RAILROAD FOR COOS BAY, Is the Project o f the Oregon Idaho Development Congress. -------- - «•**- - - Brief and Breezy. Philadelphia is convinced that Salome is no lady. Thia is a great growing weather. Watch the treasury deficit. California is ready to start “ Tend-To-Your-Businesa” League. Competent jurymen at Nashville, Tenn., are scarcer than hen’s teeth. The Oregon-Idaho Development Congress which will be held in Boise Feb. 26-27 shows every sign of be ing the most successful convention ever held in this city. An excellent program has been made up and several of the most prominent men of Oregon and Idaho hare agreed to deliver addresses on subjects coming within the scope of tbe Congress While the Oregon-Idabo Con gress is aiming to develop both states in a general way, to encourage irrigation projects and to advance the commercial interest within the territory embraced, its main object is to build a railroad from Cooa Bay, Oregon, to some point in South western Idaho, probably Boise. The plan adopted by the Congress for tbe building of this road is to issue bonds on tbe credit of the people. Each county will issue bonds in its own name for its share of tbe road or else a railroad dis trict similar to the well known ir rigation districts of tbe west will be created and bonded for tbe building of the road passing through it. This is not only a simple but it is an absolutely sure way of building railroads. Such bonds will find ready market in any money center in the United States and it will not be a lien on the land of any county to exceed 50 cents or 75 cents per acre. Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, and Wisconsin built their first railroads in this way. These states were in the grasp of a single railroad cor poration just as Oregon and Idaho are in the grasp of Mr. Barriman. They found that bona fide promoters could not borrow money to build railroads in those states regardless o f how valuable the roads might be after having been constructed. Tbe credit of the proposed railroad was not the best and the railroad inter ests were always able to prevent the interested parties from borrow ing the necessary money to build the railroads which they proposed. The people of those states therefore decided to bond themselves; county bonds for the purpose of building railroads found a ready market all over the United States, backed by the credit of tho county they were a good investment for rich and poor and were readily sold, Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska were in a few years gridironed with railroads. It is iruo that all of these railroads were not paying investments but they made those states the three liest developed aod richest states in the Central West, and though un profitable for a few years today every mile o f road built in thoae states by tbe aid of the county credit is a good paying investment. development of our natural re- sources will be a panacea tor t people of Oregon and Idaho and thia ia the first feasible railroad scheme which has ever been pre sented to the people. With such legislation the people can laugh at Mr. Harriman, can cease patiently waiting for some good promoters to come here and exploit their own country; they can take matters in to their own hands, build their railroads, develop their own country and make Oregon and Idaho what they should be, tbe biggest, richest, and best states in the Northwest Captain Hobson’s prediction of a war with Japan is getting its second brea th. The census seems to be about tbe last slice of patronage pie the Con gressmen have left. With 11,200 lady stenographers, New York must have bard work to keep its mind strictly on business affairs.

But we are not told whether they are Datives or escaped from other states. When children are told what a smart man their father is, they look at their mother as if asking her if they are to believe it. J ust because his wife wanted him to eat meat after tbe cat bad sampled it, a New York man is suing for a divorce. Some people are so finicky. A Maine man has written 11,730 words on a single postal card. But certain eminent statesman we could name can write eloventy-seven thousand words on a single subject and then some. Fourteen Killed in Tornado. Littlo Rock, Ark., Feb 24.- Fourteen persons killed, scores of others injured, hundreds of head of livestock destroyed and one towD demolished is today’s record of a tornado which swept Arkansas.

The greatest damage occurred at Fisher, in Poinsett county, where eight per sons lost their lives and a number of houses razed. Six persons were killed in Woodruff county. Tor rential rains accompanied tbe tor nado, which is still raging. MILLIONS TO SPEND IN OREGON. h e b A A A » A AAA 999999799919991 • 1 __________ E. H.

It is the object of the Oregon- Idaho Congress to have passed such a law as will enable the people of Oregon and Idaho to accomplish the same result.

It will enable any sec tion which feels that it needs and can support a railroad to organize itself into a railroad district, issue its bonds and build the road; after the road is constructed it can be leased to the proper parties or it can be sold outright.
