P. Allen of Tacoma, Wash., to a num ber of men in the lobby of Th»- Chandler last evening.’ Mr. Allen has been on the bay a couple of so but has not weeks or announced the object here, How- ever, he has been in the right of way departments of eastern lines in the past and this fact leads some to believe that he is possibly in that line of work here now. “The people I speak of have the money and are going to put it into the project,” continued Mr. Allen. “It is practically certa'n that the With line will pay from the start. all these resources around here, it can’t do otherwise. It will mean the rapid settlement of this country and the development of the great natural possibilities. In the route, there is more than 15,000 horse power in the waterways to b- crossed that can be easily harnessed and made available. This is 5000 or 10,000 more horse power than is necessary for the line. Then there are the great coal deposits which will-furnish cheap fuel and power if necessary. An electric line can now handle the business on a four per cent grade at *a less expense than a steam road can on a one per cent grade.” “There is only one thing that is holding Oregon back and that is the attitude of some of the early set tlers who seem to be afraid of giv ing anybody a chance to do some thing. They want everything for themselves.“Coos -Bay Times. Take Moving Pictures Moving pictures taken from the cow catcher of the locomotive show ing the Columbia River scenery of the O. R. <Sc N.,and the Cow Creek Canyon, Willlamette Valley, Rogue River vallev and Umpqua villey scenery of the Southern Pacific will be secured by the Harriman lines. It is planned to operate a special train over the O. R. <!4 N. between Celilo Fallis and Portland. A mov ing picture taking machine will be fastened to the pilot of the locomo tive, and the entire run between Ceiilo and Portland will be shown. Three days will be occupied in pho tographing portions of the Southern Pacific line between Portland and Ashland. When completed the pictures will be exhibited at the fair in Seattle and will be distributed to scores of points throughout the east for use in advertising Oregon. Supreme Court Decision The Coquille Valley Sentinel an nounces the following: Two de cisions were received this week from the Supreme court relating to old cases. The decision of the lower court in the case of Ferrari versus the Braver Hill Coal Com|xiny giv ing the plaintiff $6000 was atfiirmed The decision in the case of Alxl versus the local railroad giving plaintiff $5150 was reversed and re tnained for retrial owing to errors in instructions.

J. Jenkins, Prop. John R. Stevens, the big railroad man who has been going through Oregon to look over the country for James J. Hill, the railroad mag nate, was on Coos Bay a few weeks ago and it appears that nobody here knew it at the time. With Mr. Stevens was Arvid Rybstrom, for- mCrly a Hill railroad man and now of the Pacific Contracting and Gon- struction Company. Mr. Rybstrom came in from Roseburg on the stage line and then went down to Bandon and on to Port Orford where he met Mr. Stevens who had come up from Gold Beach. The two made the trip to Bandon and then drove up to Coos Bay and saw the harbor bar and visited North Bend and Marshfield They did not stay long in the cities and evidently endeavored to keep quiet the fact that they were here. It was learned however th.it Stevens and Rybstrom had been here and the latter in a letter to a Coos Bay man admits the fact that the visit was made and that thev left without talking to any local people. What significance might be at tached to the visit of Mr. Stevens is entirely a matter of surmise but the fact remains that the big Hill ex pert did not overlook Coos county in his tour of the state and moreover got a pretty good idea of the lay of the land-—Harbor.
