McARTHUR BROS. n PERKS BACK
PROJECT.
COOS BAY TO GRANTS PASS
Indications toint to Early Building
OF Road From Coast to Central
Oregon.

Under date of September 14th, the
following press dispatch, regarding
the much-talked-of Coquille-Rogue
river railway, was sent out from Co,
quelle, and published in Portland
paper:
THAT Macarthur Bros. & Perks are
backing the project of building a
railroad from interior Oregon to the
coast, was the assertion of their en-
gineer, Il. Valjean, who is here sur
veying a right-of-way through the
valley. The proposed line is to ex-
tend from Port Oxford through Ban
don, the CoQuille valley, Grants Pass
and the Rogue river valley and con-
meet with the Pacific e. Eastern near
Medford The excellent harbors at
Port Orford and at Bandon will be
the two shipping ports, and will thus
receive the produce directly from the
interior.
The project was first made to the
citizens of Coquille few weeks ago
by H. Z. Lee, a railroad promoter,
w4o asked a right-of-way from Tish-
trap to Tampa Creek. a distance of
10 miles, through the valley, and a
bonus of $4,000 for his company
A committee of local business men
George E. Peoples, r. S. Knowlton
]. A. Lamb and George Moulton, are
at work examining the possibility OF
securing the right-of-way and they
report very good prospects.
THE engineer, E. Vatican, survey
ing through this section, recently
moved his temporary headquarter:
from this city to Riverton, from
which point he will conduct the re-
naming survey through the valley
Besides the expense of the survey
the company is reported to have Sc.
cured terminal grounds at Port Or

In the meantime, the officials of
Josephine county are working on the
case against Rich. An attempt will
be made to show that he was actually
married to Miss Cohen, and that his
subsequent marriage to Miss Layton
constituted the crime Of bigamy
That money In plenty will be spent
in Rlchs defense is matter Of COM
mon knowledge and there are those
who will be inclined to doubt the
story as told for Rich by his clever
attorney
There are some points which tend

panied her. to herald broadcast her

MAKERS OF PIONEER
HISTORY VISIT CITY

Fifty-six years is long time
when measured by the span OF
mans life, but it was that long ago
that H. d. Hardness first came to the
Rogue river valley. His coming,
however, was not a matter entirely
OF his own volition, for not having
arrived at years of discretion, he was
still tied to his parents apron
strings.
The Harkness family located on
Grave creek in 1856, and H. d. grew
TO manhood in the mining camps
along that stream, and although he
left the valley in 1889 and located in
eastern Washington, he had a large
part in pioneer history, especially the
history OF the city of Grants Pass,
and on the occasion of his visit yes
terday to the scene of his early man
hood, Mr. Hardness had many inter
esting tales TO relate. He removed
here from Grave creek and became
interested in the mercantile businss
as a member OF the firm of H. B.
Miller & Co., and was later engaged
with Miller, and with Jonathan
Bourne in exploiting the original
townsite of Grants Pass,
Mr. Harkness was also the original
locator of the Greenback mine, upon
which he filed in 1885, and which has
since become one of the producers of
the district.
Since leaving the Rogue valley,
Mr. Harkness has been engaged in
business in various part of eastern
Washington, now residing in Kittitas
county He never lost the faith he
early had in the possibility of future
development of the valley of the
Rogue, and expresses delight that
the town he knew as a struggling vii
lage should now have become a city
of such beauty and promise.
While in the city, Mr.. Harkness is
the guest of that other old-timer, A.
A. Porter, of South Sixth street
***
Another of the histOry-makers of
the valley who is here during fair
week, but who has heard anew the
call of the i.ogue Empire, and may
again cast his lot in our midst, is w.
L. Mcdaniel, who was here during
the seventies" Mr. Mcdaniel was
one of the early school masters of the
county, and it is now a matter of
pride with him to point to this or
that one of our successful citizens
and remark that he taught him his
"abc's." In fact, Mr. Mcdaniel says
that he has found some of his former
pupils who now occupy the dignified
position of a grand parent. The
school he taught was in the Deer
creek district. and Kerbyville the
county seat of Josephine county, was
the center around which the life OF
the valley gyrated

They came up from Balti- more on a special train and on the way talked of the selection of a seasoned manager to run the gov crnOr's campaign. When they left Sea Girt two hours later, most oi them declared that any one whom the governor might name would be elected to the place. As to who this would be whether William McCOmbs, Fred Lynch, Robert Hudspeth A. Mitchell Palmer or any one of half dozen others mentioned for the place would have the preference, Wilson had not decided tonight The gov ernor will meet the committee in Chicago. July 15, stopping off en route.
 There was much difference of Opin- = ion on the way up from Baltimore among delegates as to who should be elected chairman of the committee Lynch who managed the precOnven- tion campaign of the late Governor Johnson of Minnesota and Judge Wade of Iowa, were frequently men, toned. It seemed to be the con sensus of opinion that a man who knows the party leaders in the field would make an ideal leader. There vas no idea of selecting man to- day
 Not long after the arrival of the delegation McCombs, who was re- ported ill in Baltimore, appeared on the governors lawn. He had come On a later train. The governor spied him and left the group to shake hands with him and thank him. They strOlled across the lawn with hands Clasped and held a low conversation.
 Ollie James, permanent chairman of the convention will visit the gov ernor tomorrow or Sunday to arrange the date and details for the formal notification of his nomination.
