N ote and Comment.
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

Bryan Abroad.
W. J. Bryan will write a series of
letters while on his two-year tour of
foreign lands. 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. The Suuday Journal is a
thoroughly representative news
paper.
The Journal is “ the paper of the

The Keep Commission, as it is
called, consisting of three capable
men appointed by the President to
investigate the several Departments
in Washington with a view of im
proving methods of work and of
lopping off unnecessary expendi
tures has been tbe butt of much
cheap journalistic ridicule, but the
President’s recent order to tbe Gov
ernment Printing Office, which is
based on the report of tbe Keep
Commission will result in a saving
of a million and a half of dollars in
the Government Printing Office
alone, and this office is only one di
vision of what is known as the In
terior Department over which Mr.
Hitchcock as Cabinet Officer has
charge. 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
