Lesson Taught by Circus.
ERDMAN
Portland Journal: A few figures
that tend to show wbat a railroad
would do in the Coos Bay couutry
are given by Walter Lyon, of
Marshfield, who is a Portland visit
or.
Incidentally it shows that
Coos Bay people have money to
spend, for 250 teams went over the
stage roads to Roseburg to atteDd
the Ringling circus.
“Counting four persons to the
team,’’ said Mr. Lyon, “ this means
1000 people, and this is not an over
estimate, I think. The lowest stage
fare from Marshfield to Roseburg is
$6, so the cost, had everyone gone
by stage, would have been $12,000
for the round trip.
That shows
what went out of Coos county to
the circus, saying nothing of what
was spent at Roseburg and the
circus itself.
“ Government figures of steamers
passing over the bar for the last
year shows 13,908 passengers. Up
and dawn Coos rivet there were
37,683 passengers on boats, a total
ol more than 5,000. Taking into
account the increased traffic that
would result if communication were
made east by railroad, and saying
nothing about the increase of popu
lation and development of new sec
tions, some idea can be gained ot
what a railroad would do for itself,
as well as for Coos Bay.”
