I Judge Walter Bordwell, of Depart ' ment No. 9 of the Superior Court of Los Angeles county, Calif., who has practically been chosen to preside at the trial of the McNamara brothers, alleged dvnamlters of the Times, is a half-brother of George Marsh, the well known fruit grower of Looking Glass. Judge Bordwell Is one of the oldest Judges In point of experience In Southern California, and up to iai Saturday, when his yearly term ex pired, was the presiding Judge of the Snnerlor Courts of the county.

OtirtiiK the mo n tli of April iat ptibhelty department of tho Commer cial Club mailed out I01,i pieces of mall.. Letters of Inquiry were re ceived from :U fctatt'K, Canada and C'oata Rica. The states sendinR !n the largest number of ImitUries. In ordor, are as followH: Vunliingt(ti, Oregon, California, IIUiioIh. Ohi.i, Oklahoma, Iowa. New York, North Dakota and Canada sent iu about the same number, and tho next Kreutest in order were Minnesota, Michigan, Montana and Wisconsin. From 150 consecutive letters, the preference of the writers Is shown a? follows: 4ii made general in quiries, 30 asked about general farm ing, 15 about homestead lands. 2' about fruit hinds, about poultry. for truck farms. H for dairy farms. It for stock farms. It In regard to bee raising, 2 about hogs. Among other inquiries there were four relative to investments, i asked for employment, S asked for local papers. 7 for the names of reliable real estate men. r. for maps, 4 about business openings, and 2 wished to rent farms. The following trades and profes sion ' were represented In the list of inquiries: Jeweler, engineer, carpen ters, carriage, painters, cement con tractor, cement block mnnul'aeturet', electriciun, blacksmith, photographer, lawyers, grocers, teachers. Among the trades offered for Doug las county lands were hind In Alber ta, Canada, a hotel in Idaho, and residences In Arizona and Salt Lake City. In the Vnest Ion lto. Inquiries relative to milts and logging camps nre frequent, and several asked about the rate or tax ation. One inquiry was for a car load of cheap apples. t Some of the other Inquiries are as 'follows: "Is fruit growing an established liuluslry fu your valley?" "Have you good, honest people there, and of what na tionality?" "What business opening would there be for a man txperlenced in laying brick walks and brick pav ing?" "Could h woman pastry cook Hud a position?" "How many fruit trees are planted in Douglas coun ty?" "Do the people of llosobitrg want a railroad from there to the coast?" "Would Koseburg be a good place to come to start a board ing house?" "Has the Commercial Club any farms Tor sale?" "Are Oregon flowers detrimental to the quality of honey?" Three said they would like to por ch as? bearing orchards. A not her said: "The snow covered the ground In Ohio on tho :!rd day of April, nnd I nm looking for a place where It don't snow In April." Another Raid. "We dont want any high priced land, costing from $."0 up. We want, to buy cheap land." Another said he lost his position in Sunnysidc, Wash., because the fruit was all killed there last ye:ir. One asked for hit'onua t in about Knurlim g mid .lu.sephinc county. One until asks a very super ficial question, "Are the lawyers lliete making money'" During the month there were rep resentatives ol Oi tumtltcs called at the Commercial Club rooms, from 11 ti liferent states. Most or' these peo ple ciime to Koseburg with a view of investing and locating here, and quite a mini her nf them have already purchased tracts in this community. A few reports we are receiving state that the writers are busy putting iu crops, and therefore had delayed writing. On account uf the crop planting period, which is general throughout the I'nited States. the number of Inquiries has not been as large during (lie past month as usinl. Letters were received from nine families, slut ing that t hey expected lo come to Konehurg within a reason able time to locate. irrespective ot the fact that there has been many houses built in Kose burg the past year, there Is still a demand for houses, and at least one fa in I ly did not locate in Itoschurg dining the month because a suitable house could not be secured. knocker Art llusy. Ilnseburg unfortunately has otie or two citizens who make u practice or discouraging people who come here to locate, because the newcomer does not happen to be interested in the particular piece of property lliey oi ler for sale. It is reported that at least, three families left Koseburg during the past month becaithe one or two of Koseburg's citizens encour aged them to go elsew hero rat her than have them make a deal through patties other than llienelves. About the only effect these knockers have on the average man Is to cause him to decide not to do any business with them, but there are a few timorous people who are ready to believe any thing evil thai is told them of any community, and therefore failed" to locale here, although in all oilier re spects the) would bo most, excellent ciii.ens. The Portland Real Kslale .Mens Association b;:s iecetiM undertaken met hods to su p press I he cu rhst one knockeis. and in this language ot one of the leading real estate men, they "expect to put. a bell on all these people," It would be a very good thing lor HoseVii'g if similar meth ods were adopted here. KuihIh of the publicity department have been Increased, ami Koseburg will enjoy considerable nunc pub licity the remainder of this year than It has formerly. There is every e i deiice that Koseburg wilt continue to grow as materially this year as It lias in the preceding two. and with the extensive Improvements already ar ranged for completed, will present us inviting an appearance to the pros pective liorneseeker as tiny little city in America.
