’’The people of Coos Bay are will
ing to raise as much as Eugene does,”
said Dr. Leonard, ’’toward a fund to
start the railroad.
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."
