MORE RAILROAD TALK.
W. Il. Pierce ArOuses Interest of
ROseburg Citizens BY Investi-
cations.

Roseburg. investigation
to determine whether there is suffi-
cient probable traffic to justify the
building of a railroad, either steam
or electric, from Roseburg to the
coast. was begun here Monday by
W. E. Pierce of Boise, Idaho. Mr..
Pierce arrived here Sunday evening,
accompanied by his chief engineer,
James Stephenson, Jr.
I'VE are here to investigate the
conditions thoroughly" said Mr..
Pierce to a Review representative.
we have already had some reports
from this, section and some also from
MaTshfield, and they seemed so fa-
vorable as to warrant further inves-
tigatiOn. | am pleased to find Rose
burg a more substantial town than
had expected to see here, and am
favorably impressed with what
have so far seen. With Mr.. Stephen
son, our chief engineer we shall
make a thorough investigation of
routes, grades, difficulties of con-
struction to be encountered and es-
pecially as to cost of maintenance
and operation of road when built.
will also be looked after. From
these and from the detailed report
which will be made later by Mr..
Stephenson we shall know definitely
whether the conditions will justify
the necessary investment for build
ing a railroad.
Mr.. Pierce also intimated that the
probable cost of this investigation
will be between 81 900 and $4,000,
so it will be seen that they expect to
go over the ground thoroughly, and
take whatever time may be necessary
to complete the investigation. Upon
their findings will depend entirely
whether they go ahead or not. Mr..
Pierce, as is already known here, has
built railroads in Idaho, and besides
being a man of large capital himself,
has heavy financial connections in
the east. He gives assurance that
the financial end of the transaction
will be readily cared for if the con-
ditions here are found favorable.

STENCIL Is UNBEATABLE.
Grants Pass Physicians Protest
Against Conditions at Sewer Outlet

Grants Pass.-Conditions along
the river front have become so Of
fensive that those residents who re-
side within smelling distance will be
required to take drastic measures as
a matter of self-protection if the au-
thorities do not come to their assist
ance at once. The thousands of
dead and decaying salmon that line
the banks, and tnat pile upon the old
dam, have created a stencil that is
unbearable, while sewage emptied
from the Fifth and Seventh street
sewers adds to the smell and men
aces health in all parts of the city.
Drs. Loughbridge and Truax have
reported, at the request of commit
tee of citizens, as follows upon the
situation:
I'VE find that hundreds of dead
salmon, floating down the river, are
caught in the bushes and drift along
the river banks, or lodge on the old
dam, making a stencil that is un-
bearable to residents, the purifying
flesh filling the air with disease
breeding germs that may produce an
epidemic of sickness in ay part of the
city.
The sewage from the Fifth and
Seventh street sewers is discharged
within a few feet of the banks OF
the river, and but a few inches below
the surface. At the points of dis
charge there is little current, and
the sewage is thrown into the dead
water to add to the foulness of the
stencil and the menace to health.
'As a remedy for the condition
we recommend that the sewer outlets
be extended farther into the stream
where the current will carry th'
sewage down the river, and that the
discharge be deeper under the water
We also recommend that a gatewa!
be built through the dam, at leas
% feet wide, to create a current anC
carry sewage, dead fish and othe
offensive material down the river.

BUTCHERS IN DISTRESS.
Retailers Say Half Number Are Near
bankruptcy.

San Francsco.-Half the retail
butchers of San Francisco say they
are on the verge of bankruptcy.
I'VE are being ground to nothing
between two pressures, said A,
Shapiro, president of the Retail
Butchers Association. "On the one
hand, we can get no quarter from
the wholesalers; they are thoroughly
organized and the price of one is the
price of another. On the other hand,
we can't charge the consumer much
more, because if we do he will have
to stop buying meat. Almost half
of our members are practically put
out of business now-gone broke.
I'VE have decided that the only
remedy is for us to organize through
out the state and try to get repre-
sentation in congress. Then, per-
haps, we might obtain a reduction in
the tariff, permitting us to import
meat"
Restaurant keepers have received
notice from wholesale dealers that
on September / the price of choice
cuts will be advanced 2 cents a
pound.
One well-known restaurant keeper
estimated that the increase meant a
difference of $1,000 month in his
profits. He feels that he has reached
a point where his customers will pay
no more.

WOULD DEVELOP ALASKA.
Secretary Fisher Has Large Plans for
Northern Territory.

San Francisco Secretary of the
Interior Fisher, who is en- route to
the Hawaiian Islands, where ne will
investigate the opposition to the re-
appointment of Governor Frear,
commented on the governments pro-
posed development of the coal re-
sources in Alaska. He said a thor
ough, scientific study of coal lands
would be made by the commission
which will leave Washington Tues
day for Alaska. 1t will be composed
of an officer of the navy, a member
of the geological survey, an army en-
gineer and a civil engineer.
Fisher said: Every possible
means of expediting mining in Alas
ka coal scientifically and economical
ly will be studied. The country
faces the urgent necessity of develop
ing all the coal resources, as the
navy alone requires 100000 tons
yearly -
Fisher commented on the plan he
! recently advocated allowing munich
palities to mine moal in nearby fields
without charge, providing coal to be
used by residents. He said he would
recommend a bill which will allow
Grand Junction, Colo, which has ap-
piled for it, the use of $40 acres.
Concerning Alaska, he said he had
recommended the construction of q
railroad from tidewater to the Yukon
and suggested a route from Seward
! through the coal fields to Fairbanks
and added: The coal fields can be
taken care of properly with the care
! fully drawn leasing law in operation
and a railroad from tidewater. There
was too much politics in the recen
session of congress to put such ;
bill through, although | had causet
one to be drawn"
