IS SCIENCE THE ROAD TO HELL?
Local Men Differ
A friend of mine stoutly assorted
on the street the other day Modern
science is sending people to Hell." I
have heard such assertions before,
but did not know that they were com
ing from men of intelligence in our
day. Another thing that came out in
our conversation is that my friend is
troubled about the hypocrisy outside
the church while that which troubles
me is within the church.
I have great interest in science, but
if it leads to Hell, I must leave it out,
for it is my profession to point out the
'oad to point out the road to Heaven.
To bring this matter to a point
where it will be interesting and edify
ing, I challenge my friend to a joint
discussion, and grant him the privi
ledgo of stating the question either
positively of negatively. There's
nothing in an empty assertion. Let's
look into this matter.
Yours for a lifelong search for
truth and its application to character,
C. Mayne Knight
We feel like making special men
tion of the moving picture put on by
Mr. Selliner, at the Grand Theatre
last Friday night, po.-f. aying Hie
Alaska story, "The Spoilers". It was
a nine reel show, and was appreciated
by those present. The nerve rei.iiied
by a manager to incur the etra ex
peso for such showr., under pru.tcnt
business conditions is the kiuJ tiiat
makes the wheels of progress go
round.

Check Case Appealed
The justice case of C. T. Fietfcr vs
John Humble, tried beforo a jury in
Handon, Feb. t!(!tli, has been appealed
to the circuit court. It appears that
Humbles was appointed by the sherill'
of Coos county to have charge of the
Handon Woolen mill while that place
was under attachment last December.
C. T. Fiegers was employed to do the
name work and under .Mr. Humble
and nobody seems to be able to tell
who was responsible for hiring him.
Consequently when Humble was sviit
a check in payment for Humble'M ser
vices, I'ieger could not find anyone
willing to pay him and accordingly at
tached the check beforo Kumhhi re
ceived it. The ciiKo wim decided by
the jury in favor and the appeal will
