Jones' Father Gives San Francisco View of Coos Bay's Future. That innny In San Francisco have their eyes on Coos Day nnd arc con fident of tho curly completion of ono or more lines of railway to Coos Day Is Indicated In a letter which E. K. Jones has just received from his father who holds a prominent public position there. Ho encloses n clip ping from tho San Francisco Chronicle- relntlvo to tho strugglo be tween tho II1I1 and Harrlman lines. In tho noto accompanying them, he says: "Tho enclosed clipping explains Itself. J do not caro what may bo tho temporary delays and fencing that sonio corporations mako now, thoy have got to got busy boforo 1015 and oven beforo that by tho tlmo tho canal Is finished to hold their own against wntcrway compe tition on this coast. With free tolls for American shipping through tho cnnnl, tho waterway commerce will swamp the railroads If they do not como in tlmo. To oxlst, they must prepnro for twedlng their own. Don't you worry. Thoso ronds will como to Coos Day nnd no mistake" Tho clipping from tho Chronicle Is ns follows: "Tho Southern Pacific Company has at laBt recognized tho efforts of Jnnies J. Hill to obtain nn entry In to California. Up In Oregon tho Pacific Groat Western, tho probablu namo of Jim IIIU'o California Transcontinental road, Ib bolng projected to connect Eugono with Coos Bay and tho Coos Bay torrltory.

Tho Portland, Eugcno nnd East ern, which Is building nn electric road from Monroe, nnd which will provide another line to Portland via Corvnlllu nnd tho Southern Pacific's 80-cnllcd west stdo line. Contracts Aro Let. An illustration of tho Southern Pa cific's work upon Its Coos Bay inva sion is found in tho fact that con tracts wero recently let for tho build ing of tho first 140 miles of tho Ore gon Eastern's cross-atato Hue from Valo to Eugone. This will glvo tho llnrrlmnn lino n direct outlet to tho cast from the Wlllnmotte Valley, and may bo used as tho main lino be tween Portlntid nnd the oast. Tho rond Is destined to connect tho Southern Pacific's new lino nt or nonr Crescent, a short dlstanco south of Eugene. And It is not unllkoly that n point north of Crescent nnd nenror Eugeno will bo solected as tho Western terminus for this road. It is calculated by railroad officials thnt It will take four yenrs to build tho lino from Vnlo, the eastern torm IniiH, to the western destination. Tho Hill road- tho .Pacific Great Wcatorn now lines projected In such n man nor as to compote moro vigorously with Hill, according to local railroad officials. Tho Oregon bnttle Is con sidered only tho preliminary to tho real competitive fight that, It is said, Is bound to ensuo whon Hill's official football is heard In this state."
