ROAD WILL BE BUILT
Between Coos Bay and Rose
burg if No Farther.
ALLIEDWITHTIMBER INTERESTS
Humiliation of the Route Is Betas:
Pnshed Construction Promlied
to Bejjin Xot Later Than the
Firnt of September.
It 1b now very positively stated thatxi
railroad will be built between Empire
City, on Coos Bay, and Roseburg. and
that construction will be begun by Sep
tember 1 at the latest. This, it Is said,
will be done even If the project for a
railroad between Salt Lake City and Coos
Bay should fail. Chief Engineer L. D.
Kinney, of the Great Central Railroad
Company, Is authority for this statement,
and he says arrangements have already
progressed far enough to make the Em
pire-Roseburg Railroad a practical cer
tainty. As the matter now stands the trans
continental interests back of the Salt
Lake-Coos Bay enterprise have first call
on the railroad to Coos Bay until August
15. If those Interests shall not deem it
expedient to carry a transcontinental
line that way, they will then be out of
It. and the local road will be built by
capitalists interested In the timber of
the Coos Bay section. It Is not left in
definitely to the timbermen to get to
gether and contribute money for the rail
road. 4 large tract of the timber is now
controlled by men working in harmony
with the Empire Construction Company,
the ostensible object of which is to build
the Great Central Railway between Coos
Bav and Salt Lake City. If the larger
railroad project shall languish, the con
struction company will buld the local
road and develop the lumbering Industry
between Roseburg and Coos Bay.
This was the end in view when M. J.
Kinney, of Aatarla, some time ago took
an option on 90,000 acres of land owned
by the Southern Oregon Company all
that remained of the Congressional grant
to the Roseburg & Coos Bay Company
for a wagon road and telegraph line. It
Is understood that he agreed to pay
something like JC00.000 for the tract. Mr.
Kinney knew what he was doing from
the beginning, and his failure to turn the
bargain over when offered liberal ad
vances on the purchase price is now ex
plained by the statement that an ar
rangement had been effected whereby
that extensive tract of heavy timber will
be made to co-operate with the railroad
enterprise, to the great benefit of all con
cerned. "Whether the railroad shall be of
transcontinental or local character. Its
terminus will be at Empire City, and It
111 traverse"1 about 90 miles to reach
Roseburg. The 96.000 acres of timber land
along this route will be less than half
that accessible from the line, for the
grant was of alternate sections only. If
It is to be a local road, a number of
spurs will be constructed, so as to tap
all the timber within a reasonable dis
tance of the main line.
The timber deal lnvohes setting In op
eration the large sawmill at Empire City
that has been silent for five years or
more, and the general rehabilitation of
the town. The sawmill and a large part
of the townslte are included In the prop
erty under bond, which bond It has been
definitely decided to take up.
May Tet Be Trnnncontlnental.
It is not to be assumed from this, how
ever, that the transcontinental railroad
enterprise is weakening, according to
Chief Engineer Kinney. He seems to be
confident that It will go through, though
this nlll not be positively known before
August, -n hen all the results of the exam
ination now In progress will be submit
ted for consideration. Mr. Kinney says
he has received instructions to crowd
this work, and he will double-team his
surveys, making location of the track be
fore the reconnolssance forces leave the
field, He says the lino has already been
quietly located for a distance of 279
miles westward out of Salt Lake City, and
his surveyors, under Dlers and Bell, mov
ing eastward from Roseburg, will con
nect with the Salt Lake line In about two
weeks. The reconnolssance is In good
shape all along the line, Mr. Kinney says,
and he will have his report In at head
quarters In good seapon so early, in fact,
that he thinks the decision to build the
road between Salt Lake City and Coos
Bay will be made much earlier than
August 15. That decision will not inter
fere with the development of the lumber
ing enterprise. It will greatly extend the
scope of the lumber project, because it
will open a market to the Interior, as well
as keep the coast and foreign markets
within reach.
"I tell you our timber resources should
be looked after." said Mr. Kinney, who
comes of a Tamlly of "Mew Brunswick lum
bermen and is closely connected with
prominent lumbermen of the Eastern
States and Canada. "See what a change
has come into the lumber business In a
generation. In 10 years standing timber
in Oregon will be selling for what the
sawed lumber now brings. To be sure,
the forests of this state and Washing
ton are extensive and heavy, but they
will not stand long when the whole coun-.
try comes here for its lumber supplies,
to say nothing of the rest of the world.
The forests of the Coos Bay country will
abundantly justify the building of a rail
road through them. Oregon Is not 50
3 ears behind the times, but It is E0 years
behind its resources, and this great de
iclopment enterprise will help bring It
tip to Its opportunities."
Origin of Coos Bay Scheme.
From things that leak out a little at
a time It Is understood that more than
one transcontinental line would like an
outlet at Coos Bay. Indeed, there Is good
reason to suppose that this enterprise has
grown out of or swallowed up the scheme
that was announced some time ago to
build from Humboldt Bav tn TtnlKa nr
"Welser, Idaho. Lord Thurlow, J. R. Je-
iamar, ix. u. jfroctor, Robert Gibson and
"William R. A. Wilson, prominent Eng
lish and American investors, were said to
be connected with it. It is now said that
their plan to get to the Coast was gen
eral and did not have any particular port
in view as the terminus until A. B. Ham
mond, who has acquired important Inter
ests at Humboldt Bay, Induced them to
name that port as their objective point,
Mr. Harrlman is said to have been friend
ly to their general project. But a few
months ago there was a conference in
San Francisco at which this railroad
movement was discussed, and there it
developed that the Interests to be served
by getting a port north of San Fran
cisco would not be entirely pleased with
Humboldt Bay for that port. Port Or
ford was then suggested as more suit
able, but that could not be agreed upon.
Then it was resolved to order a special
examination of the ports of Northern
California and Southern Oretmn wfTi o
view to ascertaining which one would
bet serve the purposes In view. Mr.
Kinney made this examination, and his
report on Coos Bay was so favorable
that there was no hesitancy about adopt
ing that as the Pacific terminus to which
the new railroad project would be tied.
Got In Leffal Shape.
Then It became necessary to Incorpor
ate the company for a. formal survey, and
the Title Guarantee & Trust Company, of
this city, was chosen as the Instrument
for the perfection of the organization.
The Great Central Railroad Company was
organized, with J. Thorburn Ross as
president. At the sarne time the Empire
Construction Company was created. The
railroad company was understood to be
In the interest of the transcontinental
project and to be backed by Eastern rail
road men. The construction company was
an Oregon enterprise, affiliated in a meas
ure with the railroad company. It is the
men who are In the construction com
pany that are connected with the tim
ber land purchase, and It is they who will
build the local railroad if the larger enter
prise shall fall to materialize next Au
gust, Nevertheless, their relations with
the railroad corporation are such that
they will not be free to proceed with the
road to Roseburg until It shall have been
decided whether the line to Salt Lake
City will be built, provided such decision
shall be made in August,
Mr. Kinney Is confident that Jf the
local road shall be built It will eventually
be made the Coast outlet for, not one, but
three transcontinental roads. One of
these will come up from Salt Lake City,
another will go down from Butte and the
third will probably be a branch of the
Central Pacific Mr. Kinney argues that
the transcontinental roads want porto
pretty well north. The Clark line to Los
STOCK MARKET IS IDLE

NEW YORK, June 7. There was no
change in the several repressive influ

and the market was practically Idle In
consequence. The policy of the large In

one of pernicious holding until the under

Meantime, the professional speculators

Inez Rlggs, whose body was recovered from the Willamette Thurs

educated In the public school at Oregon City, at which place she lived
for 12 years, residing part of this time with her sister, Mrs. E. Moore.
Her residence in Portland covered a period of four years. Miss Rlggs
hid a charming personality, nnd had a wide circle of friends, with,
whom she was very popular. She was very Industrious, and besides sup
porting herself, purchased with her own earnings a piano and various
other things to make her home attractive. Mrs. Rlggs Is distracted with

Jiave added to the depressing Influence of
the strike on values. The Increased bit
terness and hostility resulting from the
contlnuanco of the struggle have added
to the anxiety which It causes. The
stocks of the coalers themselves have
been well supported and have not suf
fered acutely, but the effect is potent on
the market at large.
Peace Ckbics Na Activity.
Whatever expectation was Indulged that
the declaration of peace In South Africa
would result in Immediately stimulating
the securities market was promptly dis
sipated on Monday when It was seen that
the order of the day In London was tho
taking of profits by American holders of
British consols. This operation would
naturally tend to replenish the supply of
sterling exchange In New York. The high
er rate for money which resulted from
last week's large loan expansion by the
banks was at the same time an influence
to making remittances to foreign mar
ket Despite this, the course of foreign
exchange has been upward, due to de
mand from bankers to cover maturities on
bills sold here before In the course of
borrowing In foreign markets. The for
eign borrowings by American capitalists
were known to be very heavy at this
time, and the effect of the maturing of
these loans from time to time during the
remainder of the year is the subject of
much conjecture. Much depends, of
course, upon the volume of exports of our
maturing crops. The promise of a plenti
ful corn crop nnd especially the flatter
ing report of the cotton crop prospect
by the Government weather bureau are
received with gratification on this ac
count. Great Importance Is. attached also
to the ultimate effect of the Boer peace
in awakening nctlvlty in business and In- i
dustry abroad. Aside from the labor
troubles and the future needs to bo met
by the money market, financial condi
tions are almost without exception fa

SEW YORK BANK STATEMENT.
Decrease Instead of Increase In Csah.
as Expected.
NEW YORK, June 7. The Financier
says:
The official statement of the banks for
last week showed a decrease of Jl.230.000
in cash. Instead of an increase of 5.000
as was estimated on the basis of the
traceable movements of money during the
week. The loans were decreased J1.3S.000.
This change was expected as the result of
the light business on the exchange during
the week, and because of the absence of
important syndicate operations, and of
the distribution of dividends early In the
week, these payments causing the liquida
tion of loans In which the dividend money
had been temporarily employed. The de
posits showed a decrease of J2.429.900,
which amount very closely agreed with '
the total of the decrease of loans and of
cash. The required reserve was reduced
JG07.470, wnlch sum deducted from the loss
of cash leaves JS43.425, as the decrease In
surplus reserve, tnis Item now standing
at J11,2S5,575 against J13.S41.500 at the cor
responding date a year ago.
The average dally clearings of the banks
last week were J207,000,000 against J203.000.
