Pro Bono Publico Presents
Further Views On Trans
portation Question.
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.
