Everybody Talks
About Coos Bay.
Outsiders Very Much Inter­
ested in the Coos Bay
Country.
Mr. I. 8. Kaufman, who went to
Hpokane about a month ago to dis­
pose of bia interests io that city and
move to Marshfield as a permanent
location, returned with good news for
the Coos Bay country. Incidentally,
it might be mentioned that he brought
Mrs. Kaufman with him and will soon
erect a modern home io Marshfield.
Their household effects have been
shipped from the imperia! city of the
interior sod city and should arrive
here within a few days
Spokane being Mr. Kaufman's for­
mer home, the people of that city
naturally were inquisitive about Coos
Bay, aud be was swamed with in­
quiries concerning this country. He
stated to a Times representative that
Coos Bay is on the lips of nearly
everybody on tbe outside, particular­
ly in Spokane aod Portland. As soon
as the people where be stopped found
be was from tbis country they were
insistent on bis telling them every­
thing be could about tbe prospects
aod resources. A number of Spokane
men of wealth declared tbeir inten­
tion of coming to Coos Bay in the
near future with the thought of in­
teresting themselves with us.
Asked as to what are tbe matters
which attract outsiders, Mr. Kaufman
said:
“While io Spokane several of my
friends came to me and congratulated
me and tbe Coos Bay country over
tbe probability of tbe Chicago and
Northwestern coming to tbe Bay.
when I asked them bow they bad j
learned all this, they stated that tbeir
I
connections such that they had inside
information and that Coos Bay might
depend on tbe tip beiog authentic.
Tbe fact tbal so many railroads are
beaded tbis way is conclusive proof
of tbe recoguition of our country
»
as tbe future locality that will make a
BANDON,
wouderful progress. When the rail­
roads become interested in a county,
its future is assured. ’
When Mr. Kaufman reached Dram
be found a scene of activity stretched
from that busy little city along the
route to a poiut seveial miles this
side of Elkton, and everywhere ap­
pearance sottgeeted the greatest per­
fection of system and strenuousness
The contractors now have in the
neighborhood of a thousand men at
work on the line and the paraphernalia
including implements, mules and
other utilities, are of the highest
grade. Mr. Kaufman met a promi­
nent Northwest contractor while ab­
sent, who had lately looked over the
second stretch of the survey with a
view of taking a contract for th* work
for about twenty miles this side of
Elkton. He said that the Southern
Pacific is anxious to let this part of
the road and hurry the whole line
through just as fast as labor can push
it. On the route from Drain to Elk
ton Mr. Kaufman passed about four
different camps of workmeu, aud
learned that the preliminary grade
has been completed for about four
miles from Drain. The Loss company
has winter quarters ready al Elkton
and along the route, and say they are
going to work on the tunnels all
winter. Even now the surface work
has been finished on some of the tun
nets, and the heavy boring is about
to commence.
Large quantities of supplies are
stored at Drain, such as cement, rails
aud other accessories.— Daily Times.
And now it is said that tbe “Coos
Bay Country”—which in thia instance
means tbe Coquille Valley—is to be
the principal source from which must
come tbe lumber for ship building
purposes on tbe coast. Tbe Coquille
is at last being discovered.
Don't forget that Dr. Steele, dentist, is
located in Bandon.

The shipment brought this time

said that the lumber is being intro­
duced among the eastern boat aud

before long much larger qualities will
