(it r To the Editor: In vour issue of July llUh, there appeared a statement from "Owners of Glengarry tract of land a few miles South of the city," in regard to a right of way for a railway spur through "their tract, parts of which I must take exceptions to. The people of your town are nware that an expensive lime kiln is lying on the ground at Green Station, that, cannot and will not be put in opera tion until the above named "Owners" are-willing to -trout us with fairness. In reply to your Editorial Note of July 15th, I wish to state that the fact of tho matter Is that had tho "Glengarry Owners" been willing to negotiate with us on a reasonable basis, the lime kiln abave referred to would have been In course of con struction on our projverty, and Rose burg lime would have been selling in. Western nnd Southern Oregon within a very short time. As mat ters now stand, onr kiln must re main where It Is. nnd Roseburg be the loser. The "Owners of Glengarry tract" say we made "arbitrary demands for a right of way. dingonallv across the very best portions of this tract, re gardless of present roads, streams, or nbittlngs." A man or plat of the filengarrv tract will show that the owners have surveyed, and allowed for a wagon road to run diagonally across their tract. At -the time the mntter of right oT way was discussed by the owners of the tract and repre sentatives of our Company. ,we offer ed to build our line parallel to and adjoining the wagon road nearly the whole distance through the tract, so that It would not cut the different tracts in two any more than their wagon road would, but on the other band, would enhance Instead of de preciate the value of their property. We offered to make several desirable concessions to them In regard to op erations of trains over this spur, but these offers had no effect upon the "Owners." We found by survey that n right of way suitable 'for our purposes would require about 14 acres of land, for which tho "Owners" aked us the modest sum of $10,000.00. or they offered o sell the entire tract lef 7.10 acres for $40,000.00. Now. If j this Is what the "Owners" call a "reasonable basis," it will be many days before lime is made at Rose- j burg. We are perfe:tlv willing to have 'this matter arbitrated by a committee of Roseburg citizens. We had hoped to have Roseburg lime on the market by the first of July, and would have done so but for 1 the unfair demands made by some of the owners of the tract. We have ' other valuable lime deposits, and It would be a simple matter to reload our machinery and ship it to other parts, and unless a more fair propo sition is made us than we have had to date, we w)ll be compelled to do so. Our Mr. Moore wrote to the Cobb Real Estate Co. several weeks ago. and asked them to make us a figure en the right of way necessary for our purposes, but to date his reiuettt has been entirely ignored. 1 hope you will publish this !n fairness to us, so that the public may know why Rosehurg lime is not be ing sold throughout the state. Yours very trulv, ALEX. NIHLEY. It Is a matter of general regret that this right-of-way question has not a 1 read y been settled a n d t h e lime kiln, mentioned by Mr. Nlbley in the above letter, put Into opera tion. It would doubtless mean the development of another large In dustry In our county. However, each side has a right to their own opinions In this case. The owners of tho Glengarry tract declare the building of this railroad spur through their land upon the route surveyed would practically ruin It for selling pur poses, nnd maintain that for n great er portion of tho distance the Mm does not follow the wagon road which they laid oivt, but runs through the best of their land. That they offered to sell to the Cement Co. alt the tracts thus Intersected nt an ag gregate of several thousand dollars less than tho total of such tracts are listed for and which they believe them to be reasonably worth. What proposition the Cement Co. has made or Is willing to make In regard to arbitration of tho matter we do not know, but would be very glad to see 4he matter settled and Douglns county lime and cement put rn thn niftrUfit nt tho fnrllntt linusi ltln moment. We are advised that this Cement Co. has an abundance of cap- Hal for operating Its enterprises and lit Is really too bad 'that a controversy over a couple of miles of right-of-way should keep a big new Industry at a standstill.

Olll-lal announcement was made al the navy ' department today that suicide, either ' deliberate or accidental, Is the vmdX:t of the Hoard of Inquiry which Inves I tfgnted the death of Lieut. Sutton at ! Annapolis. Tho Hoard find that : "Lieut. Sutton was killed by a re volver shot tired by himself, either with suicidal Intent, without the in tervention or others, or accidentally." This decision repudiates, the charge made by Sutton's mother that her son was murdered. It varies little from the decision of the Hist board i of Inquiry which Investigated Lieut. Sutton's death the day after the trag edy at Annapolis in October. 1007. The verdict on that occasion was suicide, but It did not adniR that it tn;v have been accidental. The wholesale charges which It we.s predicted would lie lodged against Sutton's companion find no place In the court s findings. Most important among the court's findings Is naturally the finding that Lieutenant Sutton held the revolver which fired the fatal shot Into IiIh own head. Thfs was the contentl ni of the officers who were with him and the report made by the first board. Davis Theory Negatived. Again It negatives tho bold asser tion of Mrs. Sutton's ntmrney, Henry 10. Davis, that the wo'und could not have been self-Inflicted nnd the alle gation (hat Lieut. Sutton was shot in the back of th(! head while lleelug from his brother officers after tlicy hnd besiM him atid ben ten hint. Why Lieutenant Sutton pulled (he HiiitIiiuhi Carried to Ilertli.
