Perkins says the people crowded the opera house at 10 o' clock in the morning and went on record as favoring the project. Among the speakers at this meeting was Kred Hollister, an enthusiastic booster of the Coos Hay country. Mr. Hollister explained thai the people of Coos Hay had waited long for a railroad nnd that the time had ar rived when some deflnlto action should be taken. It was Mr. Ilollls ter's opinion that the proposition at hand was the most legitimate one ever submitted to tho people of Coos County. Although Mr. Perkins Bnys he en countered considerable Southern Pa cific sentiment at Marshl'ield, ho found the people there enthusiastic over the late movement for a com munity railroad. Al Powers, of the Smith-Powers Lumber Company, and one of Coos Count.VB most in fluential citizens, voiced tho senti- mcnt of the Mnrshfleld people when he said the residents of that locality were ready and willing to support and work for any legitimate railroad proposition. At Coquille and Myrtle Point the meetings were well attended and everyone seemed anxious to assist in the project. Although Mr. Perkins was unable to determine tho exact amount of bonds that will be issued by Coos Countv, ho does not hesitate to say that the road will start with about $1,001), 000 available. With this sum as a working capital. Mr. 1'erklns clainiR the remaining $2,500,000 necessary in financing the project will be forthcoming without diffi culty.

There appears to be some conflict of opinion with regard to this act, however, a number of Coos Hav attorneys claiming that municipalities have a right to issue bonds in cases such as the one at issue. .Mr. Perkins says the wagon road through the canyon Is very rough and that a few dollara spent in drag ging it at this time would improve it wonderfully. awardeo"bigestate Mrs. f rands Long, of Roseburg, Wins Bitter Legal Battle FALLS HEIR TO $55,000.00 Telegram Received Here Today Says Will Con test !day Be Appealed te iiie Higher Courts Property in Onio Mrs. Prances Long, wife of F.
