15 BAY PEOPLE THRILLED
BY RAILROAD ANNOUNCEMENT
Realization of Old Anticipation
of Construction 'Inspires
Greater Hope.
SECOND RAILWAY
IS NOW LOOKED FOR
Remarkable Development to
Follow Expected to .Exceed
Wildest Dreams.
"It will bo built."
Tbo long expected bus bnpponcd
and Coos liny will got n rnllrond,
and tho old hIobiui realized.
Anticipation gnvo wny to rcnllzn
tlon this morning and amllca told
the story of tbo Kind rejoicings. Tho
Times' story nnd foreenst lust ove
Blng paved tlio wny nnd tho clrculn
tlon of tho story thnt olllclnl nnnoun
cement had been mndo thnt tho
Southern rncltlc would build wnB
rapid.
Confidence In Coos Ilny's future
which at brief Intervnls lugged (lur
ing tho last few yenrs, hns boon mora
buoyant than ever during tbo Inst
fen- months nnd consequently tbo an
nouncement wns not received lllto n
thunder clnp.
No sooner lind tlio first thrills
worn oft thnn anticipations of tho
second, and possibly inoro, sprung
up and woro echoed In nonrly ovory
conversation benrlng on tho aubject.
"Wo will get n second rnllrond
soon." was tho gonernl remark nnd
It wns received generally with ns
much confidence ns hnvo been tho
recent forecasts of tbo first.
The confirmation of tbo selection
of tho niiRono-SluBlnw routo wnB nl-
so anticipated. Besides tho elimin
ation of tho benvy grndo north of
Drain, it Is figured thnt tbo construc
tion of tho lino to Eugono will eli
minate the breaking up of tho frolght
tariffs of the towns nlong tho South
ern Pacific In Southern Oregon nnd
Northern California. Tho dlstnnco
from Coos nay to Eugono Is very
nearly whnt It Is from Portlnnd so
that the freight tnrlff from hero to
Points like Roseburg, Ashland, Med
'ord, Grants Pnss nnd othorB over
the now Southern Pnclflc routo will
be practically what It Is from Port
land to thoso points now.
However, tho now lino will tnp a
rich, undeveloped section north of
nere and will mnko tho bulk of tho
oost valuable bolt of standing tim
ber In tho world absolutely tribu
tary to C003 nay.
Besides opening up the big torrl
jory, the construction of tho railroad
is expected to hnston the dovolop
ent of tho Coos Bay harbor.
In 'act. tho most vivid Imagination
scarcely comprehend tho ro
narkalle growth and development
" will follow the building of tho
ailroad and the others lines that
are expected to follow soon.
