Junttinn Qlity Junction City is located in Lane County, fourteen miles north of the county seat, Eugene, and one hundred and ten miles south of Portland. It is the end of a freight dlvision on the main line of the Southern Pacific, and has daily twelve passenger trains, besides many freight trains. The company has built the largest storage oil tank in the valley at this point, and there are two large stock yards, pumping station, turn- table and many other railroad facilities, and lately there has been erected a large, steel water tank and stand pipe. Besides this there are good prospects for an electric railroad being built from Portland to Eugene and passing through junction City. The road has already been built as far as Salem and will be completed and in operation by the first of January, 1912. This will add greatly to our already efficient transportation facilities. The surrounding country is a very rich section. Grain of all varieties and fruit of all kinds are profitably raised. All kinds of stock, sheep and goats are marketed here, junction City being the largest shipper of live stock of any town in the valley outside of Portland. We have three large grain elevators, one flour mill, an excel- .sior factory, two lumber yards, three creameries, thus insuring the top price for our dairy products, two first-aclass hotels, be- sides numerous boarding houses, one feed store, one steam fruit dryer, a solid banking institution, and several general inercliam dise stores, two hardware stores, while the other trades and pro- fessions are well represented. Our educational and religious institutions are of the best, as there are two public schools and a full course high school. Our churches are four in number, namely, Methodist Episcopal, South Methodist, Christian and Dane Evangelical. We have a large number of fraternal orders and numerous beneficiary soc1eties. Our fire department is the best of any city of our size in the valley, having a steam fire engine, hooks and ladders and all other modern appliances. Our commercial club and womanis auxiliary each have a large membership of enterprising citizens, Who are doing and have already done much toward the physical and Civic improve- ment of our town and community, the Womanls club securing a park site from the railroad company Which is being artisti- cally arranged and will further enhance the beauty of our city. They are also holding a TiPunkin Showh each year. The first one Was held in September of last year and proved to be a great H.-.Ngs a - A e
