O'Brien Announces Decision of His Company Directors. Ieics J8 given out that the Harriman system is going to build to Coos Bay out from Eugene, and the announce ment is being received with a great deal of Interest because of what It will do toward thtf development of Western Oregon. The Poriland Jour nal relates of the announcement: Forced Into the open by the activity of two English syndicates, one plan ning to build to Coos Bay from Rose burg and the other to follow the Slua law river, General Manager J. . P. O'Brien has issued a statement that the Southern Pacific will begin p.t once' the construction of a line from Eugene to Marshflt Id. . .The announcement includes an ad mission that work already done ou u line from Drain to Marshfield was an expensive mistake, and will have to be abandoned.' Several hundred thoii' sand dollars at least was expended in surveys, grading and bridge and con struction work on the Drain-Coos Bar road, which was favored scheme of E. E.. Calvin when he was general manager of the Southern Pacific Ore gon, lines. '- . . ; . . ;. ".. . Some 30 or 40 miles of work was done on the Drain-Coos Bay line, In cluding grading, laying of rails and bridge work. Mr. O'Brien said today the bridges will be taken down" and the steel used elsewhere, the rails al ready having been taken up, and what ever steps are possible will be taken to retrieve the mistake of the Drain line. It remains, however, one of the costly errors of 'the Harriman chiefs In the northwest. Haggle Over Terms. , Since the late E. H. Harriman quar reled with the people of Coos Bay over the terms upon which the Drain-Coos Bay line .was to be built, and aban doned the project the Harriman chiefs have been busy looking out for anoth er end cheaper route to Coos Bay. Some time ago the Euge-nc-Marshfleld line was decided upon as. the more feasible proposition, and surveys wer made. Then, following th usual Har riman policy, work was temporarily abandoned to aee whether anyone else wanted to get to Coos Bay badly enough to expend money on a road, . Several propositions were soon tak en up, among them the Haines-Clarke survey from RoBeburg to Myrtle Point to promote which a company headed by Samuel ConnEll of Portland was or ganized.. The survey was offered for sale to' numerous parties, but, it Is said, has never found a purchaser. Last spring, however, two English syndicates came .upon the- Bcene. Both have enormous financial backing and both were apparently working lnde- I pendently of each other.' : English Capital Interested. ( One, represented by . E. Copper thwaite, of London, In which E. C Cox, a millionaire operator of West Virginia and other wealthy Americans were interested, has taken up a pro ject from Roseburg. The other, which is said to have the backing of . the greatest financiers oi England . has been at 'work on the Sluslaw project. . In that remarkable way In which the Harriman representatives seem able to learn the most secret moves of possible rivals, the Southern Pacific officials heard of the plans of these two syndicates. Investigations made by Mr. O'Brien Impressed him with the necessity for a quick move on the part of his people and he hurried east last month for this purpose. The de termination to make an announcement of the Harriman plans was made at that time, and Mr. O'Brien has made a detailed statement, apparently in the hope that it may deter to the Eng lish syndicates from going ahead with their plans.' That it will have this effect Is a matter those who have been closest to the English syndicates are Inclined to doubt 1 , . The Harriman plans as detailed by Mr. O'Brien are to complete the Eu-gene-Marshfleld road within two years. He says he expects It will cost $8,. 000,000 and will be from 125 to 130 miles in length. It will follow th Sluslaw river, through the coast rang? and on to the coast, thence sou.h to j MarshEeld. ; Thrfe reasons are advanced by Mr. O'Brien for preferring the Eugene to Drain routt! first, that the former will .pass through a richer district; second that Eugene will be located, on the main line upon the completion of the Natrcn cut-eff, while Drain will be on the western, or branch line; third, that the Eugene road will tap a very larg? body of timber own;d by the Oregon & California railroad. This : timber. however, may not long remain the property of the Oregon & California as the United States has brought suit to cancel the railroad's title to it, and has already won out In the United States circuit court This timber Is a part of the Oregon & California con gressional land grant ' The company organized to cons: met the Eugene-Marshfield Hue Is called the Willamette' Pacific Railroad com pany, and was Incorporated June 14.

George X. vendling, of San Fran cisco, the president. Is manager of the California Sugar Pine company, which operates an Immense plant at Mc Cloud, In northern California. Mr. Wendling and his ' company attained considerable prominence In California as enemies of union labor. His back ers are men of great wealth and own large tracts of timber tributary to the proposed Eugene-Coos Bay line. Mr. O'Brien estimates the total timber tri butary to th proposede line at 15,000,- 000 feet. ' , The Wlllame'.te Pacific has a capi talzation of $1,000,000, and all of th stock Is held by the Southern Pacific company. The line win be built lu the same manner as the Tillamook road the Pacific Railway & Naviga tion -company Is being constructed, and will become a part of the main line- when completed. The Tillamook line will be In operation September 1, It Is expected. " ' RESEMS CITY OFFICIALS TAKING PRIVATE PROPERTY. ' Search and Seizure Act on Deer Hay 'ot Stand. , , , Over in Enterprise there is a deffir- ence of opinion on the search and sei sure act under which city officials are operating. Several weeks ago the city officials through search and seizure enteed Al Emmons soft drink store and confiscated some beer which has proven to be private property. The beer was put in the hands of Sheriff Marvin who carefully stored it in the basement of the nw court house. Now Mr Emmons is bringing suit to re cover his property. There never has been a charge of Illegally selling the beer, but under the city laws of Enter prise It seems a search and seizure is permissible with anybody or at any time. - Thus a man who has had a fresh case or keg sent to bis residence for private use may awaken to find officers searching the premises for. the liquor. , Now comes the question of owner ship. Has Emmons a right to drink his own beer, or has the city a right to keep in storage th beer that was bought by Al. Emmons. . When thi Is decided by the courts then the cus tody of the beer will be established. An erroneous impression prevailed outside of Enterprise relative to the nature of a place run by Emmons. He stands well in that community and has never been in any trouble. Th report coupling the Joseph girls who were serving time in the Enterprise Jail, with the confiscation of the Em mons beer only served the purpose of showing what a plight the officials were in when the Jokesmlth decided to get in his work, as Is always the' case around the county seat. The Jo seph girls were arrested and convicted in' Joseph and had nothing whatever to do with the Emmons matter other than that the two events happened approximately at. the same time.
