Col. Wm. Grimes Answers
"Pro Bono Publico" About
Railway Matter.
Editor Times: I read an article In
Tho Times of last evening, signed by
a citizen calling himself "Pro Bono
Publico," as to tho railroad situation
at this place. I re-read tho article
to see the point that "Bono" was try
ing to make. After careful perusal
and study of the article, I camo to
the conclusion that "Bono" was
"satlsflei" that the committee that
visited Mr. Harrlman was a set of
chumps; that if we had consulted
"Bono" he could have saved us a
tiresome and expensive trip.
Now, "Bono" Is not a bad fellow
and has, on occasions done many
things to help tho Interests of the
city, but In this Instance ho seems to
have taken pains to belittle the com
mittee and their efforts to Interest
Mr. Harrlman in constructing his
projected line to Coos Bay. That
part of his article would have very
little Impression on any member of
the committee if It did not have a
tendency to go further with a cer
tain class of citizens. Things of ma
terial Interest to a city or commu
nity are secured by the earnest en
thusiasm and hopefulness of a united
citizenship. Such articles and con
clusions as are reached by such men
as "Bono," have a tendency to throw
cpld water on every project that Is
suggested or brought forward for tho
Interest of a community.
I might suggest to "Bono" and
his kind that the committee that did
go to meet Mr. Harrlman went with
out any expense to him, the Chamber
of Commerce or any citizen, except
themselves. The committee met Mr.
Harrlman in his private car and tra
veled with him to Eugene by invita
tion; this was given to tho press here
as was it also published in all the
Portland papers. The committee felt
"no gratitude" for themselves bo
cause they were invited to ride with
Mr. Harrlman, but grateful to Mr.
Harrlman for the consideration he
gave to tho petitioners in behalf of
Coos Bay and its interests.
Dr. Mingus ably presented to Mr.
Harrlman and his associates" the pos
sibilities of Coos Bay, the Interest
that has recently been taken by the
government and the citizens of
Marshfleld in bettering the conditions
of the harbor. Also, Mr. Oren told
them of tho wonderful timber re
sources surrounding and tributary to
the Bay, the probable tonnage that
tho C. A. Smith Lumber and Manu
facturing Company would alone fur
nish. All of this seemed to interest
Mr. Harrlman, as well as Mr. Calvin,
the vice-president of tho Western
System of tho Southern Pacific, as
well as Mr. O'Brien, who has chargo
of transportation In Oregon. Both
Mr. Calvin and Mr. O'Brien in this
conversation expressed a desire to
visit Coos Bay in the near future, and
by invitation fromtho committee,
said they would dp ,so. When tho
committee stated to Mr. Harrlman
that they could not in detail or tech
nically glvo him tho information that
ho desired as to tonnage and traffic
sufficient to meet his requirements as
to bond Interest, and that ho should
send a representative personally to
look into such things and also to seo
tho natural resources and possibil
ities of our bay and country, ho readi
ly agreed to do so.
Mr. Harrlman and associates im
pressed overy member of that com
mittee that thoy were earnest In their
intentions to build tho road to Coos
Bay and that Immediately, if thoy
found conditions to justify It.
Tho committeo that visited Mr.
Harrlman will bo ready to report
next Friday night at tho Chamber of
Commerce and will glvo all tho do
talls and impressions of that visit.
Wo deslro "Bono" to bo presont nnd
seo if wo cannot convince him that
it is necessary to boost all proposi
tions and all persons that are llkoly
to help us.
Such men as you "Bono" said that
"tho streets could not bo paved in
Marshflold becauso there was no
foundation, that thoro was nothing
horo but mud flats," ct wo nro
building nnd paving miles of stroots.
It was such as you that said, that
"brick, stouo or cement buildings
could not bo built piling could not
reach far enough to secure n founda
tion," yot a Quarter of million of dol
lars have, In tho last year gone luto
buch edifices to tho credit of tho citi
zens that built them, as woll as tho
advancement of tho city's lntorest.
"Bono" or his kind said last year,
when a group of cltlzons said thoy
were going to build a hotel thnt
vojU1 bo a crodlt to tho city, that
NORTH BEND NEWS
PIONEER VISITS 1IANDON.
B. S. Burney made a business trip
to Glasgow Monday.
Tho North Bend mill shut down
Monday that the employes might
celebrate Labor Day.
Mrs. Geo. Bolster of North Bend,
will spend a few days this week with
friends In Marshfleld.
Misses Lizzie and Genevieve Tellef
son of Eastsldo, were the guests yes
terday of Mrs. J. J. Burns.
The small child of Mr. and Mrs.
Sherman Cutlip of Daniels Creek, is
seriously ill threatened with diphthe
ria. Tho North Bend public schools
opened yesterday with a full quota
of teachers and a large attendance
of pupils.
Mrs. Thomas Johnson nnd chil
dren of Broadway, Marshfleld, are
spending a few days with relatives in
North Bend.
Mrs. H. T. Bruce a.nd daughter,
Miss Lenore, arrived on tho Alliance
from Portland to visit Mr. and Mrs.
Hayes Temple.
Miss Edith Allger, who won the
boat race Labor Day was in the con
test a year ago and would have won
at that tlmo except for accidental
collisions.
Mr. and Mrs. Thos Holland of
Marshfleld, will leave shortly for
California where they will spend the
winter. Mrs. Holland has been In
poor health for some time and hopes
the climatic change may prove bene
ficial. The Swedish Lutherans have com
pleted tho organization of a con
gregation hero and will soon be
gin tho erection of a church on the
site opposite Lincoln Park, which
Mayor Simpson donated to them a
year ago.
"they never would build it, its all a
bluff" In face of the fact that there
was a money panic on and not even
enough money could be secured to
buy a boat ticket to get out of the
country, yet If "Bono" will look in
the right direction he will see being
constructed a five story building that
Is not only a credit to Marshfleld but
a credit to any town five times its
size.
It was "Bono" or his kind that
said, "what's the use of trying to
m,eet tho requirements of the govern
ment as to the dredger, that it was
a hold up, and had our representa
tives done their duty wo could have
had It without any trouble, etc." But
a determined citizenship said, wo are
going to overcome that obstacle, so
In about three days time the commit
tee had more than enough pledged to
meet tho requirement of the govern
ment, and the dredger secured and
ordered to Coos Bay. So on down
tho line might I mention many
thjngs that have been done by a pro
gressive citizenship. The citizens of
this town aro awake to tholr duty
and there Is not enough of the
"Bonos" to stop it. Wo are going to
have a railroad in tho near future
and it Is going to be secured by the
asking, pushing and progressive spi
rit of tho people.
