NUMBER 36 BANDON, OREGON, SEPTEMBER 16 1909 VOUME XXV. MINATURE RAILROAD TO DECONSTRUCTED BANDON OWLS GIVE BANQUET WILL BE BUILT On Exhibition During Car. nival in the Fiat Iron Building Business Men So Says Vice-President I Stubbs of Southern Pacific TALKS ON THE RAILROAD SITUATION New York, Sept. 13—J. C. Stubbs vice-president of the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific and chief d - rector of all tiarrimad lines, wl o was summoned to this city by the alaiming illness of Mr Harriman, talked freely on conditions in the far northwest on the day of Mr. Harriman's death. With reference to occujiancy of the Deschutes Canyon, Mr. Stubbs says: "As I understand it, the report that there is room tor I nt one rail road in die upper half ot the canyon is false. I believe there is sufficient room for half a dozen lines there, and we are building into Central O'egon without delav. "Of the projected low-grade cut off between Weed, Cal., and Eugene, Ore, the section to Klamath Falls has been competed for some time and ."oust ruction toward Eugene is now in progress Buck board and horseback surveys have been made from Klamath Falls northeasterly across Oregon to Ontario <n the Oregon Short Line on the Idaho border, and I presume that this line, about 300 miles long, will be constructed as soon as the Southern Pacific be lieves that it is called tor." As to the report that rhe Northern Pacific has been negotiating foi waterfront property in the Coos Bay district, on the Oregon Coa-t, intending to [extend its Deschutes Canyon line south and west to th- Bay, bringing it too miles nearer to San Francisco, Mr. Stubbs fur ther says: • I do not believe that there is any foundation foi it The outlook for traffic in this district is not such as to warrant competition We hive already put in several months of construction work on a line to extend from Drain, Ore., to Coos Bay and th's line will be completed eventually. “1 am a little skeptical about the financial value of this territory. In cluding the Portland Seattle con nection, when the traffic is divided among two or three roads. It seems to me that there is not much in it, save for the line which is first in the field, in a case where later lines are compelled to use its tracks. Ho.'.ever, that is a point which the future alone can determine. 1 do not believe that the Hill plans call for an extension south of Coos Bay. As for the Hill roads entering San Francisco, I do not believe that will come to pass in our day.” Mr. Stubbs was particular in con nection w ith these statements to have it understood that as to new liner ..nd construction he might not be fully informed, as these are not under his supervision and he there fore ¿as able to express only his personal views based upon such knowledge as he had gained. ----- Notice to the Public Bandon. Ore, Sept, it— My wife, Ruby Wolfer has left my bed and board and I will not be responsible for any debts contracted by her hefeafter. Jake Wolfer. It Phe Bandon-Port Orford railroad will be on display in minature in the Flat Iron building during the car nival week. There you can see just how the railroad will look when completed, where every bridge, every fill and every cut will be, also a display of the resources along the road and many other matters of im- portanee in connection with the road can be seen at that time. The sale of stock for the new road is progiessing very rapidly, md the demand is far greater than the fondest anticipations of the pro motors. Messrs Lucas and Hop son who have the fiscal agency foi the road, stated that the financing 01 the road would be an easy prop ositicn and that it was only a mat ter of a short time until all the stock would be taken. —noo----- Obituary.
