shows "a gain of I577 ihm cent, the greatest gain made b

showed that Mod ford's gain of WY2 per cent in population
during the past 'decade was only exceeded by one cit
(Oklahoma Citv) in the entire nation.
While Albanv has made a very creditable growth, as
have nearly all other cities of the northwest, its develop

60 WALLACE WOODS.
PEW years ago the late K II. 1 Iarriman took an auto
trin across central Oregon. All that ho saw rere
jackrabbits and coyotes. 1
A vear or two lat,er John P. Stevens made the same
trip. Jle saw the possibilities of a great inland empire.
His prophet c imagination pictured the vast neglected
region dotted with populous communities, tens of thou
sands of farms under cultivation, countless resources un
der development. lie saw that the only magic needed to
fulfill the vision was a railroad and he started to build
oue. In a .brief year, with thti. co-operation of .Fames .!.
Hill, Ve.',cJianged '"the jnap and destiny or Oregon.
' "' This diffci-encc'lietween what Uarrjiman saw and what
iStcvens sawunarkeil tlui difference between iluijggp inch.
To the one, the gamble. of the stock markeT,lhe exploita
tion of the public- by means of manipulating railroads built
by other men, appealed. To the other, the gamble of de
veloping a state by means of creating a railroad system,
appealed. The one exploited, the other developed.
- Railroads, and the history of railroads, prove that thej
always pay through new countries. J n nearly all instances,
the stock of railroads represents no cashinvestment. Yet
the profits have been so tremendous that it has been nec
essary to frequently '-water the stock to hold down the per
centage of profit and even these inflated securities are,
in most instances, selling above par.
"Where Ilarriman saw only rabbits and coyotes, the
uncompleted railroad Stevens built, though in operation
onlv a few months, is alreadv doing a business of over
j $1400 a day. The unfinished isolated western end, the Pa
I cific & Eastern, though only finished as far as Butte Palls
i for a few weeks, is doing four times the business previous
Li v estimated as in sight.
r- .. . .. . ii t
Kailroads always create nusiness. Tiiey open tnc door
of oui natural resources and a golden stream ol revenue
gushes forth. There is no undeveloped section of Oregon
today wnere a ranroau win not pay nur, ior mai ihuillt,
no developed section that a competing railroad will not
return big dividends on watered stock.
Mr. Gray, the new manager of the J I ill lines in Oregon,
is quoted as saying that he knows nothing about Oregon
and is in doubt whether it will pay to build any more rail
roads here or not, and that he will have to look ov;r the
state when he gets time and decide that question.
Mr. Gray must have been misquoted. There is noth
ing more apparent than Oregon's need of railroads. To
stop the construction now means to stop the material
progress and development of the state. It means, more
over, an insufficient return on money already invested, for
unless the railroads under construction are finished as
planned, they will not be the .dividend producers they
would be otherwise.
The most important of the linos projected is that of the
Oregon Trunk, and its extension to a connection with the
Pacific & Eastern. Tt develops a virgin country; it taps
an immense timber district, a developed horticultural and
mining territory. The completed line will give the Hill
system a share of the fruit business of southern Oregon,
and it will give it a huge lumber traffic to the east.
The rapid development and settlement of timberlcss
central Oregon makes a market near at home for the lum
ber to be manufactured along the Pacific & Eastern. The
varied 'products of tho country, constantly increasing in
output as development proceeds, make an ever increasing
volume of traffic. JJntil the Oregon Trunk trains enter
Medford it will not have fulfilled its destiny.
Mr. Gray has not yet looked over this section. It is
hoped that he will soon, and when he does there is little
doubt that he will come to the conclusion that there is1 one
railroad now half built, that it will pay to complete.
Mr. Gray has a great opportunity and it is to be hoped
that he will take full advantage of it, and that the name
of Gray will rank alongside those of Jlill and Stevens as
developers of Oregon.
If tho man who causes two blades of grass to grow
whore one grow before deserves well of posterity, the man
who causes a million acres to bo cultivated where only tho
rabbit and eoote roamed has earned a niche of. honor in
Oregon's half of fame.
