Within the next 60 days, work on the Coos Bay branch of the South ern Pacific will be begun, and witLin a year trains are expected to be running into (bat long-neglected section of the state. The work will be let by the Harriman officials to contractors as soon as the steel and material are on the ground. This is pouring into Drain, the point of divergence of the branch from the main line of the Southern Pacific, over 1000 tons of steel hav ing already been received there from Eastern manufacturers. About 10,000 tons will be required to com plete the new Tine, and the remain der will be received here within the next few weeks. Maps of the route to be followed by the line are now being perfected and rights-of-way secured. The Coast Mountains will offer a barrier to easy| construction, making numer ous tunnels necessary. In line with the practice now followed by mod. ern railroad builders, the road will be built with as few curves and grades as possible, regardless of the expense in cutting holes through tbs sides of the mountains. Tres tles will be avoided wherever fills can be made, and the management of the Southern Pacific will not spare expense in building a roadbed that will be first-class. An appro priation of $4,200,000 has been made to cover tbe cost of the ex tension. The route as projected runs west from Drain to Elkton creek, where ic follows the grades of that stream to its junction with the Umpqua, when it parallels the latter to the coaBt, taking in the towns of Elkton and Scottsburg, striking Winchester Bay, on the south side of the river, and running through North Bend to Marshfield. The total distance is 81 miles. The steel to be used is the heavy 72-pound rail.— Ore gonian. “ I am trying to make suffering fashionable,” says Orleneff, the Rus sian actor.

These letters will appear once a week in a select list of the leading American daily news papers, among which is the Journal. Tbe Bryan letters in tbe Sunday Journal will make clear the poiDt of view of foreign countries on . many of the questions which now confront us. Few men are better qualified to treat large questions in a large way than Mr. Bryan, and no one who wishes to keep abreast o f the times can afford to miss these letters. The Sunday Journal is a great newspaper, filled with “good things.” With its beautiful color supplements, its cartoonists like Op- per, Swinnerton, Sullivant, Howarth and others of like renown; with its special staff of famous writers, in cluding such stars as Ella Wheeler Wilcox, Mrs. John A- Logan, Mrs' Osborne, Mrs. Henry Symes, Lady Henry Somerset, Beatrice Fairfax, Max Nordeau, Maurice Maeterlinck, Count Tolstoi, Prof. Garrett F. Serviss, and humorous sketches by George V. Hobart (Dinkelspiel), Wex Jones, William F. Kirk and others, and with all the world’s news by leased wire, and the home news.

There is no doubt that a comparative saving can be made in tbe Indian Office, in the Public Land Office, the Patent Office, the Bureau of Education, tbe Pension Office, all of which are attached to this department. Now when like economies shall be enforced in tbe Navy Department, the Post Office Department, the Treasury, the Army, the Department of Justice and that of Commerce and Labor, and of Ag riculture. we will approach nearer that millenium when public offices are regarded as public trusts and i are conducted with some regard to I decency, economy, and the interests | of the people.
