The gasoline schooner, Enterprise, nrr-nrrtlnir to brief reports received hom in nn the beach In Rogue river ' ,n Poit of nn accident to her ma- chlnery night before last. The in juries to the boat are not serious but will necessitate her being tied up until new parts can bo secured. As near as can be ascertained, one of her gaskets was put out of busi ness and shd had to be allowed to float up on the beach. She about ready to start for Coos was ! Bav i with a cargo and had the accident occurred after she got to sea, It would have probably meant serious trouble for the crew. The Enterprise has only one en Sine so that any accident to her ma chinery completely cripples the boat. At first, It was feared that she had met a similar fate to the Berwick, Tt. D.

At the end of the first week, the Rfnnillnir of the cnndld-tes in the Coos Bay Times' popular voting con test, shows the contestants to be pretty close together. The count shows the vote up to 10 o'clock this morning. Thus far. aside from the members of Doric Chapter No. 53, Order of the Eastern Star, little systematic work has been done by any of the candidates, most of the votes being turned in by friends. Results in pre vious contest show that the ones who begin a systematic canvass of their friends early stand the best show of winning as the easiest votes obtained are those secured before other candidates have been to see subscribers or would-be subscribers. In addition to those secured by the payment of the subscription, the can didate lining up the subscriber also secures the benefit of the coupons printed daily In The Times. Thus far, the great majority of the votes turned in have been those secured by payment of subscription. Not many ballots have been turned In. As over 1,600 are printed daily by The Times, some of the candidates have an excellent opportunity to se cure a large number of votes by ar ranging to secure these coupons from subscribers. Care must be taken that the coupons are turned in promptly as their value ceases after they are ten days old. Beginning Monday, The Times will print the list of candidates and the standing dally. This is owing to the large number votes being turned in making it difficult to canvass them only once a week. It will also enable the candidates to keep closer tab on their rivals. There is still time for some en thusiastic person or organization to get into the contest and carry off some of the best prizes, either the $400 Gabler piano, gold watch, busi ness college scholarship, library table or talking machine. THE WORD "SLIP SKAT" In chalrology means the seat can be lifted out. Opportunities oft times slip also. Read our advertisement. Perry Montgomery & Co. Crescent Baking Powder is the best As we can prove by every test. SMUGGLING IIY AIRSHIP NEXT. Customs Ollicinls Seriously Consider tho Possibility. WASHINGTON, Aug.

Job Is ME IKE FIE STORIES? PROF. II. L. WILLETTS SAYS THKV SHOULD NOT BE TAUGHT TO CHILDREN AS FACTS. CHICAGO, Aug. S. Prof. Herbert L. Willets, of the Divinity School of the University of Chicago, who re cently attacked the Bible miracles and was in turn grilled by orthodox ministers, has returned to the fray again. "No man ever lived who could per form a miracle that is, who could cause a change of God's laws of gov ernment of the universe," he said. "The Old Testament miracles as narrated by Old Testament writers are chiefly fanciful narratives based on fact or legend, and should not be taught children as a literal descrip tion of facts. You cannot teach children in school of the unchange able laws of nature and then teach them In Sunday school that these laws are at times broken by God or His prophets. "All primitive people are lovers of the marvelous. Children have their fairy tales. There are four groupes, the first evidently based on fact, but exaggerated. Among these are cross ing of the Red Sea and the ten plagues of Egypt. "The second set are bar.ed on fig ures of speech which have no fact. Among them are Joshua commanding the sun and moon to stand still, and God raining stones on the Cauranites, and the Psalmist who tells of moun tains bowing down and little moun tains sKlpplng like lambs. "The third group is legendary, as the man raised from the dead after battle and falling In Elisha's tomb, and the three children of Israel in tho fiery furnace. "The fourth group includes those who violate morals and probability, such as the destruction of children by bears at the command of Elisha and the death of Uzza." ROVING NEEDLE KILLS GIRL.

SAGE'S AUTO WEALTHY WIDOW OF LATK FI NANCIER HEFRIKNDS TRAMP SHE FOUND IX ROAD. POUGHKEEPSIE, Aug. 8. Mrs. Russel Sage visited Pollco Head quarters in this city on an errand of mercy. She was in her large auto mobile with a woman friend. On tho seat by the side of tho chauffeur sat a typical hobo. Chief of Police McCabe went out to the automobile. Mrs. Sago intro duced herself and asked to havo the tramp assisted on his journey to Al bany. Mrs. Sage and her friend left Cold Springs, where they are visiting, to call on President Taylor, at Vas sar College. Near Flshklll Landing they saw the tramp lying by tho roadside. He said he was Everett Jocelyn, thirty five, and that he was sick, having been affected by the heat. Mrs. Sage ordered her chauffeur to assist the man into the car and brought him to this city. Mrs. Sage asked Chief McCabe some questions about the Poughkeep sle and Eastern Railway, a forty-mile road, from this city to Boston Cor ners, and that was formerly owned by Russell Sage and sold since his death to the New Haven Railroad. "Is the railroad In operation?" asked Mrs. Sage. "Oh, yes," replied the Chief; "and Upton Lake? Do trains still run there?" McCabe answered that Upton Lake s still on the way, twelve miles from Poughkeepsie. "You know my husband used to give an outing every year to the poor children of Poughkeepsie?" said the wealthy widow; "now I want you to do the same thing this summer for me. Get a special train and take al tho children you can get out to Up ton Lake. Give them a big day; sandwiches, coffee', ice-cream and fruit, and send mo all the bills." Mrs. Sage gave the sick tramp $6 and he thanked her with tears in his eyes. The police put him on a train for Albany, where Jocelyn says he has relatives.
