ated that while the paving on South 1

nuing further Mr. I'r'Msnn epress-
51 the opinion that it v. ould he much
leaper for the city of lioseburir to

In a communication received re

stated that three-fourths of the draft

Krom every locality, club and mix
Hairy of the men recently drafted
comes a boost for Hose burg and In
the aorcsald letter Is written what
is seemed to be u universal opinion
of this city. A number of men were
preparing to leave for Americnn
Lake from one of the largest districts
of San Francisco and just before
leaving for the train u gentleman
stepped up to tho captain of tho
group and said : "When you get to
Koseburg, ho sure and notice what a
tip-top town It Is and also save up
your strength till you get there for
ou will get a feed that is just like
homo and mother. It is the finest
place In Oregon. Its people the most
cordial and hospitable und us for the
Cmpnua hotel and other eating
places, they can't be beat. The Ump
Qiia Ik the swellest hotel along the
line and you will all be Immensely
surprise to llml such up-to-date ser
vice in so small a town.'
It was found later that the ex
pounder of the above boost recently
passed through this city with a con
tingent of men and participating
in a game uf football at the lake was
badly in.l n red and ret u rued to Sun
Francisco until permanent recovery
: resulted from careful medical atten
tion.
Kvery boost of the nbovo nature is
helping a great deal and it is quite
sure that from all indications Hose
hurg Is handed a goodly share of
laurels. However, there Is no doubt
but that tlie town and its people are
ilemo-vinir nf all lliev urn receivinir.
I At any rale It Is a satisfaction to
j hear of tho many "bouquets" he--
stowed Ibis way and It leaves a warm
1 feeling of pride around every heart.
