New Shasta Route Plans.
It may not be generally known
t tot Mr. Harriman has already de-
idcd to continue the construction
f his new "Shasta Route" on
..ortu and northwest of Klamath
Tails to Natron, on the present
hue. This will require the con
'truclion of more than 200 miles of
-ailroad at a cost of not less than
, -.coo.ooo. This much is admit
ted by Mr. Kruttschnitt. The
road b now completed to Klamath
Tails, openiug up that basiu to set
tlement now that the Government
Las practically completed its irri
gation projects there. The-east
and west line will extend between
Natron and Ontario unless there
should be an unexpected change in
the plans. It can be stated posi
tively au announcement regarding
t tiny saon be expected from offi
v al sources.
It needs only a glance at the
ap of Oregon to see what these
-ailroad building projects would do
kor the state. That they are "on
he fire" and will be announced at
Jie earliest moment that business
ccad tlotia'vVillHvan'ant can Ixf'Stat
."d with pesitfvehess. The officials
if the Harriman lines here admit
s much, but insist that to declare
ills officially would be premature
nd might affect some of the plans
Inch are now being carried out.
The line up the Deschutes to
3cnd is uamed in the d'upatch as
ne of the new lines to be built by
'arriman. It will probably begin
aI The Dalles, on the O. R. & X.,
and follow the river pretty -jiearly
,0 the mountain range. The road
. ill then deflect eastward (o avoid
be higher altitudes and will join
ic new main line of the "Shasta
.oute' at some convenient point
.orth of Klamath Tails.
Hill Will Uulld Up Deschutes.
Speaking of the new -line Hill
bt. tiding, the Oregonktn.sidd:
Mr. Hill differs from Mr. Har-
'.man in one radical feature of
olicy. He is above all things a
ievcloper of new country by the
vOnstructicu of new lines. Mr.
Harriman takes an old, broken
Jown line, such as the Union Pa
cific was when he secured control,
1 builds it tip by extensive im
roveuieuls, so that it can carry a
maximum of traffic at a minimum
jost per ton. Hut lie builds new
nes reluctantly and slowly, ap
1 arently hoping that a combination
villi his rival will make the new
line unnecessary.
In accordance with his policy it
is to be presumed that in reaching
out to San Francisco Mr. Hill will
1 e opt to build up the Deschutes to
tup the irrigated country of Crook
and Klamath counties. Here lie
would find a considerable developed
traffic already awaiting him, and
this traffic would grow rapidly as

hiouht to on issue when Win.
Stephens of He ml bought n gasoline
I much, intending to run it on the
river a stretch of 30 or 35 utiles
above the falls. Ranchers through
whose laud the river flows objected
to the boat lie inn put on the river,
and home of them sttetclud wires
aeross the t renin.
In order to settle the mooted
question, Mr Stephens wrote to
Governor Chamberlain, who re
feired the matter to Attorney Gen
eral Crawford for an opinion. In
reply the attorney-general addressed
a letter to the governor, ntid in it
he said:
"Relative to yours of die aStti ultimo,
referring a letter of Mr. Win. Stephens
as 10 navivalion of Deschutes river, tier
mil tne to say that the navigability of
the stream is to a great extent n ques
tion of fact. However, in taking the
situation to t as rep-esentcd in Mr.
Stephen's letter, I' am of the opinion
that the river would be considered n
navigable stream between the points
tncntioneU.
"A to navirnbllitv bcint a emotion
of fact, t vvo.uM respectfully refer you to
bnavvv. is-Ttc;o iron worKs, lourcgon
371, which holds that 'where a stream is
naturally of n sufficient sine to float mill
logs, and it nine tic sutalL boats over
some portions ol it, the public have n
riKlit to its free ne for tlmt purpose.
Nor is it essential tltat such capacity con-
linuc inrouu me year, u is sn'iiricni
if its periods of liinh-water or navigable
capacity continue a sufficient length of
time to make it useful as a hiuhvvay.'
"Also in the case or Haines vs. Welch,
14 Oregon page 319, the court lwlds that
if a fresh water stream is capable of
scrviut an important ruMic use us a
channel of commerce, it should be con
sidered public. Whether it is so, de
pends upon its capacity, extent and im
portance.' "Alto, the case of Haines vs. Hall, 17
Oregon 165, seems to support the same
iloctruic, and in the case ot cutter vs.
Gallagher, 19 Orcgou 375, the court
holds: 'A stream or water-course, in
order to be navigable, must lie of .suffi
cient extent and capacity to enable the
community at large to utilize it iu the
navigation of boats and other water
craft thereon for the transportation ot
prcHiucts ai.ii merciiauiitse, or lor tue
purpose of floating logs nml timber from
forest to market.' Sec also case of Nor
ton vs. Iilucrt, 39 Oregon 389, and in
Hunter vs. Grand Konilc Lumber Com
pany, 39 Oregon 448, the court .held:
'The right of the public to float hgs on
a floatable stream is coucurrant with
that of the riparian owner, and tfaeh is
entitled to a reasonable cnjortlf. lit of
that right, and before the riparian owner
can recover damages for injnrie. to his
land inflicted by the logger lie must
show negligence.' and citing hi support
of their opinion 34 and 17 (recon, above
relcrreu to.

such strcums arc public higlivro)-, and
me nuuuc nave n ngui 10 navigate iiieui.
and cndi cac uivts,t, of course, ilepend to
a great extent vpou the fact of the navi
gability and otlu-r surrounding circum
stances. "You alc what remedy, if any. Sir.
Stephens hat lo prevent the stretching of
a wire across tne stream at a navigable
poiut, thus obstructing the navigation of
the stream. I would suggest that he
lias the same remedy that any person
has for obstructing a high-way, and can
have the -xirly arrested for obstructing
a lilli-way, or if he wishes to bring a
civil suit, a suit in equity to epjolu lit iu
from obstructing the high-way might lie,
but I am of the opinion he would have
to go into the lower court and lmve the
iarty restrained from obstructing the
nigh-way. However, he can refer that
matter to the district attorney for ex
amination. Very iespecUutly yours,
A. M. Oawi'oku,
Attorney General. '

A Store That Is Not Worth Advertising
A vriter with v gift for phrasing
once wrole! "If your store is not
worth advertising, advertise it for.
sale " His phrase runs trippingly,
but his logic halts.
To sell a Store that is "not worth
advertising" would be to defraud
the buyer so that the advice is
ethically ttnouud.
Of course there arc not many
stores thdt nrc not worth advertis
ing in this city, perhaps, none at
all. The fact is that no store ever
gets to be worth very much -beyond
the mere open market value
of stock and fixtures -until it lias
been adequately advertised. Until
then it lias cherted no influence as
au organization, equipped for use
ful service to the people. It has
simply been a place where certain
things wctc kept for sale.
After it has had the breath of
lile put into it by advertising it be
comes a store, in the militant sense
intent upon winning friends, up
on the problem of growth.
The dullest store in this city can
be rejuvcuated in a month until it
finds a place iu the procession -but
ONLY through advertising. If,
however, the store were not "worth
advertising," it would be more
commendable to close up entirely
than to try to sell it to somebody
else.
