Those localities and vi cinity were given close observation and their people mingled with. A general and helpful interchange of ideas resulted. At Drain the party was welcomed and given the free dom of the town by Mayor D wight Reed, H-?onded by the city council and huge delegation of visitors. The party a tittle later proceeded to South Dralu and traversed the first mile of the Drain & Coos Hay rail road. They were especially im prosed with tho massive steel bridg s over Elk Creek and the immons? quantities of steel bridge ma; ?r: il piled up here for all the brMg.-'H needed on the first ten miles of th.s railroad. It may be incidentally re marked that the prevailing opinion here is that work upon the con;..u tiou of this railroad Is to be iv sunud In the near future. The re turn was made via the Skelley Lum ber Co's. flume, giving a fine view of the surrounding country. At six o'clock the entire party was entertained by the ladies of Drain with as Due a dinner as the most exacting could venture to suggest. Like the previous banquet at Yon calla, it was simply the acme of the culinary art, and included several courses. When the banqueters arosn, three rousing cheers voiced their ap preciation. The repast was prn Jid'fl by an Invocation by Rev. V. r It. V. lirowne, and some appropriate welcoming words by Mr. N. D. Cool. While the banquet was In progress those assembled in the lodge hall ad joining were entertained with Rome excellent recitations by little Misses Viola Applegate and Marie Durfee. aged resprrti vely 6 and ti years. Their efforts were most creditably rendered and were highly apprecia ted. Social converse followed and at 8 p. m. the visitors and a large hotly of the citizens of Drain and vicinity assembled in the audience room of the I. p. O. F. building where a gen eral get-together meeting was held. President V. C. Edwards, of the Drain Commercial Club opened the meeting with an appropriate wel come and requested fieo. Neuner, Jr., of the Uoseburg Commercial Club, to take charge of the programme. A song by a male quartette of Drain was so pleasingly rendered as to merit a hearty encore. Speechnmk ing and Hhort talks followed, the responses being .on these topics: Y. II. liichardson "Getting Hack to the Soil." C. D. TIeale "Sutherlin Valley." .1. D. archer "Ladies Auxil iary. ' C. V.

As outlined by him and several of the other speakers, Douglas county has almost unlimited resources and our great need Is peo ple and capitnl to convert these re sources Into products which will bring wealth and comfort to the pro ducers. All were urged to attend the big get-together meeting in Rose- ! burg on Feb. 1 6. Among the promi I nent speakers invited to be present j on that occasion are Dr. Smith, of Portland: Hon. E. L.

' y on j that occasion and a siec! service will be held by the min'sters at the new tahernle during - Lifternnen. The necessity for united action in ntlvc rtising Douglas county a I) road was delineated and some of the gen eral n'ans therefor were outlined. Mr. Richardson experts to make several visits to various parts of tho eountv during the next few months in the furtherance of this work. lie also expects to keep two or t4iree stenographers busv writing letters to prospective homeseekers and inves tors and answering their inquiries. The development of new industries 's also to be encouraged. Trie Last Laps. A splendid turkey dinner gladdened the inner departments of the Rose burgers at noon today at Sutherlin, the biggest and busiest town of its age in the United States. The din ner was served at the Sutherlin Inn laid was tendered to the excursionists by Col. J. F. Luse, of the Luse Land and Development Co.. and the live Commercial Club of that place. As a delightful "appetizer" before the spread, the visitors were given a ride in nntomobiles tT the beautiful Ken del Park, owned by Frank B. Waite and situated on an eminence com manding a sweeping view of the sur rounding country for miles. This jaunt was preceded by an inspection of the huge dredger opernting in Sutherlin Valley Creek and followed by a trip to A. E. Sbiria's planing mill. Upon their arrival at Sutherlin, the visitors were met by n committee nf the local Commercial Club consisting of Ira L. Hatfield, .John Wilson, H. H. Strong. K. W. Franz and A. E. Sbiria. After dinner, the party was entertained with music in the pur . lors of the Inn and each member was nil ven a souvenir especially prepared for the occasion. Then they were ' photographed at the Southern Pacific lepot, where Darby Richardson took occasion to express thanks on behalf of the excursionists to Colonel Luse and the Commercial Club for their generous hospitality. Colonel Luse made a brief response after the echoes of three cheers for himself what am! ROSEBURG, OREGON bad died away, and the visitors then boarded the afternoon train for Oak land.

Cathcart, a former em the railway king of the Northwest qloye in the ofHcp of ex-Surveyor- ud Ilarriman officials have buried tho hatchet so far as their fight over ' the use of the Deschutes river canyon in Oregon is 'concerned. President Loved and his associates of the Har- rim a n system have surveyed and nre to build, at a cost of $2 1,000,000, j 000 miles of branch lines In North ern and Northeastern California, Southern Oregon and Western Ne- vada to intrench their property I against the prospective aggressions j of the Hill combination and of Gould's new Western Pacific road.

Southern Pacific oflicials an nounced yesterday that they have signed an agreement with the Hill syndicate to build a track through t lie narrow gorge of the Deschutes river. Most costly work will be necessitated to build the road, which ,vi;i feed the branches of the respec tive companies from points on the Columbia river south into Central Oregon. The Hill branch is known as the Oregon Trunk Line, while that of the Harrimnn system is called the Deschutes Railroad Company. After coming out of the canyon tho two lines will have their own routes up the Deschutes river valley. May .Mean Cnlli'm-nia KMcnsimi, Sout hern Pacific officials do not pretend to know If Hill's intention is (o extend bis line into California. They have seen his dental of any inch purpose in the press, hut take it with a grain of salt.. They will not be surprised if eventually Hill extends his Iturlington system west 'rom Wyoming into Northern Cali fornia and then to this city nnd build ibe Oregon Trunk down to a connec tion with it at some point in Cali fornia. The Southern Pacific is losing no lime in endeavoring to intrench it self in Northern and Northeastern ''ulifornia, in Southern Oregon and Western Nevada against the time the Hill crowd or Gould's Western Pacific nay s ek to enter that territory. They have five definite and separate branch lines mapped out. One is the California Northeastern road, which was recently completed f rotn Weed, a station on the Mt.

The distance Is 1T.0 miles and t he road is to cost $ 0.- 'MMI.(MK). The presumption Is that the Des chutes Railroad Company's line will be built soutlwto a connection with the Natron road and that eventually a line will he run east from Natron through Central Oregon to a connec tion with the Oregon Short Line In K. stern On-gon at Huntington.

PORTLAND, Or., Feb. 5. Col. A. S. Worthingtou closed the defense in the Hermann trial this morning at 11: 15 o'clock, and a few minutes later court adjourned until next Monday, when Prosecutor Heney will 'begin putting in rebuttal testimony, ul.li.h u'fll tifnlinhltf nnlU Mnn. General Henry Meldrum nnd pre viously deputy sheriff of Douglas county. When put ou the stand, Cathcart told of the time Hermann visited Meld rum's office. He said Hermann nnd Meldrum wore in the room alone. F. P. Maya, he said, was not present. This meeting, wit ness said, was sometime during the rail of 1902. Cnthcart's testimony wns weakened by the fact that Hermann's visit re ferred to by Meldrum when the lat ter testilled was in 1901. Cross KYiiminuGon of Hermann Com pleted by Heney. After cross examination which had lacked only a few moments of com sinning three full days. Ringer Her mann was excused yesterday from tho witness stand in the United Stutes court. Mr. Heney's fire of questions failed to weaken Mr. Hermann on the im portant points of the Blue Mountain conspiracy charges, nnd In that re spect the defendant is considered to have emerged In fairly good condi tion. Mr. Heney, however, has prepared the ground for n closing argument a n d h as accu mu hit ed material to piece together for the benefit of the Jury. Mr. Heney will urge that many of the negative acts of Hermann nre conclusive of his knowledge of the nine Mountain conspiracy. Ho has presented evidence In the endeavor to show that as early as 1900 Mr. Hermann was Informed that frauds were being perpetrated In the appli cation of the timber nnd stono act and that he relied solely on his field agents to report frauds, instead of beginning operations himself to ex pose and stop the use of "carloads" of bogus entrymen. In his last hours on the stand two Incidents occurred which nre to be used by Heney In attacking the credibility of all" the testimony given by Hermann. Mr. Heney left the subject of the Rlue Mountain con spiracy and suddenly asked Mr. Her mann concerning a visit to the Cali fornia oil fields. Mr. Hermann stated that he went out of curiosity only. but later it was made to appear he was the guest of some of the Inves tors operating in iho district. Soon afterward Mr. Hermann first denied close relations with a California offi cer who was charged with being dishonest, and then admitted the authorship of several letters showing intimacy. Connection With Iomi nnd Allen Not Creditable. At the opening of the morning ses sion Mr. Heney continued his efforts to show that for a long time prior to the first investigation of land frauds under the timber nnd stone act which Mr. Hermann ordered In No vember, 1902, the Commissioner was aware that many of the special agents operating on the Pacific Coast were submitting dishonest accounts. The Government prosecutor read the cor respondence between Special Agent Loomis and Mr. Hermann concerning vouchers for sums of money larger than bad been paid out by Loom in The special agent pleaded to the Commissioner "to be protected against a secret investigation of my Portland Hardwood Floor Co Largest stock of Oak, Maple.

Yamhill Jt Pnrflflnrl I l Yamhill OU, 1 OfUanO accounts." In writing to Loomis. the Commissioner on November ti, 1902, expressed resentment that somebody had furnished the Oregonlnn with In formation attacking tho Integrity of j some of the members of the force of j special agents and the officers of local land offices. Mr. Heney then Inquired whether it was not true that Mr. Loomis was an appointee or Hermann s and that Special Agent Dixon, who submitted a record "whitewashing" tho ac counts of Loomis as to carelessness, had been placed in office at the re quest of the Commissioner. The prosecution forced Mr. Her mann to deny that he ever had heard of any Irregularities in the nccounts of Onnsby. Referring to California, the prosecutor nsked ns to the nc counts of Forest Superintendent Al len, but wus headed off by nn objec tion from Colonel Worthlngton. Mr. Heney said he proposed to show that Allen was charged with submitting "crooked" vouchers for expenses, that Hermnnn knew it and that af terward Allen admitted the charge to be true. Mr. Hermann was then asked if he was personally acquainted with Allen, and replied that his relations with Allen were purely official and that he did not know him well or in timately. He had called on Allen once In Los Angeles and Allen had been In Washington more than once. Mr. Heney then passed a letter up to the witness and asked if he had written It. After reading the letter Mr. Her mann leaned over the witness box and said that ho desired to qualltfy his previous inquiry by saying: "I had known Mr. Allen outside of business relations." "You first said yon had never had any intimate relations with Allen and did not know him outside of de partment channels," shouted Heney, "and now you ndmlt that you were intimate with Allen." An objection was made by the de fense to the rending of the letters concerning Allen's alleged fictitious accounts, as being not pertinent to the Ulue Mountain reserve conspir acy. Mr. Heney said he proposed to show that the report of the land fraud transactions, as submitted by Special Agent Holslnger, directly charged that Allen was receiving bribes, and that Hermnnn was a per son til nnd Intimate friend of Allen's. Under that contention the court al lowed Heney to rend four letters, written by Hermnnn, In which he thanked Allen for different presents of fruit, spoke of his daughter calling on him and of the fact that n son-in-law of AHen was being assisted by Hermann, referred to n furlough for the forest superintendent and sent his best wishes for the holiday season to the members of Allen's family. II was developed that an undo of the defendant, llorder. was employed under Allen as- supervisor. Heney took up a line of inquiry concerning a visit which Mr. Her mann made to the Fresno nnd Bak erstield oil fields In 1900. Mr. Her mann first said that he went down there out of curiosity, having a de sire to see some of tho great oil wells reported to have been discovered, Heney brought out the ndmlssfon that several oil Investors had met the Commisioner at Albuquerque with a private car nnd escorted htm ta llnk ersfleld. Mr. Hermann said that several contests were pending before his office at the time, Involving pos session of the lands which the "scrippers" were trying to take away the original claimants on the ground that the land was not min eral In character. The witness said that he was coming home over the Southern route anyway and saw no harm In riding with the oil land owners. f W'lKKI.KSS TKI.HtiltAPII WIXH MOW liAl'KKI4. NEW YORK, Feb. 4.

Al'TOMOIH!,E KIHKASU NA.HO-MOTOR RHINITIS. NEW YORK. Feb. 4. New York doctors blame smoking motor cars for a new disease, which they call ivaso-moior Klilultls. The disease, which is similar to the hay fever, is said to bo widely prevalent In New York. It affects the membrane of the nose and throat, causing an In flammation that la especially Irritat ing to consumptives, and ta llkelv to do great Injury to Invalids. The dis ease is also described as affecting the stomach In ninny Instances, while the smoke cause mental anguish and d'scolors the complexions of women victims. Twenty prominent nhyatclans have forwarded petitions to the board of health, the Aldermen and Mayor Oav- nor, asking that stops he taken to make the emission of smoke by au tomobiles Illegal In New York City. o J.

The concentrator will have a dully ca pacity or no tons, wltn reducing pro portions of from 8 to 10 Into 1. The ledge on the property is 300 feet wide, and carries gold, silver and copper. Work Is being carried on by means of tunnels. By concentrating the ore the expense of Its transpor tation to the smelter at Kennett. Calif., Is very materially reduced. About 160 tons were shipped to that point for testing and proved highly satisfactory. A Common Cold. We claim that If catching cold could be avoided some of the most dnngorous and fatal diseases would never be heard of. A cold often forms a culture bed for germa Of infectious dlsenses. Constipation, pneumonia, diphtheria and scarlet fever, four of the most dangerous and fatal diseases, nre of this clasB. The culture bed formed by the cold favors the development of the germs of these diseases, that would not otherwise find lodgment. There Is little danger, however, of any of these diseases bolng contracted when a good expectorant cough medicine like Chumberlniii's Cough Remedy It used. It cleans out these culture bods that fuvor the development of these diseases. That 1b why tills remedy has proved bo universally successful in preventing pneumonia. It not only cures your cold quickly, but minimizes the risk of contract ing these dangerouB dlsenses. For sale by all druggists. C 'Oil RKNT. S-room cottage In Roseburg; close In.
