Roseburg, Ore., May 20, "16
To the Citizens of Roseburg:
Wouldn't It give you a feeling of
genuine pride to take a visitor down
to the railroad yard and show him a
train of freight cars all loaded with
lumber cut at Roseburg going out
into the markets of the world? What
a delightful thing It would be to call
the attention of strangers to "the
big saw mill" just east of town and
then to tell them of the immense
forests of pine, fir and cedar tribu
tary to Roseburg. That would mean
something it would mean payrolls,
prosperity and assured progress. The
stranger or visitor would surely say
"Here Is a live town." "This town
has a great future."
To progress is a legitimate desire.
Growth is a normal, function for a
community as well as for an Individ
ual. Anything that will contribute
to community growth is worthy of
sunnnrt.
Without doubt the slow Industrial
progress of this region can be attriD
,.tri tn other than unfavorable na
tural conditions. Raw material and

power are here in abund
nce; but the mind of man and the
power of wealth have not been ap
plied to their development along in
dustriall ines. Now comes an op-
ortunlty for this city to take a big
forward stride in the march of pro
gress. Roseburg's community problem re-
.H'J itself into this: The "balance
of trade" is against us. We are buy
ing more than we are soiling and this
i.ot go on indefinitely. We have
two possible courses to follow: Wo
must either increase our output of
marketable products and thereby
have a greater income from outside
sources or we must practice the most
rigid economies in all of our affairb
so that the present aggregate will
meet the present outgo. The first
alternative means progress, activity,
prosperity, debts paid off, homes ac
quired and beautified and a healthy
local condition. The other means re
action, stagnation, poverty, burden
some debts, abandoned and neglected
homes and general depression.
Roseburg's present splendid devel
opment has been accomplished not
only because of faith In her future
growth and importance as an indus
trial and commercial center. Our
present business establishments and
our present standard of social life and
living conditions cannot long be
maintained under present conditions.
There must be business failures
shrinking property values and gen
eral depression as long as we con
tinue to spend more than our in
come. In this connection it must be
remembered that a large part of local
prosperity for many years past has
been due not to earnings on the part
of the people, but, rather, because
of earnings acquired eliAJwhoro being
spent here by investors. The tide of
invostors having practically ceased
we -are now really forced Into the
real development of our actual re
sources. The building of the railroad from
Roseburg to Rock creek Is of such
vital importance that the cost seems
Bmall In comparison with the bene
fits. It means an adequate and per
manent connection between this city
and the forested areas of the whole
North Umpqua region. There is
enough timber on Rock creek alone
to justify the building of this line.
The moment Rosebiirg is absolutely
sure of this road the value of prop
erty in the city will increase more
than the amount of the city's invest
ment In the road. We must make
sure of the future porsperity of Rose
burg by connecting the city by rail
road with the source of wealth and
we ought to do it now while all of
the conditions are favorable.
Official statistics of the state of
Oregon show that GO per cent of the
pay roll in the state Is from the lum
bering Industry. Does that look like
the lumber business is such a dismal
failure s some would have you be
lieve? With the establishment of the lum
borlng Industry Roseburg can share
In tho prosperity that accompanies
extensive pay rolls.
It Is not only possible, but it Is
quite certain that sovoral mills will
bo located at or near Roseburg when
transportation for logs and lumbor Is
provided.
There Is no sound reason to doubt
the lmmediato construction of the
Kendall mill so that operation can
commence' as soon as logs can bo
brought down from the mouth of
Rock creek. The Kendall Lumber
Corporation of Oregon Js owned al
most entirely by J. L. & S. A. Ken
dall. They havo probably enlisted
the active co-operation of some strong
financial men in the development
work contemplated for this locality
and this Is a good thing for Roseburg
because the greater tho number of
hflucntlnl people who becomo In
terested here the greater will be our
growth. Reports from responsible
sources prove that the Kendalls aro
business men of the highest standing
where they have been doing business
for over 2! years. Men who have
cone honorably through life and who
have made their fortunes by doing en
immense volume of productive busi
ness are not likely to break faith with
the people of Roseburg. They know
! we expect them to btiild the mill If
we do our part, and they have said
tlmo and again that they would do it.
I bellove.thcm.
In tho proposition that Is before
us Roseburg Is to build, equip and
own the entire railroad, Including
I roadbed, ties, rails, depots, sidings,
right-of-way, fencing of same, torm-
Inals and rolling stock. Roseburg
uill own the entire railroad com-
plete In every detail. When actually
: put Into operation this railroad will
hove a sale value practically equal
- to the cost of construction and as
oon as tw"o or three mills are estab
lished Ihe traffic will he great enough
' to make It a paying investment and
