OK COUHSE, hope for the best, but wo rannot help re marking tho pccullnr slgnlll- enncoof tho fact that colncldont with tho filing In CohuIIIq City of tho trust deed for $10,000,000 for the purposo of providing funds for tho building of tho Coos Hay & Oregon Central' Itnllwny company, tho oaHtern start ing point of which Is Rosobtirg, tho Southern Paclllc should rush Into the broach with tho announcement thai It proposes to build a road from Eu gene to Marshlleld. that It Is to bo completed In two years and that $N. 000,000 hns already been appropriat ed for ItH construction. With this announcement comes tho olllclal and doflnlto abandonment of tho railroad project from Drain to tho const. it will not bo forgotten that eight yeans ago, when dellnlto plans had been completed for tho building of an Independent lino from Itoseburg to Mnrshllold, tho Southern Pacific nuddenty uwoko from Its torpor and actually began the construction of u railroad from Drain to tho const. Upon this road It spent, It Is said, about a million and n half. Iiumonso masses of construction material wore collected, and most of It Is still lying on tho ground ncnttorod for miles out of Drain. Now this costly onterprlso 1b dead and tho obsoquloH have been dollnltoly pionnunced upon It. Tho reason for Its abandonment was that tho Sou thorn Pari lie's apparent sin ONLY ONE KNOCKEU. (Krom tho Eugono Register) rtfiHE Portlund Telegram Is tho only paper In tho state thntlsdlsposed to throw cold wuter upon the Eu-gonc-Coos Hay announcement of the Southern Paclllc, nudthailssupposed to bo duo to tho scoops tho morning papers hod on tho story. There I onu Htutement by the Telegram, how ever, probably true, nnd that Is the one to tlio effect that a group of local financiers headed by one of tho big gest bankers In the city has ar ranged to tap the Coos Hay countrv with n feeder lino from Eugeno by way of a route down tho shore of tho Paclllc. This company has all but completed an arraugomont whereby tho necessary bondB for tho project will bo floated In London. The Hnrrlmun crowd got wind of this and rushed Into print with blowing accounts of what It was going to do. Tho local interests referred to have already surveyed a route all the way from Eugono to Klorenco with option on most of tho balance of the distance to Marshlleld and other Coos Hay points. They have already pro pared all of tho preliminary work, and their prollles for tho road are fin ished and have been submitted to the agents who linve chargo of raising tho nocossury money needed for building tho road. Tho Register violates no confldonro when It states that tho above decla ration by tho Telegram enn bo accept ed as n mnt tor of fact, and there Is corlty In sotting about building a ' ,v"',' rt,BO t0 lmlluvu ,lmt th,! nz' tlon of tuo Houtnorn raciuc win uoi deter these people from going nhend with their undertaking which Is satd Smith-Powers Company to Clear Channel "Lie" Passed at Meeting. COQU1LLE, Ore., Aug. 11. The Coos county commissioners at a spe cial meeting this week granted a perjnlt to the Smith-Powers Logging company to uso dynamite in clearing the channel of South Coos river from McKnlght's Landing to Daniels Creole. Tho application wnB Indors ed by tho stnto game warden. Tho logging company Is opening a no v cam) at McKnlght's landing and , number of snags nnd rocks In the channel hampered the handling of tho logs. Tho dynamiting while probably hnrd on the fish for the time being will greatly Improve tho stream for boating. Tho commissioners also took up n number of road mntters. In one from Un n do n, Mr. Richardson nnd Com missioner Armstrong got Into n real lively tilt. Richardson charge 1 Armstrong with carelessness In hnv Ing a brldgo put on Rlchnrdson's Innd Instead of on tho county road. Rlelinrdson chnrged thnt tho commis sioners carelessness was duo to the fact that relatives or friends wore Interested In the contract.
