Probably you have a pretty defi nite idea of who are the best men to fill theo ffices, but do you understand thoroughly whether or not a farmer can got all of his work done when his help only works eight houra, whether a $1500 tux exemption law is practical, whether the work of the State departments of insurance and corporations can bo carried on hotter under one head than under wto, or whether a dentist can prepare him self thoroughly to practice his profes sion in 12 months of study.

Ward Visits Curry In Hunt for the Best Products. HIS JOB ENTAILS MUCH TRAVELING HiG EFFORT BEING MADE TO HAVE COOS AND CURRY EX HIBITS AMONG THE BEST. J. A. Ward, of Mnrshficld was in th city Wednesday and went on down thec oast on the Thursday morning stnge. Mr. Ward is collecting the exhibits for Coos nnd Curry counties for tho San Francisco fair, and will have charge of them at the fair. Mr. Ward will travel over most of Coos and Curry in search of 'every thing that will be a good advertise ment for this section, nnd expects to have an exhibit second to none at the exposition. On this trip down the coast he will visit Ianglois, Port Orford, Brookings and various other Curry county points. The plan is to raise about $5,000 to collect nnd exhibit Coos nnd Cur ry county products and of thi ssum Curry county will raise about one fourth and Coos the remnidor. The Coos county court has appropriated $2,000 of which $1,000 is now avail able and tho rest will bo immediate ly after January 1st'.' It is expected that the. Curry coun ty court will appropriate nbout $700 which will make $2,700 from tho two courts, and it is expected to raise the balance of $2,300 through the various commercial bodies of the two counties. Mr. Ward will consume about ten duys on this trip down tho coast and upon his return to Bandon a meeting of tho business men of the city will bo held and plans arranged for rais ing Bandon's share of tho money. It is felt that if this section of Or egon is going to havo an exhibit at all it ought to havo one in keeping with tho growth and progress of tho country, and one that will bo an at traction to visitors at the fair, and no doubt many people from tho east who are contemplating locating in tho west will como to this section to investigate as a result of tho excell ent exhibit that will bo on display at the fair.

PHINNEGER GETS AWAY AGAIN Lad Who Was Committed to a Port land Home Is Too Much for His Keepers. "Liberty and the pursuit of happi ness" are the most important part of tho Constitution in the mind of Wes ley Phinneger, the lad who was pro nounced incorrigible and ordered com mitted to the care of the Boys nnd Girls Aid Society, of Portland, by the Cqunty Juvenile Court about o month ago. After experiencing much trouble n getting young Phinneger to Port land, the authorities were yesterday advised of the fact that ho had es caped and returned to Bandon. Wes ley's appearance on First Street yes terday was tho- signal for a demon stration rivaling Buster Brown's little attraction and a largo crowd gather ed around to hear him cxplnin his reappearnce. According to his story he escaped fromt ho Portland institution by crawling out of a chimney. He then went to tho depot, where he board ed a "sido door Pullman" and beat his way to Roseburg, from which place he walked to Myrtle Point, cov ering the distance in three days. Telling of this part of his trip he said, "I got my meals and slept in farmhouses, but I did not tell any one my name and I didn't stay in any houses where they had telephones either." From Myrtle Point the boy camo down the river on n boat When ask ed how he liked the place where he had boon kept ho answered in quite positive terms that ho did not like it and said that ho was going to bo good for awhile, so that they would quit watching him. It is not known what further dis position will bo mado of tho boy's case, that being for tho Court to de cide.

PROPERTY LOCATED IN OLD MEXICO MAN WHO LEFT RICH MEXICAN PROPERTY WAS RESIDENT OF BANDON THIRTY YEARS AGO. According to reports received here Nettie and Stanley Halter of this city have fallen heir to a large eslafe in Mexico, and an investigation of tho situation will be made at once As the story runs, one, Jonathan B. Halter, left this country about 20 years ago, and told no one where he was going, and although search war mado for him at the time there wa: never any trace found of him, until a short time ngo an article was pub lished in a French magazine at Nots weilor, Germany, inquiring for the relatives or heirs of Mr. Halter. It might be added here that Mr. Ilnltci was a native of that town nnd it if supposed to bo for that reason that tho article was published there, think ing that the heirs or at least some of them might bo in that section of the country. The magazine was sent to tho relatives in this country, nnd il was from that sourco tho news wa: first learned. Tho article stated thnt Mr. Haltci had been dead about two years and had loft a largo estate in Mexico. Upon investigation it was found that the only heirs were Mary Chat- burn, Glide, Ore; Mrs. Franklin, Elk- ton, Ore; Victor Halter, of Fishtrap Geo. Halter of this county; Mrs. Wy mor, of Grants Pass, and Nettie ane Stanley Halter of Bandon. Geo. Halter, a son of tho deceased went to Mexico to look into the situa tion and he writes back that the es tate consists of 2,000 acres of orange land, valued at $500.00 an acre and a large amount of vnluable town pro perty. Ho also stated that nothing could be done until after the Mox lean war is over. J. B. Moomnw, step father of Net tie and Stanley Halter, will go tt Mexico some time this winter and sec what can be done with tho proposi tion. Ho will also look into the law.1 of Mexico governing pro: r" y and sec after tho deeds and other papers. Mr. Moomaw and the Hnlter c'.i'Jren havi been living in Bandon tl' ; summer, but they are now moving to theii ranch near Arngo, and ns soon as thej get things straightened around on the ranch, Mr. Moomaw will sUirt foi Mexico. It will not be known just what con dition the estate is in until Mr. Moo maw can get to Moxico and make the investigation.

IS ENDORSED VICTORY FOR THE ENTIRE RE PUBLICAN TICKET PRE DICTED BY THE SPEAKERS The Rcpubican rally at the Orph eum Wednesday night was well at tended and the addresses were much to the point. The meeting was called to order by Col. R. H. Rosa, who in troduced P. M. Hall-Lewis, the chair man of the Coos County Central Com mittee, and who presided ovro thu meeting. Mr. Hall-Lewis outlined some of the points of the campaign and then introduced Hon. Chas. I. Reigard, who mado a stirring ndrcss on tho sub ject of tho Republican party in pub lic service. Mr. Reigard stated that tho Republican party had taken tho initiative in all tho progress of tho country since 1800 and it was to the Republican party that our prosperity was ilue, and the fact that wo had be come such a great nation. Mr. Rei gard is a forceful speaker and thor oughly familiar with fact3 and fig- ures which went to provo Ids con tentions. Mr. Reigard was followed by Judge C. A. Sehlbrcde of Marshfield, who nddrcsscd tho audience on tho Repub lican state and congressional ticket. He took the opportunity to show somo of the excellent service Congressman Hawley has done for this district, Ho showed that while Mr. Hnwloy was tho sole representative of eleven ports nlong tho Oregon coast, ho al ways succeeds in getting something for each one, nnd lie has to go up ngainst n combination of 20 men in the House and Senate who aro work ing tooth and nail for tho Columbia River, to do it. The fuct that the Coquillo River was cut down from $90,000 to $20,000 by tho original bill not being- put through the Senate, is not in any way tho fault of Mr. Hawley, anil is not hold against him by the people of this icction. Everyone is aware that Mr. Hawley did all in his power to get the bill through the House, and" tho cutting down was done in tho Senate, md tho fault lies with the chief of Jiiginecrs, Major Morrow, and tho Oregon senators, Chamberlain and Lunc. Mr Sehlbrcde also dwelt at some 'ongth on the character and career if Robert A. Booth, Republican can lidatc for United States senator, and .tatcd that Mr. Booth wns an up right, clean citizen, and tho charges )iought by Governor West and oth jrs aro misrepresentations of tho rankest sort. Regarding Dr. Jnnrcs Withycombo, Republican candidate for governor, Judgo Sehlbrcde said ho was a clean man, a thorough scholar and a man in every fitted for tho olllce, and pro- lictcd that ho along with thu rest of the ticket would bo elected by a largo majority at tho election next Tues day. Chairman Hall-Lewis made a short talk on tho Coos county candldatus and Robert Watson, candidate for county rlerk, and Geo. J, Armstrong, audldato for county commimiloiior, both gavo short addionsoii. Attorniiy (i. T.
