THE C. II. O. & I. RAILROAD.
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.

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:
