“There is a syndicate in Portland
that has $3,000,000 and an eastern
man who has another $1,000,000
that they will put into an electric
road between Coos Bay and Port
land and they will start work inside
of three months.”
This was the statement of J. 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

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

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.

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

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

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. These cases have l>een
in court for over two years and now
one of them will have to be retried.

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.
