Mr. Hitchcock said tnnt no ox-

Its while tho construction Is under Now tlmt tl)0 jjolnn ,ionl has been
way tho next two or three years.
No Coast Lino Now.
When asked about tho prospects
for a lino on down tho coast be
yond Coos Day, Mr. Hitchcock said
thoro was. nothing doing In it, now
at least bo far as his people nro con-
nrnn.t Tin unlit flint fill tirolOCt
looked' nood for tho future. Nor Is !
thoro anything doing on an cast and
west lino from horo now, as far as
ho knows. Ho said that tho Eugcno
routo was tho logical way to build
to Coos Bay, anyway.
MncArthur Rrothcrs company Is
ono of tho lorgost contracting firms
In tho United States and havo head
quarters In Now York City. They
rather mako a specialty of railroad
work but handlo nhnost anything In
tho construction lino.
Other Won't Talk.
Tho others of tho party did not
want to discuss rallrond matters nt
all, each of them roforlng tho nown
papor men to Mr. Hitchcock as tho
spokesman of tho pnrty.
Although nil of them wcro moro
or loss tired by tho hard trip, all
woro good naturcd and elated over
tho flno Bpoll of weather they had
bad for tho trip.
Only Ono Line.
Mr. Weir, tho locating engineer of
tho Southern Pacific, laughed whon
askod about tho possibility of tho
now lino being used Jointly by tho
Hill or other systems with tho South
ern Pacific.
"You know that ono road Is all
that Coos Hay Is going to got Just
now bocauso thoro Isn't business or
tonnngo horo for moro than ono,"
ho finally replied.
Mr. Weir has been In horo a num
bor of times and has many friends
horo.

Dosplto all tho rumors that hnvo
boon started from tlmo to time- for
tho last three or four yoars about
somoono ot tho Porter Drotbors hir
ing on Coos Hay Incognito for tho
Hill Interests, R. 1). Porter stated
laBt night that positively this was
tho first trip ot hlmsolf or nny ot
his brothers to tho bay. Ho said
Mr. Hitchcock was tho man to talk
about tho railroad. Ho said ho waB
along with a vlow to securing part
of tho work for his firm If thoy
could mnko so nut money out of It.
Mr. Porter spent a Inrgo nhnro
of tho evening visiting with A. h.
Powora of tho Smlth-Powora Log
ging compnny. Tho two nro old
time friends, hnvlng boon boyhood
acquaintances In Minnesota thirty
odd yoars ago. Mr. Portor Is Just

near Duluth for n tlmo, logging off
Inrgo amis sldo by sldo. Later tho
Portor Hrothors began specializing

Cnrl Albrccht last evening reviv
ed tho contest as to tho kind of pn
Ing to bo put In here. Ho appeared
boforo tho council and nsked that
bids on bltullthlc ns well as bitumin
ous bo asked for tho Market avenuo
district. Ho said that ho was cir
culating a potltlon among tho prop
erty owners nnd nearly nil tho res
ident property owners woro signing
It. Ho nsked that tho council dofor
tho nctlon for a week In tho matter
so that ho could present tho petitions.
Ho claimed that under tho prcsont
specifications, tho oltumlnous peo
plo havo n monopoly and claimed
that It might bo posslblo by getting
somo competition to got bettor bids
thnn ?2.2' per yard. Ho aBkcd that
tcntntlvo bids on bltullthlc Is woll as
bituminous bo called for.
13. P. Morrlssoy r tho Coos Dny
Paving nnd Construction company
denied thnt thoy hnd a monopoly of
tho bituminous paving, saying that
nnyono could lay It. IIo said that
tho Wnrron Construction compnny

as woll aa tho machinery for laying
It nnd charging a bounty on It. Ho
claimed that tho courts had held tho

R. A. Copplo said thnt ho would
like to sco competition for tho work
nnd nlso sco tho dlfforont kinds or

Tho mnttor wns not slntod to como

cials. Improve Wntcr Front.
Eugene O'Connoll urged tho coui.
cll to tnko futthor stops looking to
tho Improvomont of tho waterfront.
Ho said that slnco Front street was
bolng convortcd Into railroad right
of wny, It would bo cssontlal to af
ford n Btrcot for teams and tho poo
plo to travol. Ho snld tho govern
ment hnd onco offorod to oxtond tho
harbor lines twenty foot further and
suggested thnt tho council tnko stops
to hnvo this dono nnd then opon n

tho wntor front. Ho said tho build
ings could tlion bo mndo to fnco thnt
wny and grontly Improvo tho nppen..

TILLAMOOK, Ore., May 14.--Membors
of the city council nro In
clined to bo wroth nt tho nctlon of
tho Southern Pnclflc railroad In de
clining to uccopt the frnncblBo grnnt
ed nt Its request. For somo time,
pressure was brought to bear on tho
council to grnnt tho railroad tho
privilege of laying threo trncks on
Front street. Thoro wns much oppo
sition to tho plan, nB It wns claimed
that thlB would glvo tho railroad tho
street. Tho council finally passed
tho tranchlso practically ns request
ed, and forwarded it to tho rnllrond
for acccptanco. Sovcrnl days ago it
was returned with n stntomont that
tho railroad does not want It.
An explanation Is given that nftcr
deliberation tho rnllrond company de
cided to build tho freight nnd pns
songcr stnttons of tho road on the
terminal grounds east of town In
stead of at Front street nnd Stlllwoll
avenue. Tho property on Front
