Offlolnl Paper of Jackson County. TILE city oC Eugene is enjoying a wonderful period of railroad building. Half tho streets of iho oily arc torn up by gangs of moil busy laying double tracks of heavy steel rails, for elcetrie linos. Tho Welch electric svstoin which has been purohased by the Southern Pacific, in addition to double tracking tho present trolley line, is extending over other streets, and building a lino to Corvalhs. Tho Oregon Eleotrio, Hill property, is being extended from Salem through the Willamette valley, and coustruet injr a belt line around tho oity. It will eventually bo ox- i.vu ov 8OBS0RXPTX0H SATBS.

FIRE BLIGHT IN CALIFORNIA PEARS Tho California Fruit Distributor ihMie tho following market letter un der date of Hay '25: Cherries Fourteen cars, 32 by freight and two by express. Cnrlots of cherries arc now going from Yncn- villc, Suisiin and Newcastle. Ship ments aro running very largely to Tartarian:, with a few Royal Amies. Centennials nrc'nuning in a Miinll way nnd there are still a few Chap wans and Advance. Plums and Prunes There is no particular change to ho noted, ex cept that m many cases where the crop promised to be short it is now now evident that there is plenty, and in many of these instances thinning was necessary. Peaches The peach situation re mains tinchnnged nnd the prospects for a crop is very good. In some orchards where spraying lias been neglected thero is a considerable mildew appearing which will affect tho appearance of the fruit and ren der it unfit for Eastern shipment. Bartlett Pears There has been a considerable change in the pear out lodk during the past few dnys. In tho early sections the dreaded firej blight has made its appearance in a virulent form and the heavy cutting that is necessary to save the trees will materially affect the crop In those sections. In the Sacramento river district trees are reported in fine shaiK!, with little or no trouble of this kind. There has been n heavy drop, and while the crop may still bo reported to be first clnss, it is not as heavy as it promised to be two weeks ago.

It wilt then bo an in iliujtry that Oregon will have it rigid to be proud pf, tended south to Roseburir and thence to Medford. The Southern Paoifie is extending eastward to Klam ath Falls and Central Oregon and westward towards the Suislaw and Coos Bay. "What has caused this phenomenal activity? "What is there at Eugene to tempt transcontinental lines to fight for its traffic? The main resource, and has always been, is tim ber, but there aro vast tracts of timber adjacent to other cities, couallv accessible. The country about is a rich and fertile one, but docs not show, as yet any marked or system atic effoVt at intensive production. It is no richer than territory around other Oregon cities. Eugene is 120 miles from Portland and 210 miles from Mcdford. Its development cannot have any marked effect upon tills city, except perhaps to stimulate similar railroad development. Outside the timber business, its railroad business has not been as great as that of Medford. The cause of the railroad development does not exist in the traffic in sight, but in that which the railroad ex tensions will iu themselves create. Similar development will follow similar railroad building elsewhere, though for 20 years no railroad extensions have encouraged develop ment m Oregon and would not today were it not ior the Hill invasion. Eugene lies at the head of the Willamette valley To the cast is situated one of the two passes through the Cascades it is possible to extend a railroad into the Central Oregon country, the other pass lying 200 miles south, op posite Mcdford. To the west and south lie Coos Bay, the natural seaport for this section of country, as Crescent City is for Southern Oregon. Eugene is therefore the strategic point for railroad building and the creation of a city for the Willamette val ley. Not that other cities will not have branch railroads and enjov extensive growth as the adjacent countrv de- velopes, but that in geographical situation, Eugene has the advantage, just as Medrord has in southern Oregon, and Mcdford ?s development will be the next on the railroad program. Eugene furnishes an example of the effectiveness of the adage that the Lord helps those that help themselves. A couple of .veal's ago the live and progressive citizens organized the Lane County Asset Company, with the an nounced intention of constructing a railroad, to the coast. Fifteen or twenty citizens subscribed $1500 apiece to j)ay for surveys and rights of way. -They aroused both the'Hill and Harriman lines to action, and though the citizens are out their subscriptions, they have made Eugene a railroad center. The' started things, and the Hill invasion has done the rest. The Southern Pacific, awakened from its Rip Van Winkle sleep of 20 years, is feyerishly building in all directions to head off its rival. Eugene's example furnishes an object lesson to Med ford. Let the citizens all subscribe for a railroad to the Blue Ledge or to the coast and start things, and the big railroads will fall iu line quick enough. .
