WOULD PAY
ancis H. Clark Writes Article
For Portland jurnal On
Railway.
Francis H. Clarko of Marshfield,
Coos Bay, who has been In Portland
some days end whoso article in The
Journal re, atly on tho value of
Portland's coastwise trade attracted
much attention among Portland
business men, makes the following
striking statement of tho reasons
why tho Southern Pacific could not
lose money or business by building
the Coos Bay-Drain railroad:
"The Journal of the 3d Instant
contained an article entitled 'Road to
C003 Would Cut Harriman Profits.'
The theory of the writer seems to be
that the freight to Eugene, Roseburg,
Medford, Ashland, Jacksonville,
Grants Pass and other southern Ore
gon towns would go by water from
San Francisco and Portland rather
than over Mr. Harriman's rails.
""This, he argues, would cut down tho
rates now charged so radically that
tho Southern Pacific would lose
rather than gain by openiirg the
southern Oregon seaport over the
Drain or any other routo. There
fore, it is concluded, Mr. Harriman,
being a business man, will not build
a railroad to Coos Bay.
Another Sldo of Question.
"''There Is another Bide, however, to
this question which should not be
overlooked. Although it may bo ad
mitted that If there were no other
facts than those stated in the article
- upon which to base an opinion, the
conclusion would be correct, yet
there are so many other Important
facts which should be considered, It
may be emphatically asserted that It
- would be unbusinesslike for Mr. Har-
' rlman not to build the Coos Bay line.
"While admitting that freight
rates to Coos Bay and all southern
Oregon cities will be greatly reduced
through wnter competition, yet tho
Increase In business between all way
'stations and over the extension to tho
Boa would be so greatly accelerated,
"Immediately, as to more than offset
the loss which the article in question
apprehends. Mr. Harriman is wellf
aware of these facts and it is a cer
tainty that ho will build into or out
of Coos Bay in less than another
year. He may not complete his road
within that time, but it Is a safe
prophecy that he will rush it.
Rich Region With Railroad.
The reasons for expecting the Coos )
bay extension to pay not merely 4
per cent on $5,000,000, but much
moro are as plain as tho vast re
sources which exist In Coos Bay's
tributary country. The first of these
reasons is that from the fortyfourth
parallel of InUlude south to the Cali
fornia line, a distance of 150 miles
'aB tho crow files,' a yast and oxtre
mely rich region is within 40 miles of
the ocean and has no railroad or any
other convenient or commercial way
of getting to tho sea and cheap water
transportation.
"Its people must go from 100 to
S40 miles to reach the outside world
through Portland, and 400 to 4G0
miles to reach It through San Fran
cisco. That is 'as the crow files.'
But the extended rails over which
transportation miiBt bo paid tor are
many times greater in longth.
"The Coos Bay line from Drain
would bo about 70 miles in extent.
What would its business consist of?
Tho Journal article suys in eltect
that the business of the district
would bo diverted from tho long haul
to the sea through Portland fcy instal
lation of the short haul to the slm,
through Coos Bay and it is claimed
the loss would be $1,000,000 annual
ly. This is only partly true, but it J
'a evident to tho moBt casunl obsorver
ihut enough new business would
develop to offset and greatly exceed
that loss to the full measure of vory
large profits.
l'cl illation Is Increasing.
"The counties of Coos, Curry,
Jackson, Josephino, Douglas nnd
Lnne aro all nearer to Coos Bay,
geographically, than to their present
water outlets, Theso counties in
4 900 had a population of about S0,
000 people and at present have more
than 140,000 people. They aro In
creasing rapidly. All of them hn.va
unusual resources. Great mines,
rtqi t agricultural nnd grazing arras,
gront forests of fir, spruce and cedar,
great fruit and dairy products, and
In Coos and Curry there nre great
deposits of excellent coal.
"Tho 140,000 people, in whose
keeping theso resources have been
slightly developed, find no difficulty
in cettlng a market or all they co
aapio rates, h.
La ..1
MnMllritrln""lifi ' redS?
' JatP
ysa
dent that development is necessarily
limited. One hundred and forty
thousand people demand a short
road to the sea. Thousands of tlit'in
will never go the distance to Port
land or San Francisco. The sarao
thousands would, as they do every
where else In America, make the
short trip to the sea to find a market
and a cheap waterway.
"Tho Coos Bay line would also
sand thousands of tons of freight
monthly to market which it is not
now profitable to pay the freight on.
The people of Lane and Douglas
counties would find the seaport city
of Coos Bay a great market for their
fruit and produce. The Bawmllls of
the timbered country some of the
very greatest being now located at
Coos Bay have attracted a large
population which must be fed from
the interior counties. Commission
houses at Coos Bay ould handle the
surplus of the fruit, dairy, agricul
tural and ment products which the
Willamette, Siuslaw, Umpqua, Co
quille and Rogue river valleys must
now allow to go to waste.
Freight From Local Mines.
"It Is not alone the needs of 120,
000 people outside of Coos and Curry
counties which makes a railroad con
nection with Coos Bay a sure profit
earner. Coos and Curry counties
aro rich in products which must be
sent to the interior. The coal mines
within a radius of 25 miles of Coos
Bay produce a quality of coal not
equaled on the coast south of Puget
Sound. Except at Coos Bay there is
no coal on the Pacific coast or with
in 1,000 miles of it south of the
sound. Tho 120,000 people of Lane,
Douglas, Jackson and Josephine
counties want this coal. They can
get it directly from Coos Bay and
there is an Immense tonnage of sach
coal ready for the Coos Bay line.
"It may ho said that this Is not a
statement of the possibilities in fig
ures. It is easy enough for anyone
to figure that 120,000 'pooplo will
need enough coal to warrant the
building of a road 70 miles for that
commodity alone. It is not possible
to point to any other part of the
United States whero such a poula
tlon, such an obvious necessity and
such supplies for the necessity, are
poorly accommodated. Nor is it pos
sible to find such a combination
where a railroad would not be re
garded as little short of a bonanza.
Population Would Double.
"Tho conclusion is that such a road
would so open the resources of the
Interior and the coast alike that the
population of southern Oregon, with
the embargo of extensive transporta
tion removed, would double, treble
and quadruple In a very short space.
The development would be as rapid
as ever astonished the world in
Wa8hln8ton or Oklahoma
On the
present population and development
of southern Oregon alone a city of
40,000 is justified at Coos Bay the
moment proper transportation facili
ties are provided.
"On the development of southern
Oregon such as a railroad would in
sure, the way traffic would become
enormous on the entire main line.
The building of a large city at Coos
Bay would be supplemented by build
ing Eugene, Roseburg, Jacksonville,
Ashland, Medford, Grants Pass, Co
qullle, Bandon and Myrtle Point into
places of far greater Importance than
now. As for Portland, her coastwise
commerce with Coos Bay and coast
towns between would be far more
valuable than her commerce with
some foreign countries. Coos Bay
would he to Portland what Duluth
Is to St. Paul and Minneapolis, what
Milwaukee Is to Chicago, what Bos
ton Is to New York,
"Mr. Harriman knows all these
conditions and he knows that no fig
uring i3 necessary to show that the
Coos Bay line would pay much more
than 4 per cent on $5,000,000 al
though the estimated cost of the
road from Drain has been understood
to bo 13,500,000 Instead of ?5,000,
000. Such conditions elsowhere were
never loft unexploited. Mr. Harri
man's reason for not building aro not
tho prospect of losses for no such
prospects oxist."

Girl Spiritualist Kills So'f After Pro

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 15. Curious
to learn of tho. other planes of life,
which she bolieved to exist beyond
this world, Miss Edith Ronkln,
twenty-six yours old, cashier in a lo
cal restaurant, committed suicide
with poison.
Miss Ronkln was an ardent student
of works on spiritual subjects. She
frequently told her friends that she
would Hko to advance to the "next
stage." Shu had n religion In which
reincarnation figured to a certain ex
tent, nnd on soveral occasions she

suicide club nnd all commit suicide
in order to pass to tho othor

El BEST?
Many Ladies Express Opinions
On An Always Interesting
Topic'
BERLIN, Oct. 14. A dally pa
per hero asked a number of women
at what age they think woman is at
her best. There were many and va
rious opinions expressed, but the ma
jority seemed to think that woman
Is at her best between the ages of
25 and 30. One woman said:
"Women talk most before 25, be
cause that Is tho time when they
aro young and when they think them
selves pretty. At that age a woman
makes a poor friend. She Is too self
ish to be a good one, and she is too
intolerant to deserve friendship."
"A woman of 30," says another,
"Is to be preferred because she Is
more thoughtful and knows what
she can and what she cannot accom
plish." One answer was that a woman of
25 is at her best because she stands
between the llght-heartedness of
youth and the seriousness of age. An
old woman said that the best age
Is when one is useful, but she ad
mitted thah at 25 a woman is most
attractive, for at that time she is
in the epoch of hope, after which life
becomes merely a reminiscence.
"I think," wrote a marrlod wom
an, "that the best age of woman is
between 30 and 40, because at that
age she has experienced and knows
the world. If married, she knows
then how to bo happy and how to
make others so. The frivolity of
youth Is less intense and she becomes
quiet and peaceful. If unmarried,
the woman at thaage is capable of
being a good friend and comrade of
her masculine acquaintances. She
can giro good, sensible advice. Men
can then confide in her and esteem
her greatly as a friend."
The paper In which these views
were published, however, remarks:
"We should not advise men to be
come so very chummy with women,
of 30 or 40, because, after all, as
long as a woman is young enough
to be a charming friend, she Is still
dangerous."
