THE COOS BAY TIMES, MARSHFIELD, OREGON, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1912 EVENING EDITION. Jfj, s COOS BAY TIMES M-' O. HALONKV Editor mill Pull. DAN K. MALONKV News Kdltor A PERMANENT HIGHWAY. T HE building of a permanent ItoBcburg la somo thing highway from C003 Uny to vlilch. has long been dlscussod, but xhlch now npoars to bo n mattor or immediate consideration. It Is ittuWntnnii flint In Marshflcld u number of business men aro m doavorlng to launch a movement of that kind and tho spirit of good roads has spread throughout tho county. In nny of tho Coqulllo valley cities tho fooling among tho most progressive will be found to bo tho same. They want a flMt class roadway to tho Interior, whatovor tho cost may bo. Mayor Morrison of Coqulllo Is starting a movement to bring together tho nnnnin nt thn valley cities and then como to Coos Day and ask tho co operation of Marshflold and North Bond In tho mattor of deciding imnn n rnlltO. TIlO Ml 111 Of $200,- 000 a year Is being exponded In tho county on road work, but this does not appear to bo enough to mako a good road to Itosoburg and us a matter of fact with tho other work needed throughout tho county tho usual sum spent annunlly Is not sufllclcnt to build tho sort of road that Is needed. To build a rormanont road that would bo pa3 sablo for nutos at all seasons of tho year, from Coos Uay to Hose burg, would require qulto a largo sum of money, but tho cxpondlturo would soon bo repaid by tho traf fic to this locality. During uio Bummer thoro nro thousands of nor- sona who travel through tno B""c In nutos and tho only reason thoy do not como to Coos county to en Joy tho summer cllmnto of tho coast 1b becauso of tho roads. In winter tlmo tho roads aro some times out of tho question, oven f"r a stage. A permanent road to tho Interior would mean as much to Coos county In actual monoy re turn ns tho building of n rallro.id to this point. If a railroad Is built iho nuto road would bo ncoded even more to tuko enro of tho traffic of Incoming people. After tho railroad Is finished tho high way would bo needed for nuto tourists more than ovor, becauso tho railroad will bring tho boautlos and comforts of tho locality liofnra tho nubile. If tho railroad novor comes, Coos county must hnvo nn ovorlnnd 'outlet. Wo hnvo good steamer Rcrvlcc, hut many do n't want to travel by water, and homo seeker, luvostor, or tourist from the east must bo at oltlior Portland or San KrnnclHco In order to tnku advantage of tho steamer trip, and usually such porsnim nro looking ovor tho ontlro stnto. A porma- nont and safe highway over tho mountnltiH from Itoxehurg to Coos Tiny would be tho most famous auto trip In tho United States. It -would afford tho oujoymout of nat ural Hronlo bounty unexcelled by that which Is seen by crnsulng the Alps, It would bring thouanuds of persons to this county to develop tho ontlro community. A pormn nnnt roadway U an InvoHtmont which would be repaid and return ed with IntoroHt In dollars to the ponplo of Coos county. It Is an In TiMtment which has boon overlook ed and noKlected and which cnrr'os Tit li It tho execution of the mot Important dovolopment project con fronting tho ontlro county today. AVhntovor routo may bo chosen It sliould ho with n vlow of reaching nil tho cltlos In ti county so that (ho benefit may bo general.

Telephone Company Makes a Change at Myrtle Point, Increasing Capacity. (Special to Tho Times.) MYRTLE POINT, Ore., Sept. 20. Tho Coos Day Homo Telephone com pany mndo a chango of Its location of ofllcos In this city. It was dono so quietly and without disturbance of business that nnyono looking nftor tho tolephono ofllco might hnvo thought It had gono out of business. Tho excango was moved from tho old quarters to a building opposite Joo Schilling's hotel on tho main street. Tho now location admitted of nn en lnrgomcnt of tho ofllco and Is In a moro convenient plnco for tho public. Tho chango from tho old oxchnngo to tho now was mndo when persons using tho phone did not know tho dif ference. Everything wns put In read iness and then tho connections wcro switched ovor. In tho now oxchnngo thoro Is ono now board and two of tho old boards which gives a capacity of 12G lines or from 200 to 300 parties. Thoro Is another board which will bo added in tho futuro which will glvo a cap acity of about 100 telephones. Tho exchango Is a first class ono In ovory respect.
