LLAMETTE PACIFIC WILL
REACH COOS BAY IN SPRING
Eugene Card: The Willamette Pa
cific railway bridge across Lako Creek
was completed Saturday and today
-tracklayers fifty miles from Eugene
are pushing the steel rails toward Ma
pleton, the head of tidewater on the
Siuslnw. Tho last bridge before the
tilroad crosses the Siuslaw at Acme
lias been crossed, and rails from Eu
gene are being rushed nt the rato of
1,000 feet a day.
The first locomotivo will reach Ma-
pleton within ten days. Seven and a
half miles of track remain and only
heavy rains and bad weather can de
lay tho work. Such is tho word that
was brotigh back by W. R. Fountain,
assistant engineer on tho Willamette
Pacific, who last week mado a trip
ovor tho route or tho now railroad
from Coos Bay to Eugene.
I Id found a force of 1200 men at
work between tho Siuslaw and Coos
Bay, with the contractors enthusias
tic in the belief that the entire grade
between Acmo and Marshfield can be
Icoiitplolod this fall. Tho tunnel crows

cific road to Coos Ifc-.y will lie ready
for steel by the owning of spring,
and the middle 'of summer may see
completed the line which will tap the
wealth of- Coos Bay timber, coal and
dairies, directly through Eugene.
The bridge across Coos Bay is al
ready under construction. Great
bunkers have been filled with gravel
and materials that tho work may cotn-
tinuo all winter.
Tiie steel is on hand for the draw
bridge across the Siuslaw river at
Acme. The work can be carried on
through tiie winter, and is expected
to bo started at any time.
The laying of rails will stop at
Ma pleton, according to Mr. Fountain.
Grade has been completed to Acme,
with tho exception of approximately
a mile, where the right of way has not
yet been completed, and only further
delay in obtaining this right of way
will stop the progress of the rail lay
ing crew before it reaches Acmo this
fall. There are no steel bridges to be
constructed along this distance of
roadbed.
Mr. Fountain found Maploton plan
ning a big celebration to mark the
arrival of tho steel rails which mean
the tapping of this Siuslaw country
and the Siuslaw harbor. Tho date of
this has not yet been set. Passenger
service will not be extended to Map
leton until the rails have been sur
faced and at least partially ballast
ed. This will take several weeks.
It is probable that one big celebra
tion with an excursion from Eugene
will mark tho formal opening of the
new line of traffic to tho head of tide
water at Mapicton.
BANDON CONSTRUCTION CO.
HAS SOME MORE BAD LUCK
The Bandon Construction Co., who
have tho contract for the bridge
across the Chetco river, are certainly
playing in hard luck. After losing a
scow mentioned in the Globe some
time ago, another scow from Bandon
was brought down last week. Upon
this scow wore about ten thousand
feet of lumber and somewhere from
six hundred to one thousand sacks of
cement, hi an. attempt to brinir the
scow over tho liar into the river it
went ashore and has since irono to
pieces, lhe scow and cement nro u
total loss and a very small per cent
of the lumber was saved. It is es-
imated that the loss to the Company
will amount to fuliv three thousand

COUNCIL CONSIDERS OREGON
AND BANDON AVENUES
An adjourned meeting of the city
council was held Friday night and
about the only matters of importance
that came up were the consideration
Oiegon and Bandon Avenues. In
both instances remonstrances were
sent in against tho opening of the
streets, and the Bandon Avenue re
monstrance was signed by a major
ity of the property owners along that
street. The Oregon Avenue remon
strance was referred to the city en
gineer to figure out whether the re
monstrators owned sufficient proper
ty to stop the work of the street and
he will report at the next council
meeting. '
The matter of electing another
councilman to take the place of C. R.
Moore was laid over until the next
meeting. J. Ira Sidwell was elected
at the" liiceling Wednesday night but
declined to serve and the members
desired a little more time to look
around for a suitable man to fill the
place, and one who would accept.

COOS COUNTY EXHIBITS
GOING FORWARD NOW
Amid largo mysterious bottles of
all types of preservatives and with
ids room chuck full of "blue ribbon'
products shipped direct here from the
fair at Myrtlo Point, J. A. Ward is
busy these days getting ready the
Coos county agricultural exhibit for
tiie Panama Pacific Exposition.
When tho Nnnn Smith sailed soull
Wednesday she carried fourteen boxes
of well-packed, high grade apples,
the first of the exhibit to tko fai
from Coos county. Those will be
placed in cold storago until tho open
ing of the Exposition in February
Arrangements Have been mado so
tiiat all products which will keep it

of San Francisco.
Special exhibits of fruits or extrc
argo and 'Well developed vegotnbloe
,vill be paced in big jars with a pre
paration of formaldehyde as a pre
servative. In his rooms on Front
Street, where lie has made a wotl
shop during tho past fow days, Mr.
Ward has corn, apples, peaches
grapes and turnips in those jars.
That tho coloring may be kept dur
ing the many months tho products
will be stored, a great deal of caro is
necessary in mixing the solution.
Exhibits of Coos and Curry coun
ties will ho shown together nt. the Ex
position. $5000 is the amount to be
raised for exhibition purposes. Of
this amount Curry county will donate
one-fourth. This money will pay foi
the service of an export who will find
out tho best exhibits, will prepare
them and who will eventually have
them arranged in tho Oregon build
ing.
All over tho county Mr. Ward has
men on tho lookout for products that
will look well in the exhibit. Not on-
does ho want agricultural products
but a .greater emphasis will bo plac-
(1 on tho wood and dairy exhibits, on
tho mineral products, and as well what
southwest Oregon lias in the way of
sea foods.
Formaldehyde is used as a basis
n the preservative and glycerine is
introduced to bring tho solution to
about the same density as canning
syrup. Fruit or vegetables that arc
cry ripe arc unable to stand the li
quid nnd burst. It is for this reason
that Mr. Ward is cxtrcmoly auxoius
o get all the products while tlioy ore
n good condition.
Root product he expects to keep
through tho winter in dry sand and
shavings. The boxos to bo sont south
next week contain several varieties
apples. When taken from cold
torago they will last but a fow days
nd for this roason only part of tho
pplcs will be taken out for exhib
ition at one time and only ono layer
in n box will be shown. With this
system it will bo possible to exhibit
Coos county apples for several weoks.
During the winter Mr. Ward will bo
kept busy scurrying ovor tho two
counties getting together his other
exhibits. Coot Bay Times.

Tho following telegram was receiv
ed by The Recorder from Congress
man Huwley Saturday evening:
Washington, 10-10-M.
Uandon Recoider, Bar.doir, Ore,
I had ninety thousand dollars for
Coquille rivor in bill as passed tho
louse and was urging that amount
md thought it would bo allotod from
tho twenty million. When Senate ro-
luced the amount to twenty millions

IIAWLEY.
The telegram shows that Congress
man Uawloy did Ida part to got the
appropriation through the House and
succeeded, hut owing to the grout op
position tho Rivers and Harbors bill
received in the Senate, und the cut-
ing down of tho same to twenty mil

t Is evident that the Columbia river

out of the funds that aro left.
It may bo that this fact is charge
able to the Oregon Senators, both of
whom seem to bo playing for Port
land's favor.
There is ono fact ovoident at any
rate, and that is that the lack of ade-
luate appropriations in this district
anot lie charged to Congressman
Hawley. Even tho Democratic -mem-
ers of tho Rivers and Harbors coin-
mitteo stated that our congressman
nindc the best plea for his constitu
ency and his projects that waa put

Mr. Hawley states that ho will con
tinue to make an effort to get more
noncy. for the Coquille project, and
it may be that he will succeed in got
the upropriation eniargod, even
though lie does not get tlw full nine
