ELECTION PLANS
Australian Ballot System to
be Adopted
TO CHANGE THE BOUNDARIES
City Attorney I Authorized to Iiv
iaru Aa Ordinuitre CiovtTitltig
Siwer Connections In Tho
City Of IttiKetmrg.
With a view of arriving at some
definite conclusion relative to adopt
ing a permanent election system In
Rosehurg, Mayor Fred Haynes call
ed a special session of the city coun
cil yesterday afternoon. Other than
the councllmen and city recorder no
other person was In attendance at
the meeting.
The matter of adopting plans
whereby the-task of holding elec
tions In Roseburg may be simpli
fied was discussed at some length,
and it was finally agreed that the
elections should be held as usual
with the exception that the Austral
ian ballot system will be used. In
time past the ballots have been print
ed at the last minute, and in some
instances, the candidates were com
vpelled to arrange for their own
tickets. Under the new system
prospective candidates for city of
fiec will be obliged to announce
their candidacy in due time that
their names may be printed on the
regular ballot.
In connection with adopting the
new 'system, the county court will
he asked to change the precinct lines
so as to conform to tho corporate
boundaries. At the present time the
precinct boundaries extend far into
the country, and conseequently It Is
impossible to hold a primary election
in the city, or to secure an accurate
registration of the qualified voters
of the city.
Other than adopting an election
system, the city attorney was autho-
I rized to prepare an ordinance gov
erning sewer connections in the city
of Roseburg. At present the con
nections are said to be Irregular, and
it is the desire of the council that
they shall be uniform, and be made
In such a manner as to comply with
the desires of the plumbing inspec
tor. The city recorder was authorized
to return the certifified check of W.
P. Boardman & Company, in the
sum of $5,000, as the company has
complied with its agreement with the
city in the Installation of a gas
plant In Roseburg.
Upon the suggestion of Mayor
Fred Haynes, the electric light com
mittee was designated to handle all
matters connected with the gas company.

Concerning the announcement
made yesterday by General Manager
O'Brien, of Portland, that a railroad
would be constructed from Eugene
to Marshfleld, Tuesday's Telegram
has the following to say:
Little credence Is given to the
statements promulgated by General
Manager O'Brien in relation to what
the Southern Pacific expects to do
"Immediately" in the way of spend
ing $8,000,000 on a road from Eu
gene to Coos Bay by way of Florence
on the Pacific Coast. .
From several sources it was learn
ed today, that the Harrliuan people
have been frightened over the acti
vity of adverse Interests, In the first
place, the Southern Pacific story Is
set down as simply an attempt to
frighten investors from buying bonds
of the Asset Company, Limited, of
Kugene, which is said to have abun
dant capital behind It, and which
has for months been planning a road
from Eugene to the coast. Further
excitement has been thrown into the
llarriman camp because ithe local
Southern Pacific officials have learn
ed that a group of local financiers
headed by one of the biggest bank
ers in the city has arranged to tap
the Coos Bay country with a feeder
line from Eugene by way of a route
down the shore or the Pacific. This
company has all but completed an
arrangement whereby the necessary
bonds for the project will be floated
In London. The Harrlman' crowd got
wind of this and ruhed Into print
with glowing accounts of what It
was going to do.
The. local Interests referred to have
ilready surveyed a route all the way
from Eugene to Florence with op
tions on most of the balance of the
distance to Marshfleld and other
Coos Bay points. Tlwey have al
ready prepared all the preliminary
work, and their profiles for the road
arc finished and have been submit
ted to the agents who have charge of
raising' the necessary money needed
for building the road.
What makes the Harrlman state
ment look all the more questionable
is the fuct that the officials of the
Southern Pacific say that It will cost
(3,000,000 or (10,000.000 to build
the 125 miles of road from Eugene
to Coos Bay. The engineering esti
mates perapred by one of the best
location engineers in the Pacific
Northwest for the Portland coterie
of capitalists, show, that the entire
line can be built for not to exceed
$4,500,000 and possibly less.
"All the Harrlman people want,"
said a man who Is closely Identified
with the Portland Interests bark of
the prospective Kugene-Murshnneld
line, today. "Is to 8ol( the sale of
the bonds In the foreign markets.
It has been the common practice of
the Harrlman people for 20 years' to
play the dog-in-the-manger act
whenever anything like strong oppo
sition arose and to prevent the de
velopment of the state. Tho late
Mr. Harrlman himself for many years
stood In the way of giving Coos Hay
railroad transportation. Less than
ll,ree years uro Harrlman declared
! he would never enter Coos Hay by
way of Drain, or by any other route
unless the business men down there
I miaranteed him a i per cent return
on an Investment of r,,noo.Oftn the
renuted cost of the fond from Drain
to Marshfleld. for a rlod of 20
years. The only man in the entire
Harrlman system who liellcved (hat
Coos Bay should he developed was
lames P. O'Brien, the vice-president
and general manager, but he ran
attain?! a stone wall when he tried
to persuade the Harrlman hoard of
directors that one of the most pro
ductive countries In the entire North
wea was being neglected and that
sooner or later some other Interest!.
would Invade Coos Bay.
Refreshing as a springtime breeie
Is the further statement y the
Southern Pacific bunch that it would
ihandon the Drain-Coos Hay road
on which it has spent about $1,500.
OdO, and on which It has strewn
about 75 miles of well-worn steel
rails.
Everybody admits that there will
',e enormous freight tonage to be
m,,ve,t If such line Is built. Th,
are over 40.000.000.000 feet of
standing merchantable timber trib
utary to such a line. There are
great agricultural tones scattered
along the way. There ire rich coal
mines to b developed. The dalry-
