No. 12, mid was witnessed by. a small crowd of people, who for a mo ment were horror stricken nt what appeared to be the immediately im pending death of the girl. It has been the custom of the rail road company to bring the south bound (Iyer, No. 13, into Koscburg. on the main track mid hold No. 12, preparatory to its dispatch, on the side track Immediately adjoining. To this custom is due the close call Miss Bridges hnd Tor her life. As No. 13 was pulling into the depot, the girl stood with her back toward the main track and almost against It, conversing with relatives who were nbout to leave on No 12 for Cottage Grove. When ttie locomotive of the oncoming No. 13 was within 20 feet of her, a bystander who no ticed the girl's peril shouted a warn ing to her, and the engineer in the cab sounded his whistle. She heard not, so absorbed was she in her con versation, and a thrill of horror shot through the onlookers as it seemed that the girl was doomed. Nearer came the locomotive until it was less tlinn five feet from her, when suddenly Mr. (loodinnii stepped from a coach of No. 12, after bidding Miss Bridges relatives good-bye.

No. 12 will from now on stand on the main track preparatory to its depart ii re, while No. 13 will roll In on the siding. Thus, there will be no danger in any person alighting from No. 1 2 being struck by No. 1! while No. 12 in moving 'nit the station will be in full view of persons getting off No. 13. o LOSES KKiHT AltM.

' WASHINGTON, Aua. 30- -Figures of the lumber cut in 1907, com piled by the bureau of the census and the forest service showed the largest total ever reported In the Hutted States, exceeding by over seven per cent the cut reported for 1906, until then the record year. This does not necessarily show a lnrger actual cut than in 1900, for the returns obtain ed last year were more complete than ever before. The figures themselves disclose some interesting facts. In 1907 28.8f0 mills made returns and their production was over 40, 000.000.000 feet of lumber. This is believed to include 95 per cent of the actual cut. In 1900 22.398 mills re ported nbout 37,500,000.000 feet. Since according to these figures near ly 29 per cent more mills reported last year than the year, while the in crease In production was only, a little over seven per cent, It might be thought that the amount actually manufactured must have been great er in the earlier year. The south is the region of great est activity In lumber production, and yellow pine the most important wood, forming 33 per cent of the en tire cut of the country. The cut of yellow pine reported shows an in crease of 13 per cent over that ol 1900. In the Lake stntes the falling off evidenced the waning Bupply of white pine. Michigan, which for many years led all the states in lum ber production, and then gave way to Wisconsin, sank in 1907 from fourth to seventh place, while Wis consin went from third to fifth. Min nesota as late as 1905 held fourth place. Last year It went from sev enth to ninth. It was not until the latter 90's that the south displaced this group -of slates as the most im portant source oi lumuer supply. Since southern pine is abundant in all the Atlantic const states from the Carollnas to Texas, the region as a whole will doubtless maintain its lending position for some years, in spite of the fact that at the present rate the bulk of the timber will be gone in another decade, but In totals of production by Individual states, the leadership has since 1905 been held by Washington. Oregon Hun lncr4ii.se. The figures of production show that during 1907 Washington fell off very decidedly from its huge cut ol lJMUi, while its sister state, Oregon, is credited with a slight increase In its total, hi the early part of the year Washington suffered from a car shortage, and at the end the com bined effect of business disturbance and higher freight rates had brought the industry almost to paralysis Oregon kept up Its cut because of its larger proportion of coastwise and foreign trade. These two states to gether produced more lumber than any two slates in the Union. HOTTKST PLACE OX EARTH. New York Press.

Med- ford's steady growth and apparently permanent prosperity is attracting various enterprises that pertain to a ity, the latest being a streetcar line. Next Monday a special election will be held to decide on the application of F. J. Hlnkeley, of Roseburg, ror a streetcar franchise. The proposed franchise calls for 50 years' duration and car tracks on all the principal streets of the city with Bteam, elec tric, compressed air or other power. The election has provoked a hot fight and If the franchise passes It will bo by a very small majority. The two daily papers of the city are at swords points over the proposition, the Kvenlng Tribune leading the fac tion favoring the franchise, while the Moaning Mall Is at the head of the opposition. The opponents of the franchise claim that It binds the city too much and the holder of the rran rhlne too little and that It would handicap the city In getting other lines, while the supporters or the franchise claim It fully safeguards interests of the city and would not moniHillzp the streetcar service of the ton nd that It Is no nuhterfuy to allow the Pacific A Kastern, le Southern Pacific or any other rail road to use the streets for rallnd purposes.

Cleorgla Harper, the alleged nct ress who has been seen in Kosehurg in "Kast Lynne" on two different oc casions, went broke with her com pany In Marshfletd this week. That her troupe was equal to the emer gency, however, Is shown by the fol lowing dispatch from Marshfleld: Financial depression of the gen uine sort struck the (ieorgla Harper theatrical company, which played last season In Portland and later went touring for vacation money. In Marshlield last week the pay of the players stopped and they were forc ed to spend a Bhort vacation on Coos liny. The late actors and actresses ex emplified the traditional versatility of their kind. Some of the male members of the company converted themselves Into walking advertise ments, roaming the streets In gro tesque costumes, with placards on their backs advising all the people where to go to buy slioes, neckties and corn salve. The reuiale members at least two or them set up In business as clairvoyants and fortune tellers In tents oil the street. The district fair and street carnival prov ed a Godsend to these latter. Judging from the harvest of dimes and quarters the stranded exponents of dramatic art will soon be able to retire from the foot light world. Coos Day has no railroad outlet and there was no chance to ride the brake beams, and It Is too far to walk. There was nothing to do except to turn the ingenuity of their calling in to new channels and get rich gulck. ciRcrrr corirr casks 'ii,i:i. Myrtle 7. Young vs. W. 8. Young; action for divorce.

I A. H. Toledo is superbly conscious j of the honor accorded the city by the gathering of the remnants of the vanishing hosts, and every possible preparation has been made to render the encampment one to be remem bered and' treasured by the visitors as long as life lasts. The Stars and Stripes are floating from many hun dreds of buildings and the principal thoroughfares are decorated as sel dom before. All the hotels have mado arrangements to give the vet erans the best possible care at the lowest cost and many private houses have been thrown open to the en tertainment of the aged men and their white-haired wives. Olticlal headquarters were estab lished today in the Hoody House, where the commander in chief, Chan. G. ilurtou, of Missouri, and the other otllcers or the (IranU Army are in charge.

The formal reception meeting will be held tomorrow evening, at which addresses of welcome will be deliver ed by the governor of Ohio, tho mny- or of Toledo, and the commander of the department of Ohio. Camp tires will be held this even ing, at which many silver-tongued orators of the Unuid Army will de liver nddresses. The parade of the vetoruns will take place on Wednesday. The line of march will be short, as few of the veterans are now able to take part In a long "hike" and automobiles and carriages will be provided for thoso physically unable to play the part of infantry.
