Oregonian: In res pop se to ap
peals of towns in the Willamette
Valley and on the Oregon Coast the
Southern Paeiftc Coniimny will hast
en the preliminary surveys of the
proposed Eugene-Coos Bay road, the
determination to build which was an
nounced Monday, so that actual con
struction work can be started) with
the least possible delay.
While six surveying parties are
in the field obtaining data and figures
that will be used in preparing the
final plans and estimates for the con
tractors, the engineers in Portland
and In San Francisco are busily or
ganizing their respective forces, that
the great undertaking may be handl
ed and carried to successful comple
tion within the two-year limit set
by J. P. O'Urlon, vice-president and
general manager in this city.
William Hood, the veteran chief
engineer, in the San Francisco of
fice, has been selected lry the com
pany to take charge of the work. He
will prepare the general plans for
the road, design the bridges and tun
uels and will superintend the con
struction work of the contractors. His
assistants will be drawn from the
offices in Portland and San Francisco.
Mr. Hood also hast-harge of the Xat-ron-Klnmath
cut-off of the Southern
Pacific, work upon which has been
in progress for the last two years.
This project, it is expected, will be
completed before tho new Coos Bay
line is finished. At Marsh Held the
new road will connect with the Coos
Bay. Roseburj; & Eastern, a Southern
Pacific enterprise, which operates a
line 28 miles long, to Myrtle Point.
$10,M)0,0( Is INtimate.
Although the final cost of the work
cannot be calculated until the en
gineers have filed their data, officials
here and In San Francisco are certain
that it cannot be dune for less than
$S,Oo j.uiiu, the amount originally es
timated by Mr. O'Brien. This figure
ccvers the cost of construction alone.
To equip the line and provide suitable
Improvements in the way of station
buildings, shops, yards, rolling stock
and other equipment will require an
additional outlay of $2,000,000.
bringing the total investment that the
Southern Pacific will make In Oregon
in tho next two years up to probably
$ 1 o.uoo.ooo.
While abandonment of the Drain
route, on which the Southern Pacific
already has expended more than $1.
000,000, will result In loss of most of
this money, as very little of the im
provements there can be utilized on
the new road. It Is believed that se
lection of Eugene as the eastern ter
minus will prove an economical move
In the end. While amateur "railroad
builders" have placed the cost of
building the road from Drain to
Marshfield at various figures, some
of them being as ridiculously low as
$4.oon.iMMt, Southern Paclc officials
as well as other men familiar with
railroad affairs have declared that
the road out of Drain could not be
constructed for less than $10,000,
000. The cost of operating a Drain
line, too. would be much greater

than the operating expenses of tlu
j Eugene-Marshfield road will be.
Meanwhile, and ever since activity
.on the Drain project was suspended,
(the Southern Pacific was laying plan
to" enter the fertile Coas Bay terri
tory. That the road would be built
by the Harrlman Interests was deter
mined as early as two years ago. It
remained only a question of selecting
the route. In solving this problem
Mr. O'Brien always contended that
the Eugene route Is the most practic
able and the most economical. He
declared that it would be of more
benefit to the Southern Pacific to
build out of Eugene than out of
Drain. At the same time there were
interests In California who desired to
see the eastern connection establish
ed at a more southern point.
Portland to Benefit.
Coos Bay trade has gone to Sau
Francisco in large quantities in the
past and they realized that the rail
road will turn much of this to Port
land. The volume In which Port
land wilt gain from the opening v
Coos Bay depends upon the proxi
mity of the connection to the city. By
succeeding In having the directors
build out of Eugene, Mr. O'Brien ha:
made It possible for Portland to gait
the maximum amount of benefit froir
its $8,000,000 expenditure.
This has been accomplished, too
without diminishing the good effect:
that the territory south of Eugem
will experience. The road will pas:
through a promising part of Doug
las county and the business that I:
developed there naturally will flow
Into Koseburg, the county seat.
ISugene, Marshfield and variom
ether cities that will benefit thir
railway are preparing to celebratf
the dawn of a new era of prosperity
that Mr. O'Brien announcement foretold.-
Mr O'Brien has been Invitee"
to attend several of these function
and is preparing to go to Eugene to
join In the festivities there.

(Special to Tho Evening News.)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4. The very
unusual procedure of democratic
house and 11 republican senate pass
ing tariff revision bills over nn ex
pected iiresidemiitl -to, Is freely
predicted hy leading politicians here
today. It la belluved that the Under
wood cotton revision hill, which
passed the house lust night, will not
be passed hy the senate, because
Southern democrats are disinclined to
take up the issue at present. How
ever, it Is said that those demo
crats and progressive republicans who
passed tho wool revision and farm
ers free list bills will stand together
mid are probably Btrong enough to
puss the measures over the veto that
President Taft Is expected to place
upon them. Standpatters are canvass,
