ROESSLER WRITES LETTER
Give Information That Petition Has
Been Filed With War Depart
ment Two Cities Favor and
One Opposes Project.
NORTH BEND, Or., Dec. 23. (Special.)
Th question of bridging the Bay at
North Bend by the Southern Pacific Com
pany has again been called to the atten
tion of the Chamber of Commerce of
Coos Bay, North Bend and Marshfleld
by a communication from Colonel S. W.
Roessler, United States Engineers. The
letters addresned to the bodies named,
utata that a petition to cross the Bay
has been filed with the War Department
by the Oregon Western Railway Com
pany, this being the name under which
the line between Drain and Coos Bay
Is being constructed.
The letter states that Colonel Roessler
has had maps and copies of the petition
prepared and requests that they be given
careful consideration by the bodies to
which they are addressed and that a re
port be submitted expressing views as
to the Influence which the proposed
structure would have upon the naviga
tion of Coos Bay. A full and free criti
cism upon all features of the proposed
structure and its location is desired and
any suggestions for modifications, with
reasons therefor, will be received and
considered. The letter continues:
Text of the Letter.
"The question as to what should be the
clear width of pan in the draw openings,
measured perpendicular to the thread of
the current, should receive careful con
sideration. Another question worthy of
onslderatlon is the extent to which the
umerous piles In the trestle, especially
Between low water lines, will obstruct
the flow of the flood and ebb currents.
It Is desired to give all interested par
ties an opportunity to express their views
and to this end I would thank you to
give the matter as much publicity as
possible."
The matter of a bridge has already been
before the Coos Bay Chamber of Com
merce and the Marshfteld Chamber of
Commerce, the former passing a resolu
tion in favor of the bridge and the latter
opposing the structure. The North Bend
Chamber of Commerce has not yet taken
action, but the question Is now In the
hands of a committee and will be re
ported upon at an early date. The con
sensus of opinion here Is in favor of a
bridge, providing the Southern Pacific
will agree to grant to other railway com
panies seeking an entrance to this city
trackage privileges over the structure.
"Coos Bay is the only remaining har
bor for deep sea going vessels on the
Pacific coast, and we would be very
foolish Indeed to allow any corporation
to bottle us up," said a prominent busi
ness men. In speaking of the bridge.
Other conservative business men agree
with him. The same sentiment Is ex
pressed In regard to the waterfront, so
far as trackage facilities are concerned.
Marshfleld Is Opposed. .
Marshfteld has opposed and will con
tinue to oppose the bridging of the Bay
on the ground that the building of such
a strucfure vould be a deathblow 'to
navigation in the upper Bay, wnich many
contend Is the real harbor. The Coos
Bay Times, published at Marshfleld, In
discussing the question says:
"With the danger of absolute ruin to
the upper Bay and the sacrificing of the
entire waterfront, the question Is really
an Important one. It Is probably the
most important matter thaf has ever
been considered by the Coos Bay people.
"The railroad Is exactly what Is want
ed, and what is badly needed, but it
scarcely would appear necessary to give
up everything that seems valuable In
order to secure it. In short, there should
be nothing done for this particular road
that will prevent In the future any other
railroad coming In on the same footing.
"Nothing more fair could be desired.
Give them all a show to get into Coos
Bay and help them all you can, but do
pot give one anything that will keep
out the others. No ono ought to , be
narrow enough to consider their personal
Interests on one side of the Bay or the
other in such a matter as this. North
Bend and Marshfleld certainly must
stand together, as their Interests on the
upper Bay are the same. It should be
considered In the broad-minded way that
Coos Bay people can consider affairs.
Would Regret It Later.
"While the present generation does not
owe as rtiurh to posterity .as Is some
times supposed, yet the future good of
the place in this case must be regarded.
A misstep now will be costly in future
years, although It may require that one
live a good while to see it.
"We want railroads and we want them
badly, but now that the place is clear
of any obligations let them have every
thing reasonable and give them all, a
fair chance. Surely no fair person could
object to such a plan on the part of any
community."
According to the maps and petition sub
mitted the railroad company asks for the
bridging of the Bay at a point Just be
low what is termed the upper Bay and
the lower Bay, and the taking of the
entire waterfront from North Bend to
Marshfleld, and also the street In the
latter city which commands the water
front. This street is now the main busi
ness street of Marshfleld.
BOND CITY FOR IRRIGATION"
New System Will Be Installed at
Whit Salmon.
- HOOD RIVER, Or.. Dec. 2S. (Spe
cial.)1 At a recent meeting of the
Write Salmon Commercial Club It was
voted to bond the city for funds to
carry on Irrigation and' to secure a
more adequate water supply for drink
ing purposes. The plan Is to take
water from Big Buck Creek for a
system which will Irrigate about 200J
acres of land. In order to reach
White Salmon the water will have to
be brought across tne White Salmon
River. This will be done by means
of a wooden pipeline, which It is
thought by the promoters will be more
effective and cheaper In the end than
a ditch.
Heretofore good crops have been
raised at White Salmon without Irri
gation, but It Is expected that much
better ones will be possible with added
water supply. The earliest strawber
IDG
ries that are marketed In this part of
the country are raised at White Sal
mon, and it Is the best section for
tomatoes along; the Columbia River.
The dry Summer which was experi
enced last season, however, very se
riously reduced the crops there and
demonstrated that In order to get the
best results water must be obtained.
It was for this strawberry and tomato
land tiiat the Portland & Seattle was
forced to pay $58,000 for a strip a lit
tle more than two miles long.
PROGRESS ON NEW RAILROAD
Work Rushed on Pilot Rock Exten
sion of O. R. & X.
PENDLETON, Or., Dec. 22. (Special.)
Work on the Pilot Rock extension of
the O. R. & N. Is progressing rapidly.
The Pacific Coast Construction Company
which holds the contract for the grading
and similar work, has established camps
along nearly the entire route and Is
-working all the men and horses which
can be secured.
As a result of the building of this road,
the price of real estate In the- southern
part of Umatilla County has advanced
rapidly. There have been more real
estate transfers placed on record during
the past few days than during any cor
responding period In the history of that
portion of the country. One attorney
here drew up 25 deeds in one day for
lots In Uklah, a small town several miles
beyond Pilot Rock.
MAY GHMGE GOUHTY LIMES
BILLS TO BE PRESENTED TO
THE LEGISLATURE.
Grant County May Be Divided, and
the Granite District Annexed
by Baker County. .
GRANITE. Or.. Dec. 23. (Special.)
There will be brought -before the Legis
lature next month the matter of estab
lishing new county lines. In which Grant
County is much interested. The people
of the Long Creek. Hamilton and Monu
ment sections want the county to be
divided, the new county thus Joined to be
known as Northern Grant. A county
division association has been organized at
Long Creek, which has compiled statis
tics to show that the scheme is feasible.
The members contend that the new
county would have an assessment roll of
more than $900,000. and at the present
levy of 31 mills would pay its share of
the present debt, which would be paid oft
in four years.
In addition to the project, there will
probably be presented to the Legislature
the proposition of cutting off what k
known as the Granite country, of which
Grant is tl.e center, and annexing it to
Baker City. There Is a general sentiment
here favorable to the change. All of the
supplies of the section are obtained in
Baker County. Granite Is almost 30 miles
nearer to Baker City than to Canyon
City, the county seat of Grant, and the
roads to the former place are always in
a much better condition than to the
latter. .
The Grant County people are willing
that the change should be made, and
have expressed a willingness to assist
the residents of Granite in the matter,
but Baker County docs not seem very
enthusiastic over the addition. It Is said
to be holding - back in annexing the
Granite country . for fear that subse
quently an effort will be made to cut out
a new county from Baker, with Sumpter
as the county seat. Such a county would
be made to include the principal mining
districts of Eastern Oregon and be almost
exclusively a mining region.
WEftLTHOFCOWn
COOS COINTY IS THE WONDER
OF THE WORLD.
Great Strides in the Manufacture of
Hard-Wood Furniture That At
. tracts Eastern Attention.
MARSHFTELD. Or., Dec. 20. (Special.)
There Is such a comlbnation of coal and
timber on Coos Bay that the mere state
ment of tbe facts almost - staggers the
Imagination and the mere telling of them
In elmple language excites the wonder of
the reader like the romantic tales of a
Rider Haggard.
Last week, when your correspondent
narrated the coal measures of Coos
County and took the conservative esti
mates of the United States Geological
Survey, The Oregonian headed the article
"Government Report Gives Almost In
credible Statistics Concerning Undevel
oped Coal Mines of Coos County."
While the statement that Coos County
has 6,000,000,000 tons of coal may be start
ling, when It is said that the timber of
this county measures 16,000.000,000 feet one
can fairly grasp the enormous wealth of
this section that awaits development.
And this estimate Is no idle dream nor
random guess, but comes from a man
who has cruised nearly every quarter sec
tion In this county, and who has surveyed
much of It and Is thoroughly familiar
with all kinds of timber and has gathered
a fund of information as reliable as any
Government report. This man, Carl L.
Albright, is a timber specialist, and 13
well worth knowing. So careful was he
not to overestimate that he informed
your correspondent that when he made
his estimate, a year ago, there was
000,000 more than 16.000,000.000 feet, but that
he would let the 400-odd million go for
the slashing that has been done along
the edges within the last year.
And it may be Interesting to know that
the "slashing around the edges" was
done by U sawmills and two shingle mills.
And that there is to be no let-up in the
"slashing" business is evidenced by the
building of four new mills that will soon
be eating up rafts of logs day and night.
But what impresses one most on look
ing over this country la the fact that
while a great deal of the timber is load
ed on schooners and shipped to San Fran
cisco, there Is much of It consumed by
factories on the bay.
There are six shipyards In this county,
and yet they cannot supply the demand.
Among the steamers and schooners being
built are some flat-bottomed craft for the
Coquille River, which draw less water for
the same tonnage. While this class of ves
sels has been common on the Atlantic
and have a big advantage In shallow har
bors, they are new to the Pacific.
Not only Is the shipbuilding industry
enjoying ,a high-tide of prosperity, but
the manufacturing of furniture is com
manding the attention of home and out
side capitalists.
t A Second Grand Rapids.
The Coos Bay Furniture Company, lo
cated at North Bend, with two main
buildings 60x200 feet and employing 50
men. Is doing a thriving business. Some
of the furniture they turned out from the
native woods attracted so much notice
In the East that there was a demand for
a class of parlor suits of equal handi
craft to the best manufactured In Michi
gan. To supply this demand for high-art fur
niture, James W. Duncan is now having
a factory erected in North Bend, and he
will make a specialty of turning out noth
ing but the best that can be made from
the native birdseye maple,- myrtle and
chlttam, cherry and yew wood. He will
also make a high grade of chairs from
the alder, which Is eepeclaly fine and
durable for this class.
This factory will be one of the greatest
advertisements for the superior quality
of the native woods of Coos County for
high-grade furniture that it will not at
all be surprising if this bay soon becomes
as famous as a manufacturing center of
fine furniture as Grand Rapids. ,
Wealth of Standing Timber.
"Coos Bay." said Mr. Albright, "is to
day the mlllpond or center of the great
est standing timber belt in the United
States, having about 10 per cent of the
remaining virgin forest, untouched by the
woodman's axe. Coos County has now
about 16,000,000,000 feet of merchantable
timber.
"Within this estimate are included the
four varieties leading In the world's mar
kets, viz., white cedar, fir, spruce and
hemlock. '
"Port Orford, or white, cedar is fast
becoming the most Important timber In
the world. Every stick that has left our
shore has become a standing advertise
ment. -It is the only timber absolutely
worm proof. Its lasting qualities have no
equal. It Is susceptible of a line polish,
and makes a grand finishing lumber, com
manding a high price. Coos County, and
part of Curry, Is the only locality where
this timber is known togrow.
"Fir, or Oregon pine, is the commercial
timber of the world, which by its
strength, wear and ease of working has
no equal for any service such as bridges,
foundations for heavy machinery, ship
building and ahl-p spars. The stand of
this timber throughout Coos County Is
generally heavy. It is common to see
sections that will average 60,000 feet to
an acre, and very often claims of 160
acres will run 100.BOO to an acre. Single
trees in. many instances will scale from
20,000 to 30,000 feet.
"There is a spruce tree on the South
Slough that will turn out 50.000 feet, or
enough logs to keep Simpson's mill going
one day.
Its Intrinsic Value.
"While spruce Is used mostly for box
lumber, It Is a most valuable lumber for
finishing and for boats of small dimen
sions. For butter boxes, fruit bins and
any kind of closets where food is kept,
there is no wood equal to spruce, for It
Is perfectly odorless and will not taint
anything that will come in contact with
it. While we have a large quantity of
this timber still standing, it is more scat
tered than the fir; yet for size of single
trees it outclasses anything outside of
the famous California redwood.
"Through the valleys and Intermingled
in the ravines and gulches with the
larger timber, at a very conservative es
timate we have 4.000.000.000 feet of myrtle,
maple, alder, oak, ash, yew, madrone
and chittam.
"Myrtle is one of the most beautiful
hard woods known, varying in color from
light brown to Jet black or ebony. It has
a fine grain and Is susceptible of a very
high and rich polish. For office and bank
furniture it is superior to all other hard
woods. The large stand of this timber is
In the valleys of the Coos and Coquille
Kivers.
"Maple Is a popular hard wood, and
after myrtle is the favorite for fine fin
ish. It is found in the valleys and is a
close neighbor of the myrtle.
"While alder, in the strict sense, is not
a bard wood, yet it is used for a class
of high-grade furniture. While not of
great strength and durability, yet
through a series of experiments it has
been found to remain perfectly sound be
neath the surface of salt water near the
ocean, where exposed to the ravages of
the teredo, that makes quick work with
fir piles, which in some instances will not
last more than two years.
"Of ash, oak, yew, madrone, chittam
and cherry I wyi not speak at present,
for they only comprise the scattered tim
ber and do not attract the commercial
eye, either in quantity or quality, the
way those mentioned do."
ROBBER DROPS HIS HAT
Bloodhounds Lose Trail of Man Who
Shot Captain Macklin.
EL RENO, Okla., Dec. 23. The condi
tion of Captain E. W. Macklin',. who was
shot by a robber at his residence at Fort
Reno last Friday night, was improved
today and his recovery is assured, the
attendants say. The robber has not been
arrested, nor do the detectives on the
case seem to have any positive knowledge
of the man's identity or his whereabouts.
It is believed he caught a train at Darl
ington station, four miles distant, and
to which point his trail was followed by
bloodhounds.
The hat found at the rear of Captain"
Macklin's porch undoubtedly was drooped
by the robber, as from this hat was taken
the scent that enabled the bloodhounds
yesterday morning to follow-the trail to
the water tank at Darlington station. Ex
amination of the hat discloses the figures
"25," indicating that the hat once ber
longed to some man in the Twenty-fifth
Infantry. There is no letter, however,
designating the company, the letter hav
ing faded from the cloth.
This la by no means conclusive that the
man who shot Macklin was a soldier.
These hats can be found In the ashheaps
of the garrison and in the second-hand
stores at El Reno. Many men find a
certain pleasure In wearing discarded
Army paraphernalia, which is usually of
good quality and durable.
There Is still difference of opinion as to
the clothing worn by the negro. Captain
Macklin l3 unable to tell what the man
wore. The negro woman servant has an
idea that his garments were of the color
of the Army fatigue uniform, but It Is
not believed that the servant has a clear
remembrance of anything except the
sound of the shooting. Mrs. Macklin did
not get a clear view of the man.
WASHINGTON, "BTc. 23,-Major-Gen-eral
F. C. Ainsworth, the military Sec
retary; today received a telegram from
Brigadier-General W. S. McCaskey, com
mander of the Department of Texas, stat
ing that Captain Macklin has made a
statement in which he denies he threw
up his hands when attacked Friday night
by the unknown assassin. The wounded
officer declares that he was grappling
with the man when he was shot.
School Levy at Forest Grove.
FOREST GROVE. Or., Dec. 23. (Spe
cial.) At the district school election, held
yesterday for the purpose of deciding on
the amount of tax levy for the ensuing
year, the School Board reported that they
would need 6i90 to keep up the schools to
their present efficiency and provide for fu
ture growth. They estimated the lnaome
from State and county at J3189. leaving
$3340 to be raised by district levy.
The assessment on property In the dis
trict is 507,000. and they asked a levy
of 4 mills. This was the lowest levy
made in the district In many years, and
was voted unanimously.

Plans Are Laid to Make Upper
Willamette Navigable.
WHOLE VALLEY WILL HELP
Movement Had Its Origin in Car
Shortage Agitation Free Locks
at Oregon City Is
an Issue.
EUGENE, Or., Dec. 23. (Special.)
The determination of the commercial'
bodies of the Southern Willamette Val
ley to have an open river to Eugene
Indicates that something will be done
as soon as possible. No question has
been more seriously urged since the
car shortage meeting here than that of
the open river. In fact it is considered,
a part of the same question, and the
same men who will exert their best
efforts to see that the next Legisla
ture gives the state something effec
tive in the way of railroad legislation
will direct their efforts toward secur
ing National assistance for a commer
cial waterway as far up the Willam
ette as is feasible.
The older residents of Eugene re
member when boats bearing freight
did come to Eugene, and they remem
ber that during that time the rates of
the Southern Pacific were made to
meet this water competition. They
remember also how it happened that
the boats were taken off the river.
Newcomers have found that the freight
rates on the Southern Pacific are about
two-thirds, higher on an average, and
in some cases more than that, as soon
as the competition with the river boat
ends. There are so many surprising
little facts In the schedule of freight
rates that touch the newcomer that
he can't get away from the -Situation
and between his observations and the
old-timers' recollections the people
are coming to a clearer understanding
of their Interests and are planning
how best to accomplish their common
purpose.
The Merchants' Protective Associa
tion took the matter up at Its meet
ing Monday and last evening the Eu
gene Commercial Club took considera
ble time in discussing the question.
The plan is to enlist the Interest of
every shipper, merchant and farmer
along the upper Willamette to co-operate
with the Commercial Clubs and
other business organizations In what
ever plan the latter elect.
The Government assistance In the
past has been too limited to be con
strued as any argument against open
ing the river. Men .who at a former
time gave 'their financial support to
ward a private boat and lost money
through the venture stand ready to
help again. But there seems to be no
doubt In the minds of those interested
that the Government will assist. This
hoe is all the stronger because of
the reasonable assurance that Port
land and other points north will do
their part when the time comes.
There has never been such a good
feeling between this section of Ore
gon and Portland as exists now. This
Is doubtless largely due to the splen
did spirit shown by Portland in her
determination to co-operate with all
parts of the state to secure remedial
railroad legislation. .But the "pull to
gether for Oregon" spirit has been so
frequently evinced by Portland men
and Portland commercial organizations
that the people from this part feel
a confldfcnce In the metropolis that Is
coming to be more than mere senti
ment. And In the matter of the open
river no one seems to doubt Port
land's stand.
The movement for the opening of
the Willamette River to Eugene also
favors free locks at Oregon City, a
point upon which there is little debate
here. The committees from the com
mercial organizations here will an
nounce a plan of action in the near
future in which all other like organi
zations of the valley will be asked to
co-operate.
FARMERS SHOTJLD PROVIDE

Found at Experiment Station That
Careless Methods Cause Pneumo
nla. to Spread Among Porkers.
CORVALLIS. Or.. Dec. 23. CSpeclaU
A warning to farmers is observable In
pathological specimens received recently
at the bacteriological department of the
Oregon Agricultural College. The speci
mens Include lungs from hogs from va
rious parts of the State, which show that
in many cases death ' resulted from pneu
monia. It Ib a condition that should not
be found In the mild climate of Oregon,
and is ascribed to the burrowing of hogs
under strawstacks and heaps of refuse.
The hogs become overheated, after which
they come out Into the open air. becoming
chilled and often contracting pneumonia.
The heated and impure Rlr breathed un
der the stacks weakens the lungs, which
are rendered more susceptible to cold and
resultant disease.
Stomachs of hogs are frequently sent to
the laboratory, accompanied bya letter
stating that the animal died of poison; but
It is rarely the case that poison Is the real
cause of death. It would be better for
the owner to open the carcass and select
those parts which seem diseased or abnor.
mat. Those parts, together with the
spleen, should be forwarded when exam
ination and diagnosis is requested. There
should also be a description of the symp
toms and the appearance of the carcass.
"In the Eastern States, where hog rais
ing is a more important Item of income,"
said Professor Pernot, "hogs are provided
with suitable pens, with a limited amount
of clean, dry straw for bedding. They can
not sleep In the rain or burrow under
strawstacks or lie under the barn with
out becoming stunted and predisposed to
disease. They are very susceptible to tu
berculosis and pneumonia, and require as
pure air as any other animal. Considering
the present price of bacon and ham, hog
raising is too profitable an industry to al.
low the animals to die from lack of care."
