Pollman Says it Would Cost About $150,000 lo lay Main Bttweti Rose bur; and Winchester at Present. That a new water main will eventually be laid between lioseburg and Winchester in order to better care for the patrons of the Douglas County Light & Water Company. In this city, was the statement of Wil , liam Pollman, general manager or i the company, .yrior to his departure from Rosehurg late iast evening. Mr. Pollmun and wife arrived here a few days ago from Raker, and have since been inspecting tne formers hold ings in tiiis vicinity. In an interview with a Review rep resentative last evening, Mr. Pollman stated he realized the necessity of a new water main between Koseburg and Winchester and that the Bame would be installed wit hin the next few years. ruder normal conditions the main w hhh the company pro poses to lay between the two toyvns would tost about $.".o.ooo. The war has playel havoc with the pipe mar ket, however, and the laying of the line at the present time would entail an expense of about $ 1 .Mt.tiuii, n--1 cording to Mr. Pollmau- At the time the new pipe line is laid other equal ly as subs taut ial improvements will he made by the company. Mr. Pollman says business cond' tions are good t h rough out Kastern Oregon and the business men and farmers of that locality have no com- 1 plaint to offer, "in Portland I found the merchants opt i mist ic," said M r. Poll man. " and the opinion prevail." t here t hat 1 he trend of the goo I times is westyvard. If this is true, I am convinced that the Pacific Coi'.-'t will soon enter upon an eta of pros perity unprecedented in its history, liosehurg is a delightful little ciiy, and I was quite surprised to find so many improvements under eon tem ptation here at the present time. Th" erection of the Federal building and s-hool building cannot help hut stim ulate business here. ity the time these projects ,re under way 1 am advised ihe railroad from Rosehurr to the National forest reserye will be under construction. Only people who have lived in manufacturin : cities can realize Hi" benefits thai will he derived from the construction of this railroad and its attendant In dustries." Mr. Pollman ami wife left here late last night for Portland. After a few days spent there they will continu. their journey to Raker. VAIA ari.i: oiti: mr Mi. .T. R.
