cedes the nomination of Chnrlea M.
Kiokert, "regular republican," "or
!f strict attorney, by democrats nnd
Union Lnborltos. ns well as repulli
ans. He was the only active candi
'ate for that office. The name of
Francis J. Heney was written on the
'tallots of members of the Independ
nt Democratic and Republican clubs.
Hid he lost the democratic nomina
fon by a scant margin. This is one
of (he important results of yester
'ay':j primary election In this city,
he first one to be held under the
irovibions of the new direct primary
aw. Slightly over 7-1.000 electors
egiatered. and. as near as can be
hown at the present hour, at least
two-thirds of these appeared at the
polls.
A ninjorlty of the registered vot
ers have signified their adherence to
the Republican party, with the Demo
crats second and the Fnion Labor
:arty third. Over 1.1. 000 voters re
fused to give their pany affiliation.
Frnnels J. Heney. according to his

Socialist V. McDevltt.
Crocker, the apparently successful
republican candidate, was placed on
the ticket by the business men's com
mittee of 21. He had four oppon
ents, but only two of them were ac

of the independent element of repub
licans, but the "regulars" generally
voted for Crocker. P. H. Country

tion without endorsement from any
faction.
Dr. I.eland, who will probably
head the democratic ticket, had the
regular organization of his party
back of him. He was opposed by

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.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 1 8. 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
