with Southern Pacific officials nnd at
tending to other business ninttors.
He wns very reticent regarding tho
constructlon of n lino to Coos Dny
by tho Southern Pacific.
"I do not wish to mako nny stato-
racnt now as I havo no nbsotutoly do-
finite Information to glvo," snld Mr.
Mlllls upon being questioned about
the rnllrond. "Howovor, things nro
looking mighty bright nnd nil I can
ray Is thnt rensonnblo pntlonco on
Coos nay's part will bo rowardod

can't say." I
Mr. Mlllls said that n Portland
newspaper man had telephoned him
about tho railroad matters nnd pos-
Flblo Southern Pacific steamship lino
from Coos Bay to San Frnnclsco nnd
Imd possibly misunderstood him. Mr.
Mlllls snld thnt ho wns doing nil In

company could not satisfactorily
take enro of tho Coos Bay-San Frnn
