A large meeting ot citizens and business meu held last Monday night resolved to outline still another county. A subscription paper was. started and several hundred dollars was at once subscribed. The petition is being circulated throughout the town and this portion of Douglas county, and Is meeting with a good response. At the meeting a committee of sev en Influential business men was ap pointed to form the lines of the pro posed county. Briefly it starts at the Junction of the line of Lane county on the north and Pacific ocean, fol lows this line eastly to tbe line of the Willamette meridian, thence south to a pslnt and west to the east erly line of Coos county, following the lino to th« Pacific ocean and north to the place of beginning. The committee also has decided upon the name, Williams, after Judge Wil liams. who died on the morning of the day the first meeting was held.

The only change In the plans of those who have been promot ing the proposition will be that the line will extend about two blocks farther west at the farthest end of the loop, so as to pass through Mr. Storey s farm. After the announcement by Mr. Storey and Mr Welch a few days ago that they would not build tbe loop for the amount already raised, ■ who had been working on the osittoa lost nearly all hope of getting the line this year, but now it seems a certainty that the loop will be built. It will probably be an easy task to'raise the remaining *2000 necessary. Mr. Storey says that the loop can be completed Inside of two months af ter tbe work is begun, and it Is thought construction will begin In a very short time. MRS.
