HE, QUESTION of paramount Importance in the development of
this state and the growth of this city 1 that of transportation fa
cilities. Ab matters stand it will serve' no useful purpose to con
demn this one or berate that one for not doing what would
appear-a plain duty. It Is a condition that we are caned upon
to deal with , and it is now time that something be done to open up
to settlement the vast Interior of this, state. .A brief i review of the
state's growth in population la the last 10. years 'and the result "of . de
pending upon" others to. do what we should have done for ourselves
presents the necessity for action more forcibly than any argument.

A fair test of increase in population is the vote'eaat. At the June ""taportanee, anyway.
election of 1898 the vote cast in the state for supreme Judge was 81,-
046, of which number 15.270 were cast in Multnomah county. In 1908
the vote east for the same office In the stafe was approximately' 100,'
OjOO and in Multnomah county 30,000. In other words, basing the pop'
ulation on the usual percentage, it, would appear that the population
- of the state has Increased in 10 years more than 120,000. . Based - on
rthe vote cast, at least -75,000 of this number is accounted for by the
, growth of Portland alone.
This showing after 10 of. the most prosperous ears ih country has
ever known should excite grave concern and even Incline us to hear
these . disagreeable facts. Our pride should not prevent us giving the

all kinds of agricultural and horticultural, products.. The livestock In
dustry u important. Its fisheries, mines and other resources are well
known. t It has water powers in abundance, a progressive population
and a splendid climate, Yet with all these our neighbor state across
the river on the north, with not more than two thirds our area, has In
the 10 years under review far outstripped us in population, and now
has three representatives In congress with a probability of a fourth af
ter the next census. Is It not time some attention should be given
this subject? The reason IS" not hard to find nor far to seek. It is lack
of transportation, caused by the absolute control that one system, one
tnan'e domination, has had in Oregon. . , " n
This fact Is absolutely- demonstrable: A glance at the map of the
two states will show the difference in this respect In 1898 the six coun
ties, "which together form central Oregon, comprising an area ' of over
4.0,000 square miles, cast 6,478 votes, showing a population of about
27,600. In 1908 the vote cast was 7,042, or a population of about
.35,000.. There was not even one inhabitant to every square mile. This
great country, far greater in area thanv many of the states in the union,
is absolutely without transportation facilities. ! Much the greater part
of the state Iving west of the Coast Range mountains Is also without
transportation. Consider what. It would mean to this state and city if
all this territory was properly served by railroads.
: "We want Immigration, we want; tne settlers, but where shall ; we
put them when they come? The home builder ordinarily la not looking
for nor can he pay for the high priced grain land, of Umatilla or the
higher priced orchard land of the valley. ; What he la seeking is unoc
cupied land out of whlch'he can make a home. Show him that and a
way to market his products and -he will come. " This was prove'n be
yond question when even the rumor of a railroad extension south from
Shaniko caused every acre of land on Agency, Plains In Crook county to
be taken up and cultivated. And those deluded people raised Jast year
alone on that one tract over 1,000,000 bushels of wheat which they
could not market Because pi tne lacs or transportation

the. transportation interests' of this state have been under one manage
ment. ;;Ten years gives ayery fair perspective and is time enough to
lurnisn a iairiy accurate tesi oi ine. policy towara tne siato ana its
development. Repeated efforts have been made to interest those in
power in building new roaas ana opening new territory, but without
avail,' and today the mileage is substantially the same as it was 10
years ago. -
; In 1903, five years ago, the building of a road into central Ore
gon waa definitely promised, but not a Bpade of earth was ever, turned,
The building of this road was abandoned through local influences under
the specious plea that a road from the south would be more serviceable
and better located. ' Five years have passed and that section has neither
road from the north or the south or the east or the west and is as
securely bottled up as it was before the. promise wag made. r A start
was made toward Coos bay and Tillamook, which in time no doubt will
be built. - Not content with not building themselves, the interests dom
inating the transportation of this state have bitterly contested the
building of roads by others la "their territory." They-would-not build
themselves and others should not If they could prevent it. To add to
the difficulties and to still further discourage development, about three
or four years ago the land grant of the Oregon & California Railroad
company, was withdrawn from sale and the development of the Willam
ette valley badly handicapped. " ' '
Some new lines have been projected into southeastern Ofesron from
California, the building of which will attach that portion of the state
commercially to tHe latter, state. '
During the past 10 years no new country in the atate of Oregon has
a most respectful I been openeil up to settlement by the bulldlpg of railroads. ,In short,
