Progress of Work on
Smith-Powers Road
A. S. Riggs, superintendent for
Willett & Burr, was on the Bay last
week to meet Mrs. Riggs who was
arriving from San Francisco on the
Redondo, and he gave the Record
this information: The work at
Myrtle Point is going along finely
now, and they have a big force
along the route. Today, 60 mules
are leaviug Roseburg for the work
of grading along the railroad, and
they will likely reach Mvrtle Point
some time tomorrow. Additional
men were expected in today on the
Redondo. The steel on the railroad
is laid for a distance of three miles
out of Myrtle Point, to the approach
of bridge No. 2. The concrete pier
ior this bridge is now being put in
and the timbering and crossing will
be made very shortly. The pile
driver which is making the bridge
approaches, is now driving the pil
ing for the fifth bridge, about six
miles south of Mvrtle Point. On
the south fork of the Coquille, there
are eight crossings of the river, and
seven bridges on additional tribu
taries. The span for bridge No. 2
is rsn feet and timbers are being
hewn and hurried to the front as
fast as possible. Men, working for
the Smith-Powers people, are strung
along the line southward for the
entire distance, hewing timbers and
preparing the crossings for the
bridges.
The clearing is going
along well and the men are busy on
every stretch of the right of way.

A Noble Work
Game Law Changes
A lady representing the Pacific
Coast Rescue and Protective Society,
which maintains the Louise Home
for Unfortunate Girls nnd the Al
bertina Kerr Nursery for the Babies
of Abandoned Mothers, both Port
land institution«, was in the city last
week, raising funds for the support
of those institutions.
The first
named is, as the name implies, an
organization for the rescue aud pro
tection of girls who have started on
the downward road but who only
need a helping hand, extended with
sympathy and understanding, to re
deem themselveB and lead upright
lives. The Herald is informed that
the results attained in nearly every
case handled by the Society are
most gratifying.
The home for infants is also doing
a noble work, and is taking tbs
little tots who would be practically
doomed to lives in the underworld
and giving them a chance to grow
up into good and useful citizens.
The work is supported by public
contributions. Nothing more worthy
is before the public, and every dol
lar put into it by the people of
Oregon is a good investment.
After interviewing Game Warden
Baker, the Westarn World gives
the following points regarding the
new game laws:
It is unlawful to fish from the
jetty or rocks of the ocean within
the 3 mile limit without a license;
also boys over 14 years of age are
required to have a license.
After June 1st all women who
wish to fish or hunt must secure a
license.
Another important item tn the
new game laws is a liability act,
which makes the state of Oregon
liable for damage done by protected
game. If deer are damaging your
crops the first step to be taken is to
notify the game warden, and if he
does not respond within a certain
stipulated period, you are at libertay
to shoot said deer.
Anothe good feature of the new
law makes the owner responsible
or the acts of his dog — for in
stance, if a dog escapes and chases
deer and the fact can be proven,
whether the owner is aware of
the fact or not, the owner is
subject to a stiff fine. On the sec
ond offence the dogs may be shot.

Survey of Coast Line

(Del Norte Triplicate)
The meeting of the two survey
ing crews south of Crescent City,
Tuesday afternoon, marks the cotn-
ple ion of the preliminary survey of
the Southern Pacific’s coast line
from Portland to San Francisco.
The crew that has been working
out of Crescent City under R. J.
Weir packed up their outfit and
took passage on the Del Norte for
San Francisco, Tuesday evening,
where they were ordered to report
for work on another project. Mr.
Weir will go via Eureka to inspect
and look over the work ou that
section and will sail from there to
San Francisco.
The crew working up from
Eureka will finish up the work this
week and leave for San Francisco
later.
Definite news is lacking as to
when the work of construction will
begin here, but the graders are
active on the gap south of Eureka,
and it is expected that trains will
be running iuto the Humboldt

and that it wilt not be much later
when they reach Crescent City.
