ROSEBURG FOR BENEFIT OF ALL Railroad to the Coast Would Help Whole Community ATTEND BIG MEETING TONIGHT This Railroad Can be Built if the People Give Their Endorsement to the Movement Which ft Proposed Sliow by your presence at the big railroad meeting at the Autler's Theater tonight that you endorse the movement inaugurated by the Com mercial Club for building a ruilruad rrom Koseburg to the coast, with the least possible delay. The time has arrived when definite action toward building such a railroad is impera tive. Therefore everyone should at tend the meeting tonight. Hon. Robert U. Smith, former Mayor of (irants Pass, arrived here this after noon, and will be the principal speak er at tonight's meeting. He was Mayor while the railroad movement was on there which has resulted in I actual construction now being in progress. Me knows the difficulties which have to be met, and further more is an alilu and interesting speaker. Several, local speakers will also give brief talks and Judge Mam Now Is the time ilton will preside. for united effort which will bring results. Needless to say opposition from various sources will crop up all along the line, but this movement is lor a rl,tiiil lo mimosa Mini must not lie 111-. lowed to he misled. Propositions will j doubtless be made to build the road for various specified sums. In most cases such offers are likely to really emanate from those who wish to block the movement altogether. It is to the interest of every property holder in Roseburg to be present at the meeting tonight. How this movement Is regarded elsewhere is shown In the following from the Medford Mail-Tribune: A Commendable Kxumple. i Grants Pass has set the small cities of Oregon n good example by voting $200,01)0 bonds to aid In the con struction of a railroad to the coast. It Is a precedent that must be fol lowed by other communities. The truth is dawning upon the people of Oregon that if the state Is to be developed, the people must start the development themselves. It is useless to expect any material as sistance from the metropolis, whose capitalists imagine that by building Portland skyscrapers they are devel oping the state. They have the sky scrapers, but not the developed state to sustain them. Roseburg has taken up a similar project and is discussing a railroad to Coos Bay. Roseburg has waited a great many years for the railroads to act, and waited In vain. It Is a hopeful sign when the people them selves take hold. Grants Pass has gamely overcome obstacles placed in the way. A spe cial law was passed by the Leglsla-; ture. Construction work has been J begun and carried on by means of i city warrants. Assistance from Port land In the floating of the bonds or In cashing the warrants was carefully withheld. One financier nfter an- other was Interested nnd probabilities ' mis evening, auu men comes me are that now the Supreme Court has schedu'e for next week. validated the bond Issue success will I Rudolph Ritzman knocked the sea crown the effort.

Under such a law, Curry, Jose nhine and Jackson counties could unite and construct the needed rail road to seaboard. The counties of Central Oregon could extend the necessary railroads through the In terior. The plan would work hardship, and the resultant increase in valuations in the territory affected uav for the railroad many times over. Oregon has partially solved the good roads problem by making It possible for counties to build high ways. Attention should now be cen tered upon making possible u pro gram of- railroad building. Almost every hindrance to pro gress imaginable was included in the Oregon constitution by its ultra con servative framers. Piece by piece the restraining ropes are being cut. The time has come to cut the ties that still bind and restrict so that a period of real development nnd pro gress may be Inaugurated. .Ml U NA IS WITHDRAWN'.
