for development purpose!" and linvo
hud to pay expensive rates of interest
which in itself in a great handicap,
People have eomo into this ilNlnct
from nil parts of the United Slates
and recognizing our great and vel
tiahlo rcHources in vast commercial
quantities east their lot with us and
have huildcd their homes, nnlv to
find however that almost all of these
resources, as it now stands, cannot
ho tlevelipcd nt ti profit because of
the lack of cheap transportation.
Hundreds of thousands of tons of
five per cent copper ore have heen
Mocked out in tlio mines hut high
rates for transportation keep lint
mines closed. Other copper districts
with cheap rates of freight are oper
ating steadily with two percent cop
per ore.
Wheal brings the lowest price hero
and flour tlio highest, We lire com
pelled to pay tho highest freight
rales hero of any plncu in the United
States upon overriding wo liny.
A few years 00,0 tlio orelmidisis
planted some fiO.OUO acres of apple
and pear trees in tho lloguo river
Millev and these tices will all ho in
full hearing soon and will produce,
witli irrigation, approximately 18,
000,000 boxes of fruit per year or
about :i(),0l)0 ear loads all of which
must go to eastern and foreign mar
kets. Tdero are main titan two dundred
billion feet of standing timber in this
district yet not one real sawmill in
operation in tho entire district
again no cheap transportation.
llirminghnm, Alabama, has grown
into a great manufacturing city from
coal, iron and limestone, all of which
is of poor quality, wdyt Hocauso
Ilirmingdnm das more tlitau one rail
road, hence cheap transportation. It
costs more money to pa tde freight
on a ton of rails from Portland to
iiogue river vaney pouils tuan It (iocs
from ilirminghiini, Ala., to Portland,
Oregon.
Wo have millions of tons of roi.l
Mutable for blast furnace use in
unfiling iron, wo havu mountains 0f
(he highest grade limestone, and iron
without limit. Mnugnuisc, chrome
and red denistito in close prixlmity,
yet without cheap trauspirtntion it is
of no value. Tho rule of transporta
tion from Pom, South America, on
iron oro to San Francisco, is less than
one-half tho rale from Iloguo river
valley to San l-YniiciHeo.
It is nil very well to live in tde fin
st climate in Ide U. S. dut Hint, wont
pay (ho giocer nor tlio butcher' We
must have low freight rateK or our
ieiources will never lie developed, -ind
our only dope is to gel tho govern
ment (o construct a darbor at ('res

hlruct u railroad to that point.
A railroad from .Med ford via Ide

The big fruit steamers would take

about six millions of dollars per vear

NKW YORK, Aug. 21. -Passengers

here todli thai the Cymric 'had been
convoyed for JO hours nfter Jchving

same I'otnW'a'lhc ' Amino, winch
was sunk riiursday by a German tnib
miirinc. The Cymric carried 180
passengers, of whom 10" were in
I the steerage.
Ilefore the Cymric wits' out of the
I Mersey, sailors provisioned the lift
I boats and swung them outward. The
passengers were assembled and as
signed their respective places in the
boats so that there might be no con
fusion in emergency.
WJion clear of Liverpol harbor, tho
Cymric sighted a miuiII cruiser, for
merly t converted yacht, which
steamed silently along side, some
times approaching as close as 200
yards, till nearly sunset when the
second relay, a fast, vessel of the de
hlroycf lypewntf sighted ahead, ap
parently awaiting tho Cymric's ar
rival in her zone.
The cruiser dropped behind mil
the destroyer took her place. Thai
night all ligdts, except candles, were
extingnibhed and every port hole was
blanketed. The passeilgcrs slept wild
life belts at hand.
Four destroyers passed tho si Jp
from one to unotlier, each warship
apparently patrolling a certain zone
and acting as the liner's escort
through her patrol. The destroyers,
according to the Cymric passengers,
darted back and forth and nroiind
the ship, circling her frequently.
