DEVERS TELLS ALL ABOUT
THE COOSIBAY' COUNTRY

The Tribune caught P. A. DeVers on
the fly and finally persuaded him to
give the following interview regard
ing the Coos Bay country where he
holds extensive interests. In reply to
the question, Tell us something to
publish about the far famed Coos Bay
country" he said
Its hard for anyone who knows
the country to speak of it in conserva-
tive terms. The mind is fascinated
when it seeks to analyze it's possibili-
ties through development of it's har-
Dor and its coal, timber and other re-
sources. Although much is doing there
all the time in the way of new devel-
opment, even without a railroad, but
a railroad to take care of the travel
alone would give astonishing impetus
to its present activity. It's splendid
harbor affords ample facilities for
handling heavy traffic especially in
cargo shipments, but railroad would
make 1t possible to handle part cargo
shipments without rehandling at Port
land and San Francisco. The people
are alive to this fact and have already
set about to correct it. They have
organized local holding company to
bring about the building of railroad
from the Bay to Roseburg on the
Southern Pacific. Local men of means
and energy are behind it. They are to
be Joined by the Roseburg people. Be-
tween them they are to raise $3.50, 900
with which to make complete surveys,
procure rights of way, and terminal
facilities at both places, including wa
ter frontage at the Bay. They have
assurance, when this is done, of am
pie financial assistance to complete
the project, in which they will get
stock for their original outlay.
But aside from all this, much has

L. H. Cody is the first to purchase a
portable sheep shearing machine in
this section of the country. He bought

and did his first job of shearing for
John Thorp. The capacity Of the ma
chine depends on the experiences of the
operator. The number OF sheep
handled varies from 200 TO 400 head
per day. The price is somewhat
higher than shearing by hand, but
Mr.. Cody says that the extra cost is
more than made up by the increase of
