That Hoscburg is soon to enjoy
the- bonellts attendant to modern de

nouncement made public by General
Manager J. P. O'llrien, of tho South

agent L. D. ' Moore today, and was
immediately turned over to Publi
city Manager Sirhlosser, of the Hose

telegram signed by a number of
prominent Uoseburg people and sent
to Mr. O'Brien this afternoon.
The task of persuading the South

depot was 11 rat,, taken up by the
Roseburg Commercial Club about two
years ago, find at the time the un
dertaking appeared almost hopeless.
The officials of the company were
.solicited time and again, and as of
ten they promised to tako the mat

ance with the business methods in
vogue among the railroads, the usual
"amount of "red tape" was necessary,
however, and finally news came that
the matter of a new depot had been
referred to the "higher Hps" for final

FKKK rOK ALL FIGHT.
YONTALLA, Or., Spt. 12.
(Special to The News.) A free
for all battle occurred !u this
4 city this morning when the
mother of Ivan Kllmaker, the
youth who has been causing con-
siderable troublo In this vtctn-
ity for sometime, attempted to
thwart the boy from the of-
ficers and detain the lad from
being taken to thei reform
school. When train No. IS
from Roseburg, arrived here
Mrs. Arnold, the boy's mother,
and her husband were at tho
depot, presumably for the pur-
pose of bidding their son fare-
well. When Officer Wooster
alighted from the train Mrs. Ar-
nold attempted to iersuade him
to give her the papers com-
mttting the boy to tho reform
school, asserting she would es-
enrt him safely to his desti-
nation. This, request was
promptly refused by the officer
whereupon the woman set up-
on him, assisted by her has-
band, and for a while a free
for all fight was m progress.
Pefore the "finish" it was neces-
sary for an officer to givti the
boy's step-father a blow on the
head from a "billy ' and the
v mother was quite roughly used
for the part she took in the nf-
fray. Finally, just a moment
before the train pulled out from
the depot, the officer "got
clear" of hisO persurers and
boarded tho train, taking the
wayward youth with him. Mr.
and Mrs. Arnold were inline-
diately arrested and placed uu-
der $1,000 bonds to keep the
peace.
Young Kllmaker has caused
more or less troublo for the
past year and his confiniuent at
the state institution will prob-
ably have a beneficial effect.
He was brought north on this
morning's train, after having
been, committed by County
Judge Wonacott to the state
training school.

tunity to pass whereby they might
assist in bringing the proposition to
a realization i Upon one occasion a
committee composed of local business
men was appointed, and later went
to Portland where they conferred
with General M:in.ig-r O'Brien in
hope that he nti'it It id his personal
Influence in bringing the much de
sired depot to a focus.
About six weeks ago a report was
received in Host-burg to Iho effect
that the Roseburg depot appropria
tion had-b.eti eliminated from the
budget of expenditures for the year
1!U1. This repoit caused unrest, and
General Manager O'Brien was again
made the target of numerous interrogations.-
Mr. O'Brien communicat
ed with Manager Sehlos-er, of the
Roseburg Commercial Club, regard
ing the report, and upon being lully
advised of its contents informed the
publicity manager that it was false
and that no action had been taken
regarding tho appropriation.
In his letters to Mr. Sch kisser, the
railroad official said that the matter
of erecting a depot in Roseburg had
been removed from tha Chicago of-

Clarke's death might cause a

that would have practically no

t- chargo of the promotion, and
that the work will bo carried on

Ive years lived fn that city. Five
iveeks ago his business brought him;
to Portland, a ml he had been here
oniiniiously since then. When he
rirst was taken 111 he continued at
work. Pneumonia set in, which,
(implicated with heart troublo, caus
ed his death. At his bedside when
l he end came were a number of
iromf nent residents of Coos Bay,
nnong them Claude Nesbnrg, one of
!iis closets associates. His friends
declare that his death will not affect
i be status of his railroad project.
Mr. Clarke was well known in ruil
oad circles, having promoted several
important projects. Immediately be
fore coming to Oregon he spent sev

event that a recount shows the "drys"
to have been defeated, thy will Im
mediately petition for another elec
tion by removing the prohibitory
amendment from the constitution
which now makes It Impossible for
the legislature to vote tor a local

UUo returns today give the "wots"
n majority of 600, with eight small
