raised sufficient funds whereby the
Pacific & Eastern railroad will be
saved to that section, and will be the
means of not only keeping an i'm
mense amount OF business In Jack

and as a consequence the saw mills
and other business affairs from Med
ford to Butte Falls were closed
down, throwing a large number Of
men out of employment, and remov-
ing the opportunity OF other mill
projects from starting up in that ter
ritory,' A campaign to raise funds

was made in Medford and among the
Butte Falls lumber interests, and by
Wednesday noon the amount was

The fact that Oregon was among
the first states in which the organi-
