FOR RAILROAD
N I5WS of the vaapnt rcorgniifantion of IhOsJlnrriumii
T'lili'n-iflo tt lmilitd Uirli lil!irlW till tilmiir lii- limiu
Transfor ojf liondqnavtoi-s from Wall stivot to tlio const,
and tho apx'ointniont of wostorn nion as oxooutivos wit It
full powor to act, has been construed as heralding the
inauguratioji of a new era wherein the needs of the trib
utary country would bo given the consideration needed.
Tho passing of the old regime wherein all JJarrimah
roads were operated under one executive and the various
managers in reality given the authorities of office boys
to carry out tlio policy of squeezing all the traffic would
bear to help out stock market manipulations is probably
due to fear of government prosecution for violation of the
Sherman law. The mention of the llarrimau merger as
illegal by the attorney general has at any rate been fol
lowed by a hasty disintegration and reorganisation, which
wc of interior Oregon pra.v, will result beneficially to the
territory affected, and to this end stand ready to lend
hearty cooperation.
The prosperity of southern and western Oregon is so
dependent upon the course pursued by the Southern Pa
cific that every act of the traffic, chiefs is studied with'
interest. Oonsenuontlv tho official utterances of .ludmi
Robert S. Lovett, chairman of the board of directors, dur
ing his recent Oregon trip command attention.
Among other things. Judge Lovett makes the old and
oft repeated promise of an east and west line across cen
tral Oregon. This. time, however, construction is niadC
dependent upon the attitude of land owners. As Mr.
Lovett says: "That is, whether thev are willimr to nut
their land on the market at prices that will attract settlers
or whether they will prepare to discount railroad facili
ties in advance and withhold their land from settlement,
demanding prices that will prevent the development
necessary to justify a railroad."
This is excellent advice, coining from the head of the
Southern Pacific railroad, itself the largest land owner
in Oregon, which has for years withheld its land from
settlement and so prevented the development of the state
to a lar greater extent than any other land owner pos
sibly could. Oregon land valued at from $50,000,000 to
fcs75,000,000,' containing vast mineral, timber and agricul
tural resources, including a big part of Jackson-county,
is held by the railroad for "the benefit of future genera
tions," as the late E. II. Harriman once said. It would
have paid the railroad yeai-s ago, as.it would puy it today,
to give this land free to actual settlers aud developers on
account of the increased traffic that would result but it
has been withheld from the people until public resentment
was so aroused that the aid of the courts has been in
voked to restore it to the nation.
, It; is, respectfully suggested that Mr. Lovett follow his
own advice and place the company's holdings on the
market at prices that will attract settlers, so as to actually
cooperate with the people in developing the state.
"The development of the railroads and development
of tho country by the railroads," r. Lovett continued,
"rests with the people.
"If the railroads are treated justly, fairly, they can
develop. If they are treated unjustly and unfairly and
arc hounded by unfair laws and unequal advantages un
der the law, then they can't develop."
Air. Lovett can rest assured that the railroads will be
treated justly and fairly bv the people of Oregon. Thev
alwrys have been. For twenty years they controlled pol
itics, jiau uumis meir own way without protest, vet tnev
'built scarcely a mile of railroad to develop the state in

according to the cloth."
As a good beginning for
for popular reciprocity, it is
the company make a Mediord
or other interior dollar buy as much freight transportation
as a Portland dollar can buj
It is also suggested that Medford and other cities be
enabled to ship mercliandise
reasonable rate and not have to pay for having it hauled
first through the towns to Portland and then back again.
As a further evidence of the dawn of tho now day, it
is suggested that tho mythical California-Oregon bound
ary line be discarded as a basis for rate making, and that
shippers on the Oregon side be given the same -rate for
the same haul as on the (Jahtornia side.
To clinch the newly established friendship for the
people, it is urged that rates be made interior points,
other than fruit rates, which will enable the creation and
establishment of industries, thus utilizing raw materials
and developing the country in other than horticultural
lines.
Heal reciprocity, establishing mutual regard and
creating prosperity for both railroad and people would
follow systematic efforts to develop the state's natural
resources. Tho establishment of a bureau to study the
resources of each locality, bring them to the attention of
manufacturers and investors, and secure the location
thereon of factories and the establishment of rates that
would permit these developers to do business at a profit,
would be a ten str ko for tho railroad.
All emigrants do not want to raise apples. Work must
be furnished in other lines. Tt is up to the railroad to
