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!"

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

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.
