FORECASTS DANGER
FROM ANY DELAY
Declares That Terminals Here
Will Be of Prime impor
tance to Road.
Col. W. H. Holablrd, the special
representative sent by E. H. Harrl
man to Coos Bay last fall to ascer
tain if a railroad to this section
would pay, made a report urging the
immediate construction of the line
and paid a glowing tribute to the
possibilities of this section. Mr.
Holablrd's detailed report will be
sent here soon. '
Walter Lyon who secured the re
ioit from Mr. Harrlman In order to
present it to Congress to urge the ne
cessity of improving the Bay, today
malle'd the following extrnetp from
the report to the ilarlifleld Cham
ber of Commerce and promised to
.send the remainder of it as soon as
he can have it copied:
"The country is too rich In latent
resources to be kept down. Its har
Lor will be made more and more Im
pel 'ant with a deeper channel. A
large government dredge Is now In
the harbor ready to begin widening
.and deepening the channel. I am as
.ready to show the disadvantages of
ai section that I Investigate, but at
the pame time cannot shut my eyes
to the probable luturo of the Coos
Ray region.
"The entire country, save th" 11m
it3rt bottom lands, is covered by vast
forobtt..
"Coal underlies a large area.
"A romarkably mild ciiniace, with
but -little irost. '
"A fertile soil, with great fruit
growing possibilities.
"Already the third country on ilio
Pacific Coast in dairy production.
"The harbor is one ol the best on
the Coast and when the channel on
the bar Is deepened by lengthening
the jetty, will .have thirty feet of
water at mean high tide.
"The danger in delay Jn building a
railroad Into Marshfleld lies In the
possibility, If not the probability,
persons or corporations unfriendly
to our interests may get the only de
sirable right of way entrance Into
.North Bend and Marshfleld. Should
the Southern Pacific Company ever
build, terminal facilities arc of
jilmo importance, and 'the, difficul
ties In the way of securing such ter
minals and the Increase In cost, are
increasing every day."

City Council Plans to Safe

The question of fixing Broadway
streets so that the Dulk-hends will
not spread apart when the dredge
pumps the soft mud In there; from
the bottom of the "bay vraB -discussed
at length last evening. It seems that
the bnllc-Tiead as put In was not
staked down or not fastened to
trether so that they will not spread.
Even If this had been done, Capt.
Peters of the drqdge Oregon is in
doubt -whether It would "hold. He
believes the best thing to do would
be to put a couple of feet of fir
boughs and limbs of trees In the
bottom of the street and then pump
"the mud on top of them. He took
the matter up with Mayor Straw
who referred It to a special meeting
ol the crnmcfl last night. There is
a slight surplus In the fund but j
