There will be a nm.sH meeting ut (he .MedToi'd theater at 8 o'clock tonight, to diaciiHH
Ihe poH.sibilitie.H and probabilities and ways and means of constructing a railroad to the
IJlue hedge mine. -v,
Assurances have been received from the mine owners that operation ppon a big
scale will commence upon the assurance of a railroad, thus giving employment to a
large number of men, giving Jackson county its largest payroll and adding a perma
nent source of wealth to the county. ' " ,, )NJiQ
i I lie estimated I nut crop ol the Kogue river valley tins season is 1000 cars. At very
j conservative figures this will bring the growers $1,000,000. The Blue' Ledge guaran
j tees a minimum of 2000 tons of concentrates a month, worth $2,000,000 per year and up.
I It will be seen that this one inine means twice as much to the county as the present
J bearing acreage of orchards. As the orchards will yearly increase their output, so will
' the mine and other mines will follow. '
A railroad to the Blue Ledge is the all-important thing before the people of Jack
son county today. It means the continued growth and progress of this entire section.
It is the surest antidote for hard times.
By all means let us build this railroad if we have to do it ourselves. Let us "smite
the rock of our natural resources that a stream of revenue may gush forth."
