THE weary wait of many decades for n rnllwny to Coos Uny linn boon rewarded. Tho ofllclnl an nouncement of the Southern Pnelllc Is assurance of ono and tho wlso ones toll us that mcniiH two. It Is to bo hoped their optimistic pro phecy will prove true. This nnnoun comout romns ns nn eronomle emancipation proclamation to the resources, Industries mid commerce of Coos Hay. Ah ono man put It: "Tho coining of a railway to Coos Day will bo ample reward for tho wnltlng. It will bo worth whllo to wntch tho development of this sec tion with tho nrrlval of modern transportation licllltlcs." Tho hopoH of tho people of thin ncctlon for n rnllwny hnvo boon up no't frequently but tho tlmo of renllz ntton Ih nt hnnd. Every resident of Coos liny and every rosldont of Coon county will rojolco In this realiza tion of long doferred hopes. Tho solo hnudlcap to the progress of Coos Hay has been removed. Tho wonderful resources of this section will bo sot freo for the fullest devel opment. Tho advance that Cons liny nnd Coob county have inado, oven when hnudlcnpped with Inclc of rail way facilities has been nmnzlng. Hut It Is small compared with what will bo achieved when the railway conies. T 13 nn Interesting coincidence that just nt this time when n water front railway franchise Is being considered by Coos Hay c ties, cx l'resldent Hnosevolt should bo considering tho same problem in refer- once to the Controller Hay affair. With his usual orlglnnllty nnd lor he dlcusses the Alaska question from a new point of view. Ho snys the evil wi ought did not consist In grabbing tho coal mines so much as grabbing the wnterftont nnd tints choking u free outlet from the gient Herlng river coal fields. Writing further ho snys: "IT IS AU SOLt'THLY ESSENTIAL. THAT TERMINAL FACILITIES HE ON EIIEE TEKKITOIIY " (That Is territory owned und controlled by tho public nnd for freo use by nil common carries Ed.) "THIS IS ES SENTIAL TO THE PROPER DEVELOPMENT OP OUR WATERWAYS WITHIN THE UNITED STATES." Coos Hny occupies tho snmo rolntlvo position to tho groat EaBtcrn Oregon nnd Idaho territory ns Controller Bay does to tho Bering river coal Holds. It Is more essential to tho dovelopmont of this hnrbor thnt Its wnterftont railway should bo kopt tinder city ownership nnd con trol. ' Roosovclt's article has such a closo bearing on the Coos Bny project that The Times quotes from tho article as follows: "Controller Bay, under actual conditions, offers tho only chnnco, or. nt any rate, very much tho host chance, for n freo outlet from the groat Bering River conl-riolds. it was tho Imporntlvo duty of tho government sorvlco to keep this outlet free nnd not to dispose of It to any individual or Individuals. Tho government should have held this land lit perpetuity, permitting Its tiso by any indi vidual or corporation only under conditions thnt would subsorvo tho general public Intorest. Unfortunately, tho Interior Department Inst October ollnilnntod from tho government reserve, not only tho H20 ucrw the elimination of which wns mistakenly recommended by the ngrlculturnl department, but 12,800 ncrcs. Having then declared his opinion on "tho root of tho mnttor," Mr. Roosovolt proceeds: "THE PUBLIC INTEREST DEMANDED THAT THIS LAND SHOULD HE KEPT UNDER PUBLIC CONTROL. AND THAT TO PREVENT MONOPOLY ITS USE SHOULD BE PERMITTED ONLY UNDER SUCH CONDITIONS AS THE PUBLIC NEED REQUIRED. REMEMBER ALWAYS THAT SUCH ACTION WOULD NOT HAVE HINDERED DEVELOPMENT; IT WOULD HAVE FAVOR ED DEVELOPMENT. FOR IT WOULD HAVE ENABLED ANY HONEST CORPORATION TO COME IN AND DO ITS PART IN DEVELOPING THE COUNTRY WITHOUT FEAR OF BEING CROWDED OUT BY SOME OTHER CORPORATION, which, tlirougit tinwlso govornment nctlon, might obtain a monopolistic right. IT IS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL THAT TERMINAL FACI LITIES SHALL BE ON FREE TERRITORY. THIS IS ESSENTIAL TO THE PROPER DEVELOPMENT OF OUR WATERWAYS WITHIN THE UNITED STATES, nnd It In essential to tho proper development or tho Alaska coal-nolds. Congress, unless It Is de relict In ItB duty, should proceed, without dolny, to pass some such law ns, whllo preserving absolutely tho government's control nnd Its power to gunrnnteo tho rights of tho pooplo, will offer a Hitlllclent premium to make It worth whllo for big moneyed con cerns to dovolop the coal-flolds." IIPER WITH TELEGRAPH Unknown Parties Deliberately Put Western Union Out of Business. That someone deliberately ground ed tho wire In several different places and crossed It with tho Bunker Hill phono lino Is declared by Man ager Schottcr of the Western Union to hnvo been tho cntiso of tho break In tho service yestordny. The nllcged offenso started tho night before Inst, tho wlro bolng put out of commission nt n qunrtor to eight nnd service wns not restored until Into laBt evening. Besides throwing n wlro over tho phone lino and then wrapping it nround tho tologrnph line, tho wlro was tied to a bnrb wlro fence showing It could not lntvc been accidentally thrown across. Besides this, the wlro was either cut or wrapped at threo or four other places within a fow miles in such n wny that it wns dlfllctilt to locate tho trouble Tho object of the wlro dospollers Is n mystery unless It wns that they wanted to cut off communication whllo the big stir wns on over tho railroad announcement. Manager Schetter is doing every thing possible to locate the offenders and they will bo taught a losson thnt they will not forgot In n hurry. NOTICE TO, EAGLES. Speclnl mooting of F. O. E.
