NEW CITY RALL
IN MARSHFIELD
J. W. Bennett and Mayor Straw
' Point Out Necessity
Of It.
Tho question of erecting a new
cUy hall in Marshfleld which has been
talked of more or less for the past
couple of years promises to be
brought up for definite action in the
near tuture; J. W. Dennett in a let
ter to Mayor Straw the other day
called the city executive's attention
to the matter. Concerning his view
of the matter, Mr. Bennett writes as
follows:
'Kindly permit me to call our at-
Itention to a matter which suggestsl
Itself more forcibly to my mind re
cently than formerly and that is
that the population of Marshfleld and
the valuation of the propetty therein
and the amount of the City business

Coos Bay, Oregon and Idaho
Railway Becomes the Coos
Bay and Oregon Central Rial
Road Company.
The survey of tho Coos Day, Ore
gon and Idaho Railway has been
transferred to another company, ac
cording to the Portland Telegram.
Beyond the transfer of the survey to
a newly incorpora ed company, little
new is told In a lengthy article con
cerning the project in that paper
which tells of Chief Engineer Haines'
previous connection with and the sub-
misses that he may represent the
Northwestern or some other big sys
tem. Pres. Francis H. Clarke of the
old company is now en route to Port
land but before leaving Mr. Clarke
did not mention the transfer or Inti
mate that any change would be made
that would affect his connection with
the road. Concerning the matter,
The Telegram of Saturday says in
part:
"Articles of incorporation were fil
ed at Aalem today, for the Coos
Bay & Oregon Central Railroad Com
pany, capital $4,000,000. The pur
pose of the organization, as set forth
in the articles, is to build a rail line
between Coos Bay and Dolse, Idaho.
C. F. Hendrlckson, Sam Connell and
J. H. Cole, all of Portland, appear as
the Incorporators.
"Further than this, the record
shows nothing and the participants in
the new enterprise say little. But
it has been learned that an actual
survey has been made from Coos Day
to Roseburg, and It Is also rumored
on the basis of good authority that
preliminary surveys are being press
ed up Into tho Cascndo mmmtnln
range. It is also known definitely
that Engineer F. A. Haines Is In
charge of the preliminary work, and
that this new company has taken
over the rights and interests posses
sed by the Coos Day, Oregon and Ida
ho Railway, which has been busy for
tho past year In thereach between
Roseburg nnd Marshfleld.
"None of the incorporators for the
new project will discuss tho possible
backing. They cannot build the line,
it Is conceded, and they have no local
connections capable of doing anything
effective, but it is explained that a
representative of the company will go
East at once and make such arrange
ments as are necessary to have active
construction work to commence this
summer."

Mayor Straw's View.
Mayor E. E. Straw replied to Mr.
Dennett as follows:
"Your letter of April 14th duly- re
ceived. Replying to same will say
that since the matter therein con
tained is of a public nature I shall
ask your permission to have the let
ter published In full. My object in
doing this is to bring the matter be
fore tho tax payers and citizens of
Marshfleld.
"The proposition of building a city
hall has been more or less discus
sed by the members of the council re
cently, but so far nothing definite
has been decided upon. There is ab
solutely no question in my mind as
to the advisability of Immedltely
commencing to make the improve
ment you have so timely suggested
nd I feel that if all of the tax pay
ers in Marshfleld were familiar with
the situation they would petition the
council to call a special election for
the purpose of voting an Issue of
bonds to Eecuro the necessary funds.
"Assuring you that I appreciate
tho interest you have taken in this
matter, and trusting that you will
uso your Influence to further this
plan, I beg to remain,
Yours truly,
E. E. STRAW."

It was reported here today that
Chas. P. Doe of the North Pacific
Steamship company Is figuring on
taking over the warehouse leases of
tho Alliance people in Marshfleld
with a view to putting on regular
steamship service between here and

be confirmed, Roger Sherman, tho lo
cal representative of the Alliance peo
ple, saying It was all news to him.
However, the Newport, one of Doe's
boats, will make her first trip hero
from Portland April 25. It was orig
inally announced that tho Newport
would ply direct from Coqulllo to
Portland but this plan appears to
have been- changed. This together
with the report that the Alliance Is to
be chartered by Doe to take the Santa

credence In the report of Doe's tak
