Baby Con IIRAIN 1 INF I STATUS Ml Dr. J. W. Ingram Gives Inter esting Information Concern ing Railway Work. In a letter to D. W. Small, Dr. J. W. Ingram, who left here a few days ago for San Francisco to tako a post graduate course at San Francisco, gives many interesting facts con cerning the. status of the work on the proposed Drain-Coos Bay rail way. Ho gathered some interesting Information on the actual physical developments of tho line, showing how quickly the work can be accom plished ns soon as E. H. Hnrriman floats the $100,000,000 bond issue which his directors authorized the other day to build extensions and Improve tho Harrlman lines. In his letter to Mr. Small, Dr. In gram says: "I shall try to tell you what has actually beon done on tho Drain Coos Bay railroad. ' "At Scottsburg, where I spent my first night out, I found out, thru Mr. Heydon,' the grocer, that all talk of early resumption of construction work had been dropped and that all supplies purchased last fall, especial ly 1,500 pounds -of ham, 150 sacks sugar, etc., had spoiled; however, they have hundreds of barrels of ce ment at Gardner and Scottsburg. "There has been some work done this past spring and no orders for the immediate future, however, a small mill ' on Elk Creek out about four miles from Drain, is cutting ties every day for .the Southern Pacific which looks good, and they 'must have several thousand already piled up ready for use. "The road is actually graded out about three and a half miles, and the trees cut down, but not cleared, for another seven miles. They have in about three or four concrete cul verts and three large concrete brid ges across Elk Creek completed, and the track laid out for a distance of 2i& miles. They have still six or seven more large concrete bridges to construct between Drain and Scotts burg. A Southern Pacific man at Drain told me that long before sum mer had passed they would be doing business in earnest. How much he know! I cannot tell. "iWnay possibly return via Drain just to note the progress." DR. J. W. INGRAM. Fine New Establishment For Outfitting Homes to be Opened in Marshfield. Perry, Montgomery & Co. will oc cupy the entire building soon to be vacated by Merchant Bros., with a complete line of furniture, draperies and floor coverings. Mr. C. K.
