ANSWER IT HONESTLY.
Are the Statements of Salem Citizens
Not More Reliable Than Those
of Utter Strangers?


This is a vital question
1t is fraught with interest to Salem,
1t permits of only one answer.
1t cannot be eyadod or ignored.
A Salem citizen speaks here,
Speaks for the welfare Of Salem.
A citizens statement is reliable
An utter strangers is doubtful.
Home proof is the best proof.

Separate Oiilces Onened.

As soon as the Fourth street line is
electrified, therefore, It will cease to
be a part of the Southern Pacific sys-
TEN proper, but will be known as the
Portland, Eugene G Eastern. The cars
that have been ordered for use on that
line will be lettered thus.
Officers Of the Portland, Euegene &
Eastern have been opened on the
Fourth floor Of the Wells-Fargo build
ling. The engineering and operating
departments already are maintained
Separate from the Southern Pacific.
The traffic department Of the old
Portland, Eugene and Eastern like
wise Is under separate management,
but It has not been definitely deter
mined whether two separate traffic
departments will be maintained. It is
probable, though. that there will be
two.
General executive direction Of the
two systems will remain with william
sproule, president of the Southern Pa
cific, who has been in Portland and
vicinity for the last few years to ac-
quaint himself with the various de-
tails attending the electriflcation.
Development TO Continue.
Southern Pacific officials are pre-
pairing TO carry out their electric de-
yelopment as outline by q. H. Calvin,
general manager, through The Ore
gonlan several weeks ago. The Can
by-Molalla line and the Salem, Falls
City & Western, as well as the line be-
tween Salem and Fir, now under con-
struction, and the various other cleo
trio units acquired by the Southern
Pacific, will be incorporated with the
Portland, Eugene & Eastern and oper-
ated under that name. {

PACIFIC
GETS BUSY
TAKES OVER THE SALEM, FALLS
CITY & WESTERN, PUTS ELEC.
TRIO LINES UNDER SPECIAL
MANAGEMENT AND PREPARES
TO PUT NETWORK OF ROADS
THROUGH THE VALLEY.

THROUGH THE VALLEY.
Complete segregation of the South
crn Pacific company's electric railroad
lines in Oregon from its steam lines,
and construction at New Era Of new
bridge across the Willamette river
over which main line trains will be
routed, have been officially decided
upon
The organization of department of
electric lines has already been made
under the name of the Portland, Eu-
gene & Eastern system. Robert Stra-
horn has been made manager of the
electric lines. AS fast as other steam
roads now in operation become cleo
trified, they will be transferred to this
system
The new bridge to be built at New
Era, II miles south of Portland, will
be made a part of the main line from
California. Trains northbound will
cross over it. from the east side to the
west side, and then reverse the VIII
lamette river over the Oswego cutoff
bridge, entering Portland as now, via
the east side and over the steel bridge
Southbound trains will reverse this
routing. Considerable grades and
curves will then be eliminated.
Cars of the Canby-Molalla electric
line, now in course of construction
also will use the bridge.
Work In Prospect Vast.
d. w. Campbell will continue as
general superintendent Of the steam
roads, over which he now exercises
authority Mr. Strahorn will be vice
president and general manager of the
electric lines. The organization will
be similar to that maintained by the
Southern Pacific company in Los An
geles. There the Pacific Electric, un-
der the management of Paul Shoup,
is operated independently of the
Southern Pacific steam roads
Mr. Strahorn will have direct charge
of the details attending the electrifi-
cation of approximately 200 miles of
existing steam roads and the con-
struction Of probably 100 miles of adj
ditional electric road. As fast as these
lines are completed he will take over
their management The present in
tention is to keep him at the head of
the electric lines in Oregon which
will be known, collectively, as the
Portland Eugene & Eastern, but It is
probable that as soon as the present
development project is completed his
peculiar talents as a constructive ge-
MUS will require that he serve the
Hartman interests in like capacity
elsewhere.
The Portland, Eugene & Eastern, is
the name under which the roads oper-
ating in various Willamette vally
towns including Eugene, Salem, AL
bany Corvallis, Springfield and others
were known. They were under the di-
rection of A. Welch, who ostenslbly
conceived the electric project in the
valley and who recently turned the
property over to the Southern Pacific
With the Welch system as a nucleus,
the Southern Pacific company is has
tening construction of the line be-
tween Candy and Mololla and the cleo
trifcation OF the Fourth street and
Yamhill lines radiating out of Port.

OLD ENGLISH INNS REMAIN

A history of the coach roads out Of London would be q history Of England, and the stories of the inns alone would make a fat volume They are still charming inns, with the same oak rafters and oak wainscoting, the same stuffed trout and foxes in dusty glass cases They are as they were when they sold brandy in casks that had been thrown shorewards off Brighton and washed into the hands of waiting smuSglers; as they were when as day broke, masked gentleman on gray mare would rap gently with his whip on their green shutters And, then the inns themselves. what could be more charming than their names?
 Such names as the Angel Of the An nunciation, at Staines on the last change into Windsor. which dates back to the days of the monasteries when the innkeeper Of that tavern was lay brother. and on the last stage to Box Hill, the Robin Hood Inn which dates back to that man himself. and those other inns that celebrate tue Ettih Ol Ant dulltidi hAtieoAaCAA +' specific colors: The White Hart at Henfield on the Brighton Road, the Dun Horse of Manning's Heath, the White Horse of Dorking, the Bull at Woodbridge, the Bear at Esther. the Lion at Gullford, and at Wimbledon the Dog and Fox Great men have stopped at these inns. and while we change horses the landlord will point out the windows of the rooms in which they rested-the first man Of Europe on his way to Brighton, Lord Nelson on his way 10 join his ship at Portsmouth. and Sheridan.
