Probably ost remarkable general In the e of that universal genius Jtioc er. I am glad Harrlman made ar that he would build from n to Coos liay wnen our people wea mm mat meir uusiuesa wuuiu Jf four per cent on the investment. It'was a very pretty, diplomatic and business like position for Mr. Harrl- fififin fr tnlrn. nnH wns a delightful way of telling our committee to go home and attend to their business : 'nnil lfit him no home and attend to his. lrS ON THE r yiilpiAY i,roblem- ;h - ' r? -.1 i . - But what does the Harrlman epl- !,' Bode prove? Two years ago he or ft', his lieutenants ordered the road ex tended from Drain to Coos Bay. Tho whole country became interested be cause the extension of the road to Coos Bay meant the opening up of a new seaport and development of a vast area of country which must re main undeveloped until that seaport is opened. Was the order to build from Drain made in good faith or was It a bit of strategy intended to throw other railroad companies off tho track, so to speak? Certainly, Mr. Harrlman's business sense was as acute Jn 1906 as in 1908. If his decision to build depends on his be ing shown that the investment will net four per cent, then he either must have been convinced in 1906 that the Investment would pay that percen tage, or his order was only a blind. Did the committee call his attention to the fact that in 1906 he gave an order which, according to his own logic, showed that he was satisfied then, that the road would pay four per cent? Did they show him that the business had increased since? Probably not, because the committee was composed of men who knew they were simply up against an expert railroad chess player who had this moves all in his own hand. Now the fact Is that Harrlman in 190G did not intend to build his road to Coos Bay unless he was forced to do so by the Western Pacific, the Northwestern or tho Hill interests. The Western Pacific has been pocket ed and nothing seems active in the direction of the Hill or Northwestern Interests now. From Portland to Coos Bay or from San Francisco to Coos Bay is cheaper by water than it could be by rail. From Coos Bay by rail to the Rogue river valley, to any part of Southern Oregon or to the south half of the Willamette val ley would be comparatively little and tho transportation rates would result in a decided loss to tho Harrlman lines as now operated. The people of Coos Bay may rest assured that they will not get a road from Drain unless they are about to be favored by some other combina tion. Two years ago it was believed the Harrlman Interests wanted to bridge tho bay. Thnt also was mere ly a ruse. Even tho filing of a plan for a pile bridge with the war depart ment was a "fake." No such bridge was over intended for the simple reason that for forty years tho gov ernment haB not permitted any ex cept a high bridge to span its navig able tldo wnter Inlets. It was not likely to suspend Its rule two years ago, and the Harrlman people knew 8 8 ? 8 t 8 8 It. But tho demand served to work tho people of Coos Bay up to opposi tion and factional bitterness. It be came North Bond against Marshileld and Marshflold against North Bend, all to help out tho arch railroad manipulator and over nothing. Had the joko been big enough to notice, Mr. Harrlman would have laughed In his sleove. Pity tho people did not call the bluff then and "let tho bridge bo built." A unanimous ro qucBt would not have compassed it. The Drain road was not proposed in good faith. Another thing, Coos Bay might ns well understand. No raload will over bo built into Coos Bay. When Harrlman gets ready to build ho will not begin at Drain or Roseburg, but will commenco just where Graham did and build out. Tho Hill lines will not build Into Coos V 8 I 8 t 8 ( tx V 8 8 I 8 8 Bay. They will first get their ter minals and then build out. Tho same Is true of any other transcon tinental road. That Is what the Grand Trunk will do at Prince Ru pert. It is what the Northern Pacific did at Tacoma, the Great Northern at Everett, tho Central Pacific at San Francisco and the Southern Pacific at San Diego. Tho tremendous impor tance of opening up a seaport will be come evident when tho first railroad goes out of Coos Bay. The people here can well afford to help a railroad by a donation of va cant lots, for when a railroad with backing and substance begins to build out, it will force the hands of several Interests which have their eyes on Coos Bay. Southern, Central and Eastern Oregon need Coos Bay and they will never be able to obtain the facilities for their proper develop ment until the harbor of Coos Bay Is made available to them. We may well extend our tranks to the com mittee and hope that Harrlman will keep quiet for a while.
