THE MOVEMENT AT HAND.
(Oregonian.)

lOTbROu1dus
During the next five years new
foundations ought to be laid for devel-
opment of Oregon-greater develop
ment, even, than Oregon has yet
known.
It can come only through railway
extension. That is to say, railway
extension must lead the way. The
railways of Oregon thus far have been
developed only on line north and
south, through the western part of the
state, and on line east and west.
nearly, along its northern border.
They meet upon right angle at Port
land, near the northwestern corner.
1t is but the skeleton of system,
that we may hope and believe is now
to be filled in, by lines traversing the
great interior and outlying districts.
A railroad across Middle Oregon is
the first necessity. 1t might enter
Eastern Oregon from any point in the
Middle Willamette or Upper Will
lamette valley. From this tru nix
branch lines should be thrown out,
right and left, as the conditions might
require. The klamath Lake country
should be reached from the north and
from the south. Once a trunk line
passes the Cascade mountains, Mid
die and Eastern and Southern Oregon
will be within reach. A vast region,
now occupied by the keepers of iso
lated herds of cattle and sheep, will
gradually be transformed into dis
trict of agriculture, wheatgrowing,
alfalfa, fixed settlements and perman-
ent farms. 1t is an arid or semi-arid
region, that will require time for its
Development but man is finding out
how to get water wherever water is
obtainable, and experience shows that
there are now few stretches of hope
less desert.
A railway directly across Middle
Oregon. from the Willamette valley,
would intersect the Oregon Short Line
at or in the vicinity of Ontario. Ac-
commodation of the country would be
completed by laterals from it, or by
additional lines southwark from the
Columbia river, Of which already
there are three, awaiting extension.
A line into Coos Bay is one of the
very great needs. There is no reason
to doubt that it will soon be supplied
from point i'll the Umpqua valley.
1t is natural to expect all of these
The Athena press. [volume] (Athena, Umatilla County, Or.) 18??-1942, 1905-10-31
ATHENA, OCTOBER 81. 1905

1t has been suggested that Athena
crosswalks be constructed from rock
and concrete instead Of pine planks,
the material now used. These sug-
gestions have not met with any degree
of popularity, for the reason that
those having street improvement in
charge have never had experience
with concrete and rock in crosswalk
building, but doubtless are open to
conviction from the very fact that the
material now used is short lived,
costly and unsatisfactory. In towns
and smaller cities of the eastern and
middle states concrete and rock is the
principal material used in crosswalk
construction and gives general salts
faction, not only on residence streets,
but on business thoroughfares where
the heaviest traffic must be contend
ed with. There the process Of con-
struction is layer of crushed rock,
rigidly tamped in the bottom Of the
excavation. Following this, slabs Of
stone dressed to comparatively
smooth surface on the upper side is
laid III the usual mixture of crushed
rock and concrete. Allowed to dry
and season properly, the result is that
the surface stones are firmly encased
in bed Of cement so that it is i'm
possible to dislodge them except by
use of pick and crowbar. The edges of
the stone lying next to the approaches
of the walk are rounded off thus
avoiding all unnecessary jar that
otherwise would result from the
wheels Of heavily loaded vehicles. The
expense of wooden crosswalks is enor-
nous in the aggregate, and particular
ly SO where laid in soil that contains
alkali properties, for the reason that
the lumber soon rots and becomes
absolutely worthless, The following
from the Weston leader would indi-
cate that the expense of keeping up
wooden walks there is to be done
away with:
The rock cusher was iu operation
for couple of days this week. grind
ing up basalt for concrete crosswalks
on the Main street squares. A new
'toggle" procured for the machine
failed to work properly and the old
one was used.
Those having i'll charge the improve
ment of Athena streets would do we'll
to investigate Weston's experiment
with tho crosswalk problem, and in
event of elimination in success, we
should at once adopt the plan, and
relegate splinters, holes and useless
expense to the past.

from the combination known as the
Hartman roads. The vast territory
enveloped or inclosed already by the
main lines of this system should
naturally be threaded by Cross cut
lines or lateral feeders, belonging to
the same system.
This is an outline of the develop
ment that Oregon feels it has reason
to expect within the next few years.
Equal interest is felt in the Clear
water and Snake river country, where
railway work is expected soon to sup
ply every need of region long in
dispute between rival interests. Nor
will our northern and central coast
country be longer neglected; for we
believe the Nehalem and Tillamook
road will soon make beginning there
Ito be followed perhaps by railroad
parallel to the coast along the whole
Pacific shore line of Oregon and Cali
fornia.
In these modern times the railroad
must be leader in development. 1t
cannot wait until region is fully
occupied; for no region can be occu-
pied at all unless assured of speedy
railway connections. And experience
has shown that railway anywhere
will soon make traffic. What region
ever seemed more helpless for rail-
road than that through the Rocky
mountains now occupied by the Den-
yer & Rio Grande? And where is a
region less inviting, more arid, than
that now traversed by the new rail
road from Salt Lake City to Los Ange-
les? The railroad makes country,
and the country makes a railroad.
