When the meeting was called to ; order, about a hundred earnest citi .;' zens had assembled in the club rooms, all anxious for a solution of ) the problem which was generally ad l uiltled to be most vital to the coun ty s ueveiopiueui. r rum me Keen untl steady attention that was mani fest throughout the meeting, break g out at times in enthusiastic de-f-Jiuuds for "more" when the speak JU'rs, among whom were men experi- uced in railroad building, took their vats, a fitting testimony was given laflie Interest that has been taken. , f'lifivo ttttpmlori a tiiimlrerl meetings !

Reddy, of Grants Pass, whose work has assured that section of a rail roud, similar to the one proposed ne'e, and DeWitt Van Ostrand, of S.N'eenah-Oregoii Land Co., heavy mors in this county, and many . ill men, spoke of the new road and not one word was heard in its oppo sition. While the committee had not as yet worked out any definite plans, their activity was noted and much favorable mention was made of the plan to bond the city for about $:illO, 000, with which to undertake the first link in the system, to later con tinue to the coast. It was generally agreed that the Grants Pass scheme be followed, giving this city the ad vantage of the former's experience. As a result of the meeting it was decided to get out petitions asking the council to call a special election on the Issuance of such bonds, the motion carrying with enthusiasm.

Porter reported that his i committee, which had been Instruct- i t ed to correspond with the Roach-1 jMusser Lumber Co., with regard to I nri7 tinXr Regions, had done as directed. Ihe sentiment of a recent meeting to this effect had been mentioned but the reply stated thut their plans already 'made and had decided on sutheniu as their basis point and could not be changed. The special railroad committee then reported. Chairman Perkins said several meetings of the commit tee had been held and plans formu lated, but these would be given out later. He singled out Dr. Reddy, who was present, and asked that he give the people some enlightenment ou the proposition. Mr. Reddy stated that he had not come here much Interested in this movement, but since learning the value of the couuly'8 resources, if the people became Interested them selves, he thought the road could be built without trouble. He said Grants Pass- had begun by asking for a $150,000 bonus, but they sub scribed only $37,(100. On the first vote on a bond Issue it carried, 1130 to 02. Mistakes followed this elec tion, he cited, in that the state laws did not provide for a city to build railroads. After a law making this possible was passed, the enext elec tion was also followed by mistakes. The election was held five days ear lier than provided by the charter. Careful attorneys attended to the de tails of the third election, and it carried for a third time without a hitch, and this was upheld by the Supreme Court. His county, he explained, had an assessed valuation or only $24,000, 000, as compared to nearly $38,000, 000 of this county, and there had been invested in Josephine County (Continued on page 6).

The a ff a i r Sa t u r d ay e ve niug was very similar to the one tendered Col. J. F, Luse last Thursday evening, and that this expression of gratitude on the part of the citizens was staged in two parts was due to the fact that Mr. Waite was out of town on the occasion of the first outburst of en thusiasm. Fifteen automobiles were placed at the disposal of those who desired to participate in the affair at Mr. Wake's home last Saturday, and many people residing In various por tions of the valley several miles from town came in to express their appre ciation of what was being done by Mr. Luse and Mr. Waite in further developing the great resources tribu tary to tliis vicinity. Hoseburg was I represented by several prominent I citizens, as was also Oakland. In ; fact, It was the biggest get-together 'meeting ever held in Southern Ore gon. For the occasion the rooms of the spacious Waite home were profusely decorated with flowers, while the great broad veranda which surrounds the west and south sides was decor ated with Japanese lanterns and pot ted plants. ; Hon. T. A. K. Lyman acted as master of ceremonies, and the first speaker introduced was Mayor W. J. Phillips, who made a brief but most appropriate address on behalf of those present. Mayor Phillips was followed by Hon. F. B. Waite, who spoke for nearly twenty minutes, during which time he reviewed hrief- ly the history of Sutherlin since the town was first started five years ago. He expressed his deep gratitude for the expression of appreciation made by the citizens for what hud been ac complished in the way of securing great industrial enterprises for Sutherlin, and assured thein that with their continued co-ope nil Ion and support, other great things look- , lug to Hie growth and development of this valley would soon be accom plished.

He stated that Mr. Musser was a close friend of James J. 11111, and that already negotiations were pend-1 lug looking toward extending the road through the Cascade range to ltolse, Idaho.

VERA Cltl'Z. May 4. General Mnas is believed to be preparing for an attack on Vera Cruz. Ills men's activity last Saturday in the vicinity of the city's waler works plant Is generally attributed to General lluerta's determination to draw the Americans toward Mexico City to protect himself. That opposition to the dictator in Mexico City has leached a point where he Is person ally In serious danger Is now known positively. From Vera Cruz he counted on the Americans beginning their march promptly to Mexico City, feeling sure that this would unite all Oe Mexican ructions against them. Hy lingering at Vera Cruz, the enemy upset lluertu's plans. Ac cording to reliable Information his position now is hopeless. It Is said the best he Is figuring on now is to get safely out of Mexico, and that he can see no way of doing this but by making it Impossible for the Ameri cans to avoid enpturing him.

H. l.indsoy place, across the river from this city, both wore struck by pieces of a stray bullet, nred by some unknown party.

The bullet after being fired evidontly struck some object und was split In pieces, and its force was mostly spent before these ladles wore struck, before theso ludlcs wore struck. A practlco of shooting Into the river Is believed to be the cause. Thero have been other reports of promiscuous shooting along the river, both from in the city limits und from the Alt. N'ebo side. This Is not only a very dangerous practice, but It Is forbidden, both by a city ordinance and by slate law. No shooting Is allowed within the city limits, and no person Is allowed to shoot on the premises of unothor without the owner's permission.
