FAST TRAIN JUMPS TRACK Mayor L. J. Simpson and Marshfield Chamber of Com merce Want Draw Bridge. ACROSS SOUTH INLET. Proposed Improvement Will Make Sunset Day and Daiulon More Accessible. Mayor L. J. Simpson of North Bend, is heading a movement to secure the construction of a draw bridge across South Inlet to make the road between Coos Bay, Sunset Bay and Bandon more accessible. He, with representatives of the Marsh field Chamber of Commerce, will ap pear before the Coos county commis sioners at Coqulllo May 7th, to urgo that body to order the construction of the Improvement at once. Tho cost will bo between $6,000 and $7, 000. At present, there is a ferry over South Inlet, but it is declared to be inadequate for the travel at present and owing to the likelihood of a great Increase during the coming summer, Mr. Simpson believes that It Is essential that the improvement be made as soon as possible. One of tho things that will increase the travel on the road during the summer is Mr. Simpson's personal Improvements there. He has plans to make Sunset Bay a pleasure resort for the people of Marshfleld, North Bend and Empire. He proposes to build a hotel, race track and other attractions. He is also building a fine summer home there for himself. The Marshfleld Chamber of Com merce is heartily in favor of the proposition to construct a drawbridge across South Inlet.

Mc Cormac has named Secretary Walter Lyon and Henry Sengstacken as two members of a committee of three, the third one toe announced by him shortly, to "appear withMrf SImpsdn before the county commissioners in behalf of It. Their efforts will be re inforced by a petition, signed by about seventy-five per cent of the largest tax-payers of the county, which Mr. Simpson has secured.

Tower. t South Coos River ha3 become a very popular summer resort' for Marshfleld people, and In the past two years many attractive bunga lows have been built there.

The Indorsement of the state ap propriation of $125,000 annually for Oregon University at Eugene fol lowed talks in behalf of the Institu tion by Dr. J. T. McCormac and Judge E. O. Potter of Eugene. They outlined the need of a higher educa tional institution' for Oregon and showed this amount was absolutely essential to the maintenance and nro gress of the Institution. They cited the fact that Washington Is appro priating over $600, oqo' annually for Its State university, California $1, 000,000 for Its university and other states like amounts, showing that the amount asked for Oregon's Institu tion is really very small In compari son with that similar Institutions are receiving elsewhere. The resolution adopted last night was as follows: "Resolved that this Chamber of Commerce is in faVor of a great Uni versity, In keeping with the greatness of the State of Oregon, and to that end we favor the passage of the pending bill appropriating. $125,000 annually to" the University of Oregon and pledge our support to that meas ure."

After a brief discussion of It, Henry Sengstacken moved the adop tion of the resolution with a rider attached providing that the fleet's headquarters should be at Coos Bay. However, it was decided to eliminate the rider. The resolution Is as fol lows: "Wo respectfully petition for prop er and adequate naval protection for' the Pacific coast of the United States. "We realize that with the constant ly growing commerce of the Pacific, this ocean is to be tho scene of the future strugglo for commercial su premacy, and that to no nation Is this supremacy more essential than to the United States. " "We realize that the Pacific coast of the United States is In such un protected condition that incalculable damage could be done to the nation, and more especially to that part of it lying on the Pacific ocean, by a for eign enemy, before an adequate fleet for protection and defense could be mobilized on Atlantic waters and sent to Pacific waters. "Therefore, we respectfully pray that you will, In the exercise of your authority, order that there bo main tained permanently upon tho Pacific ocean a fleet of warships consisting of not less than twelve first class bat tleships and eight largo armored cruisers."
