-EWSI'APERS become calloused
a little, probably, In tho mat-
tor of bolng thin-skinned. They
nro criticised so severoly nnd de
nounced so vigorously and so fre
quently that they como to take n
great deal of it as n mattor of course,
nnd they do not understand tho nt
tltudo of others, who tho moment at
tention is directed to what they arc
doing, feel that they have been In
sulted. v
But mnklng nil due allowance for
tho point or view, Tho Coos huay
Times can sco nothing to commend
In being thlu-sklunod, especially
where public matters are Involved.
Interested would not make nny sta
tcments.
There continues to be much spe
culation as to developments in the
Sumner projects. L. A. Sumner's
corioburntlon yesterdny of his pre
vious statement about tho situation
has sort of put a damper on tho ef
forts of a few to question his inte
grity. Parties on tho bay who hnvo been
In close touch with tho Pacific Great
Western and tho Pacific Coast Lino
hnvo Just recolved some additional
Information that corroborates Mr.
Sumner's statement further nnd also
tonds to confirm tho rumor printed
In Tho Times tho other day that It
Hill had any connection with tho
Sumuor projects, It has resulted In
nn agreement to build only ono road
botwoon Eugono nnd Coos Bay nnd
to lnsuro tho Joint uso of it to South
ern Pacific and Hill lines.
This Information, which is appa
rently unquestionable Is to tho ef
fect that tho heads of tho Sumner
projects have stated privately that
there will not bo two roads built.
They stated that when they started.
tho Southern Pacific had not then In
cluded tho Coos Bay-Eugene line In
its budget but when tho Sumner
peoplo got active, the Southorn Paci
fic also Btarted In. Thoy state that
there Is not the business to Justify
the construction of two lines between
tho points nnd It is understood that
they have made overtures to the
Southorn Pacific relntlvo to merging
tho projects. Tho Sumner people
claim to hnvo by far tho best route
