RAILROAD WORK TO

Republicans-Oregon
Francis J. 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,

son were entitled to a short road
