The Guard urges a bold push to complete the Oregon Electric Railway to Eugene quickly. A delegation of business leaders should offer Lane county rights of way and terminal facilities to entice the railroad to shorten the route to Eugene, potentially delivering completion in about eighteen months. The plan promises growth in population, new factories, payrolls, and a railroad hub for the Willamette valley.
