Securing Rights of Way for Di
vision West to Marshfleld.
Bond to Bo Provided.
The construction of a railway from
Coos Bay. across the state of Oregon,
to a connection with an electric line
already in operation In Idaho is the
professed ultimate Intention of the
Coos Bay & Inland Electric Railway
Company, a recently incorporated com
pany, with offices in the McKay build
ing'. With the co-operation of the Rose
burg Commercial Club, this company is
now securing rights of way between
Roseburg and Marshfleld, and at a
meeting of the club held Thursday
night representatives of the company
pledged themselves to provide a bond
'in the sum of 1100,000 to be forfeited
If they do not complete the construc
tion of the road between Roseburg and
Marshfleld -within 24 months after the
survey Is completed and the rights of
way secured.
The officers of the Coos Bay & Inland
Electric are: President, Jacob Haas;
secretary and treasurer, Charles Rlng
ler. Mr. Haas is a former hotel man,
having conducted hostelrles In Spokane.
Seattle and Portland. Mr. Ringler Is
a former traveling man. with some
capital. Associated also with them is
Frederick D. Kuettner, who for some
years prior to August 1, last, was
auditor of the Spokane, Portland &
Seattle Railway and the Astoria & Co
lumbia River Railroad. "
Idaho Bankers Backers.
According to Mr. Kuettner, the prin
cipal backers of the enterprise are
Idaho bankers, now controlling an elec-
' trio railway in that state. Mr. Kuet
tner declined to reveal the Identity of
these men, but said that they had be
come Interested in the Coos Bay en
terprise with the Idea of ultimately
connecting up the two lines. Almost
on a straight line east of Coos Bay. in
Idaho, is an electric lnterurban line,
operating lines between Caldwell and
Boise, a distance of about 30 miles. It
. Is said that an electric line etxended
across Oregon, east and west from
Boise to Coos Bay, would be entirely
feasible.
"Our preliminary surveys show that
we can get through the mountains
from Roseburg to Coos Bay on a grade
not to exceed 1 per cent, and, we be
lieve that further surveys will show
'.the possibility of. constructing an elec-
trio railroad on still better grades,"
said Mr. Kuettner, yesterday.
"We expect to begin construction on
the railroad west from Roseburg next
Spring and aa there will be little or no
tunneling the entire road to Marshfleld
can be completed within two years.
Power Sites Located.
"We have Investigated conditions
thoroughly In that country and believe
that it offers an excellent opportunity
for an electric railroad. We have lo
cated two water-power sites with suf
ficient fall and volume of water to fur
nish current for the entire road. The
locating of these sites was our first
step. One is on a fork of the Coqullle
River and the other, which is' the
larger. Is on the Umpqua.
"Aside from the water power wo
have located, power can be produced
cheaply In that country. The lumber
mills are dallying burning as refuse
slabs and poop grades of lumber for
which there Is no market. The mills
do not have an opportunity to sell their
slabs for wood as they do In Portland,
and enough lumber goes to waste to
supply fuel for electric railway power
plants.
"The field Is untouched by railroads,
yet there Is an abundance of tonnage
to be obtained. The lumber Industry
will furnish a large quantity of freight
and valuable coal mines are being de
veloped along the route. The railway
will traverse three valleys, each ,of
which is prosperous. That entire dis
trict Is rapidly forging to the front
with dairy products. It Is also rich in
mineral deposits. Representatives of
our road have reecntly discovered
graphite In paying quantities.
District Is Developing.
"The wealth of the district is Indicated
by the fact that it has been rapidly build
ing up in population and Improvements
In spite of its Isolation from railroads.
As to passenger traffic, we believe the
railroad will be well patronized from the
start. The last time the circus was here
1700 people came out of that territory to
see it.
"The road from Roseburg to Marshfleld
will be about 90 miles long and can be
built for about $30,000 a mile. We are co
operating with the Commercial Club of
Roseburg for the reason that rights of
way can be obtained better In that way.
If a railroad operates independentlythere
are generally some persons who try to
hold It up on the price on strips of land
that are really of little value.
"The company Is an Independent one,
not being aligned with any transconti
nental railroad. There are some Idaho
bankers who are associated with the
company, but who do not wish their
Identity known at this time. They al
ready have electric railway Interests in
Idaho and plan to connect up the two
lines.
"There are several feasible passes
through which a railway can be built
from Roseburg west."
AUSTRALIA WANTS GINGER
Lord Kitchener Will Show Colony
How to Organize Militia.
MELBOURNE, Sept. 25. (Special.)
Lord Kitchener is coming probably early
next year. Australia wants a new Im
pulse, an authoritative critic, a great
reputation, and a vigorously reforming
energy to put life into her militia. Lord
Kitchener seems Just the man for the
task. He will have a great welcome
and a -great task. The visit of the
United States fleet aroused the Austra
lians to some sense of what .modern sea
power really Is. They will be fortunate
If Lord Kitchener Impresses them with
what their land defense ought to be.
Nothing could be more timely than his
presence. Australians promise to be a
fighting race, but they need leaders, they
need equipment, and they need knowl
edge of their own etrength and prepared
ness for action.

Manuel Halleck Flies Affidavits Ac
cusing' Woman of Slaying Little
Ones by Carelessness in Plac
ing Acid In Their Reach,
t
Accusing Cora D. Hallack, whom he i9
suing for divorce, with carelessness caus
ing the death of two of their children,
Manuel Hallack, a carpenter, filed an
affidavit in the Circuit Court yesterday
in answer to her demand for attorney's
fees and temporary alimony.
Hallack's charges against his wife were
partially supported by an affidavit, filed
by Mrs. L. Baldwin, a nurse employed
by him to care for his remaining child.
On the grounds of cruelty and In
fidelity, Hallack aued Cora Hallack for
divorce September 10, and later he pro
cured a restraining order to keep her
from trying to take by force their-remaining
child from the nurse in whoso
care he had placed her. This was fol
lowed by an application on the part of
his wife for the custody of the child and
the payment to her by her husband of
necessary funds. In this appeal she de
clared her husband was an unfit person
to care for the child, and that ehe pos
sesses evidence to prove that she. and
not her husband, was entitled to, the
decree of divorce. She made no epecifla
charges against her husband.
In his affidavit filed yesterday, Hallack
complains that on March 26, of this year,
his wife wilfully placed their i-year-old
boy, Chester, on a high chair where he
could reach "a can of concentrated Jye,
which he ate, causing his death.

Violet, drank the poison, he alleges, and
died soon afterward from its efTecta.
.After relating these incidents, Hallack
asserts "that all of said acts were done
by gross negligence of said defendant;
that the defendant ropeatedly toldtha
plaintiff, both before the death of said
child. Violet, and after, as follows: 'I
will not raise children for you.' "
The Hallacks were married at Dallas.
Or., November U, 1903. Hallack states
that his wife is employed in a local
restaurant and Is able to provide for her
self, while he Is without work and is
compelled to borrow money from hi
brother to carry on his suit for divorce.
