Pi THE
AT ROSEBU
People There Jubilant Over
Prospect of Railroad
Starting Soon.
Roseburg is feeling jubilant over
the prospects for the early begin
ning of construction on tho Coos
Bay and Oregon Central Railway, tho
flew name of the old Coos Bay, Ore
gon and Idaho project. Concerning
the status of tho road there, the
Roseburg News says:
"At the time the survey for the
proposed Coos Bay, Oregon & Idaho
Railroad was completed to this city
about three months ago, F. A.
Haines, for many years locating en
gineer for the Northwestern rail
road system arrived In town, and af
ter conferences with local capital
ists, secured options on property in
Kinney's Addition to the city of
Roseburg valued at many thousand
dollars. This land is located almost
Jn the center of what Is known as
North Roseburg, and is over a mile
In length. It varies In width, tap
ering from 440 feet at the east end
to 230 feet at the western termina
tion. When the options were secur
ed Mr. Haines explained that it
would be necessary to have the ad
ditional land at tho east end of the
tract to allow the construction of a
round house and other terminal fac
ilities. Like other Interests of the
proposed Coos Bay, Oregon & Idaho
Railroad Company, the options have
T)een transferred to tho new com
pany and are now being held by
them In trust. This incident, alone,
has caused a general good feeling
among the residents In this locality,
many of whom expect to see actual
construction work commenced early
in the spring.
"Upon the completion of the sur
vey to this city the tools, tents and
other parnpheralla used, were stored
on the proposed terminal site, and
are being held awaiting Instructions
of F. A. Haines, who In a recent let
ter to Al Creason, owner of tho
ground, stated that he would arrive
here about April 1. All bills contract
ed by Haines and his surveyors have
been paid promptly, and the general
opinion of local capitalists close In
touch witli the situation. Is that
Haines is backed by tho Northwest
ern Railroad,
"This theory was strengthened
somewhat when It became known
-that Haines received many letters
from the local postolllce bearing the
return of the Northwestern Com
pany, and that the surveyors also
cashed chocks at a country store
near this city bearing the signature
of Northwestern olllclals. Tho op
tions on terminal ground In this city
wero given for a eprlod of about six
mouths, and will expire about July
1.
"Although somewhat skeptical
about talking for publication Al
Creason, a prominent local capital
ist who owns the ground upon which
options wero secured, says that ho
is almost sure the proposed line will
bo built. His Information Is alleged
to hnvo come from a reliable source
and to be authentic In every particular."

R. A. Graham, Builder of Local
Railway, Enthuses Over
Coos Bay's Future.
R. A. Graham, builder of the
Marshfield-Myrtlo Point railway lino
arrived here last evening from San
Francisco to be present at tho trial
of his action against the Southern
Pacific Company, John D. Spreckels'
Brothers Company et al over the ow
nership of tho line. The suits In
volvo about $1,000,000, Graham
charging the Spreckels Brothers com
pany and others with fraud In the
sale of the railway over his head to
tho Southern Pacliic. The cases will
bo tried before Judge Harris at Co
qullle next week.
This is Mr. Graham's first visit
here in years. He came via Rose
burg. Ho is looking well and says
he is feeling line. He Is being warm
ly welcomed by his old friends on the
Bay.
He declared that Coos Bay and its
prospects never looked as good to
him as now. He declared that It is
on tho verge of realizing the great
development he anticipated when he
started the local road.
Ho said that the only reason why
ho was unable to carry out his plans
then for building to Roseburg and
probably eastward from there was
that he was a little ahead of the
times.
However, he declared that at
present ho knew of no place in all
his travels or experiences that he
would rather tie to than to Coos
Bay. Ho declared that it Is bound
to be the coming section and all that
It needs to bring the great develop
ment that has marked tho Puget
Sound country is the same thing that
developed that region railroads.
He intimated that if he was suc
cessful in his suit here that he might
again resume his railroad building
on Coos Bay.
This afternoon, ho and J. W. Ben
nett made a trip to Klttyvlllo to visit
with Eugene O'Connell.
Tom MInot, Mr. Graham's lawyer,
will be here soon.

Tommy Smith who with John ller

ers by Deputy Prosecuting Attorney
Liljonvist to explain whether or not

prohibiting prlsso lighting.

Held. Furthermore, he offered them
the courtesies of tho club by otter
ing complimentary tickets. Ho said
that he explained that by personally
viewing the exhibition, the differ
ences between a prize tight and sci
entific exhibition could be demon
strated. However, ho says, Mr.
Uljenvist explained that owing to the
rush of court business, ho feared
that he would be unable to accept
the invitation, it is not known
whether any members of the grand
jury will be able to come.
It Is stated that the grand jury
alter hearing details of tho boxing
charges decided that they wero not
In violation of the law and will not
make any report on the matter.
T. 1 Crawford, known as 'Gum
boat Kelly," was haled Into tho Pro
secuting Attorney's olllco to explain
about the shooting scrape at rJio
Cold Tea Saloon hero a few months
ago which resulted in Mr. Crawford
having to retire as proprietor of the
place. Tho man whom Crawford
hot at or shot to scare as he says
has disappeared and it is understood
that the matter will be dropped by
the grand Jury.
Tho grand jury also refused to
take any action relative to the "Re
stricted District" in Marshfleld, the
majority of tho mombers expressing
the belief that tho places are a nec
essary evil. F. W. Reeder brought
the matter up before them.

In the Jamestown, New York Dally
Journal and nearly a column Is giv
en over to a copy of the report of
the Oregon State Board of Ho
ture on II. B. Stewart's str
patch at Myrtle Point and which has
been published previously in The
Times. The story of realizing $1000
per acre on strawberries, potatoes,
that yield oOO bushels per acre, oats
123 bushels per acre and barley 145
bushels per acre sounds so big to
the easterners that nothing but an
olllclal report would convince them.
These facts are so well known here
that they exclto no comment, but
new coiners are sometimes surprised

Hall, "but I know the people back
