DEVELOPING OREGON
TllK proposiHon sitbinitlfd by Kobort M. 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.

COMMUNICATION.
To tho Editer:
Dear Sir: In niiMVcr to your edi
torial allusion to the reeull petitions
and your subsequent reference to my
part in name, with. your kind per
mission I should like to offer some
explanation of my position with re
bpect to thin paving indebtedness.
If it were not for the lenient I
wat goinjr to buy neglectful attitude
of the city council in the matter of
enforcing payment when the first
signs of default were evident, I am
convinced that with comparatively
tew exceptions we would .ill he pay
ing the annual installment mi this
debt, or ut lea t the interest on sunn.
The psyclioloniciil moment for en
forcement linn, however, long since
passed. In the interim we have he
roine more and more coiiMiicd ol the
injustice and hardship inflicted by
tlnf method ol collecting uml meetiuc;

tion of the city charter h.is, more
over, convinced many competent law

I now wish to lay strews on the

I feel that I voice the sentiment ot
an unquestioned majority when I sa
that the demand for a vote on tl.i-.

denial by ti majority of tho council,
has occasioned 11 lively indignation,
which I am now convinced is more
general than these eouncilmen who
opposed this request appreciate.
1 should be very glad to think that
it is unnecessary to go uny further in
the mutter of this last alternative,
and I shall hope to hear that the
council have reconsidered their decis
ion and are willing to pcunit the voice
of the K'oplo to bo heard squarely
upon this measure, one way or tin

of tiny plan upon llto ballot which
will conflict with tin one so long un

These colonists havo already re

by tho slate department.
In connection with this feature oC
