THE EJjKUTRIO LINE.
The Idea of a canal to connect
Coos Bay with the Coquille river la
ono deserving ofleep thought. In the
article submitted by Mr. Williams is
cited the cost of such a project and
the financial benefits which would
not only accrue to the bay but tho
entire Coquille Valley. It is shown
that the cost of handling logs would
be even less than the cost of loading
them on cars. The canal would not
only give to Coos Bay added indust
rial and commercial assets but the
number of vessels entering tho port
would be materially increased.
The proposition to have Myrtle
Point for a terminus of the Electric
line from Roseburg in order not to
parallel the Harrjm'an Jroad from
Myrtle Point to Coos Bay has a great
many aspects. If the Times Is correct
the fundamental cause for the pro
posed Roseburg line was to give Coos
Bay connection with the Umpqua val
ley and the intervening country
which is at present crossed by no
railroad lines. There are a great
many reasons why C003 Bay slioulu
bo the terminus of any electric line
that is constructed from Roseburg.
It would bring to south-western Ore
gon's outlet the products of the
richest and most fertile country In
tho state. It would transport them
hero at ono freight charge. What we
want hero Is railroad competition and
not monopoly. Assume that the ter
minus of the Roseburg electric line
Is at Alyrtle Point and that the Harrl-
man line has completed the coast line
from Drain to San Francisco. The
farmer on tho electric line ships his.
produce to Myrtle Point. How will
ho Ipaco It In Coos Bay. He may
transfer It to tho Harrlman road at
that but will tho cost of the freight
from Myrtle Point to Coos Bay over
tho steam road allow of the farmer
living on tlio electric lino to com
pete with the farmer Hiving on the
steam road, even though the latter
bo forty miles further away form
tho bay than tho former.
In tho past railroad rates have
been made on sort of sliding basis
to meet conditions. Experience has
been that tho conditions havo not
always been favorablo to the shipper,

This of course is no indication that
the Southern Pacific will not be ab
solutely Just in its future freight
rates regarding the Coos Bay county.
There is however no better safebuard
against freight rate discriminations
than railroad competition, especially
when the competitor Is an electric
line. Coos Bay has too great a fut
ure in store than to shut the door
when a neighbor asks admission. It
is the railroads that will develop the
state of Oregon and side by side
with her expansion will come the
growth of the greater Coos Bay.
Harrlman will build his road into
Coos Bay. Railroad generals build
roads as an investment. No great
keencss of foresight is required to
see the wonderful returns which a
road leading through the Coos Bay
Country will reap. "Ve want the
Southern Pacific railroad. Jt will
mean a new era for Coos Bay.
But we also want the electric road
and every other oad we can get;
for every road that terminates at
Coos Bay means added strength and
stabllty to our present advantageous
position.
