SATURDAY, AUGUST 21, 1909 PROGRESSIVE TRAVEL The man on hnrsebiich jogged iilong, nnon he hummed a Hills song, lie said: "I pity that gnloot who plods along the road on foot; I'd rather In (he grave repose than plod the highway wllh my toes." A stalely carriage then rolled by the fellow In It heaved a sigh. "Great Scott!" he cried, "I'd be a corpse before I'd travel on a horse. To ride upon an old white mure und get all covered with her hair well, that's the limit and I vow, I'd rather ride upon a cow!" With many a chug and roar and Jar there thun Teder past a motor cur; Its owner, riding thus In stylo, glanced at the carriage with a smile. "A relic of ugos dark! I'd minor ride In Noah's ark Just see those silly horses shy, and kick the driver In the eye They travel fifteen miles a day, and pant and sweat the whole blame way, and they are apt lo buck and pitch, and dump the outfit In a ditch. I cannot see how any chap will ride in such a blooming trap." An airship whizzed o'erhend afar, the driver watched the motor car, and to his passenger said he: "I'd ride upon the gallows tree lufore I'd leave this trusty ship, In such a car lo make a trip! The driver makeB some slight mistake and then the whole machine v 111 break, and there will be a sickening thud, a dust cloud and a shower of blood!" WALT MASON. Copyright, 1909, by George Matthews Adams. THE ONE IMPORTANT ENTERPRISE Eugene will become the railroad centre of Western Oregon if she is awake to the opportunities of the hour. The railroad construction era has dawned and in three years there will be many changes due to newly constructed transportation lines and the consequent development of the Oregon country. During this period of transformation, the town that is most advantage ously situated and hustles hardest for railroad facilities will "reap the greatest benefits. Eugene has the geographical loca tion and it is up to the people here to bestir themselves in order that no railroad which might be secured by proper effort shall be lost. The surest way to compel recognition ofihe city's claims is to build a railroad to the coast, giving a short haul to the ocean. This the people are able to do with their own means and the movement is now well under way and is daily assuming a more tangible shape. Already it has received direct notice from Mr. Hill, and is tending to draw the attention of other railroad mag nates. It is simply up to the people to keep hammering away ;at the project until it is successfully carried out. It has been definitely settled that $75,000 will build this proposed road from Eugene to Elmira, and that a similar sum will extend the line into the Lake Creek region. After that there will be no difficulty in securing the money, through bond sales, to complete the road to tho coast, and on to Coos Bay. A good part of tho money necessary to aotual construction work has already been pledged, and it is to be hoped that work of socuring additional funds will not be allowed to lag. The "Eugene Way" is accepted as meaning that our people go ahead and do things, and in this instance the thing to be done ia the most important that was ever presented to our people. ; OPPORTUNITY FOR AMBITION While tho call of the wheat fiold is heard In the land, many editorial writers are giving advice and making suggestions as to the best method to secure help that is ncoded by farmers, particularly those of the West. One writer aptly puts it this way: "The market for the unemployed is in the West; the un employed labor to supply this market is in the East. The wel fare of the nation will be subserved by bringing the two to gether." Another bit of comment is: "The point is raised in defense of those who are idle in the great cities that the West has only temporary employment to offor, so temporary in character that it would not pay the Eastern labor to undertake the expense nee essary in order to obtain it." That point is dullod by tho first stroke of loglo contained in the argument that all tho men who have come to Western farms to work have found it to their benofit and pleasure to remain and take thoir chances in the broad fiolds of opportunity. Some have roturncd East, but only on pleasure visits. They have all been drafted into the regular industrial army of the West. Tho willing worker in tho West docs not long remain idle. Without waiting for the government to act, Los Angeles is going ahead and spending $8,000,000 improving San Pedro har. bor. The same city is putting in a new water system at a cost of $23,000,000, and it is this'splrit of enterprise, this facility for taking the Initiative in big things, that has built up the great .Southern California city. The same spirit manifested in Eugene tvould insure thocarrying out of a comparatively .small million .nd a half dollar projoct, like the Eugene & Siuslaw railroad, en short order. There is no doubt but the raising of only $160,000 would guarantee tho building of tiffs road and such a small um should be subscribed in twenty-four hours. And it would be If we Oregonians wcrpossessod of tho spirit which has built up ciwes like hoa Angeies, acavvia a The lagging congress edition of the Oregon Timbcrman lt)s reached our desk, and we find it a number that compejj admira tion. It is replete with information valuablo to the mmbtftng industry and in point of illustration, make-up and printing is a "u ayv.ui. THE EUGENfi HAIL? CtJAED, SATURDAY, AUGUST 21, 1909 real work of art. The Timberaan is always a valuable journal, and is growing better with each succeeding issue. Some men are always behind tfme. Had this Virginia who steps into the limelight to say he is" the daddy of 32 children, 23 of them living, got busy a year or two ago he might have pulled down a fat government job. There's as great a contrast between aft oxteam and an auto'' mobile as there is between' the skin-'em-aS trust magnate and' the old-fashioned, straightforward, open and above-board busi ness man. This shortage of labor and of freight cars would cause more general rejoicing were it not for the fear that itt will be made the excuse to jack up prices a few more notches. He's an easy man to npset Who has already started ftf fret ting over what's going to happen in the next presidential campaign. There is one way in which the ugly Ballinger-Pinchot scrap MALHEUR BRANCH BUILDS THIS FALL Twenty-five Miles of Line Will Extend to Willow Creelc Valley at Once Ontario, Or. Aug. 21. The Mall- heur Valley railroad will bo extended from Vale to Brogan, the now town on lower Willow creek, a distance ot, 25 miles this fall. All arrangements; are complete and construction worJr will commence soon. The Malheur Valley railroad la the road between Ontario ama Vale 16 miles In length, and Is presumably the eastern link in the Harriman line across central Oregon to the main line at Kugeno. The Brogan exten sion will 'be built as a feeder to the central Oregon line, which, from In dications, will continue from Vale up tho Malheur river, through the Har ney to .Natron. It'lias been stated by those In posi tion to know that when tho Buhl ex tension Is built Ontario will he the western terminus. The establishing of Malheur Junction has settled the fast that Ontario Is lo lie thu princi pal town on th. Harriman system in liastern Oregon. Oregon Kicctric to Womlburn Woodbiirn, Or., Aug. 21. Frank H-obertson, of Portland, thy projector of the electric spur from the main line of the Oregon lOlectrlc to Wood- buru, a distance of three miles, has asked the city council for a franchise over Cleveland, Front and First strets. This tho council will In all likelihood grant after due dellberat tlnn.

The road will soon he extend ed eastwurd to tap tho great belt of timber ntul the acotts Mills coal fields and some think It will be built into Hastern Oregon.
