at largo expense, worked their way up through tortuous cunyons
from the north, south east and west, and halted at its boundaries.
Thoir reasons for so doing nave often boen stutod, and lack of space
forbids repetition here.
It rosulres only 400 miles to track to connect up these five stub
linos, which are a part of or connect these five stub lines, which
are a part of or connect with four great competing transcontinental
systems. I have demonstrated by complete surveys that, owing to
absence of difficult construction features, these lines can be built
nmpjy efficient for development and pioneering purposes over the
best tralllc-produclng routes for an average of f 15,000 per mile
It Is found that the Burns, Lakoviow and Klnmath Valla Hiatrirt
can thus be tied up to Portland through the connection at Bend
wiin me nui anu narrmian aystems, and recover the great trade
of those districts of which about 86 per cent now goes to distant
cities. , It Is estimated that three years' purchases of those districts
amount to the whole SH, 000, 000 the proposed system would cost.
The vast development during and after construction would In
crease the trade many-fold. The resources are scarcely touched.
Development is bound to stand Bttll or languish without better
transportation facilities.
The development I propose will make the operation of each of
tho Ave now unprofitable lines we seek to connect' up profitable,
and with their reasonable co-oporatton will enable the Independent
system to earn what it should to make a fair return upon its cost.
Operation of the new system independently will bo more econom
ical, and rates and regulations on such a home-built, home-owned
"pnoplo's road" will be more liberal than would be possible on the
old roads.
Local interests have respondod with great public spirit and
liberality to my suggestions that ndesuate transportation facilities
can only be obtained through their universal and aggressive
