While most of their money is invested in property around the bay and there is not a great deal of available cash, there are a large number of men there who can and will subscribe $2000 each to­ ward the fund. “At Florence I found the people very optimistic over the outlock for a rapid growth of their little city. Property values are already going up on account of the prospects of building the road and of the harbor improvement, and there promises to be a veritable boom there in the not far distant future. There are strange men arriving there every day from up and down the coast, who have heard of Florence as a coping sea­ port. much publicity having been giv­ en the town through the fact that the people have voted bonds to improve the harbor, and through agitation for rhe railroad from Eugene. One , drummer who came up from Coos 1 Bay with me on the stage had 120(1 1 pounds of baggage with him. He said he was going to get in on the ground floor at Florence and secure the trade there and hold it when the town grows larger. Other drummers at Coos Bay were also contemplating invading that territory. “You can say that the prospects for building the railroad to Florence and to Coos Bay are very bright, and that there are splendid prospects for a rapid growth and development of both sections of the country."
