Renewal of railroad work, plana for new extensions by both the llarrlman nd Hill system and. the preparation for the Immense expenditure of money cn these projeeta aro factor consid ered of enormous Importance by the bualneaa Interests of the state. From the viewpoint of Portland business men. the turn of the railroad situation In Oregon Is taken to mean that most prosperous ttmea are attain at band and that the development and pro tress of Portland and the entire state arlU ba arrester than ever before. Engineer Pata Awaited. Definite plans for the construction of the line from Euene to Marshfleld. the proposed terminal, will be announced as soon as sufficient data from the Meld engineers are available.

O'Brien, the pro posal to conatrurt the Una had been jnder consideration for some tune but Before the plans were In shape to be mad public It was necessary to spend a Urge amount of money In inaklnir preliminary survey. In choosing the most feasible rout and In tapping the riihe.t district between Eugene and Dmi Bay. In addition to thla construc tion work, the Harrtman Interests have been spending Immenae sums of money In extensions and betterments In near ly all parts of the state and have plana under conalderatlon for other Im portant work which will be announced soon. It Is expected. (.real Benefit Predicted. "The construction of the Eujrene Marshfteld Una will mean great thlnsra for Portland.- aald Harvey Beckwtth. preatdent of the Portland Commercial Club, yesterday. "This Is easily the biggest announcement of the year. The road will not only open up a rich coun try and a big timber belt but It will be the maana of bringing to Portland Una trad which has been going to ban Franciaro. In time, a great trade lone will ba built up and will be added to Portland's business expansion. "There have been al least a doien paper road bollt to Coos Bay In yeare pa.t and there haa been a lot of talk, with nothing to show for the spasmodic announcement.. But. now. we know with certainty that the line Is to be built and that It will be ready for operation Inside of two years. The :ugene-Marahneld road will be another Important factor In the development of tYe.'tarn Oregon and of Portland. Impetus Already Kelt. Trospects for the Immediate con at ruction of the railroad from Eugene to Marshfleld. have already had a bene fiVtal Influence on all lines of business In the Coos Bay country, according to William Candlln. of Coqullle. who Is In Portland this week on a business visit. '"In real estate alone, sales amount ing to more than SJOO.ooo have been made within the last two months. Most of tha buyers were outside capitalists, many of them from Portland. Prices in real estate are steadily climbing all through the section that will be opened to the Interior when the new road la finished. -The little IS-nnle road from Myrtle Tolnt to Marshfleld gave tis after all no outlet for trade except by water. The assurance of rail connections with the Willamette Valley haa started a marked revival of activity In all lines of manufacturing, and sawmills are opening up or Increasing their output throughout the Cooa Bay district. In "orth Bend, there haa been a notice able Increase In the population from the Influx of people who have come to take advantage of the opening pros pects for employment. Rich Country Merced. It Is declared that millions of fret cf fine timber and many sectlona of rich farming lands will be tapped by the proposed road. Running west from Kngene. the line will follow the course cf the Sluslaw River to Florence or near that point, where It will extend due south to Marshfleld. This Immense stretch of country haa been retarded rn account of lack of proper trana portatlon facilities. With the ex ception of a few of the most fertile spots, the large territory has not been settled up It Is the opinion of thoe familiar with that part of the state that plana will be started Immediately for big development and that by the time tha road la completed there will be an Im mn. activity in both realty and timber operations. It la predicted that one of the greatest dajrylng districts in the state will be opened up through the building of this road. DOVGI.AS GAIN Eufcrw-Coos Bay I-lne to Vpbulld Western End of County. r.O?EBCRG. Or.. Aug. 1. (Special.) The announcement that the Southern Pacific Company will build a road Into Coos County by way of Sluslaw Instead of Drain occasioned little surprise In Rosebrg and Douglas County. While the Drain route would have thrown more traffic and earnings Into Poug laa County by reason of which Rose hurg would have profited largely on account of being the county aeat. yet the building of the line as proposed will benefit the entire county mater ially. Local capltat'st declare that In constructing the Eugene-Marshfleld road the entire western end of Douglas County, at present without railroad transportation, will be thrown open to development.' This, alone, they ay. will result In bringing thousands of dollars Into Roseburg. the metropolis of the county. Local capitalists admit that the con templated road means much for Eu gene and Coos Bay. but. nevertheless, they adhere to the a-eneral belief that another line will soon Join Roseburg and Marshfleld. Roseburg residents In touch with Francis J. Clark and hi associate declare that the Southern Peel no Company was forced into build ing the road from Eugene to the coast for the reason thev feared the Impend ing competition which would result In the construction of a road from Roae burr to Marshfleld.

Despite the fact that 2S0 men were thrown out of employment last week by the burning of the Booth Kelly mill, not one of these men la without work or Is unable to get I', according to a statement Issued by the authorities here today. The Booth Kelly Company, js taking rare of every man with a family, and places are made for them In the other mill or camps. In addition to this fact, Spring field today is short of labor. A bul letin board in front of an employment bureau asks for 15 men to work for the Oregon Power Company; 100 laborer are wanted bv the Southern Pacific Company at Natron, nine miles from here: SO men are wanted by the City of Springfield for street grading and street work: SO men are wanted by ewer contractors, who will start con struction next week on $12,000 worth of sea-era In this city, and a doxen men are asked for work on the construction of the new Springfield bank building, which began this morplng, by the ex cavation for the basement. Sprincfleld has several business blocks under course of construction, as well as a core of residence that are above the $1000 class. L. R. Fields, superintendent of the Southern Pacific Company, spent half a day In this city today on an In spection trip. in speaking about the big fire here Friday night, he eald: "I don't believe that the loss of the Booth-Kelly mill is going to hurt Sprlngtlleld In the least. It la a very good and wide-awake town. I found the business men here very optimistic, and they are going ahead with their enterprises as though nothing had hap pened. Springfield Is advantageously located, with large and rich farming and lumbering districts on three sides. "The Springfield people deserve a great deal of credit for the prosperous condition In which I found the city. I drove over the newly-macadamized streets. You're spending lota of money here.

Transcontinental Railroad ThougM Behind "Logging Road" Wllh Well Conrtructed Track. ASTORIA. Or.. Aug. 1. (Special.) That the Astoria Southern Railway la preparing, to extend its railroad to Astoria s well as to the Nehalem Val ley and thence to a connection with the I'nlted Rallwaye' line from Port land, now appears certain. This road, ostensibly built a a log ging line to tap the Western Cooper age Company Umber belt. Is really on of the best constructed roads In theWest. It Is built on a very low grade, with minimum curves, no ex pense having been spared to secure the best route possible. In its construc tion flrst-clas tie and heavy rails were used and the bridajes were built of steel. No one ever heard building a logging road so substantially and this and other circumstances have caused the belief that the company owning It I merely subsidiary to one of the big transcontinental systems, probably the Hill Interests. The road now extenda from a point on Young River near the mouth of the Klatskanlne for about eight miles toward the summit, and a Urge force of men Is now clearing the right of way for the extenalon to the Nehelm Valley. A few days go a three-months' op tion wa taken on a tract of 2100 feet of water frontage close to the mouth of the Sklpanon River on the west side of the bay. This option Is now ssld to have been taken In the inter est of the Astoria Southern. Tha same person have ecured option on water front property at the north end of the county bridge acros Young' Bay and also on what is known a the teierson farm on the west side of Youngs River. Immediately opposite what Is now the terminus of the road. Persons who ap pear to know, say the company plans to construct a bridge across Youngs River at the mouth of the Klatskanlne and to reach Astoria by crossing Youngs Bay at the county bridge, thua avoiding the construction of another bridge at that point, which the Cnited States engineers would probably object to. The line will then come around Smiths Point, connecting with the main line of the Spokane. Portland and Se attle, by which It can easily reach this city and the recently acquired frontage across the bay. LAND BOARD GRANTS GRACE ralaley Project Muat Make ShowHnjr by 1912. SALEM.
