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

BOISE, Idaho, Sept. 5. 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.

Blue Bell Made Successful Trip
Between Newport and
Coos Bay.
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

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. And yet Coos Bay is chasing
after Harriman!"
