If one leaves Coquille, Oregon, and travels on the road known as the old Cunningham, it will not be long before Fairview is reached- It isai this point that the Cunningham road intercepts or catches up with the Marsh field-Roseburg stage road. It is claimed that Berry Braden chose the name Fairview lor the valley, and truly he chose well, as it is q,fair view from any poiut. At this time it is not as pretty as when everything is in bloom, but to the person who looks for results, this is the lime to visit the place. The golden stubble bespeaks the garnering of a grain crop, and they are plentiful. Then you will note where the hay has been made The more solid products, corn and pota toes are lactors to be reckoned with; then comes the stock, of which the Fairview folk may well boast of. All their cattle are of the best, and the cows are especially chosen for Office Phone Main 211. I A. F. Kirshman, D k n iih t . Office two doors South o f Poat offioe. Coquille . - . Oregon. DR. J.

The stranger will be impressed with the way the Fairview people are housed In fact theit dwellings are modern and compare favorably with the city structures. As yet, the foot hills are free from cultivation, but ere long the new comer will make them ‘•blossom as the rose ” The place is fair to look upon, and my short stay there made me feel as though I would like to return to that state of nature in which we are each o f us born, and which is bounded on all sides by the only 'simple life” worth living.. The people of Fairview will inter est one. They are plain, and have plain ways, and as one o f them told me— they live on plain fare. G. W.

Gage, Sheriff apd Tax £ollpr>tor principal backer» of the enterprise are Idaho bankers, now controlling an electric railway in that state. Mr. Kuettner declined to reveal the identity of these men, but »aid that they had become interested in the Coo* Bay enterprise with the idea of ultimately connecting up the two lines. Almost on a straight line east of Coos Bay, in Idaho, is an electric interurban line, operating lines between Cald well and Boise, a distance of about 30 miles. It is said that ail elec tric line extended across Oregon, east and west from Boise to Coos Bay, would be entirely feasible. “ Our preliminary surveys show that we can get through the moun tains from Roseburg to Coos Bay on a grade not to exceed 1 per cent, and we believe that further surveys will show the possibility of constructing an electric railroad on still better grades,” said Mr. Kuett'- ner, yesterday. “ We expect to begin construc tion on the railroad west from Roseburg next Spring and as there will ba little or no tunneling the entire road to Marshfield can be completed within two years. "W e have investigated condi tions thoroughly in that country and believe that it offers an excel lent opportunity for an electric railroad. We have located two water-power sites with sufficient fall and volume of water to fur nish current for the entire road. The locating of these sites was our first step. One is on a fork of the Coquille river and the other, which is the larger, is on the Umpqua. “ Aside from the water power we have located, power can be pro duced cheaply in that country. The lumber mills are daily burn ing as refuse slabs and poor grades of lumber for which there is no market. The mill* do not have an opportunity to sell their slabs for wood as they do in Portland, and enough fuel goes to waste to sup ply fuel for electric railway power plants. “ The field is untouched by rail roads, yet there is an abundance of tonnage to be obtained. The lumber industry will furnish a large quantity of freight and valu able coal mines are being devel oped along the route. The railway will traverse three valleys, each of which is prosperous. That entire district is rapidly forging to the front with dairy products. It is also rich in mineral deposits. Representatives of our road haye recently discovered graphite in paying quantities. “ The wealth of the district is in dicated by the fact that it has been rapidly building up in pop ulation and improvements in spite of its isolation from railroads. As to paesenger traffic, we believe the railroad will be well patronized from the gtart. The last time the circus wae here 1700 people came out of that territory to see it. “ The road from Roseburg to Marshfield will be about 90 miles long and can be built for about $30,000 a mile. We are co-oper ating with the Commercial Clubs of Roseburg and Coos county for the reason that rights of way can be obtained better in that way. If a railroad operates independently there are generally some persons who try to hold it up on the price on strips of land that are really of little value. “ The company is an independ ent one, not being aligned with any transcontinental railroad. There are some Idaho bankers who are associated with the com pany, but who do not wish their identity known at this time. They already have electric railway interests in Idaho and plan to con nect up the two lines. ' “ There are several feasible pass es through whtch a railway can be built from Roseburg west ” — Ore gonian. ------ ► « --------------- — T h e I t r it P ln s lr r .
