'i councilman. fdlgo on Mr, Simpson's Ranees of the "Cowboy preacher" and -V'Cyclone" Dan Shannon there. He declared that as a result of their ex hortations, strife had been raised, "Ihusbands and wives doubted each pother, children and parents doubted ifcach other and even sweethearts had not escaped in the tur.moil. He said j"that they had slandered the best .uffpeople in the community and were f Jnow trying to dictate to North Bend people how their politics and their city should be run. He said that re- lglon was all right In its place but ;the religion he 'had been taught was 'a different kind than that which at tempts to control politics. He grew 'ironical In his treatment of them. e roundly denounced the authors of the circulars .that had been spread broadcast in North Bend which by Intimation attacked L. J. Simpson nd others. Replying to one of the charges that had been made that Manley M. Strawn, candidate for councilman on the Citizens' ticket, ad paid out the school district's (money wrongfully, he declared that Ir. Strawn had simply lived up to a contract which had been made by the school board of which A. W. lyers Is president and he was a Rmember. He said that Mr. Myers ad later attempted to 'nullify this contract which lfad been entered In to with D. Madonna and' J. Home- ut that Mr. Strawn like a straight forward business man had' compiled tvIIi its terms. Referring to the charge that L. J. Simpson had resigned as mayor be cause ho didn't want to discharge Marshal Caffrey, Judge Guerry said t wasn't so but if it was so, he want-1 d to compare the act with that of Geo. ,D. Mandigo whom t"he Business Men's Association was boosting for He said that Mr. Man- resignation became acting mayor and as such was In charge of Marshal Caffrey. How- ver. instead of discharging Marshal 3affrey, he had remained away from council meetings for almost two 'months and had only attended when 'the other councilmen agreed not to attempt to discharge Mr. Caffrey. Regarding the attacks that Major .Kinney had made on the ticket, Judge Guerry said the only thing the matter with Kinney was that he took i.lilmself too seriously. He said that &Mr. Kinney's objections to a "one man town" was because he (Kinney) "wasn't the one man. The present situation in North ' Send, Judge Guerry likened to a lather coming to the aid of his in fant child who Is tottering about un decided and unprotected. He said that North Bend was the child of L. J. Simpson and when the latter saw It in the condition It Is today, his heart went out to It and ho came at once to aid to guide it and help it along. Ho declared that of Mr. Simpson's attitude towards progress and boosting there, North Bend had substantial evidence In that every church in town, where the men now opposing him are delivering their sermons, stands on land given by him and In edifice which ho helped I, build. L. J, .Simpson Talks. L. J. Simpson lu his address out lined his platform and Incidentally gave a little history of North Baud. He said that ho had bought tho town Blto of new North Bend when thero was only a house or two on it, plat tod it into lots and started to build a town. Ho said ho had met with op position because they termed it a "ono man town." Then ho said that -with Peter Loggle and others he had helped securo the Bandou Woolen Mills, tho North Bond Manufactur ing Company and other Industries, Regarding his resigning as mayor, ho said that he had done so at a tlnio when ho thought he would have to go to San Francisco for a consid erable length of time. His mother had just died and his father- was broken hearted and wanted to bo re lieved of some of the .work thero. Ho mado arrangements to go, but as tho time elnpsod, hlB father had rail lad back to his old self and tho move wasn't necessary. Mr. Simpson throw all his vim Into denouncing tho anonymous circulars that had beon distributed. Ho said they had not mentlonod his namo but by insinuation mado tholr moaning ' clenr. Ho said that he dolled tho coward who had wrltton thorn to tneet him face to faco. This remark brought enthusiastic applause from -" ' !"" the audience. Going a little farther, he .said that the circulars spoko of foreclosing mortgages and contracts for homes. He said ho had never foreclosed a mortgage In his life and had never foreclosed a contract on a home in North Bend. He said that his ambition was to make North Bend a better and a greater town. Regardless ot what conies or goes, his desire will be to help North Bend. Regarding his platform, he said that ho was for progress on business lines. He said that he favored the issuance of bonds to redeem tho out standing city warrant indebtedness and for" other purposes where the city would be benefitted. He said that he had not opposed tho Issuance ot bonds for a municipal waterworks, but that ho wanted to be assured be fore money was spent on such a pro ject that a source of supply had been secured which would be ample for years. This, he said, hadn't heed found. As to the improving the waterfront, he said that a landing for the small boats could be con structed at a minimum cost by ex tending, the Washington street wharf out to the harbor line and then driv ing a row or two of piling along the harbor line, making a natural basin. He said that he was In favor of the immediate completion of the Marsh-field-North Bertd waterfront road. He said that on the North Bend end, the road passed through the Simp son Lumber Company's property and that the company would have to bear practically all the expense there. He said that he was In favor of opening up Sherman avenue as soon as the people there wanted it. He said that ho was in favor of making 'the saloons adhere strictly to ' the law. He 'said that al present, he thought North Bend needed tho li cense from them. He said that if the other towns in the county and the rest of Oregon goes "dry," why North' Bend would fall In line, but with other towns nearby dispending liquor, ho did not think North Bend should become 'a' closed town. In closing, Mr. Simpson urged that the Citizens' -Ticket for councilmen be supported as well as himself. Mayor Straw Talks. On the conclusion of Mr. Simpson's ! talk, there were a number of calls for Mayor Straw of Marshfleld, who happened to bo in the audience. The latter resp'onded. He said that he was sorry that spoochmaklng was out of his line, but that ho wished to express his thanks for tho honor shown him. He said that while he did not want to Interfere In any way In North Bend's politics, he wanted to say a word about Mr. Simpson. He said that a man who had done so much for a town as Mr. Simpson has done for North Bend and a man who is in a position to do so much for a place In tho future as Mr. Simpson Is for North Bend was de serving a great deal from the people. As for Mr. Simp son's honesty and Integrity, he said no ono could have a doubt and he only regretted that Marshfleld did not have a man like him. UNUSUAL A III LJTIGAIION Calvin Judy and Former Wife h Legal Battle For Loon Lake Claim. ROSEBURG, Oro., Dec. 14. More troubles have arisen between Calvin Judy, the Loon Lake settler, and his former wife, Mrs. Susan C. Wllhoit, also divorced from her second hus band. In a suit filed through C. L. Hamilton, her' attorney, In the circuit court this afternoon, Mrs. Wllhoit claims possession of the ICO-acre homestead which Judy now occupies. She not only asks for recovery of the premises, but $50 special damages for being ousted by Judy In Juno of this year following his parole from the Oregon penitentiary after serving 13 years of a life sentence for killing a neighboring rancher in the Loon Lake country as the result of a dis pute over grazing privileges. Mrs. Wllhoit qlso asks the 'further sum of $75 as profits accruing from the land since her ejectment. ' This suit affords' an intricate legal question. Judy has a government patent to the land, while Mrs. Wll hoit holds a tax deed. After Judy's incarceration in the penitentiary, his wife made final- proof on the home stead In her husband's name, but did not obtain a patent. Then she ob tained a dlVorce, married Leander P. Wllhoit, and allowed the land to. be come delinquent 'for taxes. At' the sheriff's sale Wllhoit bought the property and then deeded it to his wife. By virtue of this Instrument, Mrs. WUhott now: claims title. When Judy was released from the penitent tlary he promptly got, his long defer red patent from the United States, proceeded to his ,oJd Loon Lake home, ousted his former .wife and took possession. ' , - "r.r"" Now it Is" up to the courts to say which of the two .is entitled' to the land. A phase of the matter that will h'ave-t.0 be reckoned with is that the tax deed held by Mrs. Wllhoit is said to exclude from Its description 40 acres of the premises on which the Improvements stand. Offsetting this flaw, however, Is the fact that Judy being merely paroled is still civilly dead under the state laws. Whether this status applies to a transaction between Judy and the Federal government is a question that awaits decision of the courts. NORTH BEND NEWS Mrs. Smith of San Francisco, who has been visiting at tho homo of her son, J. R. Smith, left on the M. F. Plant for her home yesterday. The Tlmos erroneously stated that Mrs. J. It.

"If there Is ono business on earth that a quitter should leave severely alone It Is advertising," says John Wanamaker. "To make a success of advertising one must be prepared to stick to It Hkp a barnacle on a boat's bottom. Advertising doesn't jerk; It pulls. It begins very gently at first, but the pull is steady. It Is likened to a team pulling a heavy load. A thousand spasmodic, jerky pulls will not budge the load, while one-half the power exerted In steady effort will start and keep it moving."
