He nay 4 there are about three citizens residing In the North llmpqua valley, In tho terri tory proposed to be taken by Ne smlth county. And then ho asks how many mlnrrs residing In that part of the Hohcmln camp were forced to come out to Cottago Grove and travel f5 miles to Roseburg to transact bus iness and then adds that misrepre sentation, duplicity and exaggeration don't go. Wo agree with vou. Brother Con nor, that exaggerations must not go and you have missed tho mark fur ther than you used to when you were with us. I have no doubt that It Is because of your associations, ns we have always maintained a very high regard for the editor of the Cottace (trove meaner. Now let us see about this mattor. Of course the number or inhabitants residing In tho pro posed territory of Douglas, is much larger than "three." It takes In about 1-10 of the assessable property of Douglas county, and n. the same time tho lines of the proposed coun ty are so drawn that they get hut a few miles of our county roads to keep up nnd no bridges. Tho pro posed territory Includes many thou sands of acres of our agricultural and timber lands, and mines, owned nnd tinder taxation, and tributary to itoseourg. now tnen about the pro position of getting from tho Bohe mia mines to Hosoburg ns their county seat. Wo know and so does ottago Grovo know, that the great er part of the Bohemia mines Ho to the south of the summit of Bohemia mountain and on Umpnua waters east of Roseburg, which forms the dividing lino between Lane and Douglas counties, and that some of the mines He even to the south of the head waters of tho North Umpnua. nnd that, there is a nntural water grade from these mines to liosoburg, a distance about equal to that from tho mlii's. up over tho snow clad summit, of tho Bohemia mountains, and down on tho other side, and thence on to Coltngo Grove. It Is much easier for the people to come to Hosoburg from the Bohemia mines on the Dnipqun water shed, than it Is to Cottago Grove. The new railroad which Is under wpy will pnss through the disputed territory on the North Vinnoua Into the Bohemia country and thence on through eastern Oregon. It would be a rank Injustice to owners of property which lies pouth of the sum mit of tho Calapooia mountains to leavo this railroad. In front of their doors, nnd climb tip over tho grent summit of the nohemla mountains and the divide of tho Calauoola mountains, and down on the other side a distance of many miles, which must he traversed on foot, to reach the promised land. Cottage Grove". And If Pdded to tho new county they will have to tnko the railroad at their own door and come to Hose burg, the county seal of Douglas, and then transfer to the S. P. system and go north a distance of 55 miles to Cottage Grove. Counties in this state, particularly ihoso in which mountain ranges are situate, must be laid off more or less with the natural water shed1, be cnuse railroads do not cross divides excep' whei e necessary. Tho new county of Nesmlih. whleh takes the south slope of the Callpooln water Horseshoeing at tho Km pl.re Blacksmith shop Is now from $1.50 to $2.00. For cash only. dswfl8 S. T. SMITH. Mr. Woodward and wife of Riddle are In the city looking for a house to rent. shed. Including a large portion of the North Umpqua river, east of Hoseburg, and Its large tributaries. Steam Boat, Rock Creek, Elk Creek, Callpooia Crek and others, would necessarily put the owners of that territory to great trouble and incon venience In reaching their county seat, as above stated. It Is wrong. And because of these same wrongs, these snme people, the; Cottage Grovo enthusiasts, and office seek ers, have been thrice defeated In the Orgon legislature in their attempts to so divide Lane and Douglas coun ties. Douglas county will never he divided on those liens, because of the Injustice of the absurd proposition. Cottage Grovo assumes that no rail roads will ever be built In Douglas county, but they are again mistaken, and the rich fertllo valleys skirting the North Umpqua and Its tributar ies, which are proposed to be taken by Nesmith. will obtain railroad fa cilities and- thus put them In immed iate communication with Hoseburg, their county seat. The nntural wa ter shed of the North Umpqua east of the present line of the S. P. rail road, must mark the boundaries of Douglas county, Editor Connor, nnd your boosting friends, whose spirit I admire, but whoso judgment I de plore, should. In tho modern phrase, 1 take a tumble to themselves and let ! thrice defeated suffice, because vou will meet again the same defeat, and you know the reason, you are WRONG. If you would submit a sensible proposition and a just, pro position it would be different, but as It Is, and much to our regret, we must now, as In tho past three oc casions we have opposed you In this wrongful purpose.
