Address Ail Communications to COOS DAY DAILY TIMES Marshfleld Oregon r. HMnTiiiiTTirBa agamic ii win ill rrmm THE RAILWAY SITUATION. That was highly important news ".contained in the special telegram from Messrs. Mingus, Oren and Grimes and published in The Times Saturday evening. There was quite as much Information reading be tween the lines as that contained in Ihe printed characters. In the first jilace It destroyed the empty and de lusive excuse that work is being held up on tho Drain line because of the general financial situation. Accord ing to this telegram, Mr. Harriman .promptly assured the Coos Bay com mittee that if this section could dem--Ltmstrate to his special representative who will be sent here immediately, .that there was sufficient business to pay four per cent on the cost of con struction, he would order work re--sitmed at once on the Drain-Coos Bay line. The proposition Is a strange and unusual one coming from a great -railway magnate. It would seem at jflrst a. brilliant and clover move to sshift the responsibility of the build- ling of the road from Mr. Harrlraan's Omaha Mayor Decides That Ho Is Beaten In Nebraska.

The an nouncement that the syndicate of eastern capitalists who proposed to build a half million dollar hotel here had called the deal off because the Idaho Republican convention adopt ed the local option plank has caused a furore hero. It is said that th'i syndicate claims that the hotel could not be made to pay without a bar room. Prohibitionists and Repub licans leaders claim that tho an nouncement Is a bluff by Democratic members of the syndicate to get votes for the Democratic state ticket. PRIZES TO LITTLE GARDENERS.

NEWPORT, Or., Sept. 5. After battling with heavy seas for five days ln a 26-foot launch. Captain R. E. Vooth and his companion, Frank Saltus, has returned to this harbor. A week ago Tuesday morning they loft Newport in the little launch Blue Belle for a trial run to the Big Banks, 35 miles off shore, to examine Into the possibilities of the halibut fish eries discovered by the United States Fish Commission steamer Albatross some years ago. The Blue Belle re turned with seven large halibut, ag gregating 900 pounds In weight. Captain Vooth reports that all went well the first two days out. They found the banks and set their lines. These were carried away by some large fish, probably a shark, and they were comeplled to resort to hand lines. Wednesday morning a heavy southwest sea accompanied by sharp squalls caused the sea to rise so that the little launch made heavy weather of It. Finally, as the weather showed no signs of moderating, Captain Vooth turned the bow of his little launch towards land and at dusk made iand off Coos Bay. Tho passage over the bar was safely made and Marshfleld wa3 reached at 9 o'clock the same even ing. Here the Blue Belle was bar bound until Saturday morning, when she once more went out to sea, mak ing the passage up tho coast to Ya quina Bay in 15 hours with a heavy sea running. Tho trip of the Blue Belle, which is no larger than an ordinary pleas ure launch, Is considered as an" un usually venturesome one, Including, as It did, a heavy test of the ability of a launch of this size to stand seas that have kept much larger craft barbound all along the coast. Captain Vooth states that the depth as he found it on the Big Banks is between 70 and 80 fathoms, with apparently plenty of fish. rHe will return soon as he procures a fresh supply of gasoline and repairs his gear. r FINANCIAL ENGTH In a bank lies, first, ln the ability and experience of Us officers, ''The men behind the gun;" second, Its board of directors who ad vise with and direct tho officers; and third, the Capltah LIBERALITY In a bank is its willingness to furnish funds to depositors to nsslst them ln carrying on their legitimate busi ness.

It will be accepted at Its face value until devel opments warrant a reversal of opin ion. The Times understands that the orders to push work on the Tllla jnoolc line followed just such an in--vestlgation as is promised Coos Bay. The plain and paramount fact is nifout Coos Bay must and will have a railway. Tho logic that nature em ploys in tho scheme of commercial development s Insurmountable arid lorevor apparent to reading eyes. "The commerce of tho country can no mo.ro overlook the superb advant- ages of this port and harbor than the .sunbeams can fall to filter through jspaec. It is inevitable that some thing shall be done to utilize tho "wonderful agoncies laid ln tho hand of progressive man at this place. It jSa to be hoped that E. H.

Reduced Rates Were Made On Fair Exhibits By Railway. The Coqullle Sentinel in its last issue evidently through ignorance of the special freight rates made by General Manager C. J. Mlllis of the local railway for exhibits for the re cent fair, misrepresents the com pany. Mr. Millis prior to the fair OPERATE AUTO LINE announced that half rates would bo . made on all exhibits for the fair ex cept race horses, that Is the one way rate would be charged for transport ing tho freight to Marshfleld and J back to point of origin.

Grimes, Dr. E Mingus and W. L. Crowe Behind Rosebiirg-Coos I Jay Project. Tho Coos Bay-Roseburg Transportation Company, with $50, 000 capital, has been organized here for the purpose of putting on a lino of autos to handle tho mall, passen ger and express traffic between tho main line of tho Southern Pacific at Roseburg and the Bay. The organiz ers of the company are F. B. Walto of Roseburg and Coos Bay, Wm. Grimes and Dr. E. Mingus of Marsh fleld and W. L. Crowe of Los An geles who has recently been Identifi ed with tho auto transportation com panies doing business In Nevada. Tho plan was outlined ln Tho Times some time ago. As tho road will bo a public high way, tho county commissioners of Coos and Douglas counties will prob ably bo asked to aid In defraying the oxponso of Improving the sixty-two miles of road. Mr. Crowo believes that the dls- goods here to show and then so'd did not get any reduced rate nor wa"3 It intended that they should. All ex hibitors who took their products home with them were granted the reducod freight rate. The Coqullle Sentinel printed the following: "Tho local railroad company fail ed to reduce the carfare ln this coun ty during the fair, and they charged full prices for freight on articles shipped from the Coqullle to Marsh fleld for exhibit, but wo are inform ed that nearly if not all of the ex hibits would be disposed of at Marsh fleld.
