Then the thing to do is to put up the money and go to work. As soon as the stock subscription is fairly under way, say when the first $50,000 is raised, a small cash assessment ■ should be levied and the surveyors put to work locating the line permanently. When the $100,000 point is reached actual grad- mg should be commenced, and work should not stop until Eu gene has a railroad to the sea The people along the line of the road, the farmers, dairy men and timber owners, will help the residents of this city build it. They will contribute money, labor or material as their means will permit. The motto in this railroad movement should be "Everybody helps, for everybody wants the railroad. In its construction Les the hope of Eugene’s future importance as a city, and the farmer, the fruitgrower, the dairyman and lumberman ot Lane county all need it in their business. The people here will only have to build enough of this rail road to show their faith in it and place it upon a bonding basis. But if they should pay every dollar of its cost it would be the best investment they could make. Let the work begin that will give Lane county’s merchants and producers access to the sea! READY FOR SIUSLAW RAILROAD WORK ♦ ♦ In a day or two more the soliciting committees will be ready : for an active campaign for stock subscriptions to the Eugene- : Siuslaw railroad. The movement this time will be carried on ♦ along absolutely business-like lines. It is proposed to go right ♦ ahead and build the road just as fast as it is possible to build it. « ♦ and when the funds are exhausted to issue bonds for its comple- , ♦ tion. The plan presents the only possible method of securing ♦ ♦ the construction of the road, according to htose who have spent ♦ the most time in going over the situation, and it will succeed ♦ beyond a doubt if everybody who should help will take an inter- est in the movement and help push it along. It should be borne in mind that this is a popular movement for the good of the entire community, in which no one's personal interests will be allowed to take precedence, and that those who have been active in promoting the enterprise for the past year will receive no pay, either in stock or money, for their services. It is simply the outgrowth of a determined effort to do some- thing for Eugene that will place it on a foundation for future growth and prosperity. All that need be said in advocacy of this railroad movement is that we need a railroad through the timber belt and dairying country to the west that will terminate at navigable water__ everybody admits this to be the case. We can secure such a road if we will put up our money and go to work upon it. It is up to the people to say by their subscriptions to stock whether they desire a railroad to the sea.
