No. Gl. ROSEBURG Oakland Physician Passed Away last Saturday FINAL ILLNESS ONLY TWO DAYS Heart Ailment the Cause Prominent in fra ternal Circles and Kept Up His Work to the last Dr. W. C. Clllniour, a prominent and highly esteemed physician of Oakland, died at the home of Mr. and Mrs. U. E. Vernon In that city Saturday afternoon, May 9, 1914, af ter a hrief illness, from heart trouble, at the age of a little more than 54 years. He is survived by his son, Wesley B. Gllmour, who, with his wife and little child, lives at The Dalles, Ore gon. Ills father, John Gllmour, and u brother and a sister live at Colusa, Cal., another brother lives at Eureka, Cal., and a sister, Mrs. O. L. Suther lin, lives at Oakland, Oregon. His son arrived in Oakland from The Dalles on Saturday morning, and his father reached there from California Saturday afternoon, about half an hour after Dr. Gilniour's death. The hitter's wife died at Oakland several years ago, and for the past two or three years he had made his home with Mr. and Mrs. Vernon. For the past year Dr. Gilmour had been in poor health from a heart ail ment. He went about his usual duties, however, and did not admit that he had any real apprehension as to his condition until he hud a severe attack on Sunday, April 20, while Mrs. Vernon was in attendance at the I. O. O. F. celebration at Myrtle Creek. He told her of this the next day and that he had contemplated calling Dr. Walnscott to treat him. He then went on about the same as before, and last Wednesday attended the Odd Fel'ows' lodge as usual, al though he was feeling distressed and remarked his dread of climbing up the stnirs to the lodge room, on ac count of the weakness of Ills heart. Mr. Vernon kindly suggested that perhaps he would better not go to lodge that night. Dr. Gilmour looked wistfully at the cheerful fire In the fireplace for a few moments and then said: "Well, I think I'll go tonight," but prophetically added, "It may be the last time." Keeling worse the next day, he and his sister prepared to go to Portland on the afternoon train for the purpose of consulting a specialist. Before the train reached Oakland, however, he became bo ill that he retired to his bed, where he died 48 hours later, despite the con stant attendance of Dr. Walnscott. Dr. Gilmour was born near Toron to, Canada, on March 25, 1SC0. He came to Oakland with his wife and little son from Paisley, Oregon, about 23 years ago, and had very success fully practiced his profession there as physician and surgeon nearly ever since. In this work lie was long asso ciated with the late Dr. E. .1. Page, both gaining a wide circle of friends there, ns well as throughout the county and state. Dr. Gilmour was very active in fraternal circles, being a member of the Odd Fellows. Masonic, Woodmen and W. O. W. Circle lodges In Oak land, and the II. P. O. F.Iks, and En campment branch of the Odd Fel lows In Roseburg. He was also for many years a member of the I. O. O. F. Grand Lodge of Oregon, and was Grand Marshal of that body for the year 1912-13, and officiated in that THE BIG ?Bndi vilh your foot TRADE MARK CHALLENGE SALE GO 9th day of Great Sale past--14 more of strenuous selling Make This Store Your Headquarters for the Circus Parade, Tuesday, Our Rest Room is Open to You C3 office at the last annual session at Medford In May, 1913. He was for many years the secretary of the Oak land lodge of Odd Fellows, and was faithful in his attendance to the last regular 'meeting night during his life time, as heretofore noted. He had been secretary of the Woodmon of the World lodge there nearly ever since its organization, and was banker for the SV. O. W. Clrclo. After the death of his wife, Dr. Gllmour sold his residence property in Oakland. He owned a 10-acre fruit tract In Sutherllu Valley and was much Interested in what is said to be a valuable mine in Trinity County, California. He and W. A. Taylor, of Hoseburg, had planned to leave on May 20, for that place to look after their mining Interests. He also expected to benefit his health by going to that higher altitude. As to the latter, however, his profes sional knowledge admonished him that his case might take a critical turn at any time, and these misgiv ings were noted in a letter which he wrote to his father a few days before his death. The funeral was held at 2 o'clock this afternoon In the I. O. O. F. hall at Oakland, where he was accorded 'all the honors of the order which he Iliad served so faithfully for nearly 23 years, and In which he was al ready looking forward to the expect ed honor of wearing a 25-years vet eran jewel. A number of members of the order from Roseburg and 'elsewhere were In attendance at the funeral, as well as members of the Elks, Masons and other fraternal , orders to which he belonged. The ' very large attendance at the funeral by people from Oakland and the sur i rounding country evidenced the very ! high esteem in which ha was held in ; the community where he had lived j for nearly a quarter of a century. In his death the town, county and state ! lost a good citizen, an able practi I tioner and a man who did ninny ' things for the benefit of humanity. Heing thus suddenly cut down nt least 20 years before what would seem to be his allotted time, this loss will be all the more keenly felt and widely regretted. Jack Heck, of the Sells-Floto Shows, was here to conclude nr- ' rangeinents for the circus here to morrow, which will take place for I the first time on the west side of the river in liellows' grove. Mr. Heck was formerly a partner of W. II. llowden, the local cigar manufactur er, and incidentally they had a pleas ant visit together. R. E. Mieth, of the Portland Bridge Co., builders of the structure across the river at Oak street In this city, is In town from Portland today confering with the County Court in regard to some more bridge work that will be done in the near future.

NEW YORK, May 11 With Presi dent Wilson as chief mourner, more than one million peoplo turned out ; today to honor the memory of the 17 bluejackets and marines who were j killed during the capture of Vera Cruz. The streets through which ! passed the rumbling caissons on which the flag draped coffins rested 'were filled with dense crowds with , bnred heads, banked on either Bide, j Up Broadway the procession moved j to the city hall. There Mayor Mit ;cheil, who was deeply affected, made a speech and laid a giant wreath : of orchids and bay leaves on one of the caissons. "The people of New I York," said the Mayor, "pay their solemn respects to these heroes dead. , To their stricken families the loss is irreparable Notliiug we can Bay or do can mitigate their Borrow. But to :the American people these men'B , loyalty and sacrifice has given a new inspiration. They gave their lives not to war, but to the extension of peace. The highest tribute we can pay is a renewed pledge of loyalty to the Na tion." I A detachment of the First Artillery 'of the New York National Guards was waiting at Hie Battery with 17 draped caissons, but it was the blue jackets who lashed the coffins upon them. Finally tho battleship Wyom ing's band struck up the Star Spangled Banner, and President Wtl ,boii and Secretary Daniels appeared ;and the procession started up Broad , way. It moved slowly, and following i the Wyoming's and Montana's massed hands playing "Old Hundred" came the caissons, a coffin on each. The President's carriage, surrounded by Secret Service men, followed the caissons. After it came the carriages of Secretary Daniels and a score of other notables. All hats wero raised and the bells of Old Trinity and St. ttitffg-aaB a.vrvf Shoes, Munsing Underwear, YORK STORE Overalls, Eiffel Hosiery, Groverg Shoes for Tender Feet Paul's churches tolled ns the cortege passed. , The navy yard ceremonies were very Impressive. Following Secre tary Daniels, President Wilson said in part: I "I know the feelings of all who stand about me and of. tho whole Nation at this hou(. They are feel ings which are not expressible in terms of oratory. As for myself, I have a singular mixture of feelings. The uppermost feeling is one of pro found sorrow that these lads had to go to their death. Next to this is a feeling of pritle, and If 1 may say so, a touch of envy for those who were permitted to do their duty so quietly, so nobly." it was nearly noon when the bugler sounded taps. The President, Dr. Grayson and Secretary Tumulty entered their automobilo and were taken to Manhattan. The coffins re mained for 30 minutes on the parade grounds, and were then taken to the naval barracks preliminary to being sent to the dead men's homes. MISS ETHEL QUE WILL BE QUEEN OF THE 1914 STRAWBERRY CARNIVAL ! The contest for queen of the Straw berry Carnival closed Saturday even ing at 8:30, with Miss Ethel Qulne proclaimed as the sixth in the line of sovereigns who have ruled the annual festival. A largo and inter ested crowd gathered In front of the Red Cross Pharmacy, where the re sult was finally announced. Queen Ethel Is the daughter of Sheriff G. K. Quine, and the many courtiers who worked with ardor throughout tho campaign of tho last three weeks to win for her the coveted honor, have given the city, all agree, a most beautiful and gen erous queen. A Btrong contender .who ran a close race and was looked iupon ns a probable winner up until several minutes before the last count of votes, was Mlsa Mabel Miller. She withdrew at this time on account of a feeling that the committee had done an Injustice in the handling of votes. However, what she thought of the action of the committee, was not shown In her manner towards her successful rival! as It had been agreed that whoevor finally won, the defeated candidate would servo as her maid. The last count gave Miss Qulne 791,G."iO votes and Miss Miller 446,800 voleB, Although there was considerable held in reserve In tho event the contest went on to the end. About 1000 carnival hats and Boveral thousand pennant pins were sold as a result of the efforts of the two con testants to obtain votes. Photo copyright. 1914, by American Press Association.

Corsets THE STORE THAT SERVES YOU BEST ES Ready to Meet Roseburg in Railroad Movement WILL PROYIDE A LARGE FUND Messages Slate $400,000 Can be Raised by the Coos County Towns, Which Would Assure Success Marshfield people and thoso of the other Coos County towns are enthu siastic over the Hoseburg movement for a railroad to the coast, so Chair man J. W. Perkins, of the local com mittee, reports. Phone messages re ceived by him from there the past two days give assurance that Rose burg's proposed $300,000 will ho met by an aggregate of probably J 400, 000 from Marshfield, Coqulllo, Myr tle Point und elsewhere. Such enthu siasm and support would assure the building of this railroad, beyond any question. Committee meetings have already been held in Marshfield on this matter and a big public meeting la scheduled for this week. Mr. Per kins will probably go there at that time and will also visit the other points euroute. It is evident that the peoplo are In earnest this time about I the biUldiug of this railroad, and ! with the united efforts from the two ! counties, its success could not be questioned. t Locally the attorneys will rush the ! work of preparing the necessary i papers for getting the bond Issue movement in practical working con Idllion. This Is an enormous task (and every detail must be cnrofully attended to. Every act will be most j fully scrutinized by the best bond at torneys In the United States, and nil must he done with tho utmost care. WAS YOU THERE I,AST NIGHT? There was at tho Majestic last night the best show of the season and nt a prlre that would fit anyono'B pocketbook. The house was packed nnd everybody went away laughing and satisfied with the rapid fire jokes of Budd and Irving. There was not an old joke or a song In tho show. Tho La Farra Sistors held the audience spellbound with their Texas Tommy and Spanish dunces ON 'uaiiiifo and songs.

NATIONAL COMMITTEEMAN. One of the most Important offices, from a party standpoint, to be filled at the primary election next Friday Is National Committeeman. This Is the first time the voters have hud an opportunity to select this office. Hon. W. II. Canon, of Medford, one of the candidates for this office, was in Roseburg Saturday Interviewing ns many Democrats as he could see. He bus resided at Medford about eight years. Ho has been untiring, uuceus-j Ing und unselfish In his work lor his party. He has cheerfully given his time to his party's needs. He has shown his freedom from factional ism by ungrudgingly and without ex pense to the candidates circulating the petitions for nominations of all candidates. Ho has always shown himself to bo a true, sincere nnd loyal Democrat by doing his best to afford every aspirant for party and political honors to get his name be fore the voters on equal terms with ull other candidates. Aftor the pri maries he has done his very best to make his party victorious. His only competitor Is a Portland man. Our state chairman Is a Port land man. It Is universally conceded that our party'B csubo will be ad vanced by having the Important party offices distributed geographi cally. The varied Interests of our party in the different parts of our state can be better served by having for its mnuagerB citizens of different sections of our state. We hope that all of the Democrats in Douglus County will voto for W. H. Cunon for National Committeeman. CARNIYAI, QUEEN CONTEST.

Tho three original kinds of straw berries are the American strawberry, the Chilean strawberry and tho Euro pcnn strawberry. The European strawhorry waB the first to become cultivated. It Is found In Western Asia, Eastern North America, aud the temperate part of Europe. It waB first cultivated In tho fifteenth cen tury. Tho Amerlcnu strawberry was first found in Northeastern Unltod Stutes and In Canada. It was Intro duced Into Englund In 11)211. The Chilean strawberry wns first found In Chile aud in California. It was in troduced Into Franco In 1718. All of these strawberries are crossed with other varieties. The Btrawberry belongs to the rose family. It is a perennial plaat. The botanical name for the American strawberry is Frngaria Vlrglniana, of the Chilean strawberry, Fragaria chllensls, nnd for the European strwberry, Kragaria vesca. All strawberries were once wild. They have been made their present sue by much crossing of varieties and careful cultivation. Most garden strawberries aro derived from the Chilean strawberry, I prefer tho wild strawberry be- causo It Is so Juicy and Bwect, oven though It Is Bmallcr than the culti vated oucb. Roseburg should have n strawber ry carnival each year because It ad vertises Roseburg In a way that noth ing else could do; It enriches our city and increases the population; ft shows that Douglas County Is a noted strawberry region, and that we ap preciate this and wish to make It known. Thero came near being a serious runaway Saturday evening near Green, when the horse driven by MrB. i-'red Keener became frightened nnd daHhed along the road, throwing her aud her two-years-old baby to the ground. Taking care to protect the child, MrB. Itonner exposed herself to Injury, but escaped with nothing more scrlouB that several bad bruises. Tho baby was only slightly scratched on the face. However, It will be necessary for Mrs. Rentier to remain In bed for Homo time. Dr. Stewart, who was called, found her resting, easy today. The buggy was badly wrecked when It strtirk n telephone pole, after Its occupants had been pitched out. The accident occurred on tho Pacific Highway near the Green store, while they were going toward home, which Is on the river about a mile northwest of Green. Mrs W. L. Smith was over from Winchester today. $50,000.00 Umpqua Power, Ice and Development Co. IN(X)Ill'OUATEl) Desires to Inform the citizens of Roseburg that the company Is Issuing 15-yeur 6 gold bonds.
