RAILROAD
BUILDING
In OREGON
LINES PROTECTED IN
ALMOST EVERY
DIRECTION
Result of Development Work
Campaigns That Have Been
Carried on the Past Year

The railroads are coming at last,
both sign and fulfllment of the pre-.
dieted and promised new era of devel.
opmera in Oregon.
OF vast Importance to this state and
region is the construction of the north
bank railroad, and it must not and shall
not be stopped nor long delayed by
rival interests and inlmical spite work.
Yet the more the merrier,' and if
the Union Pacific system and it's allied
eastern lines can also find right Of way
down the north bank of the Columbia
10 Portland the people of this city
and the rest of the state certainly
have no objection-rather welcome
such an outcome.
The valley and in spots the gorge Of
the Columbia is the natural route for
most of the great railroad systems to
Heach tidewater in the Pacific north
west. Seattle and Tacoma will do an
increasing business, no doubt, bun the
bulk of it in few years will not be
lifted over the Cascade mountains in
Washington, but will flow down the
Columbia and through the fertile val
leys of western Washington. But Port.
land will be the great entrepot be-
cause of its ideal situation in the nat.
ural and only geographical focus Of
an immense productice and as yet not
one quanter developed region.
There will be railroads, moreover,
across central and southeastern Ore.
gon, into the Willamette valley, and
so to Portland, as well as those run
ming southerly into the great eastern
Oregon region from points on the Co
lumbia river.
The coast line is coming, too, to meet
the extension of the Southern Pacific
to Coos Bay, and in a very few years
there will be three routes at least IA
San Francisco and other California
points.
| The building of the Willamette val
| ley electric roads, now assured, is al
so tremendously significant of dcvel
opment. There will be business for all
it will grow with giant strides. and
this great valley will supply traffic fol-
network of railroads, from Eugene tC
Portland.
Wallowa county, with its vast nat
ural wealth, will soon be opened up, as
well as the Coos Bay region; the Til
lamook- n Nehalem region will not be fal
behind; Clatsop will vie with Crook
in developmant; the Rogue and Ump
qua valleys will double and treble II
population and production; klamath
Lake, Malheurand Harvey will increase
their alfalfa, their fruit, their fock'
and herds many fold; in the Wallo
walla valley there will be two, three
or four prosperous producers wher'
there is one now; Baker City, III
Grande. Salem and other towns Of
Oregon will grow and improve apace-
the new era of development has az
rived.

such risks being very high. No
blame is attached to anyone for
the accident, it being one Of those
unfortunate affairs which is liable
to visit the handiwork Of man,
from some unseen imperfection in
material or workmanship, brought
to light when the elements are at
war as they were on that memor.
able night.
The people Of Blackfoot are to
be congratulated on having among
them such men Of prompt action
as J.. H. Brady and his corps Of
assistants, and Mr.. johnson Of the
city water works, who succeeded in
getting the systems in operation
again so soon.

Short Circuit.

Thursday afternoon the primary
lighting circuit which feeds the
west part Of town, was crossed
with the lower voltage lighting
circuit running into the houses.
The trouble was not apperant al
any place but at the Red Barn,
although the same condition pre-.
vailed at several places. The
wire passing down through the
middle Of the barn fell to the
floor, and the floor being damp,
the electricity charged the floor.
Somebody threw snow on the
blaze at the end Of the wire and
the water from the melting snow
only caused the electricity to
spread farther. Had the wire
been raised, and q dry board
placed under il, the dangers Of
fire and the charging Of the floor
would have been greatly reduced,
because dry lumber is q poor con-
ductor and repels the currennt.
One of the horses being nervous
and excited from the electricity in
the wet floor, broke his halter and
fell back across the live wire. The
current passed through his body,
killing him and another horse
which he touched with his foot.
Lonis Felt, who was present,
took an Ak and cut the wires where
they entered the barn and shut off
the current. Had he tried to do
this with nippers or any steel in
strument which had no wood
handle it would likely have been
fatal to him. Had the ak handle
been wet he might have received
a severe shock.
Electricity is not so dangerous
as kerosene or gasoline, but peo-
pie using it should keep as well
informed as they can about con-
ductors and non-conductors, 80
that when things go wrong they
will not get hurt.
