ROSEBURG GIVEN A BIG BOOST
Plan of Promoting Railroad is Outlined By
Mr. Perkins and Meets With
Approval of All
MAIiSHFIRUl. July 10. "The
railroad which will connect ltoseburg
witli Coos Hay is now assured; it is
just a matter of following out the
details," said J. W. Perkins, chair
man of tho railroad commission of
ltoseburg, this morning. "We have
men behind this project Hint will
mnlio it a success. There Is absolute
ly no chance for It to be otherwise.
"More than eighty per cent of the
people of ltoseburg aro enthusiasti
cally boosting the project and some
of them are talking of bonding to the
extent of $."i0l).U0il instead of $:i(ltl,
000. Tho railroad commission as a
body favors the larger amount, and
personally, 1 think it will be favored
generally.
The matter will be voted on at our
regular city election the first week
in October, nnd In all probability 80
per cent of the voters will put their
names on the petition. At the com
ing election tbe railroad commission
will be legali.ed as commissioners to
issue the bonds and to contract for
the railroad work."
Mr. Perkins said that the commis
sion would not spend a cent until the
road is under contract with the bonds
for security. The whole project is
to be engineered In a business-like
manner, lie says. Perkins also said
that he will endenvor to have the
railroad commission continue indefi
nitely, even after the completion of
tho road, for tho purpose of building
extensions and promoting business
conditions generally.
Among the men who are behind
the proposition, us named by Mr. Per
kins, are A. C. Marsters. president
of the ltoseburg National Hank; II.

that Marshfield would got, two dol

He said that the rivers all drain to

of the road are built up tbe Pmpqua
