A A Bridge at Rock Creek and Road to Boundaty Are Desired By Many. EXPENSE IS NOT HIGH Homesteaders Are PurUcularly Anx ious to See Road Built and Agree to Provide Labor and Teams for Short Section. Following the collapse of the Rock creek bridge a few days ago senti ment appears to be rapidly taking shape and will doubtless crystalizc In an endeavor to Induce the county court to take some action relative to replacing the bridge and building the road further up the river. Douglas county people are rapidly coming to realize the commercial value of a road up the North Umpqua river and undoubtedly the county court will be requested to make a start on the construction of such a road next summer by building the section be tween Rock creek and Boundary, from which point on co-operation could be secured with the forestry department. Homesteaders in the Honey creek and Burnt mountain vicinity are very anxious for a road to be built to Boundary. At the present tlmo thty have only a trail over which to trans port their supplies and produce and the development of their holdings is consequently retarded. . They are willing to co-operate in every pos sible way and yesterday a statement was made by three of the homestead ers in. that vicinity, that should the county consent to build a road to the eastern side of the "hog s back, that they would be willing to open up and grade the road from there on to Boundary without expense lo the county. If this should be done it would permit auto travel for nine miles above Rock Creek and would open up some very valuable land. There is only a small part of the work of difficult or expensive con struction and an excellent start could be made on the proposed North Umpqua highway. From Rock creek to Honey creek there is already a road which could be cleared for a very small expense. One small bridge would be needed and it would prob ably be necessary to reduce a few grades, but the total expense would not be great and It is possible that co-operation with the bureau of pub lic roads, maintained by the govern ment for assisting in the construc tion of highways tributary to the national forests, could be secured. Around the mountain locally known as the "hog's back," construction would probably be costly as the road must be blasted out of solid rock. This is only for a short distance, however, and on the east side of the mountain a road could be opened to Boundary at a very small cost, as the ground is practically level and open. It is quite certain that those who are in the habit of spending a large part of the summer season at Rock creek will bring some sort of con certed, action in an effort to secure the rebuilding of the Rock creek bridge. This structure will Cost sev eral hundred dollars, But is badly needed. When asked whether or not the forestry department could co operate In the construction of such a bridge, Forest Supervisor Ramsdell stated that the forestry service can not assist in roads ouulde of the na tional forests, this being left to the bureau of public roads, but that he had $250 of an old road fund which he will be willing to appropriate to co-operate with the county on a 25 per cent basis up to the amount of the fund. This would be of great assistance to the county and would materially aid In paying the con struction costs. m the event the court decides to Fiush the work from Rock creek on, t Is very probable that considerable labor would be donated by residents of that section, as many of them have made statements to the effect that they would be willing to donate time and teams If the county would put In a road. They particularly de sire that a survey be made so that any work done be permanent. The North L'uipqua road project Is one of vital Importance to Douglas county. By putting a road up the river It would connect with the proposed Skyline route and would form one of the most scenic routes In the state, while at the same time It would open up an agricultural region that ia now lying useleas. At the present time thousands of head of stock are being eared for on the ranges in the national forest, and It is a very costly matter to move stock over the trails while the ex pense of getting In supplies to the men engaged in herding the cattle Is enormous. A road up the river wonld be of great benefit commercially as well as for an added attraction to tourists and as a scenic highway. It is very probable that the Cham ber of Commerce will consider the proposed road from Rock creek to Boundary and bring the matter be fore the court at some future date. New Baggage Train Is Started Today Presumably to care for the rush of Christmas packages, a new baggage train has been placed on the road by the Southern Pacific company. It will carry nothing but express and will be known as second 13. First 13 reaches this city at 2:55 a. in., and no exact time has been set for the new train except that it will run about four hours behind first 13, which will place It here about 7 o'clock each morning. The new train will carry no passengers but will bandlo all the express formerly on? first 13 and on train No. 53, which arrives here at 9:10 in the morning and will carry no express after this time. The Morning Orcgonlana for merly due here on train No. 53, will now arrive early in the morning. Al though no statement has been made us to the permanency of the train, it is generally thought that It will be removed following the rush of Christmas baggage. Jeters Meetings Greatly Enjoyed The revival campaign at the Elks' hall, with the "Jeters" In charge, is under way. The evangelist will more than meet our anticipations. The Bible readings by Mrs. Jeters at 3:30 each day are clear, scriptural and Il lustrated by striking incidents from her experience. The Rev. is a fine song leader, and preaches a sound, sane and clear doctrine. His ser mons abound with practical applica tions, and a fine humor. He la a "master of assemblies." You will be Interested. His drawing and car tooning, done In connection with his evening services. Is most entertain ing. Come to the hall.

" Fruit Growers Hold Meeting Over a hundred of the fruit grow ers of Douglas county uet yesterday afternoon in the court room of the courthouse to hear C. I. Lewis, or ganization manager of the Oregon Growers Co-operative association, make a report of the activities of the organization for the past season.

Mrs. F. A. Bemls sang "Give to the Wind Thy Fears," one of the hymns used at that time. Rev. E. W. Warrington spoke briefly of the moral condi tions of our city, putting mem witn a question mark saying that the W. C. T . U. and like, organizations should be the ones to make an In vestigation of affairs, which Is badly needed. Hon. O. P. Coshow wss then introduced, and spoke on the Chil dren's Farm Home. The W. C T U. is putting over a drive for the home and Mr. Co'how is chairman for this county. At the close a number of ladles volunteered to solicit tor funds and a live discussion followed the talks by the gentlemen. A committee to sell the Red Cross seals was named, Mrs. Chas, Stanton, Mrs. C. L. Hadley. Mrs. W W. Grae and Mrs. Parslow. It was voted to hold the social meeting In the afternoon Instead of in the evening on account of iho special revival meetings now being held.

CEOERSIROM MELT Boxer and Promoter Meet Local Battler and Arrange Go at Cottage Grove. FINE CARD ARRANGED Kitcl.it', the Oregon Uor, Will Meet With Sain Ijingfonl, the 1 button Tar Baby, or Joe liomls, Taooina Fighter. Rcy Cedarstrom, local boxer, and Soweil Deane, of Spokane, will put on an eight-round go at Cottage Grove In the very near futuie, ac cording to a contract signed by the two fighters here yesterday. Ike Smith, of Mod ford, who is promoting the match, stated that the boxer t-t which Cedarstrom and Ieane will be mute hod will be one of tho best to be hold outside of Portia id and will in clude unother bout hot ween Karl Ritchie ancTSam Lnngford, or Ritchie and Joe Bonds, of Turn ma. The ex act t'ate has not yet been announced but will probably be in about two weeks. Di ane, who is to be Codarstrom's opponent, has twice defeated Knock out Carmen, the man who vanquished Cedarstrom at Grants l'ass. Cedar strom received his knockout in a very unusual manner, and before being put down for the count had tho mice on bis opponent, according to those who witnessed the fight. Cedar- strom's knockout came after a clinch. He stepped back after dropping his gloves, and half turned away, making a clean break. Carmen followed in and before the local fighter could re cover had swung a terrific blow which left Cedarstrom groggy for the next round affd allowed the Port land man to score the winning punch. In the event Cedarstrom can beat Deane he will recover the position he lost to Carmen and If he desires will be able to force another match with that fighter or else force "him to ac knowledge tho local boxer's superior ity. - - - ; Although there is not much time before the fight, Cedarstrom expects to he in first class condition. He went into Btrict training today and believes he will be in top condition by the time the fight is called. Ho hns been working nurd at railroad work and is down to weight, and only needs to do a small amount of train ing. Deane, his opponent, received his early pugilistic training In and around Spokane and during the past year hflfc been at Los Angeles, where he has met some of the best fighters of that part of the coast. He is sad to be an excellent fighter. He weighs In at 145 pounds. Ike Smith, who was with Deane In Roseburg yesterday, states that he beUoves this match will be an ex ceedingly good one and he expects a large crowd to be present when the npht Is staged. ' Another Interesting match will be that In which Karl Ritchie, the Ore gon logger .will participate. Ritchie stands well over six feet tall and we4ghs 204 pounds stripped. He Is booked to meet either Sam Langford, the "Boston Tar Baby," or Joe Bond?, of Taconia. Lincoln's Village Is Bting Restored SPRINGFIELD, III., Dec. 2. Re storation of the village of New Salem, where Abraham Lincoln worked as grocery clerk, fell In love with Ann Rutledge, carried the post office In his hat and whipped the champion of the "Clary's Grove Pys," will te completed by next spring and with the addition of the Old Salem museum, will be thrown open as the Old Salem state park, ac cording to announcement of State Architect Edgar Martin. Log huts as they were In Lincoln's day have been rebuilt. Their location and arrangement Is exact. Founda tions were found undisturbed except by the wear of time, and the houses reconstructed over them. Atmosphere of 18U1 to 1837 in so far as possible is re-embodled. The store where Lincoln was clerk, the mill on San gamon river and all othr structures of "New Salem." so rich In memories of the great American, hare been completely re-stored and lack only the finishing touches. Reside reproducing the actual vil lage, the state has added a large frame house of the betttr class In Lincoln's day, which will serve as a state museum to house Lincoln relics. This house Is modeled afvr a fine old residence In St. Genevieve. Mo., which village Mr. Martin said ia a town lifted bodily ont of the last century. The architecture la of the best of Lincoln's day. Contracts for the wiring, heating and plumbing of the museum have Just been let. In restoring New Palem the depart ment was forced to follow the same tactics used In restoration of mora ancient cities. New Salem dwindled rapidly ufter Lincoln moved away, and shortly after 1837 whs entirely deserted. When the last general as sembly authorized the creation of the Old Salem stale park, only the weather-beaten foundations could be found. The 62 acres of the restored village and state park are 23 miles north west of Springfield in Menard county. Making a Search For Missing Body (By Associated PressJ. TORONTO, Dec. 2.

Former Sherrif of Multnomah County Finds Sufficient Evidence to Convict. ROBBED ALBANY STORE Two Indies' Coata Taken; From Store at Albany and One of CoatH Pawned at Eugene Admit .Illicit Ittton. . . XT. M. Word, former sheriff of Multnomah county, now special in vestigator for the TJ. S. department of justice, arrived in Roseburg last night and spent today in the city, investigating the rase against J. A. Dukes and Mi s. Babeen, who are held lrere by the local officers on a charge nf white slavery being lodged against the former. The officer has disclosed several new facts which "will- make the caae against the man much huM er and It is practically certain that Dukes will be given an extremely se vere sentence. Through adroit questioning Mr. Word lerfrned that Dukes, who trav els under several aliases, is an ex convict, having served a sentence In a Kansas penitentiary after being ar rested and convicted for holding up a street car and robbing the passen gers. It is believed that he was on parole from the Kansas prison and an effort is being made to obtain his record there. It was also learned that while in Oregon, the man entered a store at Albany and stole two valuable ladles' coats, worth about $75 each. Mrs. Babeen is wearing one of the coats and the officers were told that the other was sold at Eugene for $10. It is believed that he has been Impli cated in several other robberies and his movements throughout the state will be carefully traced in an effort to ascertain whether or not he is re sponsible for some of the many rob beries that have occurred. The girl today divulged more In formation, and It Is quite probable that even additional evidence will be secured. The man has given enough testimony against himself to assure conviction on a white slavery charge. He admits transporting the girl from Montana to Oregon, through Idaho and Washington, and of having lived with her during the several months they have been together. She Informed fhe officers that he has at frequent times been compelled to submit to the attentions of other men while Dukes took the money they offered. She claims to be afraid of him and says that he will kill her if he Is allowed to go. Mr. Word secured sufficient Infor mation today to assure him that the case is one which should come under the jurisdiction of the fedral au thorities and he has tel graphed to Portland for a marshal to take th" man and the girl to the metropolis to stand trial. He returned to Port land on the afternoon train today. TXFKItKXCK Is UXKI SAV FRANCISCO.

'The large attendance last evening . made It Impossible for the majority to view the exhibit.

It Is suggested lh:U they visit the exhibit during the hours of from 4 to 6 and so bo out of the rush that Is apt to occur In the evening. That the people are interested In this educational advantage is shown by the fact that over one thousand tlckest have already been sold.
