COST OF RAILROAD.
Commission Gets Figures on
the G. & E. Line.

The Oregon Railroad Commits
sion has just completed an in
vestigation Of the original cost
and cost of reproduction of the
Corvallis & Eastern. Two sources
of information were resorted to
the records of the builders of
the road and the estimates of a
competent engineer who has
gone over the property carefully
and computed the cost of repro
ducing the road at the present
time.
The original records of the
construction of the Corvallis &
Eastern are not availab bic, but
the Commission took the testi-
mony of Wallis Nash, who dis
bursed all the money spent on
construction work. He testified
that he disbursed in round num-
bers $4,25O,O0O, but this includ-
ed s2o0, 900 spent in an effort to
hold a right Of way in Malheur
county, and large sums, not def
nitely stated, expended on Will
lamette River Steamboats, and
on an ocean-going tug at va
quina Bay The estimate of the
engineer as to cost of reproduc-
ing the road and equipment is
$3,912,322. It will be noticed
that the estimated cost of repro
duction is very close to the state
ment of original cost.
The statistics will be valuable
not only for the purpose of de-
termining actual value as the
basis of computation of reason
able rates, but also the actual
value as a basis for assessment
and taxation. The total mileage
of the Corvallis & Eastern is 142
miles, making an average cost
of about s27, $50 per mile.

and the treatment and

'ucation, and the treatment and
control of infectious diseases in
the public hospital. DR.. Wilson
believed that isolation should al
ways precede diagnosis IN the
hospital
Pneumonia and throattroubles
he had found to be easily com
municated to patients in wards
by the indiscriminate placing OF
patients affected with these
troubles in beds between patients
suffering from other troubles.
There was a fallacy that ty-
phoid was spread chiefly through
contamination by 'excreta. 81
know of no more dangerous me-
dium for the communication
and spread of typhoid than milk
and utensils"
Milk was declared to provide
all the conditions for the rapid
development OF typhoid bacllll,
and a case was cited where an
epidemic had ensued from a
milk bottle being taken out Of a
typhoid patients room and pass
ed on into use without being
sterilized. DR.. Wilson commend
ed cleanliness as the hest disin-
fectant, and advocated the segre-
cation and isolation of all con-
tagious and infectious diseases.
The discussion of the papers
brought to the front the ques-
ton of preventing infection. It
was admitted. that infection was
possible in hospitals, but it was
most improbable. Wherever
infection had been carried from
one ward to the other investiga-
ton had always revealed care
lessness. DR.. Wilson declared
that his investigations had been
rigid. Cases of carelessness
were few.

Project to- Make River
Open Waterway.
sANAToR BOURNE WILL AID
Statistics of Tonnage Have
Been Prepared to Be Pre-.
sented to War Department.

Senator Jonathan Bourne, Jr.,
was the guest of honor at an in
formal reception given Friday
evening at the Corvallis Com
mercial Club and the distin-
guished visitor was warmly well
coined by many of the most
prominent business men in the
city.
The object of the reception
was for the purpose of acquaint-
ing the senator with the press
ing need of permanent water
communication on the William
ette river by the people of the
entire valley and to have prompt
action taken to make it an open
waterway SO that the constantly
increasing traffic could be more
cheaply handled than at present.
E. E. Wilson submitted a bud
get of carefully prepared statis-
tics, showing the volume of busi-
ness now done on the river route
and DR.. James Withycombe pre-
sented an accurate report of the
actual tonnage that could be de-
pended upon should the river
be made easily navigable at all
seasons, while B. w., Johnson,
president OF the club, made a
brief address in favor of the
project and the benefit which
would result from its practical
completion.
Senator Bourne was deeply
impressed with the necessity of
providing the rapidly increasing
population of the valley with
adequate means of water trans
portation and promised to do
everything in his power to have
the matter favorably acted upon
by the national government.
The first step will be to secure
an order for the U. S. Engineer
ing department to survey that
portion of the river most need
ing attention and to prepare es-
Inmates of the cost of improve
ment and the amount required
to purchase the locks. This re-
port will then be sent in to the
War Department and, if favor
able, will be included in the next
appropriation bill for rivers and
harbors by Congress.
That the result may be all the
people here hope for is certainly
the sincere wish of every resi-
dent of the entire Willamette
valley.
