Coos Co. Last Night
PUBLIC MEETINGS ARE HELD
Al. Powers anil Fred Hollister Active in Be

Wlil Hold Bond flections
That the people of Coos County
are enthusiastic ovt-r the prospects of
a railroad from Koseburg to the
coast and will do their share to bring
about a speedy realization of the
project, was the Btatcment of J. V.
PerkittB, who returned here from
Murshfield Inst night. According to
Mr. Perkins, public meetings were
held at Coquille, Myrtle Point, .North
Bend and Murshfield. At each of
these meetings the project was fully
explained by -Mr. Perkins, after
which brief talks were delivered by
Coos County citizens. In. every in
stance. Mr. Perkins says, sentiment
wa8 unanimous in favor of tho rail-
road.
At North Item), where it was im
possible to hold a meeting In the
evening, Air. 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. Other meetings are to be held in
Coos County this week, when com
mittees will he appointed to make
preliminary plans for holding special
bond elections. These elections, Mr.
Perkins says, will bo held within the
next few months.
Although the agitation for n rail
road from Hoseburg to the coast
started but a few weeks ago. Mr.
Perkins says numerous inquiries
have been received from the big in
terests of the country. While not at
llhertv to divulge the identity of the
inquirers, Mr. Perkins says they are
people with sufficient capital to con
struct and equip tho road without
difficulty. Two or more of tho out-

for building the road when the time

reported that A. Welch will arrive
here soon to look over the railroad
prospects.
In his addresses before the public
meetings in Coos Comity, Mr. Per
kins made it plain that the people of

people anu wouiu uc
torily to all concerned.
With such men as Kred Hollister
and Al. Powers boosting for the road
, frtrts itsiv Mr. Perkins says there
lis no doubt that the project will
' reach a successful termination.
Another mass meeting win oe neiu
in Hoseburg soon when Mr. Perkins
will report his success on Coos Bay.
At that time another step in the
movement for a railroad will prob
ably be taken.
While at Coos Bay Mr. Perkins
ir,tFt.,,l tfcnt entite ilelav might
; he encountered in holding bond elec-
,!..., r..c tim rtmunn n il il watt
claimed that a legislative act made
it impossible for the smaller munici
palities to issue bonds for railroad
construction. 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.
