X ft b -I r" f i v I f ( H I1- -'fe I I IS DISCUSSED TIMES READER SAYS THAT LOCAL LINE WAS OVER CAPI TALIZED AND EXPLAINS CON DITIONS. Editor Times, In your Issue of the ISth inst., tinder the head-lines of "Annual Re port of Railroad," you publish the statement filled by the Coos Bay Roseburg and Eastern railway, and comment Justly that the statement is misleading, which It is indeed, nnd ought not be let go abroad with out being investigated by the state railroad commissioners. And when it is found to have been made for the purpose to mislead the public now engaged with the invest igation of what the cost of a similar railroad would be per mile between here and Roseburg, fully and better equipped for passenger accommoda tions. And that it is intended to dis courage the people of Coos, Douglas and the other adjacent counties which will be benefited by the rail road and who are now planning to take the proposition up to build their own railroad as are the farmers now doing in eastern Washington. Then in that case, the commis sioners should be asked to have the Coos Bay-Roseburg & Eastern Rail road Company file a corrected state ment which the people of the coun ties interested, and the many read ers of the Dally Coos Bay Times throughout the eastern states, will find to read as follows, viz.: 31. 3G miles of main line ana febtfrB ,1)1 operation. The original' cOStJH&BB 000, and accumulated interests, and robalastlng of the road bed $67t000, making the total c st how made a funded debt against the road of $025,000. Thus it must be made clear to the public that If the Coos Bay-Roseburg & Eastern railroad has suffered the corporate loss of $23,555.13 on Its misleading statement of the cost of the road as being ?2, 900,221. 95, that when the loss Is to be estimated on Mr. Harrlman's four-per-cent "basis of Interests or profits, he has a net jrofit of $67,445.75, or close on to 11 per cent interest or profit on the original cost of the C. 0. R. & E. R. R. This statement can bo verjfled by practical railroad builders now Jiv ing In Coos Bay and county, who will give a bond to build for the people a railroad of such castoff . light weight rails and equipment as the Coos Bay-Roseburg & Eastern rail road is built at the cost of $20,000 per mile, and of modern railroad construction and equipment $23,000 a mile between heie and Roseburg. The time has come that the peo ple will not stand for such mislead ing statements. The 140,000 people now living In the district to be bene fited by a railroad between here and Roseburg, will come together as did the farmers of the Walla Walla, Washington district, and organize themselves into the Coos Bay-Roseburg, Boise and Eastern Railroad Company. Their labor for grading and fur nishing ties, is half the capital, thus if it becomes necessary.' can be bond- r ed as does Harriuian, and the rails n.ifl t.ilMnrr otnlr frti ttwi nm.l Mt.lnnt ' will bo secured, and by leaving Mr. Harrlman's water out of the capital stock, the farmers and shippers rail road will pay a dividend of 25 per cent on the actual cost of the equip ment of such n railroad.

The proposed railroad from Drain to Marshfleld runs through a portion of this tract. The dairying and fruit lands will be subject to the homestead act, but the timber lands can only be taken under the timber and stone act. A peculiar feature of this opening is that squatters' rights will be recog- jnized. After December 31, persons may settle on the land and prepare 'to make It their home. The rights of such persons will be recognized as prior to those who file on January 20. It is expected that there will be a rush for the choice tracts In this land when It Is opened.

FUG Followed Bottner's New Driver to Church, Drew Family Home as For 20 Years. NEW YORK, Nov. 19. There's life In old Dobbin yet; pride and Jealousy fill the blood of the faith ful roan horse that for twenty years has drawn Cyrus Bottner and his family to the Dutch Reformed church in Clinton, N. J. Some of the younger Buttners got ashamed to drive to church behind shabby old Dobbin, so last week Mr. Bottner bought a spirited horBe that ho'ds its head high and has fine action. When he harnessed the new horse to the fanllly carryall last Sun day, Dobbin, furious, kicked splint ers from the stde3 of Its stall and tried to break Its halter. But the Bottners drove away, heedless of the dumb pretest, which said as plainly as a horse can say. "Do you, ungrateful ones, cast off a faithful old servant for a new one?" Service had scarcely begun when the Bottners and other worshippers jwere disturbed by loud neighing and prancing at the church entrance. .Several men went to the door, and one returning, whispered to Bottner: I "Your o.d horse has followed you." i i Going out, Bottner patted Dob bin's head, but that did not satisfy the horse. It ran to the shed back of the church. Immediately picked out the family rig and rubbed Its head against it so pleadingly that Bottner, was touched. I I He took the new horse out of the 'shafts and harnessed Dobbin in them. And, after church, it was Dobbin that drew the "carryall back .home, Dobbin revivified, full of gin ger, frisky as a colt, so happy was It. And a young Bottner in the back of the carriage led the new horse. I Dobbin, by mighty effort, had broken its halter 'and -pushed open the barn doors, which for years have not been locked on It, IF WE SHOULD SELL YOU T t i A Stsel Rasisre at AND GIVE YOU 10 Per Cent Discount for Cash i WOULD YOU BUY IT?
