Fur ther particulars sent on requost." noss Industry uuti LiTUEs urug muru. rights of way purchasos havo so far progressed ns to oabnlo tho company to Immediately start tho work of construction, nnd carry It on to com pletion without dolay. Tho syndlcato behind theso incor porations has paid out in cash up to tho prosont tlmo for preliminary and location surveys, general expenses, rights of way, and purchaso of lands, for terminals, dopot grounds ana townsltos ovor $225,000, and Is In tending in good faith to construct without dolay tho wholo lino as speci fied above and has tho arrangements mndo for tho finances to prosecute tho work according to tho cstimatos and plans which havo beon furnlshod by tho Englncor Dopartmont. Tho syndicate has realized that In constructing this Und it cannot ex pect to monopnlizo tho businoss from nnd to your Hay; tho wonderful re sources of this region, now practical ly undeveloped togothor with tho op portunity or export nnu import ior tho Interior through Coos Day, will no doubt Induco othor companies to build in to this territory, nnd ex pecting this, wo will mako traffic agreements with allied Intorests for through businoss, and aro propared to moot any competition with n fair spirit of rivalry, and wo hopo to treat tho citizens with courtesy so thnt wo may oxpoct our aharo of tho businoss developing. In tho construction of a bridge ever your Day north of North Bond, wo aro advised nnd bollovo that tho War Dopartmont In granting this prlvllego will stlpulnto that tho samo whon built shall bo subject to tho ubo of any other rnllwny desiring to cross the Day nenr that point, undor such stipulations ns to toll, or payment e a proportion of first cost as may bo oqultaulo and Just. Owing to tho fact that another draft of a franchlBo has bcon sub mitted to your Council by onothor railway company, which doos not provldo for common user by any oth er company, I am compollod, In pro tection of tho Interests of my com pany, to submit tho accompanying franchise Wo do not bollove that your streets should bo conflscatod with tho traoks of sovoral companies, hut think thnt ono doublo track rail road with a common uor clauso Is sufficient to handlo the traffic for mnny years to come. Wo do not ask to hold such a franchise but aro will ing to tnko advantago of a common user clnuso undor a franchise held by our compotltor. In modorn history of railroad building, watorfront franchises aro not grnntod without such common user. It Is a result of the progressive thought and assump tion of popular rights. Neither our company nor any othor railroad com pany enn do n transportation business Into your community unloss wo can got to your watorfront and In and out of your wharvos and warohousos. And any railroad company which Is honest In Its purposes to upbuild tho community enn havo no moro objec tion to a water front commbn User, than It could to a modorn stylo of lo comotive Tho Idea that tho building of a rnllrood from Rugono, Orogon, In volving tho expenditure of $9,000, 000. Is dopondent upon tho granting of common user water front rights In North Bend, Is childish. If a second rallrond novor comos, tho common usor clnuso will hnrm no ono: If tho recnud nnd other railroads build t.i your city, tho watorfront common user clause Is your only protection against monopoly, nnd the morn rnll iociIh, tho greater the necessity of common usor protection. Wo havo como to Coos Bay to build n railroad; wo aro asking for no bonuses; wo havo paid for what we got and expect to do so In tho fu. turo; tho only thing wo ask Is access to our waterfront on equal terms with our competitors, nnd If you grant this, you will only be doing Justlco to us nnd protecting your selves; o ' C" course would bo an Injustice to us nnd future transpor tation companies, and would result lu n mononoly of your wnterfront. We nre building to Coos Bay bocause of tho harbor and deep wator and t"Is same motive will impel transpor tation companies horoajtor, but If wo enn't get to tho deep wator oxcopt through tho graco and toll of our competitors, our reason for coming would be negative. Wo submit the frnnchlso to your consideration, believing thnt your spirit of fairness nnd tho desire to promote and prntoct tho public lights, will dlctnte a wlso conclusion.
