It proposes to build a road from Eu

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

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.

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. This lend
Commissioner Armstrong to resort to
indignant statements In which the
"lie" wns passed nnd threats made
of n fistic encounter. Judge Hall
finally restored order.
