Construction of Highway
From Steamboat Feasible
and Travel to Lake
' Would Be Large.
It Is safe to aay that one of
Roseburg's biggest assets would be
a road up the North Umpqua river
to Diamond lake. Those who have
been only lukewarm on the propo
sition should take the trip over the
trail astride a horse and (east their
eyes on the most wonderful scenery
God ever created. From a stand
point of recreation and outing, as
well as the necessity of a good
road tapping that vast store of
merchantable timber, the proposed
K plan of continuing the highway
from Steamboat to the road at Dig
Camas is a mighty commendable
one and the people of Douglas
county should center their efforts
on the project
By auto to the Bogus Creek road
camp Is an easy trip at this writ
ing. A trip that far gives, one a
bint of the scenery that Ilea be
yond. With the completion of the
road to Steamboat late in - the
summer, the traveler will be able
to get u better Idea of the North
Umpqua country, for that stretch
of five miles from the end of the
present road to the Steamboat
ereek Is typical of the entire North
Umpqua. The members of the road
party who made the trip this week
are firm in their belief that road
construction beyond would be no
more difficult than that which has
already been accomplished. In fact
there are numerous places where
the 'road could be constructed for
slightly over a thousand dollars
per mile. It is true, of course, that
at some portions there will be
some mighty heavy construction
work to do and the use of large
quantities of powder will be nec
essary, but engineers estimate that
the road can be placed over that
strip, slightly over 20 miles in
length, for about (6000 per mile.
It is Imirassible to give a descrip
tion of the country to be travers
ed by the proposed road so that the
reader would be able to gain au
Idea of the grandeur of the gaping
canyons, towering peaks, dashing
waters and murmuring creeks. To
see this handiwork of God with
your eyes is the only possible way
to get some conception of what
Douglas county could offer to the
tourist in the event the road is
built. It would be the wonderland
of the west. Roseburg would be
the mecca for thousands of tour
ists w ho would make this the turn
ing point for their Journey to Dia
mond and Crater lakes. The fact
that all of this land, including Dia
mond lake, Is located in Douglas
county is another feature worth
noting.
The road party. Inspecting the
country in an effort to secure data
for the location of the road, found
several routes that were feasible.
The biggest problem confronting
them, however, was the location of
a route to rise to Oak Flats across
the river. On account of the prob
ability of power sites being built
along the North Umpqua river,
It was necessary to find higher
locations along the mountain
sides In order that the backing up

Indications that H. Kirk, former
Honolulu photographer, was mur
dered with his hands tied, not
shot In a duel, and that rivalry
over the affections of a woman
may have prompted hla slaying
and the suicide of John Truden,
whose body was found at Jacumba
last Monday, were being scrutinis
ed by police and sheriff's Investi
gators today.
A letter written by Truden he
fore he killed himself, told of a
duel at twelve paces with .38
calibre revolver, "purchased for
the purpose In San Diego," and
explained that since he had been
victorious in the exchange of bul
lets with Kirk, hla enemy for six
years. It devolved upon him to
write finis to the affair by putting
a bullet through his own brain.
Late yesterday, however, the
city marshal or Imperial found a
knotted silk stocking, a knotted
necktie and an army belt, all
blood-stained, all concealed near
where Klrk'a shot-riddled body
was found. Hair resembling
Klrk'a clung to the stocking and
necktie, which apparently had
been cut from the body of one
who had been gagged with the
stocking while his hands were tied
with the necktie and hla feet
bound together with the belt. The
officer said he was satisfied Kirk
met death hound and gagged. In
the Honolulu man's coat was
found a letter from a woman In
that city, dealing at some length
with a past love affair with Kirk
and containing the sentence:
"Our affair can go on no lon
ger." Truden was a former army
man, but whether he was ever
stationed in Honolulu or ever liv
ed there as a civilian, had not
been determined early today.
Kirk, it was learned, had pack
ed bia belongings and made ar
rangements to leave for Honolulu
a few days before death cancelled
his plans.

meets In Knoxvllle, Nashville and
Jackson and failure to be heard on
the "evolution Issue" In Septem
ber would result in a delay of one
year. Lawyers yesterday suggest-!
ed a bare possibility that the caae
might have to go to an appellate'
jourt before reaching the supreme'
court under an act of the last
legislature expanding the power of.
the court of appeala to hear certain'
cases formerly considered by the'
supreme court. It waa considered
unlikely, however, that the Scope
case would be side-tracked before'
reaching the atate'a highest tri
bunal. ; . .
In connection with the perfection
of the appeal It waa pointed out
that a new line-up nf lawyers may
be found when the case la heard In
Knoxvllle.
John R. Neat, as aenior counsel
was expected to represent the de
fense, but his associates may not
be those who appeared to r the
trial court. '
Balnbridge Colby, former aecr
tarv nf state, and an active fivurw
in the case before the trial at Dayi
ton, waa not present here, Dut hla
associatea pointed out that he had
not withdrawn and was a member
of defense counsel. Asked If Mr.
Colby would make an argument
before the supreme court, , Neal
said that while he waa not prepar
ed to announce who would speak
for the defense at Knoxvllle. Mr.
Colby waa "still In the case."
Frank Thompson, attorney-general
of Tennessee, will, by virtue of
his office, represent the state In
the case. . '

QI'INCY, Ills., July 22. A 15
year search for her parents was
ended yesterday, when Mrs. Clar
ence McNeall, of Denver, arrlvod
hero and embraced Mr. and Mrs.
Joseph Heck of this city.
Mrs. McNeall said that when
she was a girl nf nine and living
In Pendleton. Oregon, among her
neighbors, there wss a rhildleaa
couple named Gardner, who be
came very much attached to her.
They Induced her parents to al
low her to remain with them for
a lime, after which the Hecks
took her back home. The Gard
ners, she said, offered her per
ents Inducements to allow them
legally to sdopt the child, but
tbey refused.
Mrs. McNAitl said that the Gard
ners then moved to Portland, and
In a short time a strange man
came for her and took her to th
Gardners. It was the last she
saw of her parents until she met
them here today. The Gardners
treated her as their own daugh
ter and sent her to a private
school, at all times endeavoring
to impress upon her that she was
all a daughter could be to them
and asking her to forget her
parents.
Home years ago the Gardners
died, within a short time of each
other, and Mrs. McNeall began
the sesrch for her psrents. A
short time ago ah learned from
a dl'tant relative, there wa
family by the name of Heck llr

this city. Facts contained In the
reply left no doubt In her mind
that she had at last found her
parents. Yesterday ah came her
and the Identification waa completed.
