IS Tells Portland Reporter Port Commission Will Make Big Improvement. The following Interview with J. W. Bennett appears in the Portland Journal Saturday and will be inter esting reading on Coos Bay. If Mr. Bennett is correctly stated, it would appear that ho Is going to withdraw all opposition to the Port Commission and ojiu with them in Improving the harbor, which will be good news. The following Is the article from the Journal: "Coos county is still on the map of Oregon, this time with a- deep water carnival commencing August l."," said Judge J. W. Bennett of Marsh field, who Is in Portland on business. "Subscription lists are being circu laied on Coos Bay and a large sum is being subscribed (o make it the most attractive feature which Coos county has had for many years. Mayor Straw of Marshficld and Mayor Simp son of North Bend are the leading spirits' In tho movement. They are heartily endorsed by the people of that section. l "One of tho reasons for selecting August 15th is that the new bridge crossing South Inlet on Coos Bay will then be completed and the roads from Uoseburg will be in the best condition for travel, so that an automobile can travel from any portion of the State to the Coos Bay country and on across the new bridge to Cape Arago, the second most westerly point of the United States. Delegation to Assembly. "A delegation of twenty-five from Coos county at an expense to each of about $100 to attend the Republican assembly at Portland is one evidenco of the determination to continue to be a part and parcel of this State.

"The last session of Congress ap- nronriated $350,000 for the construc tion of a bar dredge, a portion of the sum to bo used, in the operation of the same, and In addition appropriat ed $50,000 for tho improvement of the Inner harbor. In addition to this, tho Port of Coos Bay will expend sev eral hundred thousand dollars more as soon as a project and plan of Im provement can be submitted to the voters of the port district for tneir sanction. This proposition will come up at the November election. Still Hope for Railroad. "Tho prospect for railroad com munication with the Bay seems to im prove steadily, although tho people there were disappointed with tno Southern Pacific in the spring for not having completed the railroad from Drain to the Bay. in the construction of which tho company has already expended about $2,000,000, in addi tion to $1,000,000 for tho purchase of the railroad now in operation from Marshfield to Myrtle Point, and tno valuablo coal mines at Beaver Hill. It is a certainty thnt this company will not permit this amount of money to be thrown away for want of the completion of the road. "The Coos Bay, Idaho & eastern Railroad Company is securing rights of way and terminal grounds, and has a small crew clearing brush on right of way already acquired. It is under stood that this work is being financed by some of tho largo railroad corpor ations. Anyway, the bills have ! been paid and the work has moved on steadily. This road goes bj way of Roseburg. "Coos county has expended a large amount of money in the Improvement of its roads, and Douglas county is also Imnrovlng the road from Rose- FJ W 0 burs to connect with the Improved road at the boundary of Coos.
