Editor Times: Like the irate man who lost tho race at the English Derby and in an attempt to hit an enemy with a brick bat, by mistake hit Lord Mncauley In tho eye, I feel quite badly to find that Mr. William Grimes instead of the man Intended was hit by the letter to you signed "Pro Bono Publico." In this letter I will aim at Mr. Grimes and may hope to satisfy him that I have hit the other fellow. I should say in ho beginning that Coos Hay wants the Southern Pacific railroad from Drain or anywhere else, but by relying on the voice of the siren she may loso many good things by not attending to them herself. The wagoner whoso wheol had Btuck in tho mud flopped down on his knees and prayed Her cules to pull tho wagon out, but the God told him to put his own shoul ders to the wheel and then Hercules would help him. My letter was In tended to propose that onough had now been done and to say that a great work had been accomplished In unmasking the truth which is that tho Southern Pacific had no In tention of building to Coos Day un less forced to by soino other road. Tho moral was work to get some other rond and let tho Southern Pa cific go to whatever place It must. Tho letter which roused tho Colo nel did not belittle tho committee which waited on Mr. Harrlman. It was not Intended so to do. No apo logies aro offered to Colonel Grimes or tho committee for anything said, for what was said was to their credit and not otherwise. In fact tho duty which thoy performed was ono of great importance and could not havo been performed more generously or hotter. Still It would be humiliating to havo to ond another committee without regard to who attended to tho matter of expense to supplicate Mr. Harrlman to como in hero when wo now know that a four per cent guaranty Is what he wants nnd thnt ho won't take short of that unless the waterfront would be a good sub stitute. From these expressions- Mr. Gri mes can easily see that I was not "satisfied" that the committee was a "set of chumps." I have heard of some very bright men, though, who felt like "chumps" after a pleasant talk with the wiley wizzard about 'his affairs." The people of Coos Bay have felt like chumps ever since Mr. Harrlman promised them a road two years ago. The people of Ore gon have felt like chumps ever since Mr. Harrlman showed how easy It was to earn profits on roads in this state and spend them building roads to Seattle. Governor Chamberlain must have felt like a chump when he went over to Klamath to see the magnate, but Governor Chamberlain did not havo to stay feeling like a chump for he recommended that the people of Oiegon stop feeling likt a "set of chumps," and get busy with a state road or state aid or taxes, If Harrlman didn't come through." Sometime perhaps the peoplo of the United States will bo satisfied that they aro a set of chumps to sub mit to a king, crowned by a lot of Wall street brokers, even if he does show a vast capacity for swallowing and digesting tho people's utilities. It may bo Col. Grimes believes Mr. Harriman intends to send a man down here to figure out how ho can make four per cent on an Investment of $3,000,000. I boliove it, too, It Is not bad policy to bellevo it, but it is a peculiar kind of belief which must rebt on an absonco of faith. After some years of observation, I find that tho best way to form an esftIinato of what the railroad king will do Is to guess what he won't do and then take what comes. I thought I made my idea plain onough. Let mo ropeat It In u different form. I am always optimistic. I bellevo Mr. Harrlman will como hero, not to pro vide a feeder for his system and cer tainly not to accommodate or oven to placate tho people, but because some othor lines may tako a notion to open this seaport, nnd with It central anfl soutlirn Oregon. Mr. Harrlman novor opens anything un less he sees somebody olso will do it and then ho frequently gets there. I bojlovo tho peoplo of Coos Bay have a very great future but thank God it doesn't depond on a road from Cooa Bay to Drain it into Wall street. Tho Almighty has constructed a great hlglnyay into Coos Bay. Great ships can reach tno Marshflold waterfront and discharge their cargoes hero when the channel is dredged. Hap pily, through the efforts of such men as Messrs. Mingus, Grimes and Oren a dredge is on its way hither and will be retained here. I can see that, even If no railroad should be built by Mr. Harrlman, if wo attend to what the Almighty has given us and do not feel that we must feed all our substance to the dragon, we may hope to have as largo a city as Is beautiful Eureka on Humbolt Bay. There, 14,000 people have done won ders without a railroad. They have done it without the coal which Coos Bay has. Thev have done It with only half such a bay as we have. Again I say that I appreciate Col. Grimes much and firmly believe the committee has done a service to Coos Bay by inducing Mr. Harrlman to send a man down hero to report on the, situation. I believe Mr. Mlllis could do it just as well, and doubt if Harrlman has a better man In his service, but I suppose he Is only a Cooa Baylte now and has to dwlndlo with the rest of us in Mr. Harrinian's jackpot. At any rate Mr. Grimes will excuse us If we decline to make Harrlman and his promises a tenet of our religious faith. PRO BONO PUBLICO. DIAMOND IN HEN'S CRAW LEADS TO LEGAL FIGHT Judge Claims Gem Which AVomnn Found While Preparing Chicken Potplc. SPRINGFIELD, Mo., Sept. 10. There Is a lively legal battle for tho possession of a diamond which Mrs. W. A. Ball found in the craw of ono. of her Plymouth Rock hens whon she killed it for a Sunday dinner.

The Judge paid a casual visit to tho jewelry store and the gem dealer showed him the diamond, telling him the remarkablo story of how it was found in tho craw of Mrs. Ball's Ply mouth Rock hen. '"Why, that's out of my ring," said tho Judge, "I lost it in my garden." Tho jeweller took tho Judge's word for it and handed him tho diamond. Now Mrs. Ball has sued for posses sion of tho gem and tho Judgo says ho will fight the case.
