Mr. O. W. Williams of Eugene, whom
he said he would like to give way to.
Mr. Williams responded with an
able address. "This proposed county
Is an arbitrary division of the two
counties, fostered by office-holders,
would-be office-holders, and town
site boomers of Cottage Grove." He
then wei.t on to explain why after
tnklng out the heart of Lane county
they drew their lines In a zig-zag
course, taking out the fine timber,
belt of northern noughts. "Why 11(1
you do that? 1 apke a Nosmith boos
ter. 'Why, said he, 'when the United
Staos soils the timber in the state
every county in tho stuta will receive
25 per cent of the net proceeds."'
At this time It was announced that
the coinmUt.ee on resolutions were
ready to report nnd Chairman O. P,
Coshow instructed the secretary to
rend the findings of the committee
to the assembly, which wero ast fol
lows: , '
"Resolved, That wo nre unalter
ably opposed to the creation of tho
county of Nemnlth, and among the
many reason for said action offer at
this time the following:
'First That the lines on the north
of the proposed new county reach
within 4 1-2 miles of the City of
Eugene, leuvirg the remaining por
tion of Lane county but 17 miles
wide, north and south in the Will
amette, valley, while the proposed
county will bo 2fi miles north nnd
south In the valley, thus leaving
Lnno county 40 miles wide at each
end nnd 1 50 miles long It n!so
leaves a large portion of Douglas
county west of the proposed county,
the inhabitants of which would be
compelled to travel the territory of
the proposed county in order to
reach the county Beat of Douglas
county at Roseburg
Second The lines are so formed
r.s to take In a large territory of
Douglas county lying east of Rose
burg and that, nil the luhnbltnnts of
thnt' ten itory In order to reach the
new county sent would have to go to
Roseburg or Oakland and from
thence by rati to reach the new
county sent.
"Third The bill for the new
county appoints two commissioners
from tho new county to not with xne
from Lane county to apportion the
county property between the two
cointfes nnd a like nnangement has
been made in the bill for tho division
of the property of Douglas county.
Fourth Tin t the lines of the ter
ritory embraced in tho bill havi been
so arranged as to give the new coun
ty a maximum of asserable property
with a minimum of expense In main
taining county roads.
"Filth That the lines are fo ar
ranged as to take In the largest
quantity of standing timber that
could possibly be reached following
the rldnes between the rivers so ns to
leave the old counties with a maxi
mum of county roads to maintain.
"Sixth Thnt a large number of
the people In the northern part of
the new territory object to being
tnken into tho new county.
"Many other reasons exist against
he formation of the new county, but
the time given your committee In too
short to formulate them within the
given time. Respectfully submitted,
. . "COMMITTEE."
The nlove resolutions wqre unan
imously ndopted. ,
Another resolution rending ns follows-
was then introduced by the com
mittee: "Resolved, Thnt a committee from
each county bo appointed, consisting
of fifteen members, ns a campaign
committee, to take charge of the campaign-
against the formation of the
new county."
