April 12. (Special.) That a standard-gauge railroad will be constructed from Roseburg to Rock Creek, which is -within a'stOne's throw of the richest timber belt in Douglas County, was practically assured here late today when the City Council In executive session decided to call a spe cial election and so to amend the city charter so that the municipality may proceed and construct the railroad from Roeeburg to Rock Creek instead of to the Umpqua. National Forest re serve, as planned at the time the orig inal 1300,000 bond issue was authorized by the voteis of this city iy a. majority of nearly 9 to 1. The recent decision of the Oregon Supreme Court will be followed to the letter and the bonds previously author ized will be used in constructing the railroad. Rollins Stock to Be Modern. The road will be of standard con struction, including rails and- ballast, and will be equipped with modern roll ing stock. In the contract which the Supreme Court recently held to be in valid provision was . made for leased rails. A formal resolution authorizing the special election will be adopted by the Council next Monday night. The elec tion will be held 30 days later, and. if the amendment to the city charter is authorized, actual work on the railroad should begin in May. Upon .its com pletion the railroad will belong to the city of Roseburg and can be operated by tbe municipality or leased to Ken dall Bros, and their association or any other responsible persons who may de sire to move their timber. No contract, either verbal or writ ten, will be entered into for leasing the railroad to anyone -until after its com pletion. Sawmill Agreement la Expected. Although there is no assurance that Kendall Bros, will lease the railroad, S. A. Kendall is expected to agree to build the Bawmill originally planned by him in the event he should succeed in leasing the railroad. He also is ex pected to agree not to engage in the mercantile business or any other indus try which will compete with enterprises already established here. With the exception of voting bonds, which already have been authorized by the people here and held valid by the Supremo. Court, the city will follow the procedure adopted by Grants Pass some time ago in building a railroad theie. Under the present plan, it is bolioved the railroad will pay interest on the bonds in addition to stimulating the general business of the city and de veloping the resources of this vicinity. No trouble is anticipated in amending the charter. PRISONERS ACQUIRE COW Fresh Milk Is Added to Menu of Men at Kelly Butte.
