STAYTON IS
EXPECTING
A RAILROAD

The rumors of a railroad for Stay
ton reported in last weeks Mail,
seem to be turning into something
more definite now than merely ru-
mors. A party Of surveyors have
been at work out Of Salem for a
number of days and are now at the
edge OF town preparing to continue
their way through Stayton.
The surveyors are in charge OF a
gentleman by the name of Mounts
and have made rapid progress with
their work since starting from Sa-
lem. The route as laid out by the
surveyors will be from Salem to West
Stayton and on up to Stayton, and
will not pass through Turner as re-
ported last week.
Mr. Mounts states positively that
the road will be constructed and that
possibly work may be commenced
inside of so days If it was possible
to work through the winter, he says
it could be easily constructed by next
spring, but owing to the impossible
ity of working through the winter
months, it will delay the construc-
tion work considerable but in all
probability Stayton will have good
railroad service in great deal less
than a year.
Mr.. Mounts has considerable repu-
tatlon as a railroad constructor, pro-
noting and putting through a road
recently in the south.
He will be financially interested in
the line he is preparing to build now,
and powerful interests and plenty OF
capital will be interested with him
in the project.
They have applied to the city for a
franchise through Stayton and have
arranged for practically all the
right of-way up to here. They ask
no cash bonus for building the road
and want simply the right-of-way
This they have had no difficulty in
securing, as every farmer realizes
than an electric road running
through his farm will enhance the
value considerable.
Stayton has had several railroad
propositions come up in the past
and they all failed to materialize, but
from all indications and the manner
in which these people are goinl
about the proposition, with as little
publicity as possible, 1t looks al
though Stayton had better chances o.
securing a railroad than 1t ever haC

Does Prohibition Really Prohibit?

The old, old question, 'Does pro-
hibition really prohibt?' again con-
front us. For the year ending June
80 the United States Brewers asso-
citation report the sale of 63,0O0,-
900 aggolns of beer, an increase of
6.21 per cent over the preceding year
and this with either absolute pro-
hibition or heavy restriction on
liquor in all but eight states of the
Union. The same report gives the
whiskey sales at s146,973,000, an in
crease of $S,OO0,OOO or SO per cent
over the preceding II months.
