Bandon t THE RAILROAD Will the S. P. Build to Grants Pass Instead of to Eugene? Editor O. A. Honnott lias dlscov oroil u fresh Initio In tliu S. 1'. situation. It Ir no lens than n un ion of tho O. A. Smith and railway Interests. Hero la what Editor Hon nott Bays: "Steamers coming up trio bay during tho foggy weather lust week bumped Into boacon lights and knocked out dolphins. What will shipping do during n fog If a brldgo Is placed across tho bay from Sand I'olnt to North llend? Tlioy'll simply hnro to tlo up until tho weather clears, mi to a vessel like tho Nnnu Smith this means n loss of no Inconsiderable amount. A brldgo would bo a decided Injury to tho commercial Interests of Coos Day, and everybody who Is Inter ested In tho welfnro of tho bay should fight It to n finish, and thou some. "Wo stated on two or threo oc casions boforo that wo didn't bo llovo that tho S. l wanted to brldgo Coos Day, and wo don't be lieve yet that they do. Wo may bo mistaken, but tho proposition doesn't look good to us. Hut whe ther they do or do not want to brldgo tho bay. tho peoplo who In tend to mako their permauont noiue lioro should protect our Hhlpplug Interests to tho greatest posslblo ex tent. Our harbor Is of more Im nortnnco than many railroads, and no corporation should be allowed to got ti stranglehold on It. If the S. P. nt this particular tlmo really wants to brldgo the bay, they would do It solely for the purpose of blocking nny other road that might wish to come In bore Tbev htivo nothing to loso by asking for tho permit to build tho brldgo. If tho penult Is granted they have a year In which to commence construction, and we suppnso that n fow piles driven for an approach nt Sand I'olnt or North Hond would nn- Bwer tho purposo for commence ment of construction, tho saino as Mlllls started tho milky way at North Hond. They may novor com plete It. If they nro refused per mission to build tho brldgo, then thoro Is no danger or any other road coming In from tho north, for tho other rond would also bo re fused permission. With tho S. P. controlling n great portion of tho watcriront on tlio east sldo, It would bo hnrd sledding for n rdni! to get In hero anywhoro north of tlio mouth of Coos river. On tho west sldo of tho liny they got ev erything they wanted nt North llond, and If they succeed In got ting tho Tormlnnl Hallway frnn chlso at Marshflold they will cer tainly have a leadplpo cinch on tho railroad situation on Cons liny. It may bo that thoy consider that tlio Tormlnnl Hallway will bo necessary for them as n moans of reaching North Hond. "It was published a short tlmo ago Mint MeArthur-Perks had been nwnrded tho contract to build a lino for tlio S. P. from tho Slits law to Coos Hay. On this pro posed line no work whntover has been coninionced between tho SIus law nnd Umpqun. Tho work on tlio Wondllng timber rond betweon Eugene nnd Sluslnw Is being rush ed with nil posslblo sped. but Micro's nothing doing south of the Sluslnw. Tho only work between tho Umpqun nnd Coos liny that Is under way Is Mint of grading nn approach to tho tunnol at Wind Creek. This tunnel Is nt a strate gical point on the lino from tho north, nnd. even If built nt con siderable opeiiso and never used, It would effectually block any other road coming down tho coast from tho north. Tho S. P. enn afford to build that tunnel fully ns well as they bored tunnels nnd built bridges on tho Drnln-Coos Day lino. "Now. lot ns take n look nr Mils Little Talks on the High Cost of Living By W. A. REID. Yes, lumber, llko OTorythlng olso, Is high right now. notwithstanding tho fact that we are living in one of tho greatest lumber producing districts In the world, but you will pay as much or more a yoar from now. The money you pay out for rout In u year will luy the luinbor for your homo. And tho saving you make In buying your homeslto In PEKHAM PA IMC right now will pay for tho labor.

A. Smith In terests nro moro concerned In tho development of tho shipping fnclll tics of Coos Day Minn nny other linn or number of firms Iocntcd I hero, or who hnvo timber nnd coal tributary to Coos Day waters. ! Whllo tho head men of tho Smith Company had little or no oxporl- ; enco in shipping by wntor beforo coming to tho nny, thoy hnvo nov- I erthclcss boon hero long onough by , this tlmo to npprcclnto tho mennco , to commcrco Mint n brldgo across tho hnrbor would nrovo to bo. Thoy also know by exporlcnco Mint tho driving of, piles for log booms, etc., is nlwnys followed by shoaling, thcreforo thoy nro nwnro of tho fact that tho construction of n brldgo mentis tho bulldlntr tin of ' tho mudflats, encroachment on tidal 1 nren, nnd consequent limiting of tho amount of wntor which ebbs nnd flows ncross tho bar nnd which Is necessary when controlled bv a. Jetty to Insuro n dopth sultnblo for lnrgo vessels. Mr. Smith was op- pnsea to tno uriago whon tho mat tor was discussed n fow years ago, but on his last visit ho stared that ho had no objection to a brideo. provided It was built according to Plans npproveti by tho United States engineers, or words to Mint effect-. .-sono or tno otuclals or tho C. A. Smith enterprises took nny nnrt In trying to prevent n permit for n linage noing granted, nlthoiiRh thoy must" know that n brldgo would bo n decided Injury to tholr shipping uiiL'rt'in. wuni was tno reason that thoy did not opposo It? Thoro nro soino peoplo who think thnt C. A. Smith knows moro nbout theso mntters Minn tho gcnernl public gives nun credit lor. Ho Is build lug n mighty flno logging rond good enough for tho best kind of n railroad out from Myrtlo Point townrds Grants Pass. Ho has traf fic nrrnngoments with tho S. P. from Myrtle Point to bis nlnnts nn Coos Hny. Tho contractors who aro to timid tho Jlrst 23 nil os of tho i new logging rond nro men who nnvo recently finished contracts for the S, P. and nro clnssedns S. P. contractors: In fact everything In dlcntes that tho S. P. and tho C. A. Smith Interests nro on very friendly terms, to say tho loast. Wo have no source m inronnntlon from which to drnw to confirm our views: no hunch that would enlightou us rognrdlng those mat ters; wo nro ntoroly surmising, nnd may bo bnrklng up tho wrong tree, but It looks this way to us. Tho Wondling Interosts raised tho nee oasnry money to build n logging road from Eugono to tho Sluslnw. The S. P. took tho road off their hnnds nnd bought off nn opposition road that was headed down tho coast to Coos Day. Tho C. A. Smith Lumbor Company raised tho necessary money to build n" log ging rond on the lino between Myr tle Point nnd Grants Pnss, and woll. It is very apparent that the S. P. Is not fighting It. What's tho matter with the S. P. pushing thnt rond to Grants Pnss? If thoy build that lino they won't need the Etigeno line, nor will they need a brldgo ncross Coos Hay. With tho right-of-way between tho Umpqun nnd Coos Day, which thoy hnvo nought nnd paid Tor, including tun nol sites, etc., thoy hnvo tho bay pretty woll blocked from Eugono or Drain. 'With n rond to Grants Pass, or somo other point In tho Jntfi-.'or of tho srnte, It Is wiry aiiubtful if n rival road would nt- tompt to como In from thnt direc tion; thorororo, If no further do volopmonts nro forthcoming In rail road circles. It certainly looks ns though tho S. P. wns holding tho lop nana in tins section, nnd ac counts for tho strenuous oxortlnnx bolng mndo to enpturo tho Tennl- nni uniiwny, which thoy would now cheorfiilly nccept with tho com-mon-usor clnuso, becnuso they hnvo n frnnchlso nt North Uend with no strings on It. nnd further becniiBo Micro Is very llttlo chnnco for nn- uiuur ruiironu to get in lioro and domnnd tho right to uso it.'
