IS DISCUSSED
TIMES READER SAYS THAT
LOCAL LINE WAS OVER CAPI
TALIZED AND EXPLAINS CON
DITIONS. Editor Times,
In your Issue of the ISth inst.,
tinder the head-lines of "Annual Re
port of Railroad," you publish the
statement filled by the Coos Bay
Roseburg and Eastern railway, and
comment Justly that the statement
is misleading, which It is indeed,
nnd ought not be let go abroad with
out being investigated by the state
railroad commissioners.
And when it is found to have been
made for the purpose to mislead the
public now engaged with the invest
igation of what the cost of a similar
railroad would be per mile between
here and Roseburg, fully and better
equipped for passenger accommoda
tions. And that it is intended to dis
courage the people of Coos, Douglas
and the other adjacent counties
which will be benefited by the rail
road and who are now planning to
take the proposition up to build their
own railroad as are the farmers now
doing in eastern Washington.
Then in that case, the commis
sioners should be asked to have the
Coos Bay-Roseburg & Eastern Rail
road Company file a corrected state
ment which the people of the coun
ties interested, and the many read
ers of the Dally Coos Bay Times
throughout the eastern states, will
find to read as follows, viz.: 31. 3G
miles of main line ana febtfrB ,1)1
operation. The original' cOStJH&BB
000, and accumulated interests, and
robalastlng of the road bed $67t000,
making the total c st how made a
funded debt against the road of
$025,000.
Thus it must be made clear to the
public that If the Coos Bay-Roseburg
& Eastern railroad has suffered the
corporate loss of $23,555.13 on Its
misleading statement of the cost of
the road as being ?2, 900,221. 95,
that when the loss Is to be estimated
on Mr. Harrlman's four-per-cent
"basis of Interests or profits, he has
a net jrofit of $67,445.75, or close
on to 11 per cent interest or profit
on the original cost of the C. 0. R. &
E. R. R.
This statement can bo verjfled by
practical railroad builders now Jiv
ing In Coos Bay and county, who will
give a bond to build for the people
a railroad of such castoff . light
weight rails and equipment as the
Coos Bay-Roseburg & Eastern rail
road is built at the cost of $20,000
per mile, and of modern railroad
construction and equipment $23,000
a mile between heie and Roseburg.
The time has come that the peo
ple will not stand for such mislead
ing statements. The 140,000 people
now living In the district to be bene
fited by a railroad between here and
Roseburg, will come together as did
the farmers of the Walla Walla,
Washington district, and organize
themselves into the Coos Bay-Roseburg,
Boise and Eastern Railroad
Company.
Their labor for grading and fur
nishing ties, is half the capital, thus
if it becomes necessary.' can be bond-
r
ed as does Harriuian, and the rails
n.ifl t.ilMnrr otnlr frti ttwi nm.l Mt.lnnt '
will bo secured, and by leaving Mr.
Harrlman's water out of the capital
stock, the farmers and shippers rail
road will pay a dividend of 25 per
cent on the actual cost of the equip
ment of such n railroad.
S One who believes in Truth.

Choice Dairy, Fiult nnd Timber
Tract, to He Opened to Public.
ROSEBURG, Ore., Nov. 19. On
January 20, 1909, there will be
thrown open for entry at the Rose
burg Land Office 91,950 acres of
dairying, fruit and timber lands,
which will be withdrawn from the
Umpqua forest reserve, and which
are situated in Coos, Western Lane
and Douglas counties. The proposed
railroad from Drain to Marshfleld
runs through a portion of this tract.
The dairying and fruit lands will
be subject to the homestead act, but
the timber lands can only be taken
under the timber and stone act. A
peculiar feature of this opening is
that squatters' rights will be recog-
jnized. After December 31, persons
may settle on the land and prepare
'to make It their home. The rights
of such persons will be recognized as
prior to those who file on January
20. It is expected that there will be
a rush for the choice tracts In this
land when It Is opened.

In choosing a grape fruit see that it
fa heavy in proportion to the size. A
dry fruit is very light.
To polish a looking glass first rub It
with a dustor wrung out of cold water
and dipped In whiting nnd then polish
(With n dry cloth.
If canned fruits are opened an hour
or two before using, the excluded oxy

M Turn out of the Jar at once.
As soon as n salt ham or tongue is
cooked remove it from the boiling wa
ter to u pan of cold water for a few
se-onds. This will loosen the skin,
whl-h may be easily peeled off.
Tt prevent cabbage boiling over
saves time both In stirring the cabbage
down and also In cleanlug the stove
ifrerwnrd. If a piece of lard about
the size of a walnut be dropped into
the cabbage pot It will not boll over.
To clean cnndlesticks. whether of
enameled or plain metal, fill them with
boiling wafer Do not allow the water
to stand any time, but pour It away
and thoroughly dry the candlestick
with a cloth. In this way dirt and
grejw nre removed without doing
damage to the color or substance of
'lie candlestick.
To dry clean lace heat some flour nnd
n this put the lace, covering It entlre

Followed Bottner's New Driver
to Church, Drew Family
Home as For 20 Years.
NEW YORK, Nov. 19. There's
life In old Dobbin yet; pride and
Jealousy fill the blood of the faith
ful roan horse that for twenty years
has drawn Cyrus Bottner and his
family to the Dutch Reformed
church in Clinton, N. J.
Some of the younger Buttners got
ashamed to drive to church behind
shabby old Dobbin, so last week Mr.
Bottner bought a spirited horBe that
ho'ds its head high and has fine
action. When he harnessed the new
horse to the fanllly carryall last Sun
day, Dobbin, furious, kicked splint
ers from the stde3 of Its stall and
tried to break Its halter. But the
Bottners drove away, heedless of
the dumb pretest, which said as
plainly as a horse can say. "Do you,
ungrateful ones, cast off a faithful
old servant for a new one?"
Service had scarcely begun when
the Bottners and other worshippers
jwere disturbed by loud neighing and
prancing at the church entrance.
.Several men went to the door, and
one returning, whispered to Bottner:
I "Your o.d horse has followed
you." i
i Going out, Bottner patted Dob
bin's head, but that did not satisfy
the horse. It ran to the shed back
of the church. Immediately picked
out the family rig and rubbed Its
head against it so pleadingly that
Bottner, was touched. I
I He took the new horse out of the
'shafts and harnessed Dobbin in
them. And, after church, it was
Dobbin that drew the "carryall back
.home, Dobbin revivified, full of gin
ger, frisky as a colt, so happy was
It. And a young Bottner in the back
of the carriage led the new horse.
I Dobbin, by mighty effort, had
broken its halter 'and -pushed open
the barn doors, which for years have
not been locked on It,
