Meanwhile tbo public aro awaiting dorelopmenU that will prove whether this railroad ventnro is a go or not. The Medford Succom. r We fear that the editor of Success has not read tbo Mail carefully, or elco be is afflicted with a carelessness as to ac curacy of statement. First, the railroad in Question 'a not tho Great "Eastern", nnd it is not locally known ta the "Cooi Bay and Roeoburg" railroad. Further, the Mail does not "deny all theco charges'?, nor has it ever made the assertion that tho railroad would be built or that Itangor would bo a great tcarort. No doubt this will bo a surprising etatement to many of the Mail'? own subscriber;, for tbo inability to under stand plain English is more wideepread than ono would think, but our files will bear out the statement. The Mail has published the news in regard to the Great Central, and very likely that has incladed assertions on the of part of others that the road would be build. The Mail not only hopes bat belives that tho road will bo bal!t, and it has raoro faith in its own judgement in this matter than in tho pessimistic cynicism of any mossback knocker on earth. ThiB much tbo Mail has eald and will reiterate: That Coos Bay is tba best1 bailor and has moro water on its bar than any other port between San Fran citeo and Pujiet Sound; that tbo bar is one of tho ehortOBt and easiest on tic coaEt, cud that tbo depth of water cau- bo groaly iccroased with comparatively 1 ... I llttio expense; that tbia would Le an ex cellent point for tho terminus of a trans, t continental ailroad; that the Great) Central people are and have been die-! playing good faith ; that they have Bpent many thousands of dollars on the Bay, ! and aro likely to spend many more;! that they bavo patronized local busineta mcu and producers whenever possible; that thoy have asked no ono on the i CooaBayfora cent; aud that they e.ro entitled to decent treatment from ovcry one here, which thoy bavo not received. As for the backing of tho enterprise, it does not lequlre any Inside informa tion, nor very much sense, to see that the expense already incurred, prpbabl UM dVerfioboa), hainot been pald'VlUfit j XV" thorn ia uo qucilion but tlmt Umcomitte, of a trans-continental road would in n very few years caueo tho building of n 'citv which would cover not only tl.o 'MBr luvuauu tho'wliolo peuia. em.i.

If he can interest capital sufficient to biing us a trans-continental railroad, he is all right, and wo hopo bo will make moro money out of it than any other one man. Coos county now has ono railroad which is of inestimable benefit to the whole county; yet it was .built by a man for whom no one here now has a good word. lie is accused of having built the ruad without having a dollar of his own: yet tho road is hero, and tho people of Coos county wouldn't have it wiped off the map for twice its cost. If Major Kinney succeeds, builds a railroad from here to Salt Lake, puts a city of 5Q.Q00 on this peninsula and makes fortunes for all here who bavo tbo business sagacity to get in and drill, be will probably be anathematiz ed till the end of time; but it looks very much as though he wero going to do it, anyway.

On the forenoon of the day before Christmas anions tho arrivals wero two attractive young peoplo who wero ' ontlro ntrnni-pra tn onr nnother.
