THE COOS BAY TIMES MARSHFIELD, OREGON, THURSDAY, MAY 6, 1909 EVENING EDITION A L TO ND H Wm. Grimes and L. J. Simpson Talk of Coos Bay. Railroad. I the way of its becoming a reality. However, it must not be understood i that we would keep Harriman lines j out of our country. On the con trary we would welcome them, too. i Want Line to Eugene. , " 'We hope also to soon have a line between Eugene and Coos Bay. The Eugene Chamber of Commerce has started an agitation to have such a railroad built and will call a meeting j some time soon for discussion of the' .plan. j m SEEK JOB ft! SEATTLE Fl i PORTLAND, Ore., May C. Tho Portland Journal says: "Fighting for adequate transportation facilities, without which they have labored for years, L. J. Simpson, of the Simpson Lumber Company, North Bend; J. II. Flanagan, vice-president of tho Flanagan-Bennett bank, Mnrshflold, and Colonel Wm. Grimes, of tho First Trust & Savings bank, aro in Portland today, subpoenaed as witnesses in the Harriman merger case now no trail. "While in Portland Colonel Grimes and Mr. Simpson will call upon i heads of commercial organizations and business men's associations in the hope of securing their aid in putting through the Coos Bay-Boise railroad. " 'For years we have been doing our utmost to have a railroad built into Coos Bay," declared Colonel Grimes, "and several times we thought we were successful. Now, however, we have decided not to wait for anyone to build a railroad into Coos Bay, but to build one out of our country. '" For this purpose we have in corporated the Coos Bay, Oregon & Idaho Railway Company, with capital stock of $25,000. In reality it is a holding company and we are now issuing certificates. Among the incorporators are Pat Hennessy of the Oregon Coal & Navigation Com pany, Coos Bay; J. C. Graves of the First National Bank, North Bend; W. C. Evans of the Western Oregon Wholesale Grocery Company, North Bend; Henry Sengstacken, one of the largest Individual real estate owners in the Coos Bay country, and my self. Start Survey at Once. " 'The survey for the line, which wo plan to extend from Coos Bay to Boise, Idaho, will be started some time next week and rushed through. Numbers of property owners have of fered us right of way free, and we are getting concessions from every source. " 'We want Portland peoplo to help in every possible way, for such a road will mean more to Portland than any line Mr. Harriman could build. It would divert all central and southern Oregon freight, much nf which now goes to San Francisco and California terminals to Portland. It Is not tho business into Coos Bay for which wo are looking; all that will go to Portland anyway; but we do desire to have the opportunity of sending our products out over tho state and country. " 'Every resident of tho Coos Bay country Is up and fighting for the now lino, and no obstacle stands In " 'All commercial bodies on the Bay have united and are working In perfect harmony to make the Bolse Coos Bay line possib'e. The organ 'zatinns at Marshfleld and North Bend have raised several thousand dollars to help the project. i " 'Cops Bay hp too many alltir ' 'it: attrpct'on to be parked over vt'hou thought by the railroad peo ple. We have 400 square miles of jcoal land. 75,000,000,000 feet of j lumber standing and rank third among the counties of the Pacific coast in the matter of dairy produc tion. But these are only a few of the resources of the county.' "Both Mr. Simpson and Colonel Grimes are elated over the work of the port commission which has under way the work of digging out the harbor. The bay is not only being deepened, but enlarged. Plans con template the dredging of the har bor, so that at practically every point a depth of 25 feet at extreme low water will be obtained. The dredge Orf"?on has been at work now about thrpe months and has accomplished p. great deal. More than $55,000 bns already been secured to carry on the work and large amounts are be- aiing nddpd to this sum at regular in tervals."

V Washington dispatch of recent day says that Representative Haw ey has been assured by the superin tendent of the Lifesaving Service that an estimate for a lifesaving sta tion at Port Orford would he sent 'o Congress next session. Part of he site has already been acquired and the balance will be purchased when the question of title is adjust ed.

Would you like to have a nice easy job at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacilic Exposition Never in the city of Seattle has , be sure you would. All right, what 'kind? Exposition guard? File your I application with Mr. Wappens eln. Yours is number 10.-1S2. Will you get a job? Well, really now, I can't promise you anything, for there will be 140 guards on the Fair Grounds, and those ten thousand four hun dred and eighty one applications must be considered first. No, I hard ly think you will get the job. Never in the city of Seattel has anyone been so swamped with appli cations for work as have the officials of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposi tion It seems that about half of the adult popu'ation of the state wants to work at the fair, and all of the youngsters. Apnllcations come in by everv mall, and the offices of the exposition are crowded with of fice seekers. They want all sorts of jobs, anything in fact that will en title them to a season pass. Money, in most cases, is no object. They want to work at the exposition, if they have to pay for the privilege. And some of the applicants take their failure to obtain work quite philosophically, and walk Into tho treasurer's office to buy a season tic ket, which can be had for $10 if bought before the opening day. Some of the applicants are not so easl'y disposed of, but keep coming day after day, demand vigorously a personal Interview with some over worked department chief, present letters from all sorts of people, en dorsements by political clubs, church societies or petty politicians, and only finally give up in disgust with a firm belief that they are the vcitims of lack of "pull," or that there is some "graft" connected with this ex position business.
