HAINES SAYS 1ST DIFFICULT
PART OF SURVEY COMPLETED

Twenty Miles of Myrtle
Point.
ROSEBURG END MAY
BE NEXT WORK DONE
Meeting of Subscribers to
Fund Called For Next
Friday Evening.
Fred Haines, chief engineer of the
Coos Bay, Boise and Idaho Railway
Company, arrived In from Camp this
morning to aUend to borne business
matters connected with the survey.
He reports that very good pi ogress
has been made.
The survey and preliminary loca
tion through the worst part of the
route has been completed. Now
there remains about twenty miles of
comparatively easy work to Myrtle
Point and the survey on the east side
of the range leading to Boseburg.
One of these can be completed be
fore the rainy season sets lu and the
other can be executed regardless of
weather. Mr, Haines Is not certain
whether to continue the survey Into
Myrtle Point or to finish the Rose
burg end' -first but probably will
make the latter survey if the Rose
burg Chamber of Commerce has
completed Its plans to take hold of
the project.
It is stated that just as soo'n as
the books and proceedings of the
company are obtainable, and the
necessary copies made to send to
Boseburg, that organization will
raise Its share of- the expenses,
Mr. Haines said that he had se
cured better than a one per cent
grade with an easy curvature.

pany's Timber Now
Under Control.
Forest fires during the past few
weeks have been causing the C. A.
Smith Lumber and Manufacturing
Company quite heavy losses In tim
ber In the Couqllle valley. The last
few rains have done much to aid tho
forces of men fighting the conflagra

It Is now believed that the worst
danger Is over.
George Guerin, fire warden of the
company, has had a large force out
lighting a conflagration that broke
out on the South Fork of the' Co
qullle beyond Myrtle Point. It Is
feared that this blaze has done the
most serious damage of any of the
conflagrations. Mr. Guerin has not
yet reported the extent of it to W.
J. Conrad who Is in charge of the
company's timber department.

ing to the many friends of the ven

all matters relating to the church in
this section will have to be taken up
with him and the most Important
matters will only go through him to
Bishop Scadding.
For sometime It has been Bishop
Scaddlng's wish to relieve Rev.
Horsfall of tho detail duties of par
ish work and while he has not an
nounced the appointment of any new
assistants, it Is expected that he will
do so just as soon as he la nble to
find suitable clergymen.
Bishop Scadding aUo announced
that Miss Caroline P. Sheffield,' an
officer of the New York Board of
the Episcopal church, will visit
Marshfield In November.
Bishop Scadding returned yester
day from Bandon where he and Mrs.
Scadding have been enjoying a few
weeks outing and rest In their cot
tage near the beach. He said that
the trip had been a most enjoyable
one aside from Its physical bonefits
and his only regret was that he
could not spond the three months
here thnt he had planned. He left
this morning at 4 o'clock on the
Gardiner stage. '
"There Is one thing I wish to say
and that is to express my apprecla-.
tlon of the steady growth of the
church In this section under the care
of the Rev. Wm. Horsfall," remark
ed Bishop Scadding, 'a'nd also to
express my appreciation of the many
courtesies shown Mrs. Scadding and
myself during our stay in Coos
county. Largo congregations were
in attendance at ail the services In
Marshfield, Empire, Coqullle and
Empire.
"I told you the other day about
my hopes for building up the church
hero and keeping It abreast of tho
great development that Is taking
place on Coos Bay. There Isn't very
much I can add to my statements
then but I am satisfied the congrega
tion hero will back mo up In those
plans.
"Our bungalow on tho Bandon
beach Is located on one of the most
beautiful spots Imaginable Aside
from this, tho alluring climate
makes Coos county a spot that Is to
be envied by those who aro unable
to remain in It. Our summer homo
will bo made an associate mission
clergy houso whero two or three un
married divines of tho dioceso can
live and enjoy a month or so outing
and assist Rev. Horsfall.
"One gratifying feature of my
visit this time was tho evident pro
gress made hero, especially tho
ranchers. Tho ranches aro hotter
kept and there Is a more thrifty air
about them and the orchards than
In former years."
Every day wo realize how com
fortably wo jog along without some
thing that tho day before wo were
porsuaded wo could not get along
without.
