ANTS FOUR PER CENT
ON CONSTRUCTION COST
I Messrs. Mingus Oren and
Grimes Travel With Him
From Roseburg to Eugene
(Special to The Times.)
EUGENE, Ore., Sept. G.
Editor Times By special In-
vitntlon, wo traveled on E. H.
Hnrrlmmi's special train from
Roseburg here. We met Messrs.
Hnrrlman, Calvin and O'Brien
individually nnd liad very inter-
csting talks with them.
Mr. Harriman agreed to send
a special representative to Coos
Bay to investigate the resources
as to whether there is siifllclent
traflic to insure four per cent
interest on the cost of construe-
tion and if so will recommend
the construction of the railroad
to Coos Bay immediately.
(Signed)
E. MINGUS,
J. E. OREN,
WM. GRIMES.
The above telegram received by
The Times at noon tells concisely the
result of the conference of the Coos
Bay Committee with E. H. Harriman
concerning the construction of a rail
road to Coos Bay. The committee
was even more successful than anti
cipated by many and the result will
be that Coos Bay will soon know
whether or not E. H. Harriman will
build a railroad to Coos Bay In the
near future.
Mr. Hantaan stated to Gov.
Chamberlain recently that the Drain
Coos Bay railroad would cost ?3,
000,000. Four per cent interest on
$3,000,000 would mean a net in
come of $120,000.
While the telegram does not speci
fy the date on which Mr. Harriman
will send his special repiesentatlve
here, It Is expected that it will be at
once and it will not take long for
him to gather the required data to
estimate the freight business in and
out of Coos Bay.
Messrs. Oren and Grimes are ex
pected to return at once to Coos Bay
but Dr. Mingus will not be back for
a few days as he will go to Ashland
to visit his mother.

(By Associated Press.)
ALBANY, Ore., Sept. 5, "I would
like to know what you have got
against me," said E. H. Harriman,
replying to a remark that the peo
ple of Oregon might send him to the
U. S. Senate if he should make his
home here, after the arrival of the
special here today. He was greeted by
the mayor and several hundred citi
zens. Answering an inquiry about
the extension of the Corvallls East
ern, he said, "I. intend to do more
extensive railroad building this
year than for a long time and Oregon
will receive her share. We will
build across the mountains but have
formed no definite plans. The re
ception in Albany and at other
points In Oregon has been most
pleasing. We must work together."

EUGENE, Ore Sept. 5. E. H.
Harrlman's speclaj train renched
Roseburg early today and left a half
I hour later for Eugene. The train
l was boarded by a committee of Rose
burg citizens to pay their respects 1
I and a delegation from Coos Bay
' presented the claims for a railroad
1 connection from thetmaln line of the
Southern Pacific to that city. As
they were unprepared with statis
tics, Mr. Harriman gave them no en
couragement for the immediate con
struction line, but promised to send
a representative, to Coos Bay to in
vestigate and confer with them. He
assured the committee that whenever
they could show that a railroad to
Coos Bay would earn four per cent
for ten years, the construction would
be recommended.
Regarding ti lino through central
Oregon, Mr. Harriman said the road
from the Columbia river to Klamath
would probably be built at once. The
Oregon Eastern is to follow later by
easy stages. Mr. Harriman was ac
companied by John Muir, an eminent
scientist who has been his guest at
Pelican Lodge. General Managers
O'Brien and Calvin of the Southern
Pacific, were also with him.

LHLD LI
Southern Pacific to Resume
Construction of Railroad In
Oregon at Once.
PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 4. Con
struction work on the Lytle road,
from Hlllsboro to Tillamook, will be
resumed at once. Operations will bo
continued steadily until the road Is
completed, which it is believed will
be accomplished by June, 1910.
There will be no further delays In
building this railroad.
Three million dollarB will be Bpent
in completing the project. Over
$1,000,000 has been spent already
on the road. Construction tools and
machinery for driving tunnels and
grading are on the ground and work
ment are in close touch with contrac
tors. So much in earnest is Mr.
Lytle, president of the road, that
work will bo continued all winter, so
that the line may bo completed as
soon as possible.
Orders to resume operations on tho
Tillamook road, which, when com
pleted, will bo a feeder of tho Harri
man system, are the result of tho re
cent visit of Julius Kruttschnltt to
the Tillamook district, 'and his con
ference with Mr. Harriman at Pelican
Bay.
Tho line to Tillamook has a pro
jected mileage of 86 miles. At tho
Hlllsboro end of tho road, 18 miles
Is In operation and 4i miles addi
tional of grading has been done.
Over a mile of track has been laid
at tho Tillamook end and three miles
and a half more has been graded. A
tunnel 300 feet long has been half
completed at the Tillamook end of
tho road and a 1400-foot tunnel be
yond Buxton on the Hlllsboro
end has been 95 per cent finished.
Construction of the road was start
ed In October, 1905, and was kept up
steadily until last November, when
work was topped because of the fi
nancial stringency. Tho project was
orlgtnally that of Mr". Lytle, and the
Harriman interests acquired It at a
later date. Mr. Lytle, however, still
Interested In tho road, continues Its
president.
