PERMANENT ROADS IN COOS
County Court Plans Railroad to Stone
Quarry Near Coquille,
Marshfield. Determined in their ef
forts to build permanent roads in
Coos county, the county court has de
cided to make use of stone which can
be procured in the locality. Near Co
quille there is a quarry where a first
class quality of stone for roadmaking
can be procured. The commissioners
will build a railroad to reach the
quarry so that the stone can be dis
tributed along the roadways and used
in making permanent roads.
The movement for a good highway
from Coos Bay to Roseburg is being
advocated by the people in general
more than ever, and if the commis
sioners are enabled next summer to
get rock for road building they will
probably be able to build highways
that will withstand the rainy season.

Practically all week the railroad
commission has been taking testi
mony in its Investigations of the nu
merous tariffs which were set down

the .rates involved and also because of
the thoroughness of the preparations,
this has been the most comprehensive
and searching investigation the com
mission has yet made.

FLOOD GUTS OFF
SEATTLE'S WATER
Seattle Seattle's water supply cut
off, the municipal light plant out of
commission, railroad service demor
alized, bridges washed' out, and val
ley towns and farms under water rep
resent the damage done by the floods
in Western Washington caused by
heavy rains in the low lands and the
sudden melting of six feet of snow
in the Cascade Mountains.
The most serious aspect of the flood
is the cutting off of Seattle's water
supply, which is obtained from Cedar
Lake, 35 miles east of here. A bridge
16 miles west of Moncton, that carried
the pipe lines across Cedar River,
was washed out when a deluge of
water came over the power dam Just
above Moncton. The Seattle munici
pal power plant is situated at this
point. The power plant was put out
of commission by the washing away
of the intake pipe that feeds the big
turbines.

has not gripped, the people of this
country, "and we will try to keep it
from getting any hold," he added.
