The Coos Bay Railroad.


The indications are thst work viii
soon be commenced on the Roseburg G
Coos Bay railroad. Below we give .
special dispatch to the Oregonian of
June 9th:
"Captaih Bosse, who returned from
the north few days ago, where. he haa
been in the interest Of Eastern CAPT
talists, to report upon the project of
building road from Roseburg to Coos
Bay, has completed his report and will
submit it to TIE parties interested on
his arrival in Boston. It is under
stood from private sources that the re-
port is favorable, and that the road will
be commenced as soon as the prellmi-
narles are arranged. A gentleman
who is conversant with the plan of the
projectors says capital has been sub
scribed and nothing remains but to
complete certain transfers. It is ex-
pected that the whele matter will be
settled during the present month, and
that in comparatively short time
work will be commenced in earnest.
Final surveys will be male and tho
road permanently located as aoen as
possible.

FooD Fo. REFLEcrIoN.-During last
winter we chronicled the death by
freezing of a citizen Of this county.
His companion after ward suffered am
pution from the same cause. A ply
sician Of the place, about to be callei
in to assist in discovering the injured
member, in fit of passion from imbib.
ing teo freely at the altar of Bacchus,
struck another citizen across the face
and the injury therefrom made him an
enforced resident at the county poor
farm, and while there accidentally put
his hand against the circular saw in
motion and probably became a county
charge for life. All these events fol-
lowed from two residents of this county
going to party on very cold aight in
a state OF lntoxication. What was the

moral standpo;nt.2 r.

SELF DEFENsE.-Ths question is be-
ing agitated Ia this county whether a
man would be liable under the game
law for killing deer doing damage to
his grain. One farmer living within
sixteen miles Of Roseburg says that
deer come onto his oats every night in
numbers and now it close to the
ground, to such an extent that he,
though aw-abiding citizen, has come
to the conclusion that such case is
not intended to be covered by the law
and proposes to defend his property,
protection or no protection.

Mr.. EDITOR: l have seen an article
in a Rosburg paper recently in regard
to VIM. Bradley's death, and do not
feel particularly grateful to the author
of that false rumor. I started on the
10Th inst, on the strength Of that ru-
NOR, in company with Mr.. Bradley 3
neither and several other persons, and
after riding al night we found Bradley
all right and ourselves victim of the
false and wicked report. It rained
hard on us all night and was hard
trip on Mrs. B., who is an elderly
lady. j think the man who started
such reports should be rode On rail,
and then he would try and tell the
truth next time. Wa G. Upton.
