The Man From .MiMwmrl KnKr for
IriformiiiloM.
Editor EvoniiiKK N'cwh:
It haa been Haid a fool ran ask
qileHliona that a wIko ninii cannot mi
hwer, and It may bo for UiIh reason
that the qnoHllotiH nuked herein can
not be anawi-red by you. Tbo ques
tion arittea from the lack of real gen
uine news relative to the proposed
Coos Hay and Eastern OroKon Kali
road. Tor the past few days It bus
been rumored around the streets that
"important meetings are being held
nightly, " but no mention Is made of
any important transactions relative
to the railroad. Kor twenty years
efforts more or less (mostly less) ef
fective have been made to build this
needed line of railroad, and nothing
much has been accomplished more
than the rise and rail nf the hopes
of the people In the territory affect
ed. In recent days, however, there is
aotne Indication that a railroad may
bo built, and the filing of certain
legal papers creates an unusual stir.
The Southern Pacific Company rushes
lnlo print and announces In extra
large letters through the medium of
tne interests' papers that Immediate
construction Is to begin on a line
from Eugene to the coast note the
word ."Immediate." Note also that
the Lane Asset Company, not con
trolled by the Southern Pacific, has
started construction on a line from
Eugene westward. Ilrolher O'llrleii
reckoned that that stone would kill
two birds, and put a crimp In both
the Eugene line and the Knar-uum
line. Hut the crimp was not very no
ticeable, so other methods will be
resorted to. The llariiman method
Is to bluff ns long as bluff goes, buy
off If anything Is for sale,, employ a
few gum shoes all the time, ami build
when competition compels.
This proposed road has been be
fore the public for many years, .lusl
at the time a supposedly reputable
company announces that It Is ready
to begin construction within a rea
sonable time, behold the financiers
who wake up and announce that they
are rendy tn build the Hue, too. Here
comes one company with $r,Ouo,oiio,
as evidenced by one mortgage and
trust deed, who state that a road
will no built from Cons Hay to Itose
hnrg. Also comes iviher financiers
who nnnounce that they have plenty
of money and they will build Ihe
roud provided certain things are ar
ranged. All this happens Imtnedll
ately nfler ihe filing of a lo,oon.oon
mortgage by Mr. Clark, who. It Is
supposed, has arranged for tbo llnan
cIiik of the Coos lluy and Oregon
Eastern railroad. Now the foolish
questions arc these: Are theHO new
comers sincere and do they come In
good fallh, or Is this our old friend,
the Soulhern Pacific, appearing In a
new dh,:ul;e? lines I'niium II. Clark
actually intend to push t lie construc
tion of a railroad rrom Coos Hay to
Ro?ebre? If neither of Ihese compa
nies commence construction this year
are there others who really offer in
good faith to furnish the capital for
this railroad? Is there any way to
distinguish between real and false
promoters the friends of HosebiirK
and the Southern Pacific hirelings?
Aru there any of the Inner circle ol
itoseljlirg lllislliess ne-n more melon;
lo the Southern Pacific than they are
to Hoselllllg allll tier lint-renm: ir
there anybody riding on Southern Pa
cific passes or mileage kindly Tar
nished bv the company who has ac
cess to these secret meetings anil who j
might furnish Information to the(
Southern pacific? And suppose I In-
information Is given the Soulhern.
Pnclllc (as It probably Isl what ef-1
feet will It have on this railroad If (
the money Is actually ready ror in
vestment? With all this niyiilery and
money Is it possible for the News re
porter to enlighten the canallln" as
lo prospective railroad construction
In this territory? As the property
owners of the community are sup
posed to furnish the right-of-ways,
etc.. why exclude them absolutely
from anv Information? Does the
I Sews believe Hint a railroad Is actu
ally to be built within a reasonable
i ir ur. nlmt do tlu.su new-

the mystery.
