Great Central Railroad Attracting Settlers’
Colonies— Acquisition of Land Holdings
at Roseburg— Coos Bay Commerce-
Portland, Nov. 14.—The Great
Central Railway Company, which
will construct a railroad from Coon
Rav, the Southern Oregon seaport,
to Salt Lake City, has been project
ed here only a few months, but al
ready it has been the means of
bringing into this state hundreds of
B ottlers who have keen attracted to
permanent investment and homes in
the great Southern Oregon country.
A system c f thorough advertising
of the vast resources of the state
has been undertaken by the Great
Ounii-jl
<>.v . . J is bound to
result iu much advantage to the en
tire state. Coal, vast timber re
sources, cattle and rich valley land
for fanning awaiting the hand of
the bomeseckcr agriculturist in the
region of Coos Buy, the yet-to-be-
importunt port half way between
Portland and San Francisco*
In narniug for their Western
terminal Coos Bay tho company has,
from all evidence, selocted wisely,
fir, in this era of {expansion tho
transcontinental rail connection that
can possess itself of the most ad
vantageous shipping poiuton this
coast lays the foundation for a
slmro of tho future trade of the
Orient which all railroads aio now
reaching out for.
Coos Bay is favored by nature
with more than ordinary uttractions.
The harbor there is decribed ns one
of the fluest in the world and equal
to tho three of the leading harbors
on tho Pacific coast. That it is des
tined for a shipping point seems to
he assured and that it has not de
veloped more rapidly than it has is
merely accidental nnd tho lack of a
railroad undoubtedly.
Oregon’s
opportunities have not been utilized
in the past as they certainly will be
in the future. The kindly hqud of
Nature, has been lavish and the
state lacks hut two things to placo
her in the front rank— population
and capital. Railroad connection
at Salt Lake with one the great
transcontinental system as the Great
Central will be, will make of Marsh
field, Myrtle Point, Empire, Oo-
quillc and Bangor, the latter tho
town site of this company and the
terminal grounds of the road,
flourishing cities whose backbone
will be manufacturing industries of
various kiuds.
The prospect of a railroad
through the timber belts and the
rich agricultural lands of the Ump
qua Valley has already produced
tho needed stimulus. Forming a
junction with tho ¡Southern Pacific
at Roseburg, a prosperous oity,
about 70 miles from the coast, the
Great Central will give that much
needed outlet to all parts of the
country. Headquarters buildings
for the Salt Lake-Coos Bay com
pany are in course of erection nnd
will soon bo completed at Roseburg.
As soon ns this is done the entire
office and engineering force of the
company will be removed to that
city while the purchasing ngeuev
will probably remain in Portland.
The reason for establishing head
quarters near tho scene of actual
operations which will be begun in
the spring eastward through a pass
of the mountains from Roseburg is
to enable the work to bo pushed
with more facility. Notwithstand
ing tho incloment weather every
means is to further the surveying
work from the Oregon end of the
line toward the Salt Lake basin and
grading on the right-of-way will
shortly follow and will proceed as
tho weather will allow.
The Great Central has secured it
is reported, most advantageous sta
tion grounds and land holdings in
the very edge of ttoseburg. The
company has bought up a thousand
acres of laud, it is understood, and
on this ground camp headquarters
will be established for construction
crows.
Major L. D. Kinney, chief en
gineer of the Great Central, is one
tho greatest optimists concerning
this country when railroads gridiron
the now untouched sections of land.
There is scarcely a question raised
that the projected Great Central
will bring increared prosperity to
this country. Tho Great Central is
to further a scheme of colonization
nnd while primarily its interest« lie
in .Southern Crcgon, whatever bene
fits are brought to the country will
bo that much of a benefit to Port
land. All questions relating to
climate, resources and business o p
portunities for Easterners along the
line of the ♦treat C ntral will bo
taken care of bv the bureau of im-
inigiution and colonization whieli : h
being conducted by the Or< d Cen
tral. The address of the bureau is
room 2<1, Ainsworth Block, Port-
laud, and all inquiries will lie care
fully answered.
Coos Bay is the port of < ntry for
Southern Oregon, with the custom
house at Empire City.
From the harbor entrance to the
head of navigation for ocean-going
craft is about 15 miles; over the
first five miles from the entrance
tho controlling depth is 20 feet at
low tide.
Vessels loaded to 17
feet pass from tho mills at tho upper
end of tho bay 17 miles to sea, on
one tide, with no difficulty or delay.
At the entrance of Coos Bay there
has been constructed by Jjihe Gov
ernment undor the direction of the
Engineering Corps, a jetty. It is
situated on the north shoro, which
is a low sand spit. The jetty,which
was built to the intended length,
has been a remarkable success, con
trolling the currents and scouring a
channel to a greater depth than was
anticipated.
This channel has lx>en maintained
for five years at a depth o f from 18
to 22 feet at low water, with but a
single interruption of about three
months, when it shoaled to a depth
of 15 feet at low water. This was
at a tiino when tho outer end of tho
jetty was considerably beaten down
and upon rebuilding of the wall the
usual depth was again secured and
has since increased to a depth of 24
feat at low water. Sixty-ono sound
ings made on Coos Bay bar, at low
tide, show an average of 34.05 feet.
Four soundiugS approximating 300
feet iu distance showed a depth of
25.07 feet.
