Straliorn to ilio biKsincss and I'iimm'hil inlorests of Portland lor file construction of u railroad system in contral Oregon to connect existing lines outlines a .plan whereby Portland capital can be of material benefit in developing the state. The proposal, briefly, is to construct 400 miles of rail road at an estimated cost of .15,000,000, building from Bend to Klamath Mills via Fort Rock and Silver Lake; from Silver Lake to Lakeview and Warner valley via Summer Lake and Paisley: from Bend to connection with O.-AV. J?. & N. line building west from Vale at Harney valley. The line to be financed by independent capital but to co-operate with existing railroads. The route of the proposed lines is considerably east of the located lines of the II ill and llarriinan railroads, which skirt the huge timber belt of the Cascades, which was dc pended upon to furnish the tonnage for railroads. As the railroads never were completed to the timber, thoy have never had the tonnage, and have had to depend upon that furnished by the slowly developing agricultural resources of an arid region, operating at an annual deficit. The proposed railroad system will develop an innnenso neglected territory. With transportation available, cap ital will rapidlv unlock the natural resources. H land prices are not inflated and the pioneer is given a working cnance, me country win oe iMr. Strahorn's plans are ry.stem should include a branch from the Klamath region to connect with Hill's Pacific & IL'astern at Butte Falls, thus providing the limber belt with an outlet to the east and rendering available the tonnage of the Rogue River valley. To become a real railroad system, however, the line should be extended to the proposed harbor at Oescent City, tapping the rich mining region of the Oregon-Cali fornia border and the redwood belt of the coast. These extensions would add from $3,000,000 to $-1,000,000 to the estimated cost. rf Portland capitalists, instead of spending $80,000,000 in skyscrapers in the past few years, had spent a small portion of it in development of the state by building rail roads, as Air. Strahorn now suggests, there would be plenty of people to fill these sk'vscrapers, for the way to develop romaim is to develop uregon. Portland is top-heavy. It is out of proporf iomin popu lation to its territory, lit must aid in developing that terri tory to secure lilarkots for its products. It has followed a hoggish policy, discriminating against the small cities, op posing their efforts to develop, refusing co-operation and denying capital. Portland has had no faith in Oregou, though plenty of faith in Portland, and as a result Port land is over-developed and Oregon under-devt loped. Money for legitimate development enterprises in any part of Oregon is seldom forthcoming from the metrop olis. Ran Francisco, Seattle, Spokane and eastern cities have furnished and are still furnishing the money that has created what development there is. Oregon has knocked in vain at Portland's door. Save for an occasional glad hand junket, to dispense hot air there has been no recog nition of the region that it draws sustenance from. Oregon receives news of the proposed railroad system with much skepticism. H remembers that Mr. Strahorn acted as a disguised agent for the llarriinan system in other instances and for many years has been in its em ploy. The proposed linen are llarriinan feeders and will in no way disturb the throttle grip upon the traffic of the stale now enjoyed, and in all probability eventually be come part of that system. Some such railroad aid may have been assured to have induced the tight financiers of the metropolis to indorse the project. At any rate, the Strahorn proposal is a good one for the development of the state. Whether or not a city that has not had enterprise enough to establish a steamer line to Alaska and which lets Puget Sound, despite its handi caps, get away with inland commerce, has awakened suf ficiently to belatedly realize its home opportunities, ro mains to be seen. All Oregon will watch with interest to see the Ethiop ian change his skin. OF VASSAR COLLEGE l'OrtlllKUUrSlK. N. Y , Oct. II.
