gested that the people of Oregon had reserved to themselves the power to make laws and that by invoking the Initiative and Referendum for the purposo it would be possible to have the state build the railroad which Oregon so much needs and which Mr. Harriman does not build. It was not proposed to build It to be operated by the state, but simply to grade It, ballast It, provide it with ties and lay the rails. It is believed the right of way would be, for the most part, do nated. When completed the state would own it and lease It for a rental sufficient to repair and keep It up. It might provide for its use by all companies on equal terms. The sug gestion is that such a road be con structed to a central point, say, for example, Bend, In Crook County from Coos Bay and from Portland. It should then be constructed east, through Burns to Vale or some other favorable point where railroads from the East might reach and connect with it. In the future feeders from all parts of Oregon might build to a connection with the Inltiatlvo State road. That this would be one effective way of getting a railroad into Ore gon's neglected and forgotten dis tricts seems to admit of no question. Tho only other way is to wait for Harriman or his successors to build. If Oregon with tho crown Just above its head Insists on spending all of its time with the muck rake, there is no doubt she deserves her fate. But it is believed the time Is ripe and Ore gon Is ready to take the crown. What objection can there be to tho programme proposed? Is It because state ownership is Involved? It is not suggested that tho state operato tho road. It only owns tho track, roadbed and right of way. Tho Northwestern, tho Burlington, the Moffat road, the Rock Island, tho Clark road, tho Goulds, Hills or any other company can operato on it, through Central and Southern Ore gon as well as to Portland. Such a road Bho'uld satisfy nil parts of tho state. If the proper law could bo framed so as to provide for tho sur vey nnd location of tho roads between tho points mentioned and for tho se lection of commissioners who would bo charged with tho duty of placing state rnllroad bonds and raising money to construct, it should not tako long to have such a railroad ac tually and well under way. Indeed, tho mntter could be settled from a legal point of view at tho next gen oral stato election In June, 190S.

MAGNES & MATS0N FIREMEN OVERCOME IN CHICAGO FIRE Flames Cause 300,000 Damage in Shoo Company's Store in Chicago. Chicago, Nov. 8. Fivo firemen were overcome by smoke and a loss of $500,000 was caused In a fire In tho five-story building at State and Qulncy streets, occupied by the Hol den Shoe Company early today. The fire broke out in the top floor In tho repair department, and before the firemen arrived had spread to the next floor below. The burning leather filled the building with a dense smoke, and the fire men, unable to enter the structure, were compelled to fight the flames from the roofs of adjoining build ings. The five firemen were on a fire-escape at tho time they were overcome. D. M. Mcintosh, manager of tho concern, said that the company car ried a stock of more than $300,000, and that tho entire stock was ruined., It is estimated that the building was damaged to tho extent of $50,000.
