The Bond Issue
UOSKIlUItn, Or., Jan. 11. A reg
ular mooting of tho Hosohurg-CooH
liny Ilullroad Commission was hold
Monday night nnd a niiinbor of mat
ters wero discussed appertaining to
this movement. DoWltt Van Oa
trniul, of Phillips, Wisconsin, presi
dent of tho Nconnh-Orcgon Land
Compnny, which has largo holdings
In this county, appeared boforo tho
Hosobiirg Commercial Club, and as
n Gcquol to that visit tho first rail
road commlttc'o was appointed to tako
up tho movement which resulted In
tho voting of tho $500,000 railroad
bond losuo and tho creation of tho
present railroad commission ut the
regular city election Inst October.
Mr. Van Ostraud stated that tho fi
nancial depression In tho ICast, as n
result of tho European war, now np
pears to bo relaxing, nnd normal con
ditions sconi likely In tho not dis
tant futuro.
Tho opinion seems to provnll In tho
oast that tho war la not llltoly to last
more than nnothor year, as tho chlof
participants! will hnyo lajgoly ox
hnustcd tholr nvallnblo resourcoa
within that tlmo. When tho wnr ends
thoro will bo an enormous domnnd In
this country for goods of various
kinds, ns well as for lunibor nnd oth
er building materials to replaco tho
cities destroyed. This Is hound to
bring great activity to all business
and financial Interests In this coun
try. On tho Pacific coast this In
fluence will bo especially folt, on ac
count of tho traffic facilities afforded
by tho Panama Canal. This canal ,
routo for shipping will also mnke '
avallablo tho big lumber mnrltots or '
tho Atlantic coast, as woll as farthor i
In tho lutorlor, via tho Mississippi
Hlvor and othor llnoa of transporta-'
tlon.
Ucsldos this thoro Is suro to como i
to this const soon after tho closo of
tho war a heavy tldo of Immigration
from tho war stricken countries.
Most of t)ioso will bocomo dcslrnblo
acquisitions toour population and
their chlldten will soon become- real
Amorlcnn citizens. Theso Immlgruuts
will holp to dovolop latont resources,
clear up logged-off lands and add
largely to tho production of matorlal
wealth.
In ordor to shnro in theso bonotlts
It Is necossnry that this railroad
luovomeut bo advanced as rapidly as
possible. Wlillo at present tho bond
markets are practically nil, tho Idoa
expressed by Mr. Van Ostrand Is not
to wait for tho bond doalora to mako
proposals tor tho local Issuo, but to
go right ahead with noccssary ar
rangements so thnt when tho bond
market opens, noseburg will in lino
for tho first monoy avallablo for
new Investments.
Theso Ideas woro vory favorably
received by tho commission, nnd bo
foro adjournment steps woro taken
for dotting directly In touch with
lnrgo financial Intorests In Minnea
polis, St. Paul, Chicago and Nv
