LUMBERMEN WROUGHT COQUILLE GRANTS RAILWAY FRANCHISE UP OVER THE REPORTS Portland, April .5.—Columbia aud Willamette river lumber man- ufactarts aud loggers are consider ably wrought up over the report which has appeared in a number of the newspapers of the I’aci&c coast to the effect that the ljottom has dropped out of the lumber market in the northwest. Promi nent men in the lumber business state there is no reason for loggers to reduce the prices on the present output of logging camps, and that there being 110 surplus, and with the cost of labor and stuinpage advancing, a reduction at this tiiqe is out qf the question. What will happen if the tariff on lumber is greatly reduced is problematical, buttimbermeu maintain that unless the tariff is maintained it will re sult in a reduction of lxitli the cost of stumpage and the cost of labor.

By 260 Votes. Cottage Grove will put into circulation a petition for creation of Nesmith County. The county will be formed of portions of Lane and Douglas— the larger part from Lane. It will tie easy to get names enough for the initiative petition, and the electors of the state will probably grant it. ! The Oregonian will support it, as far as it can— largely be cause it wants to honor the name of Nesmith. The next effort should be like honor for the name ot Williams— when the people want a new county.---Portland Daily Oregonian. The petilious aud other initiative documents required in securing signatures for submitting au initia tive measure before the people for their sufferages at a general elec tion in Oregou will soon lie issued | from the local printiug offices— Leader and Western Oregon— in the matter of the creation of Nes- | mith county from a portion of south Lane and north Douglas counties, by popular vote in 1910, aud the petitions will lie put into circulation for signatures in a few days and will be filed with the Secretary of State along with the other necessary documents in due time. The many Nesmith boosters in south Lane and north Douglas are much gratified with the bright prospects for success, and are greatly elated over the foregoing editorial announcement of last Fri day’s Daily Portland Oregonian which was received with much satisfaction by all of the friends of Nesmith—especially by the 8,000 people within the proposed boun dary lines of the proposed new county of Nesmith. Read the big daily's declaration: “ The Ore gonian w i l l support it, as far as it can .’’ This demonstrates the fact that Oregon's great daily, the peer of any daily newspaper published on the coast and the equal to America’s best, stands for the uplifting of the state, the more rapid upbuilding of its industries and development of its dormant resources, iu fact, for a greater Oregon, regardless of the personal whims and selfish opposi tion of a non-progressive cotrie of small-fry politicians clinging like leaches about the public crib in the old county seat towns of Oregon’s monster old counties, wherein county division is imperative from the standpoint of progress and de velopment, the concentration of effort in bringing about better gov ernment, greater improvements in transportation facilities, more speedy development of dormant re sources in a rapidly growing aud developing new territory remote from the old settled communities —such are the needs and require ments found in the territory com prising proposed Nesmith county, which the 8,000 people'within its proposed boundary would meet by the establishment of a new county and a more ceutral and convenient seat of government. Nesmith county will be a reality and a most worthy and honored pioneer name will thereby lie fittingly perpetu ated. FIGHTING BOB VISITS EXPOSITION GROUNDS PASTOR WILL WHIP SHERIFF Seattle, Wash.

Eugene. That’s a big sign. Monday, April 5, 1909, will lie written down in the archives of Eugene as markiug the hardest fought city contest over election of mayor and council ever waged in the history of the city. The heaviest vote in the city’s history was polled, and totaled 1659. Matlock carried every ward in the city, winning over Bingham by 260 votes. All four of the council- men under him were also elected and the Matlock appointive water commission was endorsed. The race was close on treasurer, Frank Reisner being re elected by a majority of 26 votes. He was the only successful candidate on the Bingham ticket, says the Register. The oi*ly changes in the city administration are the election of R. S. Bryson as clerk, without op position. B. F‘. Dorris not being a candidate, and the election of R B. Henderson, formerly a member of the council, to succeed George Fisher in the second ward. NEW COUNTY UP TO VOTERS. Cottage Grove People Will Make Use of Initiative Petition Salem, l >r.. April 2—(Spec ial)— Advocates of the crea tion of a County of Nesmith have not given up the fight,but will initiate the measure which failed of passage in the last regular sessior of the Legisla ture. This became evident today when A. B. Wood, of Cottage Grove, called on At torney-General Crawford to secure the latter's opinion as to the legalty of ail initiative petition prepared for the pur pose of appealing the Nes mith County matter to the people of the state. T h e A t t o r n e y - l Veneral found the pititiou iu due form, and Mr. Wood returned to Cottage Grove on the noon train, prepared to circulate the petition without delay. It is proposed to create Nes mith County out of portions of Lane and Douglas Coun ties. A BIG SAW MILL FOR BLACK BUT1E W. C.

Mr. Shortridge says a company of Portland capitalists headed by W. B. Dennis of Blackbutte, went up in that vicinity today to look over the ground preparatory to es tablishing a new sawmill of large capacity in that vicinity where Ladd & Tilton of Portland and others have large timber holdings. If this big mill is established in the vicinity of the Blackbutte quicksilver mines there is sure to be an electric or steam railroad built from Cottage Grove up the Coast Fork into that rich mining and timber belt at au early date many rumors of which have been current at different times duriug the past year. There is likely to be some interesting development- in this direction very soon.
