"There may also lurk behind this new road a plan to block the Mills from projecting lln thf fic coast in that general direction, which might easily be done from Medford, the western terminus of the Pacific Eastern, which Hill recently bought and of which John V. Stevens is president. In addition to Vice-President and General Manager O'Brien, other incorporators are Harrlman officials. Curtis G.

Sutherland Is Mr. O'Brien's assistant and James G. Wilson handles the corporation branch of the Harrlman legal department in Portland." Thursday was one of the happy days for Grants Pass. The Portland evening papers, which arrived on the morning train, brought the above news that the Harriman line was to build a road from Grants Pass to Crescent City. It will be remembered that the Courier has on many occasions pointed out the fact that a railroad would be built out of this city to the sea, and when Mr.

O'Brien visited here the first week In April, the Courier was able to announce In advance what must follow such an investigation of the southern route made by Mr. O'Brien and Mr. Miller. In view of the fact that It came to the knowledge of the Courier office the representatives of the Harrlman system had been In communication with the Draper-Gunn people, who own a right of way from Grants Pass to Waldo, we had every reason to believe that the Harriman line to the sea would re sult from the Investigation of these officials. After mentioning the facts In a railroad article published April the Courier further said: "Other surveys bad been ninde In which the Harriman people were Interested, with view of determining without question, not only the best route to secure easy grades, but the greatest possible tonnage.

There was a virgin empire to open up and largo Intel ests to be developed. Many reports of engineers had been made and. to sa- the least, these astute managers had become doenlv Interested and wanted to make final examination of the country through which It was proposed to build a line to the ocean. "In furtherance of the plans and purposes of the company, General Manager O'Brien, of the Southern Pacific and A. B.

Miller, the general freight agent of the same company, arrived in Mr. O'Brien's special car and at once communicated with Secretary H. L. Andrews and the three gentlemen started in Olding's automobile for the Illinois valley that the railroad representatives might get a clear idea of the business In sight In that country of many rich resources. After a careful examination along the proposed line, the party pushed on for the redwood country, which Is the most extensive and valuable forest of this wood to be found on the Pacific coast.

After reaching that point they went on to Crescent City, where other matters connected with the enterprise demanded their attention. Should this final examination result In the commencement of railroad construction Grants Pass will this season become one of the busiest places In Southern Oregon. The railroad people and Mr. Andrews returned to this city Thursday night and the rnll-road men left Immediately for Portland. The Courier prefers to await the railroad Information rather than advance speculation regarding what may happen." Ice Civnm Parlor Cluinges Hands.

An old-time phllospher defined economy as "Doing without something you want when you want It. for fear you'll some day have to do without something you want when you don't want It." Most people consider money-saving as the only kind of economy nd the spending of It ns more or le an extrnvagance, but the only real extravagance Is the wasting of time, for TIME lost can never be replaced. "Time Is money;" It is the valuable commodity In the world and the man who waste; 'Ian' 10 save tiioni Is the most ex'i ivacant "ridthrlfr under the mm OurM cvm-v one. therefore, be equipped to nciuratelv compute and niens'tr' his time?
