BIG TRUST DEED FILED By Southern Pacific Peo ple at Roseburg. In volves Timber Roseburg, Aug. 12th.—Addi tional evidence tending to indicate that the Southern Pacific is sincere in its announcement made relative to the immediate construction of a line from Fugeue to Marshfield materialized today when the Weud- ling-Johnson Lumber Company filed a trust deed with the clerk of Douglas county securing a bond is sue in the sum of $1,300,0»*0. The deed is executed in favor of the Michigan Trust Company, with headquarters at Grand Hapids, Michigan, and involves several thousand acres of timber lands in Douglas and Lane counties. In this connection it might be said that most of the timber lands in volved are along the line of the contemplated Marsh field extension from Eugene, and with the road completed will be subject to easy transportation. Knowing that Mr. Wendling has been closely identified with the Southern Pacific interests for years, it is assumed that construction of the contemplated line has been of general knowledge to the "heads” oí the two corporations for at least eighteen nwjnths. This assertion is substantiated in the fact that most of the valuable timber along the proposed line has fallen into the bauds of Mr. Wendling and his agents during the past few months and is now to be held in trust by the Michigau Trust Com pany, a firm which is practically unknown in the Northwest. It is the belief of local capitalists (hat the lands involved will eventually become an asset of the Southern Pacific Company and that the said company will finance the contem plated bond issue. Originally the timber lands in volved in the trust deed were se cured by Jessie Bounds, but pecu liarly, the deeds were executed in favor of another party. Time went on, and finally Mr. Wendling became interested in the construc tion of a railroad to the coast with the result that his company, the Wendling-Johnson Lumber Com pany, secured title to the lands. Later Mr. Wendling filed articles of incorporation with the secretary of state, in which he gave indirect assurance that a road would soon be built from Eugene to Marshfield. Failing Vn succeed in this venture, either through lack of funds, or in order to spar for time, Mr. Wend ling remained in the dark until the recent announcement of Mr. O’ Brien to the effect that the Sou thern Pacific company intended to build the extension at once. With the trust deed filed closely following the announcement, it is assumed in Roseburg that the Sou thern Pacific Company is playing the “ dark horse” and that they will come into possession of the lands involved. As above stated the timber in question is among the best in the state and is so sit uated as to attract special attention from a railroad company contem plating the construction of a line through the Siuslaw districts and to the coast. The mist deed consists of about 50 close typewritten pages, while the filing fee will total something over $25.

Root, an old time news paper man and well known in all the mining camps of Oregon, Ida ho, California, Nevada and Ari zona, is in the city. He has lately been in the several mining districts of Southern Ore gon, and asserts the renewal of ac tivity in mining, even from Salem to the boundary line of Oregon and California, is most gratifying and of great importance. Many prop ositions heretofore looked upon as mere prospects are on the verge of being transformed into mines by the placing upon them of various kinds of improvements, iucludiug improved methods of the reduction of ores. The camps or districts coming to the front at the present time are those out from Cottage Grove, Glendale, Medford, Grants Pass, Galice Creek and Kerby, and also Gold Hill Mr. Root has been gathering data at all these points and from the several mining companies with headquarters here at Salem, for publication in the Mining and Matellurgical Journal of San Fran cisco, a high grade mining paper edited by R. Stuart Browne, a well known metallurgical mining en gineer, Mr. Root further states the good reports of the mining in terests of Southern Oregon are be- iug spread broadcast at all mining centers.—Statesman.
