Note» from the Bay.
Elmet; Woolley, aged 27. was shot
through the head and instantly
killed, on Smith river, a tributary .of
the Umpqua, last week, by his com-
paaion, Win. McGee, who mistook
him for a Ijear.
The steamer Kilburn has been
taken oft the Coos Bay route, and
we understand is to run between
San Francisco and San I’edro. The
Plant is the- only steamer now mak
ing regular trips between San Fran
cisco and the bay.
But we want more railroads,
promised railroads, the chance for
development that only mote rail-
to.ads will give. We are going to
a-t them, or make Mr. Harriman
trouble.
1'his is his territory, south
of the Columbia, lie claims it, and
holds it. We look to him for these
needed roads.' It won’t do to sav
that nearly all of central ami soutli-
1 astern Oregon is a desert, “not
worth scrapping over,” for we all
know better. It will not do to say
that labor and money cannot be ob
tained.
We know this isn't so,
either. We are going to get some
thing done, some of those promises
fulfilled, or here will be attempts of
one kind or another made that will
compel Mr. Harriman’s attention.
We demand more railroads, more
transportation facilities, and the
opening up of the railroad lands to
sale and settlement.
Mr. Harriman may smile scorn
fully at these demands, believing
that he is all powerful and the people
powerless, but times are changing:
this will not be so much longer.—
