TIME IS OPPORTUNE.
If the ningnlflcent action taken by
Mayor L. J. Simpson of North Bond
yesterday In buying up $10,000 worth
of shares In the Coos-Douglas elec
tric line is a criterion, Coos county
will raise Its $125,000 In a very
short time. 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.

OUlt RESOURCES.
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.

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.
