Hnrrlmmi's special train from Roseburg here. We met Messrs. Hnrrlman, Calvin and O'Brien individually nnd liad very inter- csting talks with them.

(Signed) E. MINGUS, J. E. OREN, WM. GRIMES. The above telegram received by The Times at noon tells concisely the result of the conference of the Coos Bay Committee with E. H. Harriman concerning the construction of a rail road to Coos Bay. The committee was even more successful than anti cipated by many and the result will be that Coos Bay will soon know whether or not E. H. Harriman will build a railroad to Coos Bay In the near future. Mr. Hantaan stated to Gov. Chamberlain recently that the Drain Coos Bay railroad would cost ?3, 000,000. Four per cent interest on $3,000,000 would mean a net in come of $120,000.

LHLD LI Southern Pacific to Resume Construction of Railroad In Oregon at Once. PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 4. Con struction work on the Lytle road, from Hlllsboro to Tillamook, will be resumed at once. Operations will bo continued steadily until the road Is completed, which it is believed will be accomplished by June, 1910. There will be no further delays In building this railroad. Three million dollarB will be Bpent in completing the project. Over $1,000,000 has been spent already on the road. Construction tools and machinery for driving tunnels and grading are on the ground and work ment are in close touch with contrac tors. So much in earnest is Mr. Lytle, president of the road, that work will bo continued all winter, so that the line may bo completed as soon as possible. Orders to resume operations on tho Tillamook road, which, when com pleted, will bo a feeder of tho Harri man system, are the result of tho re cent visit of Julius Kruttschnltt to the Tillamook district, 'and his con ference with Mr. Harriman at Pelican Bay. Tho line to Tillamook has a pro jected mileage of 86 miles. At tho Hlllsboro end of tho road, 18 miles Is In operation and 4i miles addi tional of grading has been done. Over a mile of track has been laid at tho Tillamook end and three miles and a half more has been graded. A tunnel 300 feet long has been half completed at the Tillamook end of tho road and a 1400-foot tunnel be yond Buxton on the Hlllsboro end has been 95 per cent finished. Construction of the road was start ed In October, 1905, and was kept up steadily until last November, when work was topped because of the fi nancial stringency. Tho project was orlgtnally that of Mr". Lytle, and the Harriman interests acquired It at a later date. Mr. Lytle, however, still Interested In tho road, continues Its president. NOTICE.
