The petitions were circulated and all the signatures were obtained within five days. "Since the people have adopted a constitutional provision," said Hourne, today, "permitting eight per cent of the voters to propose a run, has been In the city the last few days, and was asked this afternoon by ,,aw (mde. thj ntllltiVe and to de tnand the referendum upon a mea sure by petition of five per cent of the voters, I feel that this petition of 12 per cent of the voters of Oregon Is a call to which I ought to re spond." The senator promised to make a more extended statement regarding nis candidacy and the platform on wnlch he would stand early next week. Senator Bourne's entering the fight for re-election was made after eliminated the Courier for some of the reasons why this city would profit In the building of the road.

"There Is enough standing tim ber in and tributary to the Rogue liver valley to keep a railroad to the roast busy for generations to come," was the way W. n. Sherman, the timber expert, sized up the situa tion when talking of the proposed line from Giants Pass to the sea yes terday. "There are SI billion feet of mer chantable timber, consisting of su gar pine, yellow pine and fir within this district that will find water out ing 'JO million feet or over. Thous ands of men are engaged cutting and shipping the rough lumber to Cali fornia, It Is shipped rough because the climate of the coast counties dues not permit of proper seasoning for manufacture. It does not appear to be known to our citizens that mil lions of feet of this raw material are hauled Into the interior of California to season away from the coast and tnat around these points arise the factories that make the prosperous cities while the factories of Grants Pass, within 30 or 40 miles of the original supply of this material, li.
