Drain. Or . April 9,—The apathy
manifested by the Eugene and Rose
burg committees appointed some time,
ago to oppose the absorption of a
portion of Douglas county within tbe |
lines of tbe proposed Nesmith county I
creat ion, and tbe fact that tbe people I
of Florence, Lane ounty, also de
sire to absorb the western portion of
Douglas county Into a new county to I
be known as Umpqua county, has
aroused the people of Drain into an
attitude of defense on their own ac-
count. 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.
It Is Intended to make Drain the
county seat If the county is authoriz
ed by a vote of the people In Novem-
I ber.

Such was a
the
announcement
made today by J. O. Storey, president
of the Portland. Eugene & Eastern
Railway Co., who has been In the
city for Bhe past several days look
ing Into the feasibility of building
the loop. 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.
