, : . OPPORTUNITY IS HERE
a ; i
rvN both sides of the Cascades there is a realization
y that the completion of. the Natron cut-off is going
to put a new complexion on the future development 1
of the communities on the route. ' .
Just what the influence will be, nor how farreach
mg, nc i one is able to predict, but the building of this
road through virgin country, with great tonnage pro
ducing potentiality; and the linking of two rich sec
tions of the state, making many new trading" possibili
ties, has loosed a new and a great force.
Something is bound to happen. New people are
going to be attracted, new money is going to come in
perhaps pour in. -.-
"Just how fast or how far,, or in what direction,
the development will spread, time alone will show
-But one thing is certain. The greatest develop
ment will come to the communities that go out after it
.Klamath is in a position to reap great advantage
from the new line; but first there must be a diligent
ancTcareful sowing, a vigilant and constant watching,
e ..Other communities realize this. Below is an analy
sis from the Eugene Register. The situation pictured
and-the advice given is as applicable to Klamath as
to Eugene. The alert community is the community
that-will go farthest and garner most from the new
construction.; A waiting game now is certain to prove
a losing game. Here's the Register's sound size-up
of the situation: -
Kt0, nttlng. J. contracts Sax-completion of the Eugene- -r-
klaniath Falls cut-off transforms, into. reality what for nearly
two decays has been, only a dream. It ls-now onlv a question
- of a snort time until main line traffic will be crossing the Cas- ' '
, cades by this new and shorter route.
When this happens, there will be brought to completion
a considerable part of the railroad program that a few years
fgo was expected to result in building a city here. The coast
. range Is crossed nd the fertile country of southwestern Or
gon Is tapped by a railroad leading from Eugene. When trains
are running on the Eugene-Klamath Falls cut-off, central Ore
gon will also be put In close touch with Eugene. In addition,
, oP course, there are the existing north and south lines.
Look anywhere In the west where railroads thus center
and you are pretty sure to find a city of considerable import
ance. It takj back country to make towns grow Into cities,
" .an railroad concentrations such as . this add tremendously to "
the back country- of the cities where they occur. Thus they
make opportunities for growth. - , "
But here Is. one thing that must not be overlooked. If
Eugene sits contentedly back, secure In the belief that com
pletion of. this trans-Cascade railroad will bring growth and
development on a silver platter, with no effort involved on her
part, ture will be an exception here to the general rule that
excellent transportation facilities build cities. They do not.
Itr is the people who build cities, and transportation facilities
merely provide the opportunity for building. If Eugene is to
become an Interior, distributing point of importance it must be
.' largely by the efforts and faith of her own people.
GLAD WE'RE
. " (l'Yom Kansas City Times)
np HE United States is fairly unpopular in Europe as
matters stand, but probably has reason to congrat
ulate itself that it is not involved in the present rep
arations controversy. In that case probably it would
be even more unpopular that is to say, as unpopular
as Britain is iiv France and as France is in Britain.
. Both of these nations belong to the league of na
tions, organized to promote brotherhood. If the United
States was in the same family circle we can guess what
brotherly attention. would now be bestowed upon it.
Britain and France after long negotiations can
not agree on a policy toward Germany. Their efforts
have resulted in wrecking the entente and producing
a feeling between them as bad as existed at the end
of the last century. So much for the league of na
tions in its own household. The United States never
was a member of the European family. If it had gone
into the league it would have been as an outsider with
out understanding of the relations subsisting in that
family -
We now are getting some hints of what those re
lations are, and some hints too of what we would have
been letting ourselves in for if we had taken a seat in
the circle and attempted to settle its differences.

COFFEE GROUNDS START FOREST
FIRES, DECLARES RANGER BILL
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 31.
Coffee grounds are directly respon
sible for many forest fires, accord
ing to' a statement made here re
cently by "Ranger Bill" of the
United States forest service. "Ran
ger Bill" and his pony "Buck" have
covered much ground in ' racing
from camp to camp to put out fires
started by the careless city man
who but let "Ranger Bill" tell It
In his own words."
Vlt's plumb surprising how many
careless people there is . In this
world," said Ranger Bill as he pull
ed the saddle off his steaming horse
and turned him loose In the corral.
"And Ignorant, too, 'bout little
things, when they're In the woods.
You can believe It or not, but I'm
giving it to you straight that just
common, ordinary coffee grounds s
the cause of more tires In this na
tional forest than most anything
else. '
"You see it's this way," contln
ued the ranger, as he lit his old
briar and puffed away thoughtfully.
"Most people that live In the cltie3
think sre folks up here In the
mountains are well, kind of 'know
nothings.' I admit that 'when we
go down to town we do kind of
shy at the trolley cars, and some
of us don't know whether the mez
zanine floor Is upstairs or down,
but somehow we manage to get
around without getting lost, and
I've noticed that our money is still
at par.
"But you take Mr. City. Man and
put him up here In the 'tall uncut'

glad then to have a ranger tell him
where and how to go to camp and
fish and hunt. And we're more
than willing to do It, too, because
that's. a part of our job.
"Then comes the morning after.
