Factionalism is one of the worst
blights that can afflict a community,
and is is apparent that Roseburg has
altogether too much of that afflic
tion at .the present time. While the
town Is now making an excellent
growth, this advancement would be
greatly accelerated by unity of ac
tion. We have gotten beyond the
village stage of existence and are
rapidly advancing In the acquire
ment of the features of a modern
city. Kvery new institution or enter
prise, wherever it may be located, is
of benefit to the entire community.
Unfortunately, factional differences
have prompted some individuals to
oppose certain enterprises simply he
cause they could not control the
policy of management, the location
or some other minor feature. Too
often this has discouraged or driven
away intending investors, to the ma
terial loss of the community. Local
ly these factional interests are pretty
well known, and their Influences can
tye guarded against and generally dis
counted or overcome. With new
corners or prospective Investments,
which would result In great good to
the community, aro likely to be
driven elsewhere.
A very important feature lit this
lino is now before us. The arrival
hern of W. K. Pierce, a heavy capi
talist of Holse, Idaho, is expected in
a 'day or two. His mission is to in
vestigate the conditions and advisa
bility of building an electric railway
from some point In Douglas County
to the Coos Hay country. For tbe
past two days persistent rumors
have been in circulation here that
an emissary has been sent to meet
Mr. Pierce, if possible, to discourage
his taking hold of this enterprise. If
true, such action cannot, be too se
verely condemned. On the olber
hand every citizen of Roseburg and
Douglas County should unite in wel
coming Mr. Pierce or any other man
who is able to develop such an Im
portant movement. All factional dif
ferences should be forgotten and
such a united welcome extended to
Mr. Pierce that, ho will realize that
this whole county is in earnest in
their efforts to secure a direct trans
portation line to the coast. Public
sentiment often goes a long way In
such matters. If the community Is
divided in this matter, It will very
quickly become apparent to a man
of Mr. Pierce's experience and he
will be unlikely to take up the matter
in the face of opposition by any local
h'ment or faction.
Don't overlook the fact that Rose
burg will grow to Ihree times Its
present si.o within the 'next three
years, with a direct line of railroad
built to the coast. Therefore It Is
especially Important that proper at
tention be given In extending a cor
dial and united reception to Mr.
Pierce upon his arrival.
.Meanwhile it will be a splendid
Idea to "cut out" all knocking on any
local enterprise, wherever It may be
located.

In the efforta to run down the
murderer of 12-year-old Mildred
Green, of Ktigene, vagrant negroes
have been arrested In Koseburg and
Medford, following the information
Imparted by R. Morgan, a Southern
Pacific brakeman, that a negro tramp
tried to board a train ut Kugene on
the morning tho child was slain.
Aroused over the fiendish crime, citi
zens of Uugcno held a mass meeting
Inst nigh and posted a reward of
$ii00 for the arrest nnd conviction of
the murderer. The County Court
has offured $1000 more. Governor
West announces that he will recom
mend lo the Legislature an addition
al reward of $2fi0U.
Tho negro under nrrest In Itoae
burg Is II. 10. Harris. Ho was found
by Sheriff (Julne yesterday afternoon
In "Tho Jungles," south of tho city.
He does not answer tbe description
of the negro seen by llrakeinun Mor
gan, either In physique or as to Ills
clothing, nnd the Sheriff believes he
is not i ne rigut man. i no prisoner,
however, will be turned over to a
Kugeue oTflcer who will come hore
this evening.
Harris carried a caso knife with a
broken blade and a razor. On his
trousers was n stain that two local
physicians, after an examination,
could not Identify hb human blood.
A minute examination of the stain
will bo made iu Hugene. Harris
told Sheriff Quiuc that he was em
ployed by Raker & Johnson, near
Kugcnc, until about ten days ago,
when he resigned his position and
went to Portland. He says he re
turned to Kugcne Monday, where he
remained until late Tuesday night,
when lie boarded the southbound
Shasta Limited and came to Rose
burg. When asked if he was conversant
with the Green murder ho evidenced
apparent surprise nnd Bald he hnd
beard nothing of It.
A Kugcnc dispatch Bays that Rev.
Mr. Green, the grlef-Hlrlcken father,
has kept close to home since the
murder, moaning und grieving for
his lost daughter.. He Is compara
tively quiet when anyone Is with
him, but alone he paces the floor and
heats bis head witli his hands, Tho
neighbors are fearful that he will do
Injury to himself or to some of them
in his frenzy.
Numerous Theories.
As usual In such cases, numerous
theories are advanced regarding the
murder. Among these Ib the almost
unthinkable one that the girl's father
was the iiorpolrator. While he Is a
minister of tho llnptist denomina
tion he bad no regular pastorate and
is said to entertain anarchistic vlewH.
Another fealurn advanced hy those

fused to gve his name or make a

The arresting officers mkde no

wards contradicted himself by saying
that he hud been In Umatilla, Or. A
