here. Naturally, The Register's
publication of the Corvallis etory,
which was later confirmed by the

a tendency to make some of the Eu
gene subscribers to stock in the
Siuslaw undertaking, wonder if all
the local effort had been in vain. It
is Mr. Carver's assurance that he
will be here Tuesday to complete
arrangements to begin active rail
road building that makes the Sius
