ROSEBURG. Or, April E. (Special.)
Kendall Bros., of Pittsburg, Pa.,
through S. A. Kendall, today submitted
a proposition to the people of Rose-
burg, whereby they agree to construct
a standard-gauge railroad from this
city to their timber holdings on the
North TJmpqua River, erect a modern
6awmill -in Roseburg and make other
substantial investments here, in ex
change for a mill site, right-of-way
and municipal bonds in the sum of
$300,000.
According to Kendall Bros.' written
agreement, the railroad will be 30
miles long and will cost approximately
$750,000. 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. To protect their investment.
which will total nearly $1,000,000,
Kendall Bros, demand a lease on the
line for 60 years and the option of l-ur-
chasing it at any time for $300,000.
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.
The proposition has been accepted by
a committee of citizens and prepara
tions will be made at once for float
ing the bonds, obtaining the rights of
way and arranging for a mill site. It
is believed here that the bond Issue
will carry and that actual work on the
road and mill will begin in June.
Kendall Bros, own thousands of
acres of timber lands on the North
Umpqua River, and they desire to be
gin cutting this as soon as possible.

EAST SIDE BUSINESS MEX'S CLUB
OPPOSES POSTAL, CHANGES.
Inconveniences to Business Interests
Pointed Oat In Proposed Snb
atatioa Consolidation.
"Removal of postal station 'A' on
the East Side and its consolidation
with station 'E' in North Portland on
the West Side would be a serious in
convenience to the business men and
great implement houses on the East
Side," said Representative C. 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.

TACOMA, Wash., April 5. (Special.)
Robert B. Moore, alleged fake rail
road builder, wanted here on a charge
of grand larceny, was arrested today in
Oakland. The Prosecuting Attorney's
office applied to Governor Lister today
for requisition papers and a deputy
Sheriff will leave tomorrow to bring

P. C. Jackson, a neighboring grocer.
In a burst of confidence, Moore told
the doctor of being able to get paid but
once in four months, so secret was his
mission. He showed credentials, said
to be bogus. He told the same tale to
the grocer. From Dr. Thueringer he
soon borrowed $303 to pay the grocer
and borrowed from the grocer to pay
his rent to tho doctor. When theae
transactions were closed he disap
peared last Thursday. Canadian l'aclrto
officials said he Is an impostor and the
warrant was issued.
