He went on to say that the meeting had been called for the purpose of obtaining an expression of opinion from the mem bers of the association, as to whether or not they considered It advisable to express their opinions In regard to the selection of a successor to Pro fessor F. A. Golden. He said he con sidered It of vital Importance 'o the community that Professor Golden be retained, nnd said he wanted to know what steps they were willing to talc? In order to Induce the School Board to retain Professor Golden in his pre sent position. B. h. C. Farrin pointed out. the fact that Professor Golden had taken charge of the Marshfield school when It was little better than a country school. That he had at that time and since refused numerous offers, where much higher salaries had been offered him, and he had continued faithful to tho schools of Marshfield and Coos county for the past twent years. He pointed out that Profes sor Golden's interests ana nis nomu, were in Marshfield. Further that U wns due almost to Professor Golden's untiring efforts that the schools of Marshfield had been built up to their present high, standard. Mr. Farrin pointed out the fact that Professor Golden has been tried for twenty years. That his management has al ways been successful and that he was progressive, as has been pointed out by State Superintendent Ackerman as one of the most advanced school systems-in Oregon, and said that it would be dangerous and would show, in his opinion, a lack of appreciation of the .people or tho community ff they failed to re-elct Professor Gold pn at this time.

A member of the Alumni said to-, day: "Some discussion then took place as to why Marshfield schools and Its school system had been attacked re - cently by Mr. Shannon on the charge that Infidelity was fostered in the schools. Tho members of the Asso ciation present iknew that nothing had ever taken place In the school or out of It, whllo they were present which would justify such an attack and It being assumed that Mr. Shan non was misinformed as to the true conditions that existed in tho schools, It was decided that no action bo taken. The Alumni Is well aware of all that Professor Golden has done for tho Marshfield schools, and appre ciates his efforts toward the advance ment of the morals of tho school and his pupils, and believes that his Influ ence has always been used to en courage tho practice of religion ns much as Is possible under the laws of this State."

LeRoy Hall.) Great mourning in the lower regions over tho halt-thousand and more souls which the Holy Spirit has turned toward riglu- eousness in Marshfield. A splendid sermon, an attentive audience and a willing response tells the story of last night's meeting in the Tabernacle. Mr. Shannon speaks wan aiwaya, ouc ne certainty uoej 11 1 !.--. . ... . best on rainy nights. The text was "No other foundation can any man lay than that which is laid which is Jesus Christ." The speaker said that this foundation was not Peter, Mar tin Luther, John Wesley, the ordi nances of the church, morality, Ma sonry, Odd Fellowship, but it was Jesus Christ. "When God started a church, he laid a foundation, this was his Son! When Jesus Christ cried out in agony on tho cross, "It. is finished," . foundation was then laid. Laid Low. "I notice that foundations are laid low In the ground. This imparts their real value. Jesus was laid low. He came- from Heaven to tho darkest world possible and became in the likeness of sinful man. They laid Him in the grave. Ho became the mediator between God and man. ,He being the Son of God became the Son of Man that ho might mako men sons of God. Stono Foundations. "These are best. You talk about Peter being tho foundation and so on. wny, Peter petered out. He was a married man. He was no Pope. When ho preached on the day of Pentecost, didn't he say, "the stone which has been rejected by you build ers has become the chief corner stono even Jesus Christ whom you cruci fied." I tell you it's a dangerous thing to set Jesus Christ aside for another. Men in 'Frisco thought they had buildings that would stand any kind of quake, but they didn't. Somen here in Marshfield think they are all right they don't need Christ. But they will find out differently to their j sorrow perhaps. When a man tells ( you he Is so good he can't sin and , that he is satisfied, you had better j keep your hand on your pocket book and watch your wife." A Tried Foundation. "A man whoso house had burned started to build another on tho old foundation, becauso tho old one had been tried. Christ was tried. Ho was tried by JustiSe. Even though he received not Justice he stood firm to tho end. Ho had convictions and becauso of them he went to Calvary. Ho was also tried by Satan and with every test He made good. Mr. AVIho nnd Mr. Fool. "Both build houses. Mr. Fool is In a hurry and desires to build cheap ly. Ho wants to get throuch and bo nt some other work. Ills houso has no foundation and it Is all bullded before Mr. Wise gets his houso fairly started. Ho sets and laughs at Mr. Wise as ho works and toils to be sure of a strong structure. Presently, af ter both 'houses aro completed, a heavy storm comes and wo read tho winds beat upon Mr. Fool's house and tho floods decended and It fell, for It was bullded on tho sands. Then the winds said 'Wo have destroyed Mr, Fool and his house, let's go over and push down Mr. Wise's house. Now, all together, push." nut It falls not, for It Was bullded on tho rock." Cleanup Day.

Tho Portland Journal says: "That the Harriman Interests will rush construction of Its proposed road across the state of Oregon from Coos Bay to Vale, by way of Burns, Is the latest report in railroad circles on tho coast. General Manager J. P. O'Brien being out of the city it is Impossible to get his confirmation, but tho news emanates from excellent sources, leaving llttlo room for doubt of Its authenticity. "According to these sources com pletion of the Coos Bay-Drain branch will bo rushed with all possible haste while at the same time large forces will be put to work between Vale and Burns, thus hurrying along tho work from both ends of the line.
