ROSCDURG, Ore, Jnn. 30. Tho

'Surveyors, poBlng ns geological en

lame effect Is tho purchase of 1,000,
000 ties, to bo delivered at Salmon
City.
Tho Ollmoro & Pittsburg Is an un
dertaking thnt up to this time has
been a subject of moro or loss specu

dependent or has behind It some es

not seoin to bo wnrranted, owing to
developments suggesting that Its

had had differences with n flnnnclnl

its obligations wero being settled.
There still remains an element of
uncertainty rolntlvo to tho cntor

In nil probability this cast nnd west

i nma Canal, tho principal obstruction
I nt this time, it Is claimed, being tho
misguided rapacity of tho owners of
Coos Day terminal grounds. Thoro
seems to bo no desire on tho part
of Coos Day property holders to on
rourngo tho building of n railroad,
although tho Coos country needs
transportation moro than anything
l else. However, with tho natural ad
vantages offered, oven tho selfish
ness of its citizens will not prevent
the establishment of terminals, and

Is n fat rake-off for tho S. P., and
also release tho Portland Jobbers'
hold on this territory nnd permit
the establishment of Jobbing houses
in Itoseburg. It will not only bp a
benefit to Roseburg, but to all South

from San Francisco to Roseburg and
$5 from Portland to Roseburg, com
pared with J5.20 from San Francis

in Roseburg without charging the
freight from San Francisco to Port
land plus tho local rate from Port
land to Roseburg, as is now the case
on such shipments. Our fruit grow
ers can deliver fruit to terminals at
Coos Day for water transportation
to Now York city and other Eastern
points with less than a 100-mllohaul
by rail, and this short haul will not
permit very high charges being made

Editor Times:
I nm glad to see there is a move
ment on foot to build n canning
plant In Coos county; this Is sub
stantial advancement In tho devel
opment oi our ngricuiturcd re
sources. I want to sny right hero
that ono of tho greatest drawbacks to
Coos county Is Its backwardness on
tho production of soil products nnd
ns n consequence tho people hero nro
oatlng thomsolves poor by Importing
food stuffs that should bo grown nt
home. Our financial conditions will
nlways bo characterized by smnll
balances until this order of things
Is changed by producing tho greater
pnrt of our ngrlcultural products.
Thero nro necessarily somo articles
of food which wo will nlways havo
to Import for tho reason that our
cllmnto Is not sultnblo for tho growth
but theso can bo offset by tho surplus
productions of articles that grow
hero abundantly nnd can be prepar
ed for exportation nt n profit to tho
producor. Tho richness of our soil
nnd generous rainfall nssuro largo
returns in tho cultivation of veget
able products thnt find congcnlnl
conditions hero for growth.
Let us use our soil nnd climate to
produco theso things for which they
nro most fitted nnd grow thorn in
lnrgo qunntltlcs nnd what wo do not
need, prepare- for exportation. In
tho shape of canned goods wo should
uo nuio to mnnurnciuro tiicso nr
tides with tho same success na other
places. Tho best results aro obtain
ed by cooporatlon, nnd tho said pro
ducers In Coos county will find It to
their advantages to tuko hold of tho
ontorprlso of canning on a broad
business basis. Tho Temples of
