LOOKS LIKE REAL SALOON Deputy District Attorney Bryson Is Expected Soon to Take a Very Lively Interest In Proceed ings Behind Doors. CORVATJL.IS. Or., Aug. 9. (Special.) This town la watching with more or less curlOBlty the operations of the CorvaMs Social and Athletic Club. The main pur pose of the organization is to keep "wet goods" wlthjn reach ofits membership. notwithstanding the local option law, and" to supply such goods to them In quanti ties great or small. The management alleges It Is operating within the law. The headquarters Is the building owned by Ben Woldt, and many years operated hy him as a saloon. All the fixtures and appliances ln?5de are said to be In posi tion exactly as they wore left by Woldt when the local option law forced him out of business. The establishment Ib not In the charac ter of a "blind tiger' which mothod has proven disastrous to those who have at tempted It here, but Is fairly open In its operations, claiming Immunity because alleged to be within the ,speclncatlon of the law In the conduct of its business. The member pays 51 for life membership, and 40 cents per month dues. Frequent invoices of liquors and beer' are received. Members In pairs, trios or othorwise leave Main street and walk a block down Jefferson to the headquarters, disappear, and after a time reappear, the proceed ing in all Instances reminding the public of the days when the place was a real ealoon. paying a city license, and with the obliging Mr. "Woldt inside. The club is incorporated. Its president is C. C Geer. a son of By Gecr, ox-state land agent, and a nephew of ex-Governor Geer. The vice-presICent is Merwln Mc Manes, a printer and hotel waiter. The secretary and treasurer Is Mike Kline, three months ago arrived from Indiana for a second sojourn in Oregon and re cently a defendant in. a gambling case, in which marked cards, owned by him, were a large figure In the evidence. Plan Approved by Portland Lawyers Members of the official staff consulted a firm of Portland lawyers, who told them the plan could be worked, and prepared for them the articles of incorporation. Just what takes place inside the estab lishment Is not known to outsiders, and all that can be determined is that Infer ence derived from the several violent cases of drunkenness thtft have been evolved. A big cloth sign displayed at the building says, "The Corvallls Social and Athletic Club. Members admitted only. Trespassers handled according to law." Each member carries a key to the place, 250 keys having been manufactured for the purpose. The articles of Incor poration declare the purposes of the or ganization to be: To promote and encourage alt kinds of field and athletic sports; tp promote and encourage the pleasure, exercise and rqcroa tion of Its members; to promote and en courage reasonable and proper protection of all kinds of wild game and conduct sport ing contests. .Tor acquiring and maintain ing new game preserves for tho use. benefit and enjoyment of members, to secure by lease, purchase or otherwise, the right and privilege to hunt, shoot and flsti on such game preserves, and to erect buildings or other structures necessary and proper for carrying out the purposes mentioned. Aleo to promote the physical. Intellectual and moral welfare of Its members. No Evidence of Athletics. Up to the present there have been no manifestations of the sporting or ath letic Ideas, and operations, as far as have been visible from the outside, have been confined solely to the liquor business. The experiment does not have the sympathy or support of the business men, and is frowned at by most of the men who were In the liquor business when local option went Into effect. Not much concern has yet beea mani fested by the local option forces, who look upon the enterprise as certain to come to grief. In this respect. Deputy District Attorney Bryson, who, in the conduct of his office has Invariably followed the Je rome Idea, Is counted upon for an Impar tial and vigorous enforcement of the law. Mr. Bryson was not, in the beginning. In sympathy with the loca option move ment, but since It went Into effect, by his strict and successful application of the law, he has made himself both respected and feared by the lawbreakers. He has made the "blind tiger" business so disas trous to those who have attempted It that every enterprise In that Interest has been driven out. He followed up two men who had sworn falsely on the wit ness stand In a local option case and brought a perjury case so close to tbem that they confessed that they had sworn to falsehoods.

MARVELOUS IN RESOURCES Building of Railroad Will Result in the Building or Mills and Fac tories and Large Increase In Population. SALEM. Or.. Aug. 9 (Special.) "The Coast country of Southwestern Oregon is a region of -marvelous re sources and of latent wealth so vast a to amaze tho visitor on his. first trip to that part of the state." said Governor Chamberlain today, on his return from Coos and. Curry Counties. 'The construction of a railroad from Coos Bay to the main line of the South ern Pacific will remove the chief ob stacle to the development of that coun try, by furnishing adequate transpor tation facilities. The people of Coos and Curry Counties now feel assured that the road will be built and they arc rejoicing that the hopes they have so long entertained will end In frui tion. Harbor of Coos Bay. "Coos Bay Is the best harbor between the Columbia River and the Golden Gate, which fact probably had much to do with the decision of the Harrl man Interests to build tc that point on the Coast. The harbor already accom modates a large domestic and foreign commerce In lumber, and Improvement of the channel by deepening will make It a port of entry for the largest sea going vossels. Coos Bay has business to offer for any vessels that can now or may hereafter be able to enter tho harbor. There Is also a good harbor at Ban don, where vessels enter during the Summer season without the help of a tug. Will Make Part of Oregon. "The trade relations, of the South west counties have been almost en tirely with San Francisco, so that the people of that region scarcely know they are residents of Oregon until tax-paying- time comes around. The build ing of a inllroad, I believe, will change the order of things and Portland will get a large part of the trade that is now going to California. "Though Coos Bay is only 24 hours from Portland and 40 from San Fran cisco, there are only two boats con necting with tho Oregon metropolis. while there are a large number plying between Coos Bay and San Francisco. Very few Portland traveling men are ever seen In the Coos Bay towns. "The principal Industries of Coos and Curry Counties are lumbering, coal mining and dairying. There Is an In exhaustible supply of material for' the former two and tne possibility of great Increase in the quantity of dalry products manufactured. The dairying Industry Is already one of large mag nitude, for the irnmense areas of ex-. ceeJIngly rich bottom lands and title lands are producing feed for herds of as fine dairy cattle as can be found anywhere. Farmers' Comfortable Homes.' "All along the many streams flowing Into Coos Bay farmers have established themselves in comfortable homes and are making good incomes from the sale of milk, cream, butter and cheese. Tne magnitude of the dajry Industry In that section may be Imagined when I tell you that over 10) gasoline launches are engaged In the business of gather ing the dairy products and supplying the needs of farmers along th.e water courses. "In going from Bandon to Coqullle, a distance of 40 miles, our boat stopped 46 times to take on board the freight left on the little private, docks of tho ranchers. I never saw a more prosperous-looking people nor a more prosperous-looking country than the dairy ing region around Coos Bay. Many of the farmers own launches for the transportation of their products. Thn occupation In which they are engaged Is one that yields a cash return every month and apparently they all havo money. Farming Land Well Taken Up. "I do not look for a very large in crease In the farming population of Coos and Curry Counties as a result of the building ot the railroad. The farm ing land Is already under cultivation and the ranches are not too large. By going back some distance, new agri cultural lands may be found, but Hie development In that direction. I think, will be comparatively slow. "It is in manufacturing that I look for most rapid progress, for the mag nificent forests of the west slope of the Coast Range Mountains In Coos and Curry Counties are unsurpassed. Thi building of new sawmills, new furni ture factories and the establishment of similar enterprises will furjiish em ployment for large numbers of people, and I expect to see many new towns started and the older towns greatly increased in population. "While there will be growth in agri cultural Industries It will not be. so marked as the development of manu facturing. Hospitality of the People. "Among the people of the places I visited I noticed that warm hospltallty whlch Is always characteristic of an Isolated community. Xhe business men always close their doors when a stranger of prominence comes, and all the peope turn out to welcome him. "There Is unanimity and the best of feeling on such occasions and the heartiness with which all Join In tha festivities makes the stranger feel at home Immediately. I enjoyed my trip to Coos and Curry Counties and learned much concerning a region of which I had heretofore known but little." Cut in Lumber Prices. VANCOUVER. B. a. Aug. 9. A big cut In lumber prices for the Northwest trade Is announced by the Coast mills, with the alleged object of disrupting the selling pool organized at Calgary two months ago by the mountain lumber mills. Ship lap and other rough dimension lumber Is now being delivered by the Vancouver mills to points In the Canadian Northwest at $17 per 1000 feet, a cut of $3 per 1000. Wooden Bridge to Be Built.

Decrease In Insane Patients. OLTMPIA. Wash.. Aug. 9, (Special.) A decrease of seven In population, la shown by the monthly report of the Eastern Washington Hospital for the Insane.
