As tho result of a spring freshet in
Kilibuck creek, some sixty square
yards of brick paving are doing duty
near Woos'er, O., undisturbed by the
fuct that the roadbed beneath is
missing.
i This shelf of grouted brick, in one
place six feet in width, supports a
leaded automobile without the slight
est sign of yielding. Tho concrete

QUIET DAY IN THE CITY.
That part of. Itoseburg situated on
tho east side of the Umpu.ua river had
all the appearances of a deserted
village yesterday, for almost the en
tire population had gone cither to
West Roseburg, Middle, Melrose and
other points where celebrations wore
being held, or were plcnlclng nnd
fishing along the river banks. The
day started off rather cloudy in the
morning, with every appenrance of
being a drizzling rnln, but by ten o'-

is derived wholly from the Interal
cementing of the brick. Engineers
pronounce it a remarkable demon
stration of the beam strength to be
attained by properly grouted brick.
The freshet that caused the dam
age overflowed the road for mnny
hours. When the water receded, the
embankment had been washed away
for several hundred feet. For a dis
tance of sixty feet Jie road was un
i
dermined and the concrete base miss-
ing. Not a brick, however, had been
I disturbed. Traffic was cautious, at
clock It cleared off and continued a
most perfect day, In fact a most
typical Fourth. With tho exception
of eating places, cigar stores and
drug stores, all business In the city
was cloKed, every Jitney was out and
but few aulos were to be seen until
late In the afternoon when tho
crowds began returning homo. Busi
ness and private houses were notice
able for the display of flngs or somo
other decoration showing the na
tional colors suggestive of a desire to
exhibit a patriotic feeling, oven

had no roadbed beneam it, ouc con
fidence was gained with each suc
ceeding trial and so far no warning
sign of any sort has been placed upuri
the road and it is in use exactly e.3
before the accident. Engineer Ka
dall Barrett, of Wayne county, faces
the unusual task of putting a roadbed
under a pavement, instead of a pave
ment upon a road.
Between 225 and 250 miles o j'ficiC
pavement is now under contracc or
proposed to be built in Ohio this year.

Mrs. G"o and daughter
Ilelpha, left tills morning for a visit
with friends at Ashland.
ir"
Hon. Blnger Hermann and wife re
turned this morning after a three
weeks' visit tp Washington, D. C,
New York City and other eastern
points. Mr. Hermann Is feeling very
well and is delighted with the trip.
His visit was made principally to ob
tain data for a book' on which ho is
engaged and he was very successful
in this regard. '
Throughout the east he says that
business conditions are very good,
factories are running full blast, pros
pects are good for a heavy crop ill
the agricultural districts and every
thing points to a prosperous year. In
the political outlook It Is the opin
ion of the greater part of those con
nected with the political life of the
nation tlrat the republicans will be
victorious at the polls this fall. Mr.
Hermann at Washington visited with
men not only high In the republican
party, but also met with the presi
dent, members of the cabinet and
many other men of the administra
tion. Shortly before his departure
he had a short visit with Gov. Hughes
republican nominee for president. In
this conference politics were only
slightly mentioned, the mooting be
ing purely a friendly ono.
Mr. Hermann was in New York
City at the. time of the Chicago con
vention, when Mr. Hughes was plac
ed in nomination. With, the an
nouncement that the progressives
and republicans had united, a feeling
of confidence swept over the leaders
of the parties nnd all are freely pro-
dieting that the administration will
chnge at, the next vote They are
not overlooking the fast that Wilson
is very popular in the east and will
poll a substantial vote, but at the
present tlnio It is believed that a re
publican victory Is assured.
In spite of the fact that he has
greatly enjoyed his visit In the enst,
both Mr. and Mrs. Herman Bay that
they are glad to be back In Roseburg
and Doiiglas county. They visited in
several places on their way out,
stopping at Chicago for several days.
Their return was made by way of the
Northern Pacific railroad.

REM MONDAY
City Engineer Hicks announced
today that ho would have the plans
and speclfirations for the Koscburg
& Eastern Railroad ready for
adoption at the next regular coun
cil meeting unless prevented y sonic
unforseen complication which might
divert Ills ntlentlon for a short time.
Tho plans have now been drawn and
tracings made of tho greater part of
them, while the specifications and
finished and bound in proper form.
For the past few days Mr. Hicks
'and his assistants have been work
ing on the estimate for the construc
tion. Every foot of dirt to be re
moved, every foot of limber to be
used, the number of spikes, nail3,
etc., must be considered -even to the
most mlnuto detail, its cost taken
from standard prices und the total
added in order to find out juM what
tho railroad from Itoseburg to Ilock
creek will cost. Several days were
taken in ascertaining the amount of
cut and fill work whirh Is ono of the
great! st features In railroad build
ing. Many hundred foet of dirt ami
rock must be removed while at oilier
points largo fills must be made In
order to give the road an even grade.
Under the plans as they have been
; drawn. Mr. Hicks states that he be-
lleves the city will he the possessor
: of a good railroad. His specifications
i call for a roud not up to tho requir
! luonts of the average branch line.
! bvt much better than a logging rood
! I'.nd one which will easily rare for

: puss over it for mnny years to come.
: The council is desirous of seeing con
; Htructlon under wny as quickly as
: iionsible and will waste no time In
their procedure. It is thought lb:U
the plans and specifications will be
; adopted Monday night and that bids

the various railroad terminals loaded
wild confusion, a kissing, a hugging
Gnd-speed that brings tears to tha

ments for everyone, and a most en
joyable time was had. The main
patriotic address of the day was made
by J. L, Chaney, of Myrtle Creek,
and he made a splendid appeal to
the people for the true bluo Ameri
canism. While Mr. Chaney is. the
democratic candidate for represen
tative from this county, no politics
were indulged in, and his address
was received with much favor.
