Wnltor B. l'lorco, who was horo looking ovor tlio country with a vlow of. railroad building, was highly ela ted. In tho llosoburg Nowa nppoars tho following: "1 tun simply nmnzed at tho coun try lying between llosoburg and Mnrshflold," snld Walter E. l'lorco, tho railroad builder, upon his roturn from Myrtio 1'llnt, Coquillo City and Mnrshllcld this nftomoou. "I novor had any Idea that Marsh- Hold was blessed with a dcop wator harbor such as greeted my oyes yen torday," continued Mr. l'lorco, "nei ther had I any idea of tho amount of standing timber that only awaits transportation facilities when it will bo moved and placed on tho mar kots of tho world. Mnrshllcld, I be- Hove, is destined to becomo ono of tho best towns on tho Pacific CoaBt, whllo Myrtio Point, Dandon and Co quillo City will continue to grow un til they attain a substantial popula tlon. Coos county, In genoral, Is blessed with tho natural advantages and resources which nosuro its do vclopmcnt. Tho dcop wator harbor at Marshflold( Is In ltsolf an asBot which cannot help but mako Coos county ono of tho foremost sections of tho entire northwest." Mr. Plorco waB also astonished nt tho vast acroago of timber lying bo tweon llosoburg and Mnrshflold. This tlmbor, ho said, was not only to bo found In quantities but was of such a quality ub to rondor it In domand nt tho hands of tho mlllmon who supply tho world's mnrkots. "This tlmbor will movo within tho next fow years," said Mr. Plorco, "notwithstanding that tho lumber market Is somowhat dormant at ho present tlmo." Mr. Plorco wns nccompalod to Mnrshflold by his chlof ouglncor, J. Stovonson, J. W. Perkins and II. M. Fnrron. Other than visiting Marsh Hold, Coquillo City and Myrtio Point, thoy visited a number of smnllor and less important cities along tho coast.

Roseburg Paafer Advocates .Improvement of Part of Overland Sta(je Route. Tho llosoburg Ilovlow advocate! tho improvement of a part of th Btngo road In that county. Tho following appears In tho Re-J vlow: Douglas county coculd use a gang of stato convicts to very good ad vantage Just at this tlmo of tho year In Improving a 10-mllo strotch Of rond that has long bcon a shatndtul reproach to her administration. The, piece of road in question extend from Camas Valley to tho Coos coun ty lino. Not ovor flvo families llv adjacent to It. Most of tho abuttln land, houvlly timbered, Is owned b: wealthy non-residents, oaslly able to bear a just snaro of tho oxponso necessary to mako at least toinporar: tmtirnvninnn f in unnrlmntf TIKI claBB soldoin, if ovor, takes tbo inl-lt' tlativo In bucIi matters, and It sooins V that If anything Is to bo duno It will havo to orlglnato from tho county court. , Onco this strotch of road is put' into paBBablo condition for winter travel it Is fairly good In othor scans of tho year thoro will be a road road clear through from this rltv tn Mvrtln Pnlnt. ltd rnndltlnn '.ll.ltlr .t. Itfnt rnnwtnr 1. tt tt tjnn laillll UUtiUb bilU TTUb DVHDUU UUU UVVU hUI described as a ','dlsgraco to tho coun ty," a sorlcs of treacherous ruts and uustablo grades that simply dofy alt traffic, oxcopt tho pack-horso meth od, and oven this has had to bo dl vorted at times for tho safety of life and limb. Making tho condition of tho road stand out inoro promlnontly than anything olso Is tho woll Improved road in Coos county that connects with It at ornoar tno county bound' nrv. Coos county's irrcat strldoB in road building during tho pact two or ' tureo years is a rnattor or widespread public knowledge. Sho has practi cally rebuilt a larno portion of the highway botweon Myrtio Point and-' mo Douglas county lino, putting tne road on n pormanont bed and on grades that for tho moat part would readily answer for railroad purposes. But nt tho DouglaB county lino tho bottormont has stoppod, Tiic contract botweon tna t roads Is at onco so glaring that com- tnont is Inevitable. Tho cbnractor of advertising that Douglas county receives from this sourco roqutroa no montton; and It recolves plonty of It. Bcoros of pcoplo travel ovor tho road ovory month whon trnvol Is posslblo, and sonio of thorn novor go ovor It but onco. Thcso afterward go to Coos county by way of Drain, or by Btonmor, thereby causing a lots of thousands yf dollars annually In tourist travol to this city. This faqt alono should put an and to the apathy on part of thoso whoso duty t 1b to act. It Is estimated that tho ten mUoi of roads can bo temporarily Im proved for tho wot soason for about 12000. To mako tho lmprbvombht pormanont would roqulro fully flvo times that amount. Tho fow Bottlers1 In tho region cannot afford to shouldor mora than a vary uinatt traction of tho oxponso, Tho rim' bor barons will not act. It's up to tho county court, thoroforo, to do something and to do it whllo the weather permits of work. It has offorod to furnish thd ma chinery, If others will pay for tho rest of tho Job. Tho offor Is con sidered absurd. Tho fow r6sfdenu' whoso property Ib directly Involved aro holpless, and tho mall cbntrac tors aro not required by tho govern ment to aid in such projects. Tax nnvnrfl oast of tho bad link in the highway aro Interested only In the road that will onablo thorn to got 'to llosoburg. Thoy aro ndt concornod In tho ton ratio strotch from Camafl to tho Coos cbunty border, , They havo no business Intorests'ln that dl-, roctlon. Thoy aro doing splendid work In Improving tho road' all tb' way botweon Camas and Rosebtirsf . but that neglected ton miles 'wilt havo to bo flod bofdro wot weather ' sots In. Who's going to do UT Or is It going to ho loft, as In years past. In tho samo old Indescribable condition to bo referred to with scorn as "a dlsgraco to Douglas county." Frequon): complaint of tho road has roached tho postal dopartment at Washington, and attention ban boen called to tho law that permits a mall contractor to ceaso service on account of ImpaBsablo roads, This pleco of road is so situated that it can bo permanently In. proved. It Is not llko tho Brewdter grade, on tho Mnrshflold road, which is mountainoua and unavoidably troublosomo during tho wet months. It lies along the water level, alm5t ontlroly freo from possibility of slides. It requires an expenditure of money on part of someone, and the county court Is the only body In position to act with effect. Tbo cost of labor could bo reduced to a mini mum by tho uso of stato convicts, which could bo employed Just' for the cost of koo'plng. It this is the only way tho work cau be per formed for tho. least money why not get busy at once and soo that It is done? j, RANI) RANCH at EAGLES HAIi Saturday Might, September 7. . R. J.
