San Francisco, August 31. – If George Gould carries out his plans within a short time he will have reached the Pacific coast with a railroad in two places, one in California and the other in Oregon. While the two roads may separate corporation identities, the management will be something like that of the Union Pacific and Oregon Short Line. By the same interest the Western Pacific is to connect Gould’s system at Salt Lake with San Francisco, while the Coos Bay road is to form a link between Salt Lake and the northwestern coast. It is the intention to build up the port of Coos Bay, which will bid against Portland and Seattle for the great and growing trade between the Pacific northwest and Siberia, China, Corea [print] and Japan. The construction of the Siberian railroad has given an immense impetus to the trade of the northwestern ports and Gould, backed by Rockefeller, is determined to have a share of it. The Coos Bay road has not been surveyed, but as projected in a general way it runs from Coos Bay, 100 miles north of California line, southwest through the rich timber and agricultural districts of Southern Oregon, across northern Nevada and Utah into Salt Lake. + [M note, end of article in print; no signature; if needed, see if Coast Mail finishes.] [cp] Hon. Binger Hermann, representative in congress form the first district of Oregon, has been spending a couple of days on the Siuslaw informing himself of the needs of this section of the state, its resources and development. He came in by way of Eugene, arriving at Mapleton Wednesday noon. Here he was met by a delegation of citizens from Florence and Acme and conveyed to the latter town. Thursday morning he took a trip around the town, visiting mills and other places of interest, then boarded the steamer for Florence. Here he received a hearty welcome by the citizens, during the afternoon took a trip to the jetty on the steamer Lillian, accompanied by several of the business men of Florence and Acme. After spending some time looking over the work already done, considering the plans for the jetties as drawn by the engineers, and acquainting himself with what is needed to improve the bar, the party returned to town. Mr. Hermann expressed himself as greatly pleased at the improvement made on the river since his last visit thirteen years ago. He remained here over night and left early this morning on Barrett’s stage. – Florence West. + Wm.

It seems that Lex and a couple of companions were out on the marsh hunting ducks, and that in some manner, in crawling under some brush or through a thicket, the gun carried by young Thompson, one of the trio, was discharged in some manner, the load of shot taking effect in the forward part of young Cope's right leg, just below the knee. Dr. Green, of Dairyville, was called to attend the wounded boy, and he in turn called Dr. Kime of this place to assist him. Both bones were shattered and the leg so badly torn that it was found necessary to amputate it just above the knee, and the patient is doing as well as could be expected under the circumstances.

A few moments later a pistol shot was heard, and he was found lying on the floor unconscious, with a bullet hole just above his temple.
