COMMERCIAL CIVB ACTIVE.
Publicity-Miuingcr Sclilosser's Report
for January Is Yitul.
During the month of January,
191J, the Roseburg Commercial Club
mailed out 1,500 pieces of mail. This
n.nll n.nn linn, in . ) I t V-O V 11 ctlltMS
the Canal Zone, Ouateinaln, Shnng
hul and Canada. The largest num
ber of Inquiries received from one
state were from Oregon, with Wash
ington second, Montana, Idaho and
Colorado In third place, California
fourth and Illinois fifth. The num
ber of Inquiries from Eastern people
Is Increasing, and those who have
looked over tho Commercial Club
mall tho past two months comment
on the fact that so large a proportion
of the writers say they expect to
come to Oregon this year to reside.
During the past month letters have
ka.n TtiaivrA from 97 families, stat
ing that they expect to come to Rose
burg this spring or summer.
The Inquiries show that 35 per
cent of the correspondents asked for
general information, 30 per cent are
Interested In general farming, 5 per
cent fruit, 5 per cent In homeBtoad
lauds, and the balance In the follow
ing lines In the order named: Poul
try, truck farming, timber, stock,
dairying, bees, hogs and goats. About
6 per cent of the inquiries ask for
work of any kind and 8 per cent-request
the Commercial Club to find
them positions of some kind for a
time. There were 15 Inquiries rela
tive to business openings, 15 In
quiries for copies of the local papers,
5 letters asked about the result of
the suit against the Southern Pacific
by the United States government.
Anions the trades offered are city
lots In Pcrtlnnd. timber land in
Western Oregon, and a ranch In Col
orado. One man says that he and
his friends are In the market for
Borne cheap land, provided they can
buy from 10,000 to 40.000 acres.
His Idea of cheap land Is ranging
from 2 lie to 50c per acre, and there
Is very little of this available In
Dougl.'s county. Another man wants
1.000 a res in one piece, and another
writes to know If he and his friends
can sec.-.rc 50 homesteads all In one
bo3.
J Aii.rriR the questions asked in are
ljinlo;tlnB: "Do apples blight?"
"sn you raise peaches In Douglas
in?" Ke was Informed that we
'raise both kinds. "Are there any
railroad la Douglas county?" "Is
Roseburg near a large city?" "Can
yon furnish me fall Information
about Camas Valley?" "Will you
send as Information about Coos
county?" One roan wishes to know
where he can bny a milk goat, and
another called at the office and ask
ed where be could get an old pair
of shoes. One wished to know If
there were any stage lines to Coos
Pay, and why there is no railroad.
Another wishes a fairly accurate
description of some tract In Curry
county that could "be homesteaded.
1 One man wauted to know if there
were rattle snakes or poison oak in
the couuty. Another writes that It
is 38 below zero at the time he was
writing the letter, and wishes to
know if It ever gets that cold In the
Umpqua Valley. Another asks when
construction will commence on the
railroad from Roseburg to the coast,
and we told them we hoped to see
the saine before the first of May. We
are still strongly hoping that this
hope will be fulfilled.
Among the trades, the largest
number of Inquiries were received
from carpenters. Among the profes
sions there seem to bo more lawyers
looking for locations than in other
lines.
The colonist rates will continue
through 48 days this year, a 10-duy
period longer than usual, and judg
ing from tne correspondence, there
will be an unusually large number
of people visit Oregon with a view
to making It their permanent abid
ing place. There Is reason to believe
that Roseburg will receive a fair
share of these newcomers. However,
parctlcally every town and city that
has a Commercial Club connected
with the Oregon Development Lea
gue has announced that the pub
licity work for that particular com
munity will be carried on with in
creased vigor this year, therefore, It
Is advisable that Roseburg continue
its efforts along publicity lines If
we expect to share In the increased
wealth and population which Is to
he distributed through the state be
ginning the first of Murch.
In today's columns of The News
will be found the announcement of
Commissioner M. R. Ryan for re
election to the important office he
has so faithfully filled for the past
term and with entire satisfaction to
his large number of supporters in
every nook and corner of the county.
It is conceded by all that Mr. Ryan
will not have any opposition either
at the primary or regular election,
this fact being attributed to his
painstaking efforts in the past to
at nil times keep apace with the prog
ress and development of this great
county and being ever alert to the
vital interests of the people at large.
His nomination and election Is as
sured. T

WASHINGTON, Fill). -7. Forest
service men who are blinded or oth

of men killed in fighting forest fires
can exjiect no comiiensation from the
government. To remedy this condi
tion Senator Dlxoh (rep. Mont.) Is

MEXICAN TROOP
BRIDGE MEETING
Is Held At Courthouse This
Morning
OAK STREET BRIDGE OPPOSED
Petitions and Itemonst ranees Arc
Filed, As Are Miipa and Oilier
lnt County Court Ma
tens to Appeals,
Denouncing the motives through
which he claimed the "selfish Inter
ests" clamored for the Oak street
brldgo, Attorney Elbert Hermann,
representing the taxpayers opposed
to abandoning the present Lane
street structure, this morning deliv
ered a most able and convincing ad
dress before tne couuty court and a
thorng that fairly filled the court
room.
Attorney Hermann referred to the
proposition as ridiculous, and claim
ed th present agitation relntlvo to
the abandonment of the Lane Btreet
bridge would uever have beon start
ed had It not have been for persons
desirous ot serving selfish Interests.
"Tho persutiB desiring the Onk street
bridge have presented a number of
petitions," said Mr. Hermann, "and
In opposition, those opposed to aban
doning the Lane street structure
have filed remonstrances. The lat
ter are specific, and simply set out
that In abandoning the Lano street
bridge the monleB of the taxpayers
will be waster, to say nothing of the
detrimental effect upon tho business
Interests of the town."
Mr. Hermann claimed there wus
hut one conclusion to glean from
the petitions submitted in fuvor of
the Ouk street bridge that tho self
ish interests were at work, and were
determined to enhance the value of
their property to the detriment of
the entire city.
'The signatures submitted today
amount to naught," continued Mr.
Hermann, "unless you are ButlsBod
that the signatures represent the
masses, and that the taxpayers of
the county fuvor abandonment of the
present bridge, and the erection of a
new structure at Ouk street. You
must consider these petitions at
length, and you should also take Into
consideration the remonstrances
which havo beon presented to your
consideration. This Is not a trlvul
matter, hut on tho contrary, Is a
proposition of Intenso Intoroat to the
taxpayers of this section ot tho coun
ty." .In reply to Attorney Coshow's re
larka, which In point, were to the
effect that the present brldgo was a
menace to life on account of the
railroad crossing, Attomoy Hermann
Bnld this ovll could ho remedied with
ease, considering that laws were now
upon the statute hooks providing (or
the protection of all crossings. In
this regard, he said it would be well
for Mr. CobIiow to take this matter
up with tho Southern Pacific officials,
who were at all times ready and will
ing to assist In protecting llfo and
limb.
n conclusion, Attorney Hermann
solicited the court to act In the best
Interests of the taxpayers, which was
equivalent to a denial of the peti
tions. F. E. Alley suld he was astonished
at the remarks of certain persons
advocating the Oak street bridge,
who claimed that one bridge would
suffice the demands of this city for
twenty or thirty years. "Is Rose
burg going to remain a town ot 6,
000 people for twenty years?" In
quired Mr. Alley, "or will It grow to
a city of 15,000 or 20,000 people.
I am of tho opinion that two bridges
should be maintained, ono at the
present site on Lane Btreet anil an
other on Douglas Btreet. It would be
waste of county money to abandon
the Lane street bridge, and I ven
ture to say that such procedure
would le strenuously opposed by the
taxpayers. Let us have a new bridge
at Lane street, and within two or
three years, the city will be able to
erect a second bridge at the foot
of DouglaB street. With these o
tirldges the city will bo served to the
satisfaction of all concerned.
A. C. Marsters coincided with K.
E. Alley and advocated preservation
of the present bridge at the foot of
Iane street, and the erection of a
.econd bridge at the foot of Doug
las street. Mr. Marsters said the
business Interests of the city were
growing rapidly, and that any at
tempt to abandon tho Lane street
bridge In the erection of the propos
ed Oak street structure would meet
with strenuous opposition. Mr. Mars
ters contended that the prrsent
bridge should he maintained, and
that within the courm--of a few years
another bridge should be erected at
Douglas street, thus equalling the
distance of all concerned.
Dr. 10. V. Hoover said he was op
posed to maintaining the bridge at
Ita present Bite at the foot of Lane
street, and was of the opinion that
the new structure Bhould span the
Umpqua river at the foot of Doug
laa streets. Dr. Hoover Bald he spoke
as a disinterested party, and was not
swayed in his poaltion by any so-
called Interests. "I have no person
al interests to serve In this matter,"
said Dr. HocrVer, "and simply advo
cuto the Douglas street bridge with
a view of better serving the people."
Fersons sueuklng In fuvor of the
Oak street bridge were Attorney O.
P. Coshow, James Goodman, L. A.
Ireland, It. E. Smith, M. L. Webb, Dr.
A. C. Seely, Walter Hamilton and
Ileuben Marsters.
These gentlemen advanced the ar
gument that the Lane Btreet cross
ing was dangerous, and that the
Oak street approach was In direct
line with the city. It was also Bald
that the cost of erecting a bridge at
Lane and Onk streets was about
the same, while tho expense Incur
red in the erection of a brldgo at
Douglas street would be considerable
more.
Other than an oral argument, the
Oak street advocates submitted peti
tions bearing elgnuturoB ot 373 per
sons, 160 of whom reside on tho
West side of the river.
While a number of the arguments
were splrltod, there wore few reas-
iiiia advanced why the bridge Bhould
be located at Onk Btreet, and con
sequently It does not aoem probable
that tho county court will take any
limnedlato action.
Probnhly the most logical address
of thoBO supporting the Oak street
bridge was delivered by M. L. Webb,
of West Roseburg, who claimed that
tho taxpayers of the road district
limiting the brldgo to tho wost fuv-
orod tho romovul of (the present
structure.
Tho courty court have In their pos
session both the petitions and remon
srances, and will probably consider
the sumo at some future dnto, ,
