""S"C ,' ' T! THE COOS BAY TIMES, MARSHFIELD, OREGON, MONDAY,, DECEMBER 11, 1911 EVENING EDITION. IN. fV h HAPS SUMNER AS PROMOTER (Continued from pago 1.1 , the North Bank nnd tlio Hill system Jn Oregon, Una repeatedly declared thnt ho knows nothing of this rond. The Southern Pnclllc men themselves "don't believe thnt the Hills have any thing to do with it. "In the records of the Hnrrlmnn offices the Pnclllc Great Western Is set down as u "promoters' schemo". It Is placed on about the Bamo basis ns n score of other roads started within the last few years for the an nounced purpose of building to tho coast, none of which roadB over ma terialized. Whether these enterprises are great or small, tho Hnrrlmnn In terests are nlmoBt sure of learning exactly what the standing of each is. That tho identity of tho l'aclilc Great "Western has been traced far enough to satisfy tho Harrlman olllclnls thnt It Is not likely to develop Into a rival enterprise or that Its possibilities uro Insignificant Is almost cortnln. Tho activities of the "road" do not seem to worry the Southern Pacific n great deal. "Twohy Bros., who linvo tho con tract for constructing the first -'3 miles of the Southern Pacific's Eugene-Coos Bay road, have n force of men nt work and expect to rush their work to completion. Neither they nor Southern Pacific officials have tho least apprehension thnt tho maneu vers of the other rond will hinder them," Chrlstner's place through what Is known ns Powell's pass nnd it was consummated recently. Mr. Buoll lins had a deed for tho 30 acres In controversy for some tlmo. He nlso hns an assignment of tho mortgage on tho samo tract from Georgo O. Yornn. Tho lndlvldunl stockholders of the Asset compnny who held a con tract for tho sale of tho land as well ns tho officers of the comnnnv hnvp transferred tho contract to the South ern Pacific compnny and they hnvo n o'enr right-of-way now through tho pnss. It Is high land and tho work I of making n deep cut through tha , hill can bo prosecuted whether tho , weather Is wet or dry, ns tho soil , Is not sticky when wet. This clenrs i up every obstacle in tho way of the ; S. P. Co.'s lino clear through to the tunnel, a distance of 23 miles nnd work will bo prosecuted vigorously probably all winter." HOW OVKlt TRANSFER TALKS OP LINE Engineer limit of Sumner Linen Tells of Line to Coos liny Tho Eugene Register In Its story of tho awarding of tho contract for construction of the Sumner lino from Eugene to Coos Bny quotes Engineer Hunt ns follows: "Wo hnve worked ngalnst grent odds, made an uphill fight, and won out.
