Thcro Ih almost an equnlly overwhelming opinion that wo aro not recoil ing ndnqiintc returns for tho amount of money that is being expended. Yot nothing Is being dono to Improve conditions.

MIKADO STILL Reported That Calvin May Change Route Again Other Railway Gossip. Thnt thero is n possibility of tho Drain-Coos Day line being built nor? lustend of the Coos Dny-Eugcno line Ig tho gist of a rumor nfloat hero today. Tho rumor Is based on two ronsons, ono tho fnct that Vlco-Presl-dont Calvin Is again In chargo of construction and tho other tho fact thnt tho immediate plans for work by Porter Drothors and tho MncArthur, Porks company, which nro apparent ly working closely togothor, al though tho Porters aro supposed o havo takon tho sub-contract for SO miles of it, provide apparently only for construction along tho Sluslaw and betweon tho Umpqun and North Lako. No plans havo yet been made by tho contractors, it Is understood on good authority, for work be tween tho Sluslaw and Gnrdiner. Vlco-Presldont Calvin wns tho original sponsor of tho Coos Dny Draln lino nnd nftor work stoppod on tho first project, tho construction work and tho charge of tho Oregon llnee generally went to Vlce-Pros.-dont J.

Now that Mr. Calvin Is, as a re suit of the reorganization announced by President Sproulo n week ago last Friday, In charge of tho construction of te now lines, it would not bo su -prising to some to see him try and change back to tho Drnln lino.
