If the ningnlflcent action taken by Mayor L. J.

Co-operation is needed on this electric line. Roseburg has set a worthy example of what ener getic efforts will accomplish. Tho movement Is now on the upward trend, and every Impetus should be given it. With everybody from Coos i county to Douglas enthusiastically in favor of tho proposition and ready to back up their expressions with cold cash, with $125,000 already raised in Roseburg, and $10,000 as a start er on Coos Bay, the time. was never moro opportune than now for tho pushing of the work which will ulti mately result In electric connection between Coos Bay and the lich area of country Intervening between Doug las county.

Coos Bay has a valuable asset In Iho rich country that lies along the tributary streams. The productive wealth of the soil contiguous goes far toward supporting the claim that the Coos Bay country is an empire with in itself. There are few countres or sections that could live If necessary absolutely within themselves, inde pendent of the rest of the world. The resources of the Coos Bay coun try make such conditions possible here. With the Coos river to draw from an army or navy could hold out lor nil time to coma on Coos Bay. Along both sides of the thirty miles, navigable on both forks of Coos river, there is an almost per petual growth of every product be cause of the oven temperature twelve months In the year. It would be an Impossibility to forecast the future lor It. Now with comparatively lit tle cultivation the yield Is almost astounding In Its richness and vari ety. What a demand it will be able to supply ten or cvon five years hence. It Is generally conceded that the Coos Bay country will ultimately bo tho center of the dairying industry in Oregon, which means the Pacific coast. Even atUhis date we tiro ship Ting butter, cheese, and condensed cream up and down the coast and are unable to supply tho demand. That our cheese ranks supreme has twice been attested by tho awarding of tho gold medal at tho Oregon state fair. Equally important Is tho agricultural yield, Including In its wonderful variety tho products common to the Tialmy southern climate and the Iiardy north. Crates of apples, plums, chorrles and poars will some day fill tho steamship and railroad "warehouses on Coos Bay waiting for transportation to the markets of tho world for our horticultural indus try Is only limited by tho area put under cultivation. A visitor to Cooa Bay once mado tho remark that If tho people of this country would work as hard to culti vate tho natural resources as do tho people In less favored countries there would bo milllonarles on every hand. "While tho remark was a trifle far fetched it furnishes food for thought. It is doubtless true that In this coun try, whore Naturo has spread with so lavish a hand, tho people aro not spurred to the offorts of those living Jn sections where tho soil requires .careful and diligent nursing to yield .to any extent. Tho vital necessity of nurturing the rich nssots of this country, howover, is becoming moro fully realized each day. No coal shortage will over con front tho people of the Coos Bay country. With our millions of tons of coal wo can only sympathize with neighboring countries who each year face tho complexities of tho fuel question. Tho Coos Bay country, with Its harbor, Its timber, Its coal, and its responsive soil and oqunblo climnto, Is Indeed an Empire within ltsolf whoso futuro growth It Is lmposlblo for tho mind to oncompass. Hundreds of Miles of Double Track ing Ale Doing I-aid Hcay Work'. rTFSsriLJbi'UJLiJmnvazM wmhmVfs I paganisgssgBgqgpKawssa fe rTgugEffMCT-i V, W--J"-msagwa4-IJmBaM wnca 5aE535H3sagge33H5aE3asES23aiEsa5asJssffip WILSON & THOMAS Contractors and Builders cut-off the old Omaha Chicago, June 12. Double track construction on the Union Pacific has been undertaken this jear on a scale exceeding anything attempted before in the West. To the 175 miles of double track in operation between Omaha and Green River, Wjomlng, will bo added nearly 200 miles of second track now under con struction. Tho vast undertaking known as the Lane Cut-Off between South Omaha and Lane, Nebraska, al though only 11 miles in length. Is the Pacific Improvement program now under way. This line necessitates three million cubic yards of roadbed excavation, and calls for fills of from 300,000 to 1,400,000 cubic yards. Tho cuts aro of equally huge propor tions. The largest is a mile long with an extreme depth of S'i feet. Tv.o-thirds of the grading is finished, and the wholo undertaking will bo completed this year. The saves nearly nine miles over main line by way of South and Gilmoie. r-om Lane to Valley double track ing was completed late last year. This fall will see the completion of another big stretch of double track nearly fifty miles in length, from Valley to Benton. The next big sketching of double tracking aro be tween Silver Creek and Lockwood, a distance of 3S miles, Alda to Buda, Neb., 29 miles, and Rawlins to Warn sutter, Wyo., 41 miles. By the end of 1907 the Union Pacific will have a continuous double track In operation from Council Bluffs to Watson's Ranch near Kearney, a stretch of 194 miles. When all these Improvements are completed together with others under way west of Ogden, it is believed that with their Chicago and Omaha con nections the Union and Southern Pa cific can still further reduce the time from ocean to ocean by possibly 12 hours, or as much as this route has already reduced tho running time from Pnclflc to Atlantic In tho last eight years.
