(From tho Portland Telegram)
rF THE purpose of the Soutnnrn
Pacific Is serious to build a rail
way lino from Kugeno to Coos
Hay, the whole Htitto or Oregon will
loudly proclaim Its approval. There
Ib no lino of road jvImiko building Is
mora loudly called for and whoso
building has linen longer iwstponoa.
Tho people of tho Coon Hay country,
with no outlet but tho ocean, have
built up a region of which tho whole
etnto In proud. They have develop
ed Industries, particularly In the
lumbering and dairying lines, which
have become n proud boaHt of tho
ntnte. They have doveloped a mini
bor of communities wlhch are am
prlBlngly metropolitan In uppearauco
and as enterprising as any to bo
found on the railroads.
If any section deserves a railroad
that section does. Wo have had In
in I ml tho Drain project of tho South
ern Pncllln system and Its abandon
ment after over n million and a ha'f
dollara had been spent upon It. Wo
havo not boon too sure that tho pro
soiit niovoinont wns not llkuwlso n
bluff. Thero are, however, wo aro
pleased to say, certain sighs to Indi
cate that tho road means business
this time. Surveys about which noth
ing hiiH boon publicly known havo
been going on for sumo time. Wo
sincerely hope that this will bo tho
outcome, and the great Coos Day
country will soon havo a railway out
lot on tho landward aide such as
it luiH so long needed.

ditional evidence tending to Indicate
thnt tho Southern Pacific is sincere
In Its announcement mndo relative
to the Immediate construction of a
lino from ICugcne to Mnrshfleld mate
rialized when the Wendllng-Johnson
Lumber Company filed a trust deed
with tho clerk or Douglas county se
curing n bond issue in tho sum of
?1, 300, 000. Tlio deed Is executed In
favor of tho Michigan Trust Company,
with headquarters at Grand Ilnplds,
Michigan, and Involves Bovornl thou
sand acres of timber lands In Doug
Ins and Lnno counties. In this con
nection It might bo said that most
of tho tlmbor lands involved nro
along tho lino of the contemplated
Mnrshfleld extension from Eugene,
and with tho road completed will bo
subject to easy transportation.
With tho trust deed filed closely
following tho announcement, it Is
nssuiued In Itosoburg that tho South
ern Pacific Company Is playing the
"dark horse" and that thoy will come
Into possession of the lands Involved.
Ah nbovo stated, tho timber in ques
tion Is among tho best in tho stute
and Is so situated as to attract spe
cial attention from a railroad com
pany contomplntlng tho construction
or a line through the Sluslaw dis
tricts and to the coast.
