The MarshfleM Mail of a recent date says: . InfoiPiatlon is aj. hand which may be satd to be authentic that the Southern Pacific railroad eompnny will announce the construction of the Drain railroad into Coos Buy. The announcement will not come ir.i med iately, It Is said, hut the date for the same is understood to be about KVb ruary first. The history of the Drain route is well known lo all on Coos May who have been residents more than three yKirs. but newcomers are not so well acquainted with the de tails. In 1900 the- company an noinced that it would build a branch road from Drain and the samo sum mer assembled great quantities of rails, bridge material and other rail road supplies, at Drain, and also at ScottNbui'K, the head of navigation on the Umpqua river, along which the route was surveyed. A great deal of grading, clearing right of way, and tunnel work waa done in the Benson of 1 9 JO but the work was stopped with the exception of tunnel boring that winter and was never resumed. The rails and other material as sembled at Drain wev-i romovtd, tlv 'camps wen? disbanded and the Iprjre juantity of cement that was talMi , to Scottsburg have been slowly yoing t out of the country. The enmpnay j made no promises but let the whole thing drop and the people of Coos i Bay had no hope of a railroad, until J this summer when the Coos Hay, Ore , gon and Idaho people got busy and j started an actual survey from this i section to the Interior. Ever since, I that survey was launched, the South- orn Pacific people have shown con siderable interest in the Coos Bay railroad situation, and now there are two officials-of that company in the Coos Bay country, though their iden tity is not known. What these men are here for is of course a matter of conjecture, but those who view things from a stand point of understanding are satisfied that these officials are on the ground for the purpose of sizing up the re sources of the country and ma':lng a report to the company that will show whit mav be actually expected of this section in the way of frelgh and passenger traffic. It is further believed that thev are probably under orders to look Into the Coos Bay, Oregon and Idaho rail road situation and report the attitude of the people of this section towards that company.. And here comes In the position that many are taking In the present situation. It Is said that the South ern Pacific quit work on the Coos Bay line and left the country with out a railroad after havlrg promised relief in that way. It is now statr-d that the peojple should stay by the Cor-s flay, Oregon and Idaho people under every circumstance that may arise; if the Southern Pacific wishes to build that every resident of the country should encourage the lea in every way with this exception: that the Coos Bay, Oregon and Idaho peo ple should retain the confidence and good will of every citizen of Coos county and there should be no change of faith. It is plain to every thinking man tH&t the only thing which has caused any revival of In terest In the Southern Paclfis people in the Coos Bay railroad situation Is the activity of the Haines survey, and therefore the local people are confronted with the Imperative de mand Ihat they, stay by the new rail road project and to the end If any nope for a railroad Is to be expected. The Snuth'-rn Pacific has footed us once, but a repetition Is out of the question. Such is the feeling among those who are talking about the hope of a rallrond. Chief Engineer F. A.

MYRTLE CREEK ITEMS Mrs. Hnttio Bogue has returned to Mrtle Creek from Texas where she has been spending the past few months keeping house for one of hur sons. The dam at the mill on South Myrtle went out Monday night, and let several hundred loge 30 down the stream, and the damage Is reported us quite' heavv. Mrs. Dement, of Missouri bottom, has been taken to Mercy Hospltul for treatment, and Mr. and Mrs. Her man of Roseburg, are taking care of things auriux her absence. Miss Ethel Brewer and Miss Castle Weaver, two of our most promising joung school teachers came up from Roseburg Krlda evening, after tho close of the Institute, to spend a few hours with home folks. Miss weaver is teaching near Elkton, and Miss Brewer, near Oakland, and both re port everything moving along smooth ly. J. T. Adklns gave his wife a sur prise party last Krlday evening. He so nicely arranged It all that Bho had not the slightest Idea of anything going to happen until about twenty of her neighbors and friends were ushered into the parlor. The even ing was very enjoyably spent In a social time. Refreshments More noru'd nnd all voted It a most enjoyable evening. . Tho farmers of North Myrtle have a project by which they expect to divert the waters of the creek from the channel into a dllc.h for Irriga tion purposes. The ditch will be con structed from a point above W. h. Burks placo down to tho Jones school house and will carry enough wnter. to Irrigate all the land on Ub course. This Is the best move made around here In recent years as it will not only mean wealth to the men interested, but It will demonstrate the groat pos blblllties open to farmers along our waterways.- Mall. IIOIIKK NOTKS. Save tho very best hny for the horses. They are dainty feeders and are often sorlously Injured by being forced to eat musty and rusly liny. As the long as the mare's owner asks only bIzo and weight nnd fat In the stallion he ues, just bo long will he get that and that only. Don't make the mistake of starv ing "toughness" Into the colt this winter. A spring colt will need lots of exercise but It demands good shel ter and care. A fast walking teum Is consider ably more valuuble on the fai-m than one with a slow, loggy gait. Action and vigor In tho Blre should be sought If It Is to be reasonably ex pected In tho offspring. Many good coltB are doomed to the misfit classes because they weie underfed wh.-n they were young. $75 to $100 difference In price at the market Is lost through the false econ omy of saving a few bushels of grain. The young colts should be shel tered from the cold fall rains and early winter sleet storms. They need this pronrtion more than they will In the clear cold of mld-wlnter. Many ailments which horses are affllcK-d with are Inherited from the parents. Avoid using a stallion that shows any hereditary unsoundness. if a farmer gets top prices for the colts he puts upon the market he must rati- ti them Just as ho would a hog. The market demands this and the farmer should cater to It. Dealers make good profits In buying horses In thin or ordinary condition and fattening them. De wise Rend The NVti. II. E.
