Report of Grand Jury.
To the Honorable L. T. Harris,
Judge of the circuit court :
We, the Grand Jury of the Au
gust, 1908, term of the above en
titled Court respectfully submit this
our final report as follows:
We have examined into all crimes
coming to our knowledge commit
ted and triable within Lincoln
county. In consequence of un
avoidable delay in procuring the at
tendance of some witnesses and in
ability to secure the attendance of
other witnesses we were unable to
make a sufficient investigation of
the charge against Laura Bales who
was bound over from Five Rivers
Justice Court and for that reason
could not intelligently act thereon,
and we would ask that the investi
gation of said charge be continued
and that the same b3 lefered to the
next grand jury of this Court.
We have examined the offices of
the various County Officials and
find the same and the records of all
said offices neatly kept and in good
form.
Owing to its location the room
used by the present Grand Jury is
unfit for grand jury work. It is to
small, cannot be ventilated except
by opening windows just at the
front door of the Court H iuse, and
we are convinced that the procced-
! ings of the grand jury are heard
through the walls. We recom
1 mend that the room on the second
; floor of the Court House in the
! north, west corner be fitted up and
' used for a grand jury room, and the
small room just to the south of it
be used as an entrance way and
ante room to the grand jury room.
We would urge upon the County
Court the necessity of the county
providing at once a county jail, and
would recommend the erection of a
jail with one or more steel cages on
the court house grounds.
We would further recommend
that a sutiable desk be provided for
the Assessor's Room.
Having completed our labors we
ask to be discharged.
Dated at 1 oledo in said county
this 20th day of August 1908.

Coast Road Again.
When Edward II. Harriman con
fers with Julius Kruttschnitt in
Klamath this week the new road
into Central Oregon will not be the
only thing discussed, according to
the Portland Journal. Kruttsch
nitt returned yesterday morning
from a trip to Tillamook, having
thoroughly gone over the resources
of that territory. His idea is said
to be a coast line for the Southern
Pacific from San Francisco to Portr
land. That this line is again talked
of by Harriman there is no doubt.
It was Kruttschnitt who conceived
planned and executed the coast line
from Los Angles to San Francisco,
which runs along the shore nearly
the entire distance between the two
California cities, in many places the
roadbed being actually constructed
on the beach, within a few rods of
the sea. Sinco the completion of
this line the director of mainten
ance of the Harriman system has
been busily at work scheming a
similar line north from San Fran
cisco to Portland.
Some of the advantages of the
line over the present one are thes'e:
It would be a cheaper line to
build and to operate, having fewer
mountains and less steep grades.
It would save time between San
Francisco and Portland.
It would tap a country much
more profitable to the railroad than
the present line, because where now
there are long stretches that pay no
revenue to the railroads, practically
every foot of the coast country
would give traffic to the line. The
forests in the coast counties are the
most valuable in the west and in
addition the hind is immensely
valuable for agriculture and dairy
ing.
At present there is a line in ex
istence from San Francisco bay to
Willetts, in Mendocino county,
known as the California Northwest
ern and controlled by the Santa Fe
and the Southern Pacific. It is
generally recognized, however, that
the road is controlled by Harriman
and that he is planning to extend
it to Eureka as fast as possible. It
is surveyed to run through an enor
mously, rich country including
Humlxilt and Del Norte counties
in Northern California which are
among the richest in the west.
The sugar pine and redwood forests
of Humbolt county are famous the
world over and yet the only way
lumber can be shipped at present is
by water from Eureka.
A survey is said to have been
made north from Eureka through
Del Norte county to a point very
near the Oregon-California Ixmnd
ary line. That Kruttschnitt hopes
to sec this line constructed not only
into Del Norte county, but north
ward through vastly rich but un
developed Curry county, in Oregon,
along the coast to Coos bay and
then to Tillamook, traversing Curry
Coos, Lane, Lincoln and Tillamook
counties, which are all heavily tim
ljcred, there is no doubt.
During the trip into Tillamook
county with E. E. Lytic, who is
constructing a railroad west from
llillsboro to Tillamook, Mr. Krutt
schnitt devoted much of his time to
finding out all he could of the re
sources and wealth of the coast
counties. That he was more than
satisfied with the showing made
there can lw no doubt from the re
ports of the trip brought by Mr.
Lytic and W. W. Cotton. And as
a mere matter of self-protection it
may be that Harriman will agree
to let Kruttschnitt go ahead with
his scheme for paralleling the
Southern Pacific with a coast line
from San Francisco to Portland.

Roswell B. Lamson and Charles
W. Sherman accompanied by their
wives left for Portland Tuesday
after spending a week here. They

government for Forest Officer Dur
bin arrived Monday having been
brought up from the Siuslaw by

up was made in four hours and is

eighteen foot boat. The Sea Gull,
