about to come into her own. .Her own
In this case is the prosperity to which
ah is so richly entitled due to the
vast natural resource in her hinter
lands Active construction nn the.
burg & Eastern, a standard gauge rail
road, that will tap a rich timber belt,
is expected to start soon. 8. A. Ken
dall, president of the Kendall Lumber
company, of ' Pittsburg, Pav is here,
and is actively engaged in the prepara
tory steps toward the- building of the
railroad arid the construction, of what
is expected to be one Of tbe largest
sawmills on the coast.
In a talk' I had with Mr. Kendall
yeaicruay, ne saia: "i Decame inter
ested In Douglas county .seven years
ago. My brother, J. L. Kendail, and
myself own 14,000 acres of timber land
tributary to Roseburg. There is ap
proximately 1,000,000,000 feet of stand
ing timber on this tract. There ia also'
abundant water power, which we can "
later make us of should we care to
electrify our road. . This district baa
always appealed to me.
"You may remember I owned the
water and light plant here some years
ago. I sold It to the Welch Interests,
as I wanted to devote all my attention
to my timber holdings. The road we
are to build will cost equipped about
31,000,000, and will be. a common cur
rier. It will be 34 miles Ions and will
tap a .body of fine timber in addition
to our own holdings. While primarily
It is built to get the timber out. it
will secure a considerable revenue
from the handling of freight and pas-
Bond Issue' Zs Authorised.
"Roseburg has voted 1JOO.000 bonds
for the proposed road. A friendly suit
will be brought to establish the valid
ity of the action of tho city council
of Roseburg. If the city attorney of
Roseburg can get the supreme court
to pass upon the question before their
adjournment for their summer vaca
tion, we will be able to start work by
August 1. - '-' "'
When the railroad, the logging
camps and the mill are 'in operation,
about 1000 men will be employed, and
the daily'-.' payroll':-will be som where
between $1500 and S2000. That means
that at least $500,000 a year will be
put Into" circulation in Roseburg and
vicinity through the payroll alone.
"We will build a double band mill.
By that I mean that the saws cut the
log both coming and goinp.
Our plans call for a mill in Rose
burg 880 feet long and 100 feet vide.
The annex will be 226 by 800 feet. In
addition to this, we will have exten
sive lumber sheds, side tracks, loading
spurs and mill pond. We must have
a mill pond lartre enough to care for
3,000,000 feet of logs, and the lumber
yard must be able toare for 30.000,000
feet of lumber. Wt wilt saw from
250,000 to 300,000 feet of lumber a day.
The mill will be electrically Criven,- the
power being produced by steam from
the sawdust and waste of tbe mill.
We will manufacture smaller by-products
from what would otherw.se be
waste lumber." , ;
