ROSEBURG A GREAT ENTERPRISE Sutherlin Valley to Get Railroad and Sawmills AGREEMENT HAS BEEN SIGNED Large Timber Land Owners to Build 27 Miles of Railroad and Mills Big Event is Celebrated at Sutherlin Last Monday's Daily Review con tained the following paragraph: "Several gentlemen of prominence have spent the past few days in this county looking into the conditions In relation to the development of some of our great natural resources, but up to this afternoon no definite ac tion had resulted. Some of them silent Sunday at Sutherlin and vicin ity, after visiting Roseburg." Further developments us a result of this visit to this county, are an nounced by the Portland Oregoninn In relation to a most important in dustrial movement in the Sutherlin Valley, being undoubtedly the largest development enterprise ever started here. That paper says: Agreements Are Signed. "Agreements signed in Portland yesterday between representatives of the Koach Timber Company, .the Weyerhaeuser Company anil the .1. F. I.use Company, of Sutherlin, set tled the first steps in the cons; ruc tion of the Sutherlin, Coos Hay & Eastern Hallway out of Sutherlin eastward to tap the big limber licit lying i'l miles from that city. ' "Representatives of the Eastern concern who were In Portland yes terday were W. L. Koach, or Musca tine, Iowa; C. M. Crego, of Spokane, and Williuni Musser, of Iowa City, who represents the Weyerhaeuser in terests, n. Walte and ,1. F. Luse. of the J. I''. Luse Company, of Suther lin, were the local parties to the agreement. "The engineer will be secured Im mediately and construction on the road will be put under way as quick ly as possible, it is reported. The first unit of the road to be com pleted will be 27 miles that will run eastward from Sutherlin. "Later it is contemplated to ex tend to Coos Hay and run into the Interior of the state. The immediate aim of the company is to provide for the development of the r4,iHH acres of timber east of Sutherlin. Mills (or handling this timber will proii anty be estii blishcd in Sutherlin." Gravel IHosit Visited. It was locally conjectured that when Mr. Crego and his associates were here about a week ago that among other things they inspected the big gravel deposit at Shady Point, just south of Roseburg, as to the sand and gravel there for hulling purposes, and for ballasting this pro posed railroad eastward from Suth erlin Into the big timber belt. Pro phetic of this great Industry now soon to be put under way, The Re view of Sept. 10, l(M:i, in an article on the. present and future of the Sutherlin Valley, said: "l.llmlH'riiig Soon Important. "While at present there is only a 'm h-' ;V ') - A X V VI small sawmill at the upper end of the valley, operating to supply the local demand for lumber, there Is tributary to Sutherlin about 80,000 acres of the finest timber to be found any where. This timber will nggregate the almost incomprehensible volume of six to eight billion feet of lumber. It would require ten large sawmills I'O years to cut this vast timber sup ply. It is eaBy of access, too. Only lf miles of railroad, practically on a water level grade, would reach from the S. P. K. R. line at Sutlierlin into this great timber belt. Owners of 4 4.000 acres of thiB timber land arc said to be preparing for the begin ning of active operations there the coming year." How enthusiastic the people there are over this great Industrial move ment is shown in the following letter from a citizen there: Felicitations at Sutlierlin. Sutherlin, Ore., May 1, 114.

LORY DEAD. J- Portland Oregonlan: Judge Rufiis Mallory, of tho law firm of Dolph, Mallory, Simon & Genrln, died at i o'clock yes terday at bis home, Salt East Thirty-ninth street, after an 4. ,4" Illness or three days. He lacked but a few weeks of be ;4" ing 83 years of age. Death J was due to the natural failure of health from old age. The dead jurist is survived by his widow and a married son, El mer E. Mallory, and by a brother. Homer II. Mallory, 87 years old, who lives on his farm near Andover, X. Y. All arrangements for the funeral have not been made. Elmer Mallory announced last night that his father's body would be cremated at tho Portland Cre matorium, an Institution which he helped to organize. Mr. Mallory was an early resident of Roseburg, his wile being a daughter of tho late Aaron Rose, founder of this City. He was tho first Noble C.rand of the local Odd Fel lows' lodge when It was insti tuted on -March It, 18.1 9. camera, provided Us neck is not I broken. Mr. Klaffki was formerly with his 'brother, the two making many noted discoveries regarding animal lire in travels thru Africa and North and South Americas. They received con siderable mention in various publica tions when they explored the wondei'B I or the Colorado Canyon with their cameras. With ropes they descended 1 to the most treacherous places, and in some cases so thrilling were their I adventures that their pictures were unable to pass the board of censor ship. They were lowered Into a vol jcauic pit in one iustunco which was seething with thousands of poisonous reptiles, nothing like it being known, where they said it was impossible to hear one's self talk, so great was the noise of their movement and striking. This was claimed to be too horrible for women and children to look at.

Big Parly Reaches San Diego After Many In sults to Themselves and to the Flag and Pres. Wilson (Special to the Evening Review). WASHINGTON, May 1. That the administration has small hopes of permanent peace In Mexico is indi cated by a request made in the House that army appropriations exceeding $1110,11(111,00 be made immediately available. This request in tho form of a joint resolution was introduced by Chairman llay, of the House mili tary affairs committee, with the President's npproval. It Is expected that a Blmllar rider will be added to the naval appropria tion bill. It has been learned that General Huertn has expressed a belated wil lingness to salute the II. S. flag un conditionally, if the United States forces are withdrawn from Vera Cruz. He was told that matters had now gone too far, and that he must eliminate himself from the Mexican situation. The mediators are await ing General Carranza's final reply to their request for an armistice, which he has thus far refused. The media tors hud assurance that iu both Washington and Mexico City the armistice had been agreed to. Menacil Refugees EhcjiH'. SAN 1)1 EGO, Cul., .May 1. After being stoned, insulted and threatened with death by Mexicans at Guudalu Jara and Manzanlllo, 257 American refugees, Including six women and 72 children, arrived here today on the German steamer Marie. The majority of the refugees were given 18 hours to lenve Mexico or become citizens. As they boarded the Marie at Mnuzaiilllo tho American consul ate wiib Btormed, and a dozen Ameri can flags were torn into strips and burned by tho Mexicans. A large pltcurc of President Wilson was taken from the consulate and cur ried to the wharf, whore tho Ameri cans had assembled. Horns had been drawn on tho President's head and ho was hailed as the Devil. The picture wub then trampled by the mob, torn into fragments and then burned. Enroulo from Guadalajara to Miinzaulllo the truin was attacked at every station. Stones were throwu through the car windows, and many American women fainted from fright. In Hunger of Execution. WASHINGTON, May 1. Tho Gov ernment Is endeavoring to learn the truth concerning Dr. Edward Ryan, an American, reported to he In dan ger of execution as a spy at Zacato cns. It is admitted that Ryan hnd been acting as agent for the Htalo Department as well as a Red CrosB representative, but it Is suid he hnd not made the slightest effort to con ceal that fact, so there are no grounds for treating him as a spy. Ilotlilitli-K to (Vase. WASHINGTON, April ill). -doner- Ml' ill Huerta tonight accepted tho pro posal Hint thero bo no further hostili ties between the United Stnteg and .Mexico pending the efforts of the en- voys to bring about an amicable set tlement of difficulties botwoen tho countries. j This was announced late tonight by Secretary ltryan, after he had been in conference for two hours with tho three South American diplomats at the Argentlno legation. Air. Uryan said he already formally had noti fied the mediators that the American (lovernment "took It for granted that there would be no hostilities during the mediation proceedings and had Intended no further acts of aggres sion while the conferences were be ing held." With theso replies before them, the envoyB were prepared to go ahead with their peace plans so far as the United States and the Huerta gov ernments are concerned. No word had come from Carranza, however, concerning the proposed armistice between the constitutional ists and federals In Mexico. Upon the rebel chief's answer largely depends tho plans of the mediators for under taking a peaceful settlement of the .Mexican problem, International strife, as well as the differences be tween tho United States and the Huerta regime. News from Chihuahua that Gen eral Carranza and General Villn weiv pushing ahead their southward movement and preparing for a gon eral attack upon Tnmpico threw a damper upon hopes of poace between tho warring Mexican factions. Restrained but none the less steady preparations for any military event uality nnd the quiet progress of the mediation program being worked out behind closed doors were the two outstanding features of tho Mexican situation today. While there has been no period set within which the negotiations must be concluded. Secretary Uryan said he believed' they would move forward "as rapidly as possible," A report that they might bo prolonged by tho mediators going to Mexico was met by the statement by one of them that such a journey was un necessary, ns they had every facility for speedy communication with Mexico.
