Pettyjohn & Son, Owners. .vs ; Greater Tfeau Oregon Because ol Beticr Railroad faculties and Industrial Development Discussing lb reason why Wash ington ha ouUtri-ed Oregon in population and development, the Crook comity Journal ay: "The tate of Washington ha a population of nearly a million, while Oregon can Uiaal of no mor than half that n timber. Oregon wa admitted to statehood in 1H.VJ, Washington about 1SS2. The re source of Oregon are fully a great a those of Washington, yet the Utter' population ha doubled our in less than hlf the time. State Senator Reed of Yakima county, Washington, who wa here last week, gave it as hi opinion that the only reason hi state ha gained in population over Or. gou lie in their superior railroad facilities Washington ha two transconti nental railroad ytein crossing eaet and west, and a third system now building. Oregon hi one running along the extreme north ern border and reallv useful for about 25 mile south of it track. All tbe Washington line were pro jected through undeveloped terri tory, territory then regarded a worthle- and uninviting, like our central Oregon ol today. What an object lesson! For 350 mile south of the Columbia there ia do rail road except on paper, and the country remain practically in tbe condition it wa when the Indians discovered it. It is railroad inac tivity alone that is responsible for the lack in population in Oregon. How long is it to last?" These are fact with which com petitive line of road are fully con versant, which explains the great activity throughout the state in surveying new lines, some of which are bound to be built. The Oregon press can accomplish much for Oregon's development by constantly hammering away on this line. It will, eventually, and at no distant day, send several new transcontinental lines spinning across the state. If the roads now so much talked of are really built the state will take on a new impetus for growth that it has never before had. The people of Oregon are too easy and slow to grasp opportunities for the development of the state and nu merous enterprises have gone by which might have been kept here. To Open Rogue River As Far as Grants Pass Grant's Pass, Or., Aug. 11. -The business men of this place are con sidering a proposition to open Rogue river to navigation from Grant's Pass to Wedderburn. That the river can be made navigable for boats of light draught has been proven during the past year by fishermen, who have been up and down the stream. Captain J. M. McTntire, an old Columbia river steam boatman, says that if it were not for the rocks he would rather run a 150-ton stern- wheel boat on Rogue river than on the Cowlitz river. A gasoline launch has been run ning on the river this summer, hauling fish and towing the fish boats for a distance of 30 miles down the river. With Rogue river freed from these obstructions, a part of Ore gon will be opened up whioh is now practically isolated for lack of traniportation. The supplies for this section are now packed in from West Fork with mules. The Gram's Pass Commercial Club has taken the matter up, and a committee has been appointed to work with the business men to raise funds with which to remove the obstruction to navigation.
