Clarke of Marshfield, who delivered an address before the Oregon Idaho Development Congress, Friday, treating of the harbor aud railroad situation at Coos Bay, called at the Oregonian office yesterday to say that he had been misquoted in the report as to what lie said on that occasion. “ I did not say,” said Mr. Clarke “ that Coos Bay people had given up hope of getting Mr. Ilarrimau to build the Drain-Coos Bay rail road. 1 do not know what they hope, but the country is so attract ive as a railroad proposition that their greatest hopes would not be unreasonable. I believe Mr. Har- riman will build a line into Coos Bay and expect he will announce the resumption of work in the spring. “ My reason for this is that I have received information that railroad construction will be com menced at Coos Bay within a year by another company than the Southern Pacific, and if nothing happens, like a financial disturb ance or a national disaster, I be lieve the Southern Pacific will find it convenient to protect its inter ests on the bay by building its proposed line. I did point out to the people at Roseburg the fact that 140,000 people living in the six counties of Lane, Douglas, Coos.
