The Oregon-Idaho Development Congress has recognized the great truth that tho neglected area of Cen tral Oregon, Southern Idaho and the Oregon coast, needs and must have railroads. It has convened primarily for the purpose of discussing and, If possible, providing ways and means for the purpose of obtaining these necessities of civilization. Within a few days of Its assembling, John P. Stevens, a famous engineer and un derstood to bo the advance agent of J. J. Hill and those interests which Hill represents, announces the build ing of a railroad from the North Bank road South to Central Oregon. He proclaims, at the same time, the end of tho Isolation In which the people of tho section mentioned, have 8uffered. But the railroad proposed by the magnate does not supply the demand which tho isolated districts have voiced and aro voicing In this con gress. It Is a great road which Is proposed by Stevens and it taps a marvellous country. It is evidently designed to connect Spokane with San Francisco and It keeps as far away from tho menace of the ocean and cheap water transportation ns possible. It Is In lino with the pur pose and plan of Mr. Hill to build up a number of Interior distribu tion points which will still keep the people submissive to the demands of tho LONG HAUL. Altho' all should welcome the now road as a boon to Oregon tho great states of Idaho and Oregon should not In the least abato their efforts to obtain an east and west road connecting Coos Bay with Boise. That is the road which will not only develop Central Oregon, but also Southern Idaho and the Coast of Oregon. That Is the road which will connect the people of the ompiro which is nbout to be opened to settlement with cheap water transportation at Coos Bay and with tho ocean and all tho great seaports of tho world. Tho Panama canal, it should bo boruo In mind, has completely revo lutionized railroading In the west. Tho people of tho coast do not fully realize what has happenod. Hitherto the American Pacific has been tho most distant and romoto part of the world, from a railroad and Invest ment point of vluw. From New York to Coos Bay Is, without the canal, approximately 14,000 miles. Tho cnnal cuts down tho dlstanco more than ouo-hnlf and mnkos It In tho neighborhood of G.0OO miles. Freight rates by water can never bo met by railroads and never have been met. You can bring a load of furniture from Boston to Coos Bay when tho canal Is completed for one third whnt It costs to bring It from Grand Rapids or Chicago today. You can lo tho Btuno with stool from New York. If Contral Oregon and Ida ho aro to have tho advautago of this cheap wator transportation they can only got it by tho Coos Bay, Oregon and Idaho railroad. Tho Times has heard curious ob jections to tho railroad proposed by tho Congress. Ono man said that ho would pull off his coat and work day and night to help this road get a right of way, If ho know It was eonnoctod with any great trunk lino. That gontlomnn ought to know that tt Is connected with A GREAT TRUNK LINE tho greatest In tho world. It Is not merely a transcon tinental but It Is au Intercontinen tal. It Is controlled and oporated by a greater magnate than any la ni is PLEASED IRE Former Congressman Says Development In Three Years Is Remarkable. "If I had dropped down here out of an airship, I wouldn't have recog nized this city as the Marshfleld of three years ago as I remember It from my Inst visit," said Blnger Hermann of Roseburg, former con gressman from this district, who ar rived here today to speak before the Oregon-Idaho Development Con gress. "I was out to the Fair here for a couple of hours one day last year but I have not seen Marshfleld's business district for over three years The advancement Is remarkable. You people who live here don't realize the transformation. And I am glnd of it for I have always had a warm spot In my heart for Coos county and Coos Bay. The development of the Coos Bay hnrbor is something I be gan preaching years ago and I am happy to say that I aided in starting the work." Mr. Hermann came overland from Hoseburg, stopping at the old' home near Myrtle Point for a short visit en route. This morning, he met many old time friends at the Chandler hotel. S. B. Cathcart, who has known hirfl sence boyhood was one of the number. Others dropped In and It was a great reunion. Mr. Her mann said that it wasn't certain yet whether the fiftieth anniversary of tho arrival of the Baltimore colony, which was headed by his father, In the Coqullle Valley, would be cele brated this year. LEANS DEFEAT FATS FRIDAY I For Development J " 1 a j tt n II n 1 and improvement I tt :: : H - :. 1 I 53 Mf of all manly figures 1 I tt A- 1-& Stl tt I NORTH BEND NEWS i Miss Nellie Major of Eastslde, was a North Bend shopper yesterday. Mrs. Win. Vaughn and Mrs. E Vaughn were shopping In Marshfleld yesterday. Mrs. T. McDonald of Eastslde, is quite ill at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Vineyard. It is expected that the North Bend Lumber Company's mill will resume operations next week. The schooner Advent was towed In yesterday and will load at the Porter mill. Mrs. E. E. Biggs and Miss Goldie Riggs loft yesterday for a short visit with Mrs. Biggs' parents, Mr. and Mrs. Peterson, at May. Mrs. W. F. Bodo, who has been very 111 of typhoid fever at L. J. Simpson home, was removed to the Brown home last evening. The Revival meetings which havo been conducted at the United Breth ren church for tho past two weeks by the Rev. It. G. Summerlln, will close tonight. C. H. Farrlss and wire, Mrs. J. Day or San Francisco, Henry I. Reese and wife and Lloyd and Gladys loft yesterday to camp on North Coos River for a week. Tho Reynolds mill on Pony Inlet, which has been closed down for somo time undergoing repairs, will resume operations next wook. It will om ploy nbout thirty men and a like number In tho logging camps. Tho contract with tho box factory will Insure a steady run for over a year. merica. It is the boundless ocean whoso cheap water offerings roll In to swamp all unjust rates. The for- mor baso of railroads was tho Atlan tic. All railroads ran to tho Atlan tic. They wont to feed Its business as the lines dropped from Mr. Hill's main lino Teed that. Now tho open ing or tho Panama canal extends the sea board of tho Atlantic through tho canal, up the Pacific and straight to Bolllngham Bay. It makes Coos Bay nearor to New York City, Boston, Baltimore and tho capitals ot Eu rope, than Kansas City. Omahn, St. Paul and Minneapolis. Not nearer for passenger service but nenrcr lor cheap wator freight transportation. In other words It makes no such difference as It formerly did, wheth er wo aro connected up with a mnin trunk lino of railroad, or not,. If wo aro connected up with the oceau our road will not only bo a boon to tho people ot tho Jntorlor but will bo a great Investment. It Is better to bo a feeder for tho Almighty's highway than for a trunk lino which caunot possibly compete with that highway, Tho Coos Bay.. Oregon and Idaho Railroad will be built, If the people of the those states will do their duty and complete tho survey, profiles and estimates and keep up tho splendid spirit shown by this Cougross. Heavy Players Couldn't Run Bases But Otherwise Out played Opponents. Tho Leans defeated the Fats at the Depot ball grounds yesterday aft ernoon by a score of 12 to 11. There was a good attendance despite the counter attraction of the excursion to the beach and everyone got more than his money's worth. Pitcher Burkhart of the Fats, who was unable to reduce his weight to below 342 pounds lasted only five in nings. On the start, he pitched some classy ball and had all the Leans guessing. Pitcher Denning or the Leans, lasted it out although he was hit pretty hard. Had it not been Tor the ordeal or base running, the result might have been different. Burkhart was un able to make the run between first and second in less than a minute and a hair. Owing to many or the would-be players not being given a chance to show their ability, a second game Is being arranged and may be pulled off this afternoon. The ex-players demonstrated the Tact that time has not taken the warm red blood trom the veins or those who again donned the uniform of the great national game. True, the players all showed lack of practice but the old-time spirit and earnestness was there and no one left the grounds disappointed. At times the playing on both teams even became brilliant. Many of Marshfleld's visitors attended the game and expressed themselves as being well pleased with this part of their entertainment. Boy Score. T. Smith, who declares that he can show tho man who started base ball a few things about the game that he doesn't know, took a box score of yesterday's game and this Is what he furnished The Times: Fats.
