SAIEH'S IDRAS OF A RAILROAD.
A correspondent in tho Salem
Statesman discussing the rivalry be
tween Salem and Albany in regard to
railroad connection, especially the
Astoria and South Coast railroad,
says of Albany and her harbor, Ya
qnina bay:
"Her harbor can be completed only
at great cost, and then can only be
accessible to small sized vessels. But
Salem's proposed ronte leads to deep
water, and is accessible to all sea go
ing vessels, and as trade seeks the
most practicable routes it mnst ot
necessity seek that way. Thus would
Salem receive the travel and trafllo of
a transcontinental line, besides the
developed trade of tho new country
through which the line passed. The
proposed ronte of the road from Asto
ria to connect with the O. F. line lies
through n section of country un
touched by any proposed railroad
.route to Nestucca, and ot course as
yet undeveloped as to its farming
and mining resources. But from
Nestucca to Salem and east to Stay
ton it lies through as good a farming
and grazing country as the sun shines
upon, on this continent, and wonld
support a railroad itself, as this pro
posed route is tho shortest and best
outlet to deep water, and any road
commnnioating with such a harbor
as Astoria must of necessity carry
with it the facilities for cheaper
transportation than any other route,
and would naturally draw to it nil the
traffic of the country through v.-liich
it passes. And as this will open a
direct line of railroad from .Saloni to
New York and all points cast, it looks
like a city ot the pretentions of Salem
ought to take advantage ot each a
state ot affairs, and use her utmost
endeavors to secure such an addition
to her facilities. "When this road
passes through Salem, no one will
deny that every dollar's worth of
property in this city will enhance in
value very greatly, and the value of
snob an enterprise to farms nnd
farmers in the enhanced value of
products caused by a cheaper trans
portation to deep water, can only be
estimated by the amount in years to
come. The fact that the proposed
route is the only one feasible to con
nect Salem with a deep Eea port, in
creases the magnitude of the interest
to Salem. Now the route from Salem
east lies through the Waldo hills,
whose fame for fine farms is pro
verbial; the further it extends up the
Santiam the more of this country it
passes through. Stayton is a thriving
little town that enjoys tno best water
rower in the state, and from that
point the Santiam is easily bridged,
.having been indicated oy engineers
jftbosi one Tear ago as the most feasi-
Iflejeist to bridge. "Why don't the
ynfie all along the line do something
'io'Xenxe 'iHis route before some
bersiorB enterprising section ce-
oanrtne advantages r javery iarmer
-rioae the line, every man in Salem
"wioxrwns property or does business;-
ongnt to consider well before no lets
the opportunity pass."
Some Clatsop county property
owners who are slow to grant right
of way through their property to the
Astoria and South Coast railroad, a
home enterprise, for the benefit of all
in this vicinity would show more
sense, public spirit, enterprise, and
business foresight it they would aid
instead of hindering an enterprise
that will surely very much increase
the value of every acre of land they
own m the vicinity of the road.
