An other fact having the Bamo effect Is the purchase of 1.000.000 ties, to be qenvorert at Salmon City. . The Gilmore & Plttsburir is an nn dertaklug that up to this tlmo has oeen a subject of more or leas spec ulative gossip as to whether It Is In dependent or has behind it some es tablished and strong railroad inter est. At one time the latter Idea did not seem to be warranted, owing to ucvciopments suggesting that Its pro moters were in trouble, or else had had differences with a financial heimo In Pittsburg, through which Us obli gations were being settled. There still remains nn element of uncertainty relative to the enterprise that not a few people would like to see removed. This much is conclu sive if It Is really to he an Inde pendent road, eventually the Hill and Harrlman systems have some strong competition to meet later on. . A citizen of Itoseburg recently re ceived a letter from a friend In Dolse. Idaho, who says that the Impression prevails to a certain extent In Holse that this railroad will be extended wostwnrd through Central Oregon to the coast, passing throuirll Ontario and Iloseburg. Surveys have been made through noise, and also, through Emmett, Idaho, and the gen eral dlrectici of these surveys In dicate the road Is headed for Coos Hay through Central Oregon. In all probability this east and west Cen tral Oregon lino will be established before tho completion of the Pan ama Canal, the principal obstruction at this tlmo. it is claimed, being the misguided rapuclly of the owners of Cons Day terminal grounds. There seems to bo no desire on tho part of Coos Ilr.y property holders to en courage the building of a railroad, although the Coos country needs transportation more than anything else. However, with the natural ad vantages offered, even the selfishness of its citizens will not prevent tho establishment of terminals, and the railroad to Coos Hay via Itnseburg will materialize, and the section be tween Itoseburg and the bay he In operation before the completion or the canal. Tho average citizen does not realize how valuable this lino will be to Kosebtirg. It will place thlB city practically on tide water, and enable our merchants to ship In goods at water rates, thliB materially re ducing freight rates, and do away for all time with the Portland local, which is a fat rake-off for the S. P.. and nlso release the Portland Job bers' hold on this torltory and per mit the establishment of Jobbing houses In Iloseburg. It will not only be a benefit to Kosebtirg, but to nil Southern Oregon, and such rates as $11.70 from San Kranclsco to Ilose burg and ." from Portland lo Ilose burg. compared with $ii .20 from San Francisco to Portland will disappear rapidly. The S. P. will also set out cars In Itoseburg without charging tho rrelgltt from San Francisco lo Portland plus the local rato from Portland to iloseburg. as Is now the case on such shipments. Our fruit j growers can deliver fruit to terminals) at Coos Hay for water transportation lo Now York city and other Eastern points with less than a loo-tulle httu) by rail, and this short haul will not ' permit very high charges being made by the railroad. The new railroad and the Panama Canal will not only ' j bring the best selling mnrkcts to ' Southern Oregon's door, but the best! i buying markets ns well, so that rner- i ! cbandlse ran be bought cheaper and produce sell higher. The ItoH.-burg-: Coos Hay rallrdad Is so valuable to this community that when 1 1 h value ', Is recognized tiie citizens of Cons and ! Douglas counties will build for them selves. If some established company i , does not construct the railroad. And j when that railroad is In operation the way Southern Oregon will wake ; up will startle the S P. and other; ! Oregon friends. If the extension Is j ! made into Central Oregon, which., ! without question, will be done, the i great virgin fields will be brought , within 1.10 miles of tide water, and , the Coos Hay, llosehurg and Eastern, I railway be one of the best dividend pavers In Atrierba. Wheat, stork, j oil, coal and lumber In enormous j quantities await this outlet to tide; water, and Its construction cannot be much longer delayed. j ('all fr County WarratiU.

Company Must lliilld Spur nt Kdenbower. SALEM, Or., Jan. 20. Finding that tho order of tho railroad coin mission compelling the Southern Pa cific Company to Install a spur at the town of Edenbower Is not un reasonable and unjust, as wnB al leged by tho defendant company, and that there was sufficient evi dence Introduced tending to show that thore is an urgent need of such a' spur at Edeuhowor, Circuit Judge Galloway today decreed that tho or der of the commission he enforced and that tho .restraining order, prayed for by the Southern Pacific Company be denied. This case was commenced against tho Southern Pacific by James Hot elier and several othors, nil residents In and around Edenbowor. At a henring hold before tho commission evidence wus Introduced convincing I ho members of tho commission that Edenbower wns surrounded by rich and productive funning lunds, aud Hint tho plaintiffs were entitled to somo moans by which they could transport their products to 'market. An order was Issued directing that a spur ho laid of sulllclenl. length to hold three freight enrs. The defend ant company appealed to tho Marlon County Circuit Court for relief, and filed a motion for a restraining or der on the grounds that the enforce ment of the commission's order would he taking away from It cer tain constitutional rightB. Judge Galloway holds that tho commis sion's order Is bused upon evidence sufficiently conclusive, that Its con stitutionality is not debatablo. and that, so far as tho reasonableness of tho order Is concerned, tho evi dence tends to prove that the busi ness tho defendunt would derive by constructing a sidewalk . would he ample to cover tho expense of u few hundred feet of sidetrack.
