by Ihe people themselves, will prove the backbone of the whole
thing.
Ordinarily people are asked to give franchises, give water
fronts, give rights of way, give subsidies, to the other fellow
and pay him big to take them for all time to come,
Over at Coos Bay they are giving something to themselves,
doing something for themselves, and when they get through
they will have the railroad instead of some promoter.
That spirit is going to take hold of the whole state the
spirit of self help.
No one can stop the people of Oregon when they are fully
aroused and determined to do something for themselves in

RAILROAD DEVELOPMENT BY THE PEOPLE OF OREGON.
;At the bottom of a page advertisement of Oregon in the
Saturday Evening Post for June 19 ,1909, appears the follow
ing very flattering statement!
"Oregon is the checker board upon which Harriman and Hill
are playing the game of modern railroad building, and 1909
will see greater prosperity here than in any other state in the
Union."
"The game of modern railroad building" Is to let the other
fellow build and then take him Into camp.
The above is important if true, and it Is all the more im
portant because it Is true 'in a sense,

checker board, but they are indirectly the cause of the greatest
period of railroad agitation the state has ever known.
Take some of the principal towns of the statenearly every
one of them and It has one or more railroads prospected or
building, , , , .
From just one day's exchanges we take the following state
ments in actual construction in Oregon and some of them by
Harriman. ., , . , , , .
The Klamath Falls Express tells of the great celebration just
held there In honor of the completion of the Harriman line from
the south, , , , ,
The Carver railroad is being extended by a force of men
to the south from Monroe and headed for the Alsea country.
The people of Eugene are making great exertions to raise
a stock subscription for a railroad to Sulslaw,
With a railroad building from that city up the McKenzie,
already to Springfield, on the Harriman line from Klamath Falls
to Natron, , ,
With the Siuslaw railroad built Eugene would become a rail
road center.
At Salem the Oregon Electric has a business increasing
faster than It can get passenger cars to handle,
The Salem, Dallas and Falls City line is being built as fast
as labor can put it down and will be running in sixty days.
The line up to Stayton will be an extension of that line and
will be taken up for construction in a short time,
Tho Oregon Electric will be extended to Albany within a year,
and that city already has ra'lroads extending in six directions.
The Harriman line is building from Portland to Tillamook.
Tho Oregon Contral railroad has been organized by New
Haven and Boston capitalists who propose to construct from
Union, Or,, to Walla Walla, a distance of eighty-eight miles,
That will bo a short cut between the 0, R, & N, and the
Northern Pacific,
David Eccles has decided to extend the Sumpter Valley rail
road from Austin to Prairie City, a distance of twenty-two m'les.
Moaly Brothers of Foster propose to build an electric rail
road from Cascadia to Lebanon,
They aro building a large sawmill and want the road to get
their timber out to market.
Portland papers publish the statement that the Harriman
lino up the Deschutes will be built and contracts will bo let
in thirty days,
A big forco of men are scraping the rust off two million dol
lars worth of steel bridge material at Drain and painting it
ready for use somewhere.
A large torce ot men are extondilig the Mt, Hood railroad
grado on toward Contral Oregon,
Harriman survoyors aro staking out a line from Eugene to
the north fork of the Coos river.
Survoyors are busy completing tho survey of the railroad
from Marshfiold to Roseburg, tho western section of tho Coos
Bay, Contral Orogon, Boiso and Butte railroad,
They report finding easy grades to Roseburg much easier
than they had ever expected.
The people of Roseburg are pursuing the right policy to get
a railroad to get In and ouild It themselves,
Everybody who can take a dollar of stock or certificate of
ownership Is doing it,
Citizens aro taKlng a dollar, five dollars, fifty dollars, one
hundred, fivo hundred, a thousand, five thousand whatever
they are able to do.
They aro giving right of way, subscribing labor, material,
lumber, timber, giving townsltes, sidings, anything to make
tho road eo bv their own means,
In true Oregon style, the people of Coos Bay are flying with

The" editor of the Advocate, organ of the Afro-Americans
of Portland, Mr, E ,D, Cannady, has an article entitled "Give
the Colored Man a Chance,"
We heartily agree with our esteemed contemporary of the
Advocate, but what the colored man needs Is a chance to be
himself, and not to be a white man.
The tendency of races when they intermingle under civiliza
tion is to exchange their vices and the colored man has many
virtues Which will make him happy and prosperous if cultivated,
In his own racial strength the Afro-American has a great
field, and it cannot be confined to menial service.
In music and oratory, In the mechanical trades and profes
sions, at carpentry and masonry, he excels,
In Portland a number of Afro-Americans have become promi
nent as business men, amassed wealth, and acqu'red influence.
H, F, Taylor, who came there in 1869, dealt-in real estate,
and sold his property and returned to South Carolina after he
lost his wife,
J, C, Logan, who was head waiter in the Hotel Portland for
twelve years, retired to take a position in the custom house,
He owns considerable property.
James Fullalove Is a barber on Washington street between
Second and Third, running five or six chairs, and employing
white barbers,
F, D, Thomas conducts a restaurant on the East Side and
nas oeen a successful Business man lor twenty years.
Editor Cannady should take courage in his fight for ;
