The Coqullte City Herald offers
tho following suggestions for Its city
and which, by the way, would be
good thing for Hosoburg: "The idea
has occurred to some of our most
progressive citizens that with the
corning of spring would be an Ideal
time to start a movement for the
betterment of the appearance of our
rlty, and suggest among other things
the fixing up In a m o re u n I for in
' Btylo tho awnings on tho front of
many of our buHlnens houses In
other towns their entire removal is
being demanded by the city councils,
but owing to excess! vo rains here,
this would not he advisable, however,
a much neater appearance could be
given to many, The largo swing
ing signs across the sidewalks are be
ing ordered down In the valley towns
and signs written nentlv on the glass
fronts, making It possible for n tail
man to walk orert without endanger
ing his derby. These are offered as
HUggCHtlonH for our people to think
nver and net upon ns improvements!
Riiggest themselves. Acting ntion
these suggestions might save Minn j
nnd trouble ns tho council may In
tho near future see fit to enact an
ordinance In accordance with these
Ideas."
We're mnklng laws with tots of
noise, to keen from harm our pro
clous boys. The curfew hell booms
out nt. eight, and warna tho lads to
Villi their freight for home and hod
ii nd balmy sleep, while wary cops
their vigils keen. Tho cheap toy pis
tol's down nnd out; we won't have
things like ttiat about ; and hoys
who'd hear the pistol's toot must sit
nnd watch their parents shoot. The
rlgnrette at last Is canned; the chil
dren of this happy laud can buy such
coffin units no more, whtcb some
times makes tho darlings sore. Knch
year new laws and statutes hrln-js,
to Hhtclrt them from corrupting
things. It's strango that we should
overlook the scream In g blood-and-thumlor
book, tho wild and woolly,
red-hot yarn, that .Johnnie rends be
hind tho barn The tales of bandit
who have slain a cord of men. and
robbed a, train; of thieves who break
iiwnv from jail, with punk detectives
on their trail; of long haired scouts
nnd men of wrath who nothing fer
except a bath. Such yarns ns these
our .lohnnlo reads; they brace hint up
for bloody deds; and when he ran he
takes the trail, and ends his bright
enreei In Jail. So, while we're swat
ting evil things, and nutting little
boys ou wings, 'let's swat tho hook

'Editor News; .Klltor Connor, of
tho Cottage Grove Lender, la "off"
his bearing. 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

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.
