' : -' The sneaker Bald hn had no critl iMsnl to offer of the Southern Pacific, but maintained tbat '"the salvation Of tho state rests with more trans portation facilities," and that tho "t'nlon Pacific and tho Southern Pa cific wore two fine roads, but that they only run around the edges, and fall to touch the undeveloped Inte rior. . Tho truck begins where th( railroad leaves off, and Is a factor In tho future progress of Oregon." The - Southern Pacific has con trlbuted more than any other factor 1d longevity In southern Orogon.
