MORE RAILROADS HEADED TOWARD CITY OF EUGENE El The Guard has always stayed by Colonel Will J. Wilsey and his Oregon Coast A Lantern railway project. When the enterprise was launched it was announced that Eugene would be a ceutre at which two lines of the company would converge and that shops and general offices would be located iiere. Tile Guard was the first paper to announce that the company bad recently started several survey ing crews on the proposed coast line and it was followed by tha Portland papers, two of which have always looked upon the project as a but air scheme. The Portland Journal, which has always expressed faith in the en terprise, yesterday told of tiie plaint to build a valley line from Portland to Eugene to connect with an east and west line from tlie coast to an Eastern connection. The story is as ' follows: The Oregon Coast A Eastern Rail way company will build a valley line from Portland to Eugene, to give a direct route to the East. Preliminary work of tiie company has reached a stage here its plans are becoming ap parent, and W. J. Wilsey, executive bead of the company in Oregon, to day officially admitted that plans are being perfected for a valley route, via McMinnville or some nearby point. A large meeting of citizens Ht Mc Minnville last evening was attended by Mr. Wilsey, who made a statement of what the company is ready to do in exchange for a right of way. Mir or Mason presided, and leading citi- zens manifested a lively iutere-t in the project. A delegation from Sher idan was in attend«! . and was en thusiast ih Gc fi i the iv ’I d al pr< r sitlon. Committees were app dnted to take up light of way matters with the Oregon Coast A Eu.-tun com pany. PROTECTS THE PEOPLE. It was brought out that Mr Wilsey has not traded on any of the fran chises tha have been secured by him in the two years he hus liven worknig on the Oregon Coast A Eastern pro ject, and that every right of way .on- tract is placed in escrow in the Se curity Savings and Trust bank of Portland, to be cancelled and return ed to the people in event that the railread is uot built according to con tract. The company lias placed three sur veying parties in the Held, under well known engineers, to locate the routes of the road in the valley and along the const. From the move uients of these parties it appears Hint tlie road will be built from Port land to Tillamook, via the Wiisou river, and south via Toledo to Coos bay ami Eureka. The line will run east through Eugene and over the Ca cade mountains to a connection with some transcontiuviitid line, ¿the name of which is not yet divulged. The valley line will diverge from the Tillamook line to some pioiit west of Portland, and extend south through or near McMinnville, and on to £u- gene, probably via Corvallis. SURVEYORS AT WORK.

In spite of frequent criticism and abuse that has been directed against the Oregon Coast A Easterp undertak ing by two or three newspapers the work of securing rights of way and completing surveys is going s’eadily on, it is said, and the compauy will within the next few mouths be ready to commence construction. Entrance to Portland will soon be up for con sideration, and the men behind the project say thef are confident they will receive not ouly fair but liberal treatment at the hauils'of this etiy. ROBBERY OF Several months ago, when F. L. Chambers, G. B. Hengen, A. B. Wood and O. B. Paxton applied for a fran chise for the construction of an elec tric railway in Eugene it was an nounced that a steam line would be built from here to the Blue Kiver mines. The Guard was in possession of information that the promoters of the proposed line intended to also build a steam road from Eugene to Cottage Grove, connecting at that place with the Oregon Jt Southeast ern railway, the line extending from Cottage Grove to the Bohemia mires ami owned by Mr. Hengen, Mr. Wood mid several Eastern capitalists, but was not at liberty to use it. A public announcement of this enterprise has now been made in Portland railroad circles. A conference of »he men con nected with tlie project was held iu tha* city Monday and file plan dis cussed. it is said that a franchise to enter Eugene will soon tie asked fur by Hie company and that construction woik on the Cottage Grove Eu.etie and Eugene-Blue River lines will be gin in the not far future. \mong those who were in confer ence in Portland were the folio Hing. G. B. Hengen, of New Yora ; A. B. Wood, of Cottage Grove ; J. A. Eads, of Orseno, Ohio; Join W. Wheeler, of Orange, Mass., and Herbert E. Smith, of New Haven, Conn. This company of men own large in terests in the Bohemia mines and it is said that big improvements and the investment of large sums of money in the district are contemplated. By the intended building of a line to Blue River it is also reasonable to as "lime that much money will be spent I in the mines in that district.
