Coos Bay country poised for railroad led growth
The interview highlights Coos Bay potential with a planned rail link to Roseburg to boost harbor traffic, coal, timber and other resources. Local men organize a holding company to raise 260000 for surveys, rights of way and terminals, while Marshfield and North Bend see $100000 in street improvements, new high school, Chandler hotel and strong banking. The bay’s lumber trade remains dominant with a large vessel carrying 226 million feet monthly. Government dredging funds support a 40 foot channel, with hope of early congressional support.
