NEWS OF LANE'S

CHARLES H. FISHER. Editor and Publisher
During the past six months 195 new electric lighting com
panies have been formed in the United Staes and twenty in Can
ada and Mexico. The present total for the United States is
5264 companies and 5740 including Canada. Mexico and the
West Indies. These figures show a total gain of 276 plants for
the corresponding figures of a year ago.
Of the total 5740 plants included, no fewer than 3193 carry
electrical supplies, which implies the handling in the aggregate
of a very large quantity of electrical material. As many as
4154 of the plants have alternating current, while apparently
1669 are direct. The spread of alternating current methods
is shown to be astonishing. Of the plants enumerated, 125 re
port themselves as pure transmission, or else include railway
while 594 others, all either lighting or transmission or else in
clude railway work as well.
Illinois has still the largest number of plants, 298, though
outside of Chicago few of them are of considerable magnitude.
New York has 358 and Pennsylvania 346, the last state gaining
fourteen in the six months, which is rather remarkable for so
settled a commonwealth. Ohio has 289, Michigan 253, and
Texas the large number of 228, surpassing Indiana with 218
and Iowa with 207. Oklahoma has already 76 and New Mexico
15. The largest gain in the half-year is in New York, with 17,
which compares with the 14 Pennsylvania, and would indicate
that to the newcomer, public service commissions may not be so
terrible after all. As a matter of fact, the gains are distributed
all over the country, few states being without some new enter
prise of this kind reported.
HOW MEDFORD GOT THE RAILROAD.
Medford seems at last near the realization of its dream for
a railroad into the big timber belt east of that city. The Pacific
& Eastern, which was built for about thirteen miles in that di
rection four or five years ago by popular subschiption, after
many vicissitudes, has been sold to an eastern capitalist, and it
is given out that Mr. Harriman will supply the rails for an ex
tension of seventeen miles. Thus the enterprise of the people
will be finally rewarded and the object for which they have
striven attained. Ail it has cost them is the effort required to
make the initial investment, since they received back dollar for
dollar the amount of their stock about two years ago, when the
road was first sold under foreclosure.
Medford's experience may be taken as an example for the
people of Eugene, whose greatest wish, in the way of business
expansion, is to develop the Siuslaw valley and make its grow
ing trade directly tributary to this city.
Even if the 1 lackest
tures of the objectors to the present railroad proposition should
become real, and if we should in the end get but fifteen miles
of railroad for the $150,000 stock subscription proposed to be
taken by local people, it would in the end prove a splendid in
vestment. It would be a start toward the Siuslaw and it is safe
to predict that its extension to tidewater would be merely a
matter of time.
Medford's experience has been similar to that of many other
enterprising communities whose efforts to reach out for busi
ness have met with discouragement and delays, but in the end
persistence and energy have always triumphed.
