C. A. Strickland, of North Bend,
favors Tho Times with a copy of the
Salt hake Tribune which contains
tho following Interesting bit of rail
way news, the most important part
of which will be found at tho con
clUHion which states that Coos liay
Is to be the Pacific coast terminal of
tho Northwestern. It will also be
noted that the railway man inter
viawed, says he has seen tho blue
print of th proposed line. Tho arti
clu la as follows:
"That the Bamberger lallroad is to
play an Important part in the rail
road world wafa brought out today in
a talk with a prominent railroad man
and tho reason of the fight made by
tho Ogden Union Denot company, tho
Union and Southern Pacific comp
anies and the Oregon Short Line was
also made known.
Friday an action was begun in the
district court here by the Salt Lake &
Ogden railioad against the companies
above named to obtain n right of way
across their tracks. Several efforts
have been made to reach an agree
ment between tho railroads affected,
but without avail, hence the suit.
"Residents of Ogden," said the
railroad man referred to, "have
known thnt when the Barberger lino
reached the bracks of tho Harriman
llnoa that there would bo a fight be
fore a right of way across them
.would bo granted, but they expected
aij ntuicablo adjustment would finally
bo reached. This, it is now known,
will not bo affected. The reason
should bo patent to all.
"What Is tho reason? you ask.
Why.tho Bamberger lino Is the routo
which tho Northwestern road is to
uso. to get Into Salt Lako and thence
continue on southward down through
Arlzoua into Old Mexico and on to
Muzallan, on tho Pacific ocean, and
luq east from tho southern end of
Lower California.
What Bluo Prints Show.
"This Is no dream, my boy. Hero
are the blue prints. They show you
tho routo. The Northwestern rail
road Is now built to Lauder, Wyo. It
differs from other tarnscontlnontal
linos In that it traverses and will
travorso tho best portion of seven
stntea. Prom Lander, tho Wyoming,
Idaho &, Pacific railroad start3. This
is ,tho western and southern exten
sion of tho Northwestern to tho north
and south Pacific coast. From Lan
der west tho last-named company has
constructed a road that Is tho grade,
and this is now ready for tho ties.
"A water grade is followed, and
th a Green river Is crossed about
sovonty miles west from Lander, and
then the Cottonwood Is followed up
to tho sourco whonco tho continental
dlvldo is crossed, through n tunnol
3100 foot In length and at an ele
vntlon of 7021 feet. Then down
Grays ilvcr to whoro it empties into
the south fork of tho Snnko river to
tho base of Caribou mountain, fam
ous for its placer and quartz deposits
of gold, and which Is at tho lower

Wyoming.
"This is tho junction point. One
branch eo'itinucs west down tho
Snnko NIvor alley and crosses tho
Oregon Short Lino railway between
Market lake and Idaho falls. Theaco
tho lino continues almost directly
west, crossing Lost rlvor at or near
tho big rnnch of Chief Justice I. N.
Sullivan of Idaho, crosses Wood river
Bonth of Dollvuo and runs through
tho ranch of tho late Senator Arthur
Brown. Tho huso of tho Sawtooth
range Is then skirted, tapping tho
famous Wood rlvor nnd Sawtooth
lead and silver deposits.
"Tho head of the Salmon Is crossed

Party of Surveyors in Town for
Few Hours Leaves for Down
The Coast.
Who are they? Whero did they
come from and whore are they going?
What do they represent?
These are a few questions which
have been arousing the curlouslty of
a number of citizens over tho arrival
of a number of surveyors, engineers,
or timber cruisers who arrived In
Marshfleld on the Gasco Saturday
night. The party was composed of C.
J. Wilson, O. L. Holstrom, M. Van
Horn, James Foster, M. H. Mitchell,
C. D. Smith, J. P. Wood, Bert Wilson,
T. D. Barton and Frank Smith.
They came directly from tho boat
to the Blanco hotel Saturday night,
registered their names and gave no
place of residence. They disappeared
off tho face of the earth and have not
been heard of since. They were' un
known to Captain Holden. They wero
unknown to Mr. Mills, tho hotel
clerk, and they told nothing about
themselves.
They wero mostly educated men,
however, and were bronzed with out
door life. They also had surveying
instruments and compasses, and left
the impression that they wero sur
veyors for some railroad line pro
jected through or near this point.
Mr Mills, of tho Southern Pacific,
was asked in regarding them, but
said ho he had not the lout idea who ,
they wero.
As far as can bo found out they,
loft for Bandon, without stopping at
tho hotel, and one man -who taw them
believed that they wore members of
tho Geodetic survey party -which was
operating on tho coast Bear Cali
fornia some months ago, and who re
sumed their work of fixing the coast
lino on tho government maps.
Sovoral people bcllere that they
represent tho Northern Pacific rail
road and that thoy are making a
survy of tho proposod lino from
Astoria to Eureka, Cal. Nothing can
ho found out about them, however,
and what project thoy aro really
working ivnm in a mystery which the
party evidently intends shall remain.
Astoria Leader Devotes a Leading Editorial to The Times

The next day tho general manager
of the electric company discontinued
tho ad in tho Times upon tho grounds
that, as the company was carrying an

no right to criticise the corporation.
