THE EXAMINEE'S IGNOUANCE
Usnnlly wiso railroad men eoufcfs they
are considerably mystified regarding tho
latest projected line irom Cooa liny, cm
Iho Oregon coast, to Stilt Lake. Tho en
lerprlee involves two Oregon corpora
iona, tho Great Central Railway and
tho Utah Western Railway. The former
!s to build the lino across Oregon, whilo
the other company will continuo tho
toad to Salt Lake. Tho entire distancu
la 9L0 mile?, ami the estimated cost of
tho xoed is tao.OCO.ft.'O.
Neither James J. IiiU nor E. II. Har
roman is likly to bo intcrostod in this
project. Ilarriman certainly would have
ho uso for seen a road. II 111 mLjht find
It useful in case his BurIlngtou llco is
extended to Salt Lk. with tJ-e Clark
road as a southern zrtn to Los Angeles
aud the Coos Hay project as a nortiicrn
branch. Cooa Buy is an insignificant
pott, but along the propoaod road aro
valuable coal cad timber lands,- -5. F,
Examiner.
The Examiner is cxcuiablo for not
knowing any too much about tho pro
posed road, but the ignorance displayed
In tho last tbreo lines ia ir.excuw.ble in
.-. journal that proftsws to know any
thine about the Pacific coast.
The inspired idiot who wrote' those
Jinta should Etady up bis geography a
-ittle, and & dip into ci:rrent lltorr.turo as
it sppean in the Auocie.tel Prose dis
patches would not hurt 1 im any. He
could find matter in tho government re
ports that would cnliihten him wonder
;ully. The Examiner ought to know that
.there is n creator depth of water on tho
Coos Hay bar today than there ia on the
.Columbia bar, and that tho entranco Ib
in every other regard vastly superior.
Tho Examiner ouht a'.eo to know that
tho present depth of water hag been at
tained without linlf the work projected
by the government engineer?, and that
tho completion of tho work laid would
be likcly'tto give us as great a depth as
Jias tho bar outside San Francitce bar
bor itself.
When the Examiner says of tho best
harbor between San Francisco and
I'uget eound that it "is an insignificant
port," it fallows nn amazing ignoranco
of tho facta,
If tho Examiner had more than tho
merest glimmering of knowledge on tho
Eubject, it would know that tho "valu
able coal lands" of which it speaks as
being "along tho proposed road," are all
on Coos Boy and In what ia known by
tho government geologists as tho "Coos
Hsy Coal Fields" Thi timber land also,
of which it wrltos, la nenrly nil directly
tributary to (Jwa Hay, Tho Examiner
would bettor tend its young men to
echool.
MUNICIPAL 0WNEU8?llII
(Argonaut)
Tho board of supervisors has bogun tho
actual work of acquiring n street i all
way by tho city. An ordinance has been
,iir..t .i.i.,..i,,.. ii. n ..,,i.it i..t
adopted declaring that public Intorost
r.
demands tho construction and operation

of a street railway extending from Teuth.

Avenue nr.d I-ulJon Street to tho Inter.;
section of Market and Geary Street?,
and Mayor Schmitz haa nppcndel hia
signature to the ordinance. It remains
now for ttto proposition of issuing bonds
to be .submitted to tho voters, and if tliitj
I. favorably acted upon, tha.e will bo
nofurther delayregardlng this part of tho
oystcm. A project to "xtend tho lino
down Markot Street to tho ferries will
be acted upon as toon as City Attorney
Lsno advises tho supervisors ns to tho
necessary itops to bo token.

It may be well to review tho r-ituation '
f riitly, jusi for tho eako of pn:tlti th

tereste there that have bcuti demanding !

that much ol the work hf camo hure to
do has been accompl.h?d and that

It will probably devoiope that Mnjor

It is persistontly rrportei) that all
thu engineers have been uisclmgcd from
the work, ami this in tpic of the fact
that a full crew of engineers ii mUltied
among ttio 75 men vmplo)!. It may
surprise tome to learn that 75 men aro
at work, for they aro Mattered at several
