Editor of The Times: I see an ar ticle In Wednesday evening's Times signed by Messrs. Kuettner and Haas relative to their proposition of build ing and promoting an electric road to this point from Roseburg. It would seem from this communication that they feel that they have not received fair treatment while here by a part of the committee that met them and that an injustice was done them by an Interview given to The Times by myself, wherein it was suggested that they were representatives of the Southern Pacific Company. Further that a hurried committee was sent to Itoseburg after they came, to thwart them In their undertaking there. This. I believe, is the substance of their statement on which they base their complaint of unfair treatment or using their own terms, "Double dealings." I have no time or dis position to enter Into a personal wordy altercation or dispute with these gentlemen In relation to this matter." The Interview relative to their be ing connected with the Southern Pa cific Company, was more intended to answer the criticism of the public here that felt that we had given too much consideration to these men, not knowing who they represented rather than any criticism of Mr. Kuettner and Haas. In the interview com plained of, I stated positively that those statements did not originate from any member of the committee that met those gentlemen, but that we believed them to be gentlemen . and reliable. The editor of The Times was Informed on that occa sion by' several reliable business men that it was a mistake t,o have given those gentlemen any information whatover for the reasons stnted In my interview; and criticism was In dulged In by some of the largest sub scribers to the C. D., b. & I. Co. In fact so strong became the local sen timent thnt the committee was more criticised than commended for giv ing any consideration to the Haas Kuettner proposition. Now, ns to tholr complaint of sending a commit tee to counteract anything they may have done In Itoseburg, would say that that committee was appointed by the board of directors of our com pany before we ever knew that Mr. Kuettner and Hans were here to make any proposition of nny kind. So the statements they have made in this regard are wrong and mib leadlng, as was their statement. "That they wore Invited to meet a commit tee of the Chamber of Commerce In which the Chamber of Commerce asked them to make a proposition pertaining to the taking over of the survey of tho C. R, H. & I. Hy. Co." The Chamber of Commeice did not invito them or make any suggestions whntevor as to the disposing or turn ing over tho survey, on tho contrary Mr Kuettner' and Haas through their attorney, Mr. Snover, came bo roro tho executho committee, when considering other matters and askod that the Chamber of Coinmoico se lect a committee to hear a piopogl tlon from Mr. Kuettner and Haas, ivhleli was appointed by Dr. McCor niac. Thoy nmdo no definite prop osition to tho coinmittoo nt its first mooting anil In foot withdrew fiom the committee when they were told the full history of tho commeiicoinont and the wotk of tho Chamber of Commeico of Coos Raj Calling ngaln In the nltornoon, the Mild they would suggost thnt the write up in n Rosoburg paper was about their proposition and In sub stance as follows: That If the citi zens would ndvanco the money for the survey and ilght-of-wny thoy would guaiuntee to build. This they wore tola by our coinmltteo was an rt lndeflnlto pioposltlon ns wo would not Know now mucn money it would require for either survey or rlght-of- wny. Thoy wore farther told that In considering their proposition, that Uio whole matter would have to bo submitted to those who had contrib uted to our projeet, or about 150 persons. It was also misleading for them to go to Itoseburg nnd Myrtle Point and load those pooplo to bolleve we had abnndonod our proposition and were Joining Willi liiein in iiiu uicuiriu eal. The committee treated them fairly and, as gentlemen, gave honest Kinney and Central Buildings the Titles Postpone Formal Opening. At a special meeting of the North Bend school board a vote was taken naming the new high school, the Kinney High School In honor of the donor of the site and changing the name of the Union street school to the Central school. Immediate steps will be taken to have walks laid around the Kinney building, connecting with the new walk built by the city. An extension will be run from the west entrance to connect with the street west of the building. Owing to the fact that somo of the furniture and equipment has not been received the formal opening of the school will not take place until sometime between October 15 and October 30 at which time, the friends and patrons of the school will have an opportunity to see the active working of the school In all Its branches. The program for the formal open ing will be announced later. The North Bend schools will open as announced next Monday, both the Kinney and Central buildings being occupied should there be sufficient call a special room will be opened In the Kinney school for boys and girls who are not regularly classified or who aro too old and large for their grade. Record of Centuries Effort to Reach the Farthest North. GIFT DAY AT FAIR. At- -Milbltors at Seattle Plan Novel traction For Satin day. SEATTLE, Sept. 15. A scheme, nlmost diabolical In Its ingenuity has beqn planned by the exhibitors at tho Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, for their day nt the fair, Saturday, September 18th. They proposo on this day that eve ry paid admission at the gates shall bo entitled to a prize of somo kind; nnd accordingly they have pledged 60,000 articles, worth anywhere fiom fifty cents to $50, for distribu tion among the people who see the fair that day. The ingenuity of the scheme lies in the fact that each tic ket contains a number but nothing else by which tho prize may be In dentlfled. The holder of a ticket must begin a search among the vari ous exhibit buildings, in order to lo cate and claim his prize. The exhibitors feel that this scheme Is sure to work. People they say, will flock by the thousands to tho fair, for the purpose of drawing a $50 prize on a fifty-cent ticket. Thus tho exhibitors appeal to the cupidity of the public, and touch the weak spot most people, who desire, above everything else, to get some thing for nothing. At any rate, there will be a day of hurrying and scurrvlne through the various exhibit buildings. In a wild search for prize. It will be the old game of following up the tangled string, without th string to follow. NEW YORK, Sept. 1G.
