CAN WESTERN OREGON AFFORD TO WAIT "Produce, produce, produce,” with emphasis on “produce," was the word of advice left by the great “empire builder,,” James J. Hill, the head of one of the greatest and most powerful transcontinental railroad systems on the American continent, who is just penetrating the Oregon field, anrl who, in company with a big coterie of capitalists of the East, visited the Capital City for a few moments yesterday afternoon. . . Get more people and make them produce; that is the sole solution of the problem of the future growth of your empire. —Salem Statesman. epment where we must have railroads. If the people of Laue county would give up all other forms of ‘ boosting’’ and exptn.i all their money and tne energy they have to devote to public en terprise for the next two or three years to the construction of a railroad to the coast—less than fifty miles to tidewater—popu- laion would would follow, industries would come, and other rail roads would hasten to reach a field where there was business to share. If grading was commenced in earnest on the proposed Eugene-Elmira railway now in ninety days Hill s Oregon Electric would be pushing up the valley toward this city, and the Harri man people would rouse from their lethargy and get busy. Fifty miles of easily constructed railway would result in giving Eu gene terminal rates on all lines, because the coast road would do all the freight business, unless its competitors met the rates it established. Here is the simple solution of the principal difficulties con fronting those who have at heart the development of the Wil- lamette valley. We may work out our own salvation, or we may wait, WAIT, WAIT_ true to the time-honored traditions which have made the Oregon mossback’s reputation world-wide. The advice of Mr. Hill is the same kind of dope that is ped dled out in Western Oregon by the Harriman officials and by the representatives of the Portland Commercial Club. Its substance is: “You don’t need railroads or factories, but more people.” Western Oregon must develop first and then the railroads will come in, is queer logic. Hill does not apply it to any other part of the country. His railroads invaded the Dakotas, Montana, Washington and British Columbia ahead of the desired population, in order to carry the settlers in. Also the steam en gine is pushing through the wilds of Eastern Oregon ahead of the population that he desires Western Oregon to attain without the assistance of the railroads. Portland is filling up with factories, because railroad rates make it impossible for them to exist in any interior city of the state—and the siren voice of the Portland publicity man tells us we do not want factories until we have more people—wait, wait, just as we have been waiting for fifty years! Neither do we need railroads—because transportation facilities will bring factories before Portland and Jim Hill and the Harriman officials think we ought to have them. This kind of talk is beginning to pall on the people of the Willamette valley. They are prone to ask what we can can do do — • - * *---- — A - J _ with more people unless we have something for them to do. Hill says put them on the farms, but will Eastern people, accus tomed to railroad transportation at their very doors, electric and steam, be anxious t^ settle ten, fifteen and tw-'nty-five miles from the single line of railroad, and haul their produce to a congested, isolated market over Oregon's country roads? Poultry raising, dairying, fruitgrowing and all those things that go to make up intensified agriculture on the small farm will not prove profitable until easy access to market is to be had by electric or steam railroad, preferably the former. These are the things that will bring the desired population that we are told is so badly needed in Western Oregon. The naked truth is that we have reached the point of devel- WESTERN OREGON STILL WAITING their efforts to secure the railroad facilities which they lack, ATHLETIC RELATIONS and their friendly assistance will be duly appreciated.
