J. VV. Bennett Says That Ww

J. W. Bennett, who returned from
a business trip to Portland and Sa
lem Saturday, Is very optimistic
ovur tho railroad prospects for Cooa
Day und has villous, of being nblo to
iimko the trip in a Pullman enr In
tho uar future ln.Uead of by boat,
Htnxe nnd train. At OardMior, hw
was informed that C. P. Ouerl, who

his Instructions wero to push through
tho survey with thp greatost possible
speed.
"I now bellovo," said Mr. Ilonnott
"that Iho Ilarrlmnn Interests will
bent tho lllll linos Into CoosBnyrbut
not very much. Tho Southern Paci
fic nro coming as fast ns posslbh
and will probably take up tho best
route down tho coast. As a result
of this, you will sco tho Hill systom
parallel tho Southern Pacific through
Oregon and connect up with tho
Ifnlncs road near Rosoburg."
Whllo In Portland, Mr.
was interviewed by tho
Bennett
Jourmi.
which quotes him as follows:
Tho Southern Pacific Company has
expended 3,000,000 in railroad
building to Coos Bny nnd will add
to that another 13,000,000, said
Judgo J. W. Bennett of Mnrshflold,
whllo In Portland yesterday. This
amount Includou $1,000,000 thnt hat
been expended in work botweon
Drain and Mnrshflold and Myrtlo
Point.
"A pnrty of 27 Southern Pacific
sutvoyors nro surveying for n lino
between Eugene nnS tho Umpquu,
which Is to coino to Coos Bny by
tho Drnln route," said Judgo Bon
nott. "Tho sum of ?ir.0,000 Is be
ing spent on n now slope In tho
Benvor Hill mines. Tho rnllroal
Htenmshlp Breakwater Is now bring
ing 500 tons of Beaver Hill coat a

' "Last summor flvo promlnont

lnceutlvu for all this activity Is said
to bo tha purclmso by James J. HH1
of tho .electric lino between Portlnnd
nnd Sitlom, which ho proposes to ex

Indicate the deslro of Ilarrlmnn poo

- "At tho recant meeting of thore

vative T. B. Wilcox quoted James J.
Hill aa saying in substance, Inst

"All of these things, coupled to
