The surveyors who have located the line to Myrtle Point or near there, have been taken off from that part of the work. It is intended to put on the surveyors to locate the line through the canyon above Myrtle Point out to Roseburg in about four weeks. The location through the canyon will be the most difficult piece of engineering work on the road and the best of engineers will have charge of it. Forty miles of steel rails purchased in Philadelphia were shipped by water from that city for Coos bay three weeks ago and are expected to arrive here shortly. -- Roseburg Review. + [cp] = Music Pr-78 CCH Oct 21, 1890 Chicago Cottage Organ.
