May Extend New Railroad to Coast At a meeting of several prominent capitalists In Sutherlln last Monday, considerable time was given to a dis cussion of plans for a water outlet for the Sutherlln, Coos Bay & East ern railroad, the grade for which is (3 0 9 K is Wl V now being built in the east end of the valley by the Roach Timber Company, says the Sutherlln Sun. Scottsburg, which is in this coun ty,' is about 33 miles northwest of Sutherlin, and offers a waterway to the sea for large sea-going lumber barges. With a water outlet for the products of the big sawmills soon to be constructed here, not only would cheaper freight rates be secured, but the possibility of car shortage tem porarily closing the mills at certain seasons of the year would be elim inated.
