railroad building. Half tho streets of iho oily arc torn
up by gangs of moil busy laying double tracks of heavy

Tho Welch electric svstoin which has been purohased
by the Southern Pacific, in addition to double tracking

FIRE BLIGHT IN

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.

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. .
