KiiKcue's location on the main line of tlo Southern 1'ucific, with five brum's lines merging m tins city, una thi fact that this is the southern tcr minus of the Oregon Electric are, held to ne distinctive advantages. Just wiint part the Natron cutoff will ulny m the city a growth Is dif ficult to estimate, when it is taken into consideration that it means the opening of Boinc of the best timber in the state in both western pine and nr. ., "Already new mills arc springing up as fust as, the ruilrond lays its rails, aays the survey, "and tliut tnis business will Inrgely come Into Ku gene, especially all that west of the mountains, is questioned by no one.' "Frutu the standpoint of a variety of facilities, the mills in the Kugene territory have no equal, for here you find large mills capuble of getting out anything from roiiKJi cutting up to the finest finished upper's mid also n multitude of small and medium sized plants working In smaller timber tint specialize on cutting sucli us ties, tim bers and bridgo plank. Over 100 of these mills are located within a radius of 30 miles of Kugene. . - "Through its advantageous location Kugene is destined to be(corae import ant as a rc-manufacturing-in-traniit poiDt.

"1 think everything is well staged now for a big industrial development in the 'suite oPOrcgon during the next four years, mid 1 huve every reason to hope tpd believe thnt Florence will sunre in this industrial activity. Ccr-' tuinly, the dredging of the river to a depth of VJ. feet at mean low tide, which will admit vessels drawing It) feet to enter the harbor and proceed us far up the river as Acme, . should HtiniulHto manufacturing and ship ping. ' ' The completion of the highway to the coast, enabling the residents of the valley to reach the beach In three or four hojirs should also stimulate the resort side of the town. ' "When wo look back over the last . seven or eight years, we can see much development, nnd the indications are that tills will seem small in compari son to what will take pluce within the next few years."

" , CASTLE Hoot Gibson in "Tho Kidln' Kid ' from I'owder Itivcr." I 1110II.IG Elinor Glyn's "His 1 Hour." O- , Lost Creek Store ' Is Found Looted The cabins and store nt tho Lost creek ruuch above Belknap springs . were robbed at about the sninq time the eight summer cottages on the McKemsie were looted, report Frank H. Taylor, sheriff, and Van Svarver tid, deputy, who made ft trip to the stene of the robberies yesterday. No auto truck tracks were found near the Hessee, Miner, and Keegan cottages, the officers discovered. It is1 believed the looted articles had been carried to the highway, The robbers apparently wished to outfit a home, as they took in tho cottages articles of the same kind, and only ono of each. The Lost creek store Is closed dur ing the winter, but a man at lllua River goes up once n week to see that the stock Is all right. Ixist time be found the store had been broken open and looted. Living up to her pouularity, Norma Talmadge proves that her laurels are well csrned in her new picture, "The Only Woman," now playing at the Rex theater. The picture showed yes terday for the first times, and left a decidedly satisfied feeling. . Norma is seen as a young woman who sacrifices herself at tho altar to buvo her father from disgrace. Sba vows that she hates her husband, and will never lose him, but the great shipwreck alters the situation, and some strong acting is displayed. Ku gene O'Brien pluys the part of the husband. Perhaps the greatest scene in the picturo, is tho shipwreck. It is ono of the most realistic storms ever film ed, for the simple reason that it wus a real shipwreck scene,' and not a mo tion picturo "fake." i At the Castle is the jovial man of the west, Hoot Gibson, In "Tho Kid'n' Kid from I'owder River." It is a west ern picture, as I lie name implies, and Is a film with punch. The Helllg will again show Elinor Glyn's "His Hour." ... . Oregon And O. A.
