Since the advent o f the now railroad from Eu gene to Marshfield, which connects with the form er road running from Marshfield to Powers, the company has been shipping several carloads a day by rail, besides supplying the lo cal market along the Coquille river and the towns o f M arshfield and North Bead.

The plan fo r collecting the rails, as reported from Ottawa, contemplated the rem oval o f some 800 miles o f gov ernment railroad sidings in the East and also long stretches o f track be tween Edmonton and the Pacific coast where two railw ays run parallel, the traffic on botji lines to be accomuto pian, it was said, owed its origin to tne British government, which inti mated that prom pt action o f this kind would probubly rave thousands o f lives, and that new rails could not oe obtaind because o f «he demand -for steel in making munitions. It was estim ated in Ottawa that over 1,000 milea would be torn up in response to the appeal.
