There are only a few buildings on the grounds that are completed and there are no flowers planted at all. Work still goes on, and when completed, If It over is, it will certainly be grand, as it is a lovely location for the fair grounds. The Insido Inn is the bumme&t place on earth and I would advise any one going there to stop at Norfolk, Va., and beware of the Inside Inn. Yours truly. Lilly Way.

SUPPORTS LINE Tl Umpqua Valley News of Roscburg Says People Are In Hearty Favor of Road STOCKHOLDERS READY Waiting to ExchuiiKC Cash for Slock When Plans Materialize Liberal Franchise. Teh following article Is taken from the Roscburg "Umpqua Valley News" and It Is said voices ca'-?y the sen timents of the peoplo of that city and vicinity: "For several days tho News had but little to say relative to the elec tric railroad, simply because there was nothing authentic, consequently Inothing that we could print that would be of value to the public. "While the people of all Douglas county have been and are very anx ious to see active work begun on the Douglas & Coos Electric Railway, yet every such one understands that It takes time to accomplish the good things of life, and that such an un dertaking as this railway cannot be arranged for in a week. "However, after ten days of silence tho News is able to give its readers the very latest information regarding the work, and It is very encouraging. President Simpson, of North Bend, has sent word to the five Incorpor ators of the Douglas & Coos Electric Railway Co. that a meeting will be held at Marshfield on Wednesday, June 12, 1907, for the purpose of furthering the interests of tho com pany, which Is understood to mean that the matter of city franchises for tho Bay cities will be taken up, and that these important features will be applied for without delay. "When the Roseburg committee met the committees of the Bay -towns in Marshfield a few days ago, the matter of these franchises came up for discussion, and It was mado plain then that tho Electric Railway Co. must have franchises and terminal facilities in and about Coos Bay, be cause the public, upon whom wo must depend for finances to build this sys tem, would not put a dollar into tho work unless these concessions wero granted. "While asking these privileges for the Douglas & Coos Electric Railway Co., it was furthr Impressed upon the minds of all the representatives pres-' ent that no exclusive franchises were wanted or asked, and It was mado plain that any and all railways which subsequently might come to Coos Bay should have tho option of use to the tracks and terminals of the Electric Railway at the least possible cost. "This was all practically agreed to, and In the call of the president of tho company for the meeting to bo held next Wednesday It Is confidently ex pected that .the business will receive a new Impetus and such measures be taken as will secure the franchises desired. "The work of drafting tho terms of the franchises to bo asked for will doubtless be undertaken at this meet ing, and as this Is a most Important business, will take some time to get the matter In hand. At least the work of going over the ground will devolve upon Incorporators, though the legal construction will of neces sity be left to attorneys. "Even If tho Coos Bay Terminal Co. shall havo forstalled this require ment and havo a franchise to present for the ratification of tho Douglas & Coos Electric Railway Co., the matter will require deliberate consideration, "Tho News has never had any mis givings as to tho final result in tho matter of these franchises so neces sary. Tho business ability of the In corporators is too well known to per mit of any miscarriage of this part of the work. Every man of them has tho wolfaro of the two counties at heart, and Is personally and deeply Interested In (building up the re sources of nil Southern Oregon, par ticularly Douglas and Coos counties. "Tho people of tho two counties aro giving moral and financial sup port to tho enterprise. Tho Bay cities hnvo more to gain by this road being completed than has Rosoburg, and tho public thoro aro anxious to seo tho work accomplished, and un der all theso favorablo conditions thoro can bo no such thing as failure. Tho city councils of tho Bay towns could ill afford to do aught but grant so popular a demand. "The Nowa has always said that a franchise was a great faver to ask of any people, and If this wero anything but a right of franchise from the peo plo for the peoplo, this paper would advocato treat caution, because wo believe theso rights belong to the public and aro not to bo thrown reck lessly about. As tho matter stands wo urge tho granting of tho fran chises for tho now road just ns soon as practicable, In order that work can be undertaken Immediately. "Tho reports from the Incorpor ators' meeting will bo awaited by the public with respectful Impatience. Tho several hundred subscribers to tho building funds of this road will bo delighted to exchange their cash for stock certificates In order to get this matter down to a working basis. "Following the application and granting of franchises for terminal facilities in Marshfield and other Bay towns, Roseburg will deal In a most liberal way with tho Electric Railway Co. It Is tacitly understood here that anything that this electric road wants In this city, It can have. Tho peoplo of Douglas county aro in dead earnest over tho matter, and Rose berg sees her own bright future blending with that of Marshfield In tho completion of this railway pro ject. "Let's havo those Bay city fran chises at once and then dirt will be gin to fly." PUNSSli COAST FSRFViS Twenty Healers Are Vlnt'd $25 On Indictment Cluu'Klng Tliein With "FKIiik" Prices.
