According TepnTts In circulation

in tho Coos Bay mtlroad sltuttlon
are to mnrk a meeting of the ofllcln's
iXS the Pacific Const Lino nnd tho
Great Western Paelfle to bo be' I In

what is to tnke place thoro Is a mat

Vice-president Sumner when Iito
the tlrst of the week said ho hnd to
be back In Portland by tho 1att3r
part of the week on matters connect
ed with the road hut ho did not Inti
mate whnt they were.
One guess Is that the meeting I",
about starting construction work und .
the construction of n large wharf tn
property on the Bny, near the ninth,
of North Inlet, thnt Right of Way
Agent Eddy Is said to have secured,
whero construction equipment and
supplies are to be unloaded.
The fact that the meeting Is to bei
held In Portland about tho time that
officials of the Hill line are to bo
there, theyhaving come west osten
sibly to attend the big doings nt
Bend marking the completion of the
Oregon Trunk line to that point,
has also revived the suspicion that
Hill maybe behind the project, .las.
J. Hill was personally at Bend.

ROSEBURG IN

Tiouble With Shopmen Blamed
For Wreck of Freight
Officials at Work.
ROSEBURG, Ore., OcL 0. Obser
vation of conditions In the local
Southern Pacific railroad yards tend
to Indicate that the striking shopmen
have the best of tho situation, nnd
that tho officials of tho company will
bo practically powerless to operato
their trains tn the ovent tho contro
versy continues for any length of
time.
Troublo commenced when n mes
sage was received to the effect that
northbound freight train So. 222 had'
been wrecked nt n point about two
miles north of Gleudale, and that ntf
slstnncu was needed immediately.
Owing to the fact that tho shopmen
were on Btrlke, Superintendent L. R.
Fields nnd Assistant Superintendent
Martyu of Portland, and Foreman
Frank Cavendnr of Roseburg, were
called nnd left for tho scene shortly
before three o'clock. With them they
took the wrecker, which Is usually In
command of no less than fifteen of
tho more experienced shopmen. The
men arrived at the scene of tho trou
blo at' four o'clock, and six hours
Inter succeeded In restoring traffic.
According to Mr. Mnrtyn, who return
ed hero nt noon five freight cars were
derailed. In ono of the cnrB wero
20 head of hordes and mules con
signed to Portland. Ten of tho nnl-
mnls were killed outright, while sev
eral others were moro or less Injur
ed. .
Division Superintendent L. R.
Fields and Assistant Superintendent
C. W. Mnrtyn continue to direct th'o
coupling nnd uncoupling of cars In
this cltj, even doing the work with
their own hnnds to fncllltato ( tho
transit of passenger trains. Travel
lug Engineer Richard Morris Is also
assisting In thnt work.' The trainmen
absolutely refutso to perform this ser
vice. J. L. Grimes of this city, and
Harry Wooster of Yoncalln, havo
been deputized for police duty In the
ynrds, but there Is no disposition on
part of the strikers to create any
disturbance. They feol supremely
confident of victory and rely on tho
accumulation of unserviceable equip
ment to bring It about. Tho short
ago of serviceable locomotives was
evidenced upon the arrival of tho
Shasta Limited from the south, In
stead of the customary change of en
gines here, the same engine that drew
the train from Ashland was sent on
to Portland with the train.
