Congressman Wilson, of Arizona,
a millionaire railroad man and presi
dent of the now Electric Railway
Company which expects to buildand
operate a line from Portland to Eu
gene, arrived via Drain yesterday.
Messrs Wilson, Eby and Diers
came over the proposed route to
Coos bay on foot and thoroughly
investigated the available route.
This new electric railway project
is meeting with the most hearty
support throughout Marion, Polk,
Benton
Linn, Lane and Douglas
counties having secure rights of
way and franchises to build along
public highways in said counties.
The aforesaid franchises are null
and void unless actual work begins
on the roadbed within 90 days from
the time the franchise was given.
These gentlemen are in earnest
and are out trifling. The proposed
electric line may be Coos bay’s first
rescuer in tbe shape of an outlet.
The rxad which is to be built down
the Willamette valley to Eugene is
to be a regular standard gauge
roadbed
The party was taken out over the
bar in the launch Teddy and shown
the outlet o f our bay. They were
more than satisfied. The bar was
as smooth as glass and the oppor
tunity was a grand one to view the
best harbor on the Pacific between
Golden Gate and puget Sound.
The party returned to Roseburg via
Coos Bay Wagon road early this
morning.— Post.
