n. ; THE DAILY COOS BAY TIMES, MARSHFIELD, OREGON, MONDAY, MAY 25, .1908. Hayes Temple Candidate for Coroner (Native Son of Oregon) Plant Being Two Days Late HONORS FOR DELIVERY DF REV. HORSFALL MAIL SOUGHT! ! Salary of Coos Bay Minister Raised Against His Wishes Many Boquets. PORTLAND, Ore., May 25. Wm. Horsfall made i very touching and loudly applauded address before the annual session of the Oregon Epis copal Conference, telling of his mis sions at Coos Bay, and after he had finished Bishop Scadding told how this minister had been working there 18 years and hdd grown old extend ing the faith of the saints, and was receiving only ?400 a year, while four Presbyterian ministers, young and able to endure hardship, were each receiving $000 a year, and were starting mission!). "I immediately recommend a raise to $1000 for Rev. Mr. Horsfall," said Bishop Scadding, and it was given. Rev. Mr. Horsfall asked to have it reduced, saying, "I am not worth it," but Indignant replies, "You are," "You are," coming from all present, his request was let pass. The Bishop said the object was not to lower all to the same pay, but to raise those not yet In the list of the higher-paid missions. The hesitancy of the Rev. Horsfall in accepting the increased salary at tracted much attention, and has brought many words of praise to the venerable man. The Portland Tele gram in commenting on it editorially says: A Case of Rare Modesty. "When a minister of the Gospel labors in a single community for a period of eighteen years, and at a maximum annual stipend of ?400; it can truly be said of that man that Lis personal sacrifice to the cause in -which he is enlisted is great. "When In pure appreciation of that sacrifice his church conference proposes to raise his yearly compensation to ?1000, and that minister modestly demurs with the assertion that he "is not worth it," we are furnished an example -of unselfish service that, in this day and age, it is difficult to match. "At yesterday's session of the Episcopal conference Rev. William Horsfall delivered an address upon his mission work at Coos Bay, where he has been stationed, for the time mentioned, as an humble disciple of tlio Man of Nazareth. Following this address, Bishop Scadding called at tention to the faithful and uncom plaining character of Mr. Horsfall's ministration, dwelling upon the per sonal sacrifice that had been made ior so many years, and announcing that tho ministerial salary had been raised In this Instanco to $1000, an act which had met with tho entire ap proval of tho church authorities. It was upon this announcement that Rev. William Horsfall made tho al most unprecedented request that the Increased salary bo reduced, on tho plea of unworthiness. "There may bo better mon in the service of the church than tho Rev. "William Horsfall; but, without the honor of a personal acquaintance, we venture to say that the peoplo who Know him intimately will not admit it. "Modesty llko this denotes purity of motive and tho quality of simple heroism, which go hand in hand with genuine righteousness. Thero is ovi donco hero of raro endowment; of a rich reward, in tho consciousness of "well-doing, that transcends money values. "In the selfish struggle for the ac quisition of this world's goods, we have grown wiber than tho children of light. It is almost iiupossiblo to find a man who Is not touched with this peculiar wlbdom, whereby wo aro slow to discern tho virtue of self donial. Yet, may wo hold it to tho credit of tho race that tho typo of man exists howover humble his sphere who appreciates tho Imper ishablo riches of sen ice, and of whom his follows with sound hearts must pronounco: "Here is a good man." Chamber of Commerce Will Institute Campaign to Secure It For Marshfielcl. It was announced at the Chamber of Commerce's last meeting that the organization and Postmaster W. Curtis would shortly take steps to se cure the free delivery of mail through out the city. The receipts of the local office are nearly $2,000 in excess of , the minimum $10,000 required to se- I cure free delivery. , The matter will be taken up with the department just as soon as the committee from the Chamber of Com- merce and tne street comnmiee ui the city council can complete the task of renaming the streets and arrang ing for the numbering of them in a systematic way. Postoffice inspector R. J. Stock myer, who is here to arrange for the securing of better quarters for the postofilce and improving the service, was" present and expressed the opin ion that it might be possible to se cure free delivery for Marshfteld soon. Several Speak. Several interesting talks were made at the last meeting, the speakers being Mrs. Margaret Herrln of Portland, Francis H. Clarke, A. H. Eddy and W. H. Dryden of Oak land, Cal., and a pioneer resident of the Coos Bay country. The talks were very interesting and were warm ly applauded. Mr. Dryden, who is visiting at the Merchant home in this city, gave some interesting reminiscences of early times in this section, telling of the difficulties of travel and describ ing the life of the early settlers. He expressed gratification at the rapid. progress Coos Bay is now making but thinks its products should be pushed more. For instance, he has tried to get Coos Bay coal at Oakland but has been unable to procure it from deal ers there. Mrs. Herrln's remarks were also extemporaneous. Her tribute to the beauties of the Coos Bay country was warmly applauded. She said that she rather believed that the people here had grown so accustomed to the natural beauty of their surroundings that they no longer appreciated them. She declared that the wonderful beauty of the great variety of wild (lowers along the Drain stage road, tho remarkable scenery of the Ump qua valley and tho surrounding country recompensed for the difficult trip over it. A. H. Eddy took tho Coos Bay citi zens rather severely to task for not doing more, or at least accomplish ing the things they start or propose fo do. He said that he came hero six months ago and was told of the great street improvements that were going to be made at once, the f" " ; I Hayes Temple, a prominent North Bend man who has announced his candidacy on the Independent ticket for coroner of Coos County, is a na tive son of Oregon, having been born and raised in this state. He was born in Albany in 1S7G, secured his early education there and later grad uated from the Oregon State Normal. Then he studied medicine for a year before taking up the undertaking and embalming course. Upon his conclusion of this course, he went to Portland and spent three years with the large undertaking firms of Holman & Company, and Erickson & Company. Following his marriage he moved to North Bend to engage in. business for himself and is now a member of the undertaking firm of Temple, Smith & Company of North Bend. His numerous friends throughout Coos county, who urged him to enter the race, point out that he is excel lently qualified for the position of coroner. His education and training will enable him to promptly and carefully Investigate all sudden or accidental deaths and his business ability will insure the keeping of ex penses to the county and to the par ties immediately interested as low as is consistent with tne thorough and capable execution of the duties of the office. As the position of coroner is one in which politics should not be involved, Mr. "Tem ple's friends ask that all, regard less of partisanship who wish the best possible administration of the office to vote for Mr. Temple next Monday. .1965 . BROS cities had done in their early stages and said that he wishes to urge upon all the necessity of getting busy and keep doing things all the time in stead of talking about it. Otherwise, he declared Coos Bay would never be a city. Francis H. Clarke in an extempo raneous talk replied to Mr. Eddy's hotel that criticism. He compared Coos Bay to Will Be compelled to postpone their showing of Fine Ladies' Tailored Suits UNTIL TOMORROW TUESDAY Three Days Commencing Tomorrow TUESDAY You will see displayed at this store the entire output of one of the largest New York Cloak and Suit House Stock 250 different patterns and styles to select from, no two alike, all sies Don't miss it CHANT BRO ittiititnttittiitiiimuitiiitxmxsntttitiitmminttntttttittttitttttttt was going up immediately and nu- ja diamond in the rough and spoke of nierous other things.
