The mill which they pro pose to build will cost between $200,000 and $300,000, with a daily capacity of 200,000 feet of finished lumber, and will employ about 150 men. Twice that number will be employed in the camps along the route of the railroad. The railroad, according to Mr. Ken dall, will be owned by the City of Roseburg.

Roseburg is to' receive 25 per cent of the net receipts of the road. The road will be a common carrier and the same rates will be given competing lumber companies as Kendall Bros.

N. Mc- Arthur yesterday at the luncheon of the East Side Business Men s Club in the Hotel Edwards. The discussion was the result of a suggestion by the postal inspector. Mr. Benefiel, who presided, outlined the action taken by the postal author ities, who he said had turned down all tenders of locations on Grand avenue and had said that a laio savins of money could pe made by the consolida tion. L. M. Lepper, in a statistical report, showed that the business done at sta tion "A" had increased steadily, until, he said, the annual business done had reached the figure of $16d,000 a year. and for the past 10 years had totalled more than $1,500,000. 'The postal authorities propose to discontinue this Btation," said Mr. Lep per, "in the face of these figures be cause, they say, a little saving can be made. We have 22 of the largest im plement firms in the Northwest doing tusiness on the East Side through the East Side station, and the removal would inconvenience them seriously This office was removed to the West Side 14 years ago, but was brought back because, the great inconvenience and delays to mail delivery. The same thing occurred with the Sellwood posta station, which was changed back." ".T am glad to be of any service to this part of Portland." said Mr. Mc Artnur, "and shall at once wire the de partment at Washington on this mat ter. I can see that its removal would opoiate a tremendous handicap on the business interests of this community." it was decided to jo n with Mr. Lie- Arthur in a telegram to tne Department at Washington, and also to ask the aid of Senators Chamberlain and Lane in securing better postal facilities. A committee was appointed to take up the matter with the Portland Chamber of Commerce and another committee was appointed to prepare a petition to the department for the retention of the station with increased facilities.
