Editor Times: "VICE PRESIDENT OMIRIEN SAYS LINE WILL 1JE llUIIr RAPIDLY "At n banquet liclil at the Chandler Hotel Friday Evening, Sept. U'Jml, in Honor of J. I. O'Brien and Party, Where 110 Representa tive Cltlons of MarshllcM Chamber of Commerco Were Scaled "Bcforo this largo and most ro prcscntatlvo gathering of Coos Bay business men, Mr. J. P. O'Urlon, vlco president nnd general mnnngcr of tho Sotithorn Paclllc Railroad company xit Oregon, reiterated tho announce ment that tho proposed lino from Eu geno to Coos Bay will bo started this fall and will bo rushed to completion ns rapidly as economical business Judgment will porralt." "This was a most satisfactory an nouncement to nil present. Mr. O'Brien did not ask us to sanction tho building of a b rid go across tho lowor Bay nor did ho nsk for tho con trol of our most valuablo assot, tho WATER FRONT FRANCHISE. "Wo havo already glvon tho frnn chlso to n combination of men most honornblo and most Interested In Coos Bny's dovolopmont for tho solo purposo of protection to any and all railroad companies that might in tho futuro wish to enter tho Coos Bay torrltory on oqual nuil oqultnblo tortus. "Today wo aro confronted with n now proposition through Mr. 0. J. Mlllls, assistant to Presldont Sproulo of Snn Francisco, asking tho pooplo of Coos Buy to sign a petition to tho War Department nt Washington, D. C, sanctioning tho bridging of Coos Bay nnd nlso nuking that wo glvo them a frnnchlso on Iho Wntorfront that wo havo formally given to the Coos Bay Tormlnnl Railway Co., that thoy will protoct us ngnlnst any ono railroad company getting control, thereby shutting out other railroad companies from entering and operat ing on Coos liny without paying heavy trJbulo to their competitors. "LET US CONSIDER: First tho OREATER CITY of Coos Bay will bo hullt only from tho fnct that Coos Bay Is tho tormlnnl of sonio Trans continental railroad company that will glvo Cook Bny TERMINAL RATES that wo will ho In n posi tion to compato with Portland or Snn Francisco In tho mattor of freight rates to and from tho Enstorn points. Not until wo nro offered Terminal Rates can wo expect to FORGE AHEAD with our neighboring port cities. Wo can novor becomo a dis tributing point of riny great Impor tance until wo aro grantod terminal rates. Wo must, as we do now, do- pond upon Portland nnd Snn Fran cisco for our supplies of provisions, produce factory supplies, etc. Glvo Coos Bny Tormlnal rntoslhnt wo can compete with Portlnnd nnd San Frnn. cIbco nnd dlstrlbuto our car lot ship, ments to tho Interior of Oregon, then our motto "WATCH COOS BAY GROW" nnd with tho Improvement of our HARBOR so thnt we can enter to tho Pannnm Canal's cheap wator rates and dlstrlbuto to tho Interior. "Will Mr. 0. J. Mlllls glvo to tho pooplo of Coos Bay a GUARANTEE of tormlnnl rntos over tho proposed Coos uay-Kugono llnor It Is not con slstent to expect thnt tho Southern Paclllc company will, until nnothor railroad company comes Into Coos Bny, then tho Southern Pnclflo will bo forced to glvo tormlnnl rates In competition with others, hut If thor can koop othor railroad companies out of Coos Bny, by control of our wator front It will ho to thoir liking, as thoy havo hundreds of millions of dollnrs Invostod In Portland's Wator front which thoy havo control of, ns woll as franchises and, It Is almost Jmpnsslblo or highly oxponslvo for any owior rnuronu company to ni- temut competition In thoir STRONG HOLD torrltory Portland. It is also a woll known fact that tho Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul R. R. Co, aro unnblo to enter tho city of Portland, from tho fact of tho Southern Paclllc control "Tho toll Is too groat," "COMMON USERS' CLAUSE: Do not lnyMoo much stross upon that clause, while tho Stato Railroad Com mission hnvo tho power of tho poo plo, nnd can pass upon rulings and glvo orders. They have not tho pow er Invested In them to enforro thoir orders, therefore cannot control tho Southern Paclllc or othor railroads, If tho Commission could, why not In tho coso of tho C. M., & St. P. R. R. Co. nt Portland? I havo had a caso boforo tho Michigan Railroad Com mission. Thoy ordered tho company to comply nnd oxhaustod all tho pow or they woro Invostod with. Did tho railroad company comply with tho Commission's ordors? NO; while thoy did not rofuso to comply, BUT "Just didn't." COOS BAY'S ASSET8: Tho possi bilities of a GREAT HARBOR none omial It botweon Pugot Sound and tho Golden Gato. Why should wo bo so anxious to glvo It awny? Tho Southern Pacific ask It bocauso It is valuable Should wo give it to them or any othor railroad company? NEVER! Somo day wo may be bot tled up; think of It ono moment Tho Southorn Pacific company own tho oast gldo of tho Bay, and thoy want us to glvo thorn tho woht side of tho Bny, ns woll as give our con cent to their BR1DGINQ tho lowor Bay. The Southern Pacific can't con trol tho ebb and How of tho tides, but are asking unmolested non-condltlon-al control of ovorythtng else wo havo In tho way of assets, excepting tho CLIMATE.

That potltlon iloon not recommend or dlsprovo tho grant ing of n bridge Tho purposo of the potltlon Is to bring this much dispu ted question to a final Issuo.
