Sherman Saloon Broken Into Early This Morning and Robbed. NO CLUE TO THE THIEVES Succeed in Getting Away With Twenty Five Dollars and Prize Watch. Knter Through Hear Window, Break Open Slot Machine and Take Money and n Few Bottles of AVJne. Sometime between tho hours of 4:15 and 5:40 o'clock this morning thieves entered the Sherman saloon in North Bend, broke open tho slot machine, securing between $25.00 and $30.00, also a prize watch from a punching board and a few bottles of claret wine. The fact that tho work was done so cleverly and quickly indicates that it was no amateur. The proprietor of tho saloon, Joo Shlra, closed tho plage at 4:15 and wont home. About 5:40 the day bartender, George Mur phy, came on and on entering found that some one had been busy. The slot machine was broken and Its con tents gone; also the prize watch that is given with a punching board gamo and a few bottles of claret wine. It was evident that tho thelf or thieves, were familiar with the working hours and had to hurry to complete the "work. An open window in tho rear of tho saloon was evidence of the mode by which entrance was effected. There is no cluo to the thieves. STEAMER HAS NARROW ESCAPE NEAR BANDON Prompt Action of the Life Saving Crew Results in Rescue Before Much Dnniago Is Done. BANDON, Dec. 2.

Mr. Walter Lyon, Secty. Chamber of Commerce, Mar3hfleld, Oregon. near Friend Walter: Your esteemed favor of the 9th 'nst. at hand and I am more tha. pleased to find you In the ranks of Oregon's most activo and useful developers. I havo noticed your work through various state paper: and havo been much interested. A good deal of my mall miscarried during the period following my re moval to Eastern Oregon, and it is probable your first letter -fell by the wayside. Your last letter was mailed at Marshfleld Nov. 9, 7 p. m. and reached mo Nov. 14, 2 p. m., about the same time a letter from New York or Washington takes in com ing. The Portland papers Qf Mon day morning reach us on Wednesday afternoon. Thoso facts Indicate what strang ers Oregon people are to each other and how great a nueu mere is for railroad communication across its entire central portion. At present all our Intercourse runs around the edge of tho state and seven-tenths of tho people havo no adequate Idea of the life, the resources, the climate or the possibilities of the Immediate interior or of the great country lying west of tho Coast Range mountains. Hero in this wonderful empire wo aro as far from the toothsome, fresh fish of Coos Bay, as far from its coal fields, and as effectually prohibited from their use as wo are from tho similar products of Cape Cod and Pennsylvania, when as a matter of common fact they ought to be delivered to us for supper every day; and you are as far away from our cattle and sheep herds as tho people of tho New England ttates are, when with i.rop er developments, our fat stock shru'd bo at your chopping block every morning. I h ivo noted tho proposition of the State cf Oregon entering ho rn'l road building enterprise and havo already given it editorial commenda tion as a good Investment for the state. Oregon has been heading in several movements for tho relief of tho common people and other states havo seen the wisdom of her move ments and followed her lead. Why not Oregon take tho initiative In tho building of a central bolt lino of railroad that will forever mako it impossible for any company or com bination of companies to bottle up her Interests and control her devel opment at their own will? A rail road of this character would not only bo one of tho best patronized trunk lines in tho United States, but EqLub EUaiLBEUflU MEDF0RD GETS THE NEW HEADQUARTERS MEDFORD, Dec. 2.

Its local patronage on every mile through Oregon would be sufficient for its maintenance. Do you realize that from the now distant Burns to your city of Marsh fleld on tho beautiful arm of the Pacific known as Coos Bay, is but a 3low railroad rldo of ten hours? You are located in Township 25 south, range 13 west, and Burns is located in Township 23 south, range 31 east, making them 2G4 miles apart east and west and 12 miles north and south. With the deviation necessary from straight lines, the length of a railroad between the two points should bo little over 300 miles, and 30 miles an hour is not rapid traveling. I ought to be able to take breakfast hero and have supper with you tho same day, or vice versa. The present railroad survey of the Htfrrlman people through this country is on the samo lino with Marshfleld and this survey has found a grade ,of eight-tenths per cent, from the east line of this county to tho summit of the Cas cades by Odell Lake, the, easiest grade of any trunk line in the world. How long would the State of Oregon be a loser as owner of such a lino of railroad? I firmly believe it would be a gold mlno from the start, either conducted by tho commonwealth as an independent line, or leased to some railroad cor poration, or sold outright as the case might be. You have no conception of the country such a road would tap. Millions of acres of good land which is now non-productlvo becauso there Is no chance to market its products; timber belts which are now isolated and cannot be used in tho commerce of tho world; mineral and coal de posits that It would not pay to de velop for wagon transportation; beds of borax and soda and common salt that aro inexhaustible; water pow ers that could bo utilized in gen erating electricity and furnishing power for factories in fact, in numerable natural resources lying dormant because it is impossible to bring in tho paraphernalia needed for their development or to take to the outside world their products. You have only to imagine a rail road passing through tho heart of Oregon and terminating on the ocean at coos nay to picture io yourself a largo and prosperous sea port and distributing point, and a stato Interior, unrivaled for beauty and prosperity tho world wide. I hope to live -to see tho picture com pleted and I bollevo your people will support any movement that will inaugurate the desired change. I do not know whether anyone from hero could attend tho proposed congress in January. It Is a hard winter trip and a costly ono from hero, and consumes a lot of time, but we shall bo glad to co-operate with you and there may be some person from hero visiting in west ern Oregon that we could get to at tend. Command mo 'for your service, but I don't think I can get away from hero before spring. Sincerely your friend, (signed) FRANK R. DAVEY.
