The contour map of the val ley was once shown to Mr. Ford," said tho speaker, "and he char acterised it as an ideal place for manufacturing and. agricultural development. He remarked on the water power 'opportunities, the favorable climatic conditions and the natural fertility of the soil." Dodson stressed the fact that agricultural and Industrial de velopment would go hand in hand; better farmers creating more need for manufactured products and increase in Indus trialism increasing jthe need tor agriculture. ; I . .!:". "Study the valley, find out all you can about it and thus prepare yourself to take a part in its de velopment," counselled Mr. Dod son. President Brown Sfesoa Intro duced Henry Crawford who in turn presented A. P. Fleming who is here this year to manage the horse show at the state fair. Mr. Fleming said the 8alenx show could be placed this year among the best on the coast. A special train has been chartered to ran from Pomona, Calif., to Salem and In it will-be 135 choice horses to bo shown throughout the week here. Mr. Fleming said his am bition was to crowd the horse show pavilion sufficiently to make it necessary to build more seats on the east side next year to accommodate the crowd. He urged townspeople to cooperate by securing a box for the six days of the show. Among the visitors introduced at the chamber meeting were E. W. Acklin. new proprietor of the Foot-Health shoe store; Sam Ko ter, state budget officer; Rev. A. n. sanaers ana Austin uoage, both of Eugene; Mr. and Mrs. John W.

Alderman Hawkins said the bridge bonds were authorized by more than two-thirds of the voters, and that constituted an in struction to the council to build the bridges. Other parts of tho city had been provided for and this section is equally deserving, he added. The question then arose as to whether plans had not already been prepared. Mayor Ltvesley was of the opinion that they had, but this was denied by Jflderman Townsend, who said that only the preliminary survey had been made. The motion was passed with on ly Alderman Rosebraugh dissent ing. A report of the ways and means committee as to apportino. ing the cost of the proposed siph on under Cottage street near Trade for extension of that street across North Mill creek, was laid on the table pending further In vestigation.

The sequel will show that this Is an important date in a new epoch of transpor tation and trade and commerce tor an empire in extent and re sources. How so? E. H. Harriman vision- ed the events that have moved in this direction in 1002, when he went into the Klamath section by stage coach, and soon thereafter established "Harriman lodge," his private hunting resort, for the use of himself and friends. The vision of Harriman's dream began soon to unfold: There was an Important mile post ot its un folding long after ho had left tho stage of his earthly career. This was tho opening ot the Cascade lino of tho Southern Pacific, from Eugene to Klamath Falls, and on to 8an Francisco. The Natron cut Off it was thoa sailed.

It Is 4120 feet at Klamath Falls, and about tho same at Altnras, The eastern rim of . Crater Lake can be seen on a clear day from a polat en the Hie north of Klam i ath Falls. This . gives Willamette valley points a direct passenger route to Ogden and eastern points 211 miles shorter than was bad before, by way of Rosevilie, a few miles east of Sacramento. And, by the same sign, a freight route that much shorterand that li the most important thiag in this whole new development. It means virtually tho cutting oft of two mountain ranges. It means the saving of two days on freight ship ments east, and west. It is cheap er of operation than, any other route covering tho territory in volved: aa empire la extent. The lumbermen of the Klamath basin will save ?250,t00 a -year on what they now saw of pine lumber, by tho reduction of freight costs. A similar saving will fellow on a long lino of products east and west. And that is only a new mile post In the unfolding of tho Harri man dream that came to him In Its initial foreshadowing on the shores of Klamath lake in 1001. Hero is another hint new, tho writer believes, to most readers, Tho Southern Paclflo main east side lino from Portland and Salem to Eugene is building new switch ea all tho time. They are being mado (0e feet. long. And they are all being built on tho same side of the track. What for? They are part et the double track road that, ere long, will extend up the Willamette valley. From Sugeno south and southeast, extending over to the double tracks of the old Central Pacific line, there are now two well built single traek linos, that, being operated by tho same company, amount in some of their advantages to a double traek lino. The dream Is unfolding. The operation of a double track line has many advantages, in forward ing fast freights. One train can follow another, without long waits on switches. They can keen rirht on moving, making for speed, effi ciency and economy. Tbls all means that Mr. Harri man saw, and those who are work ing out his dream see. that Ore, has a great future, which means a constantly increasing tonnage in neavy rreignts, to say nothing of passenger ana other traffic. The competition of tho new con struction of 96 miles from Klara- atn Falls to Alturas is not all that nas been done alone this nroaram recently. That work was done quickly. It started in March. But the roadbed is well built. 'Tho raus are heavy. The lino is meant ior Dig tonnage and hieh sneod traffic. Tho men who worked on tho new 00 mile stretch are proud oi in wore.
