CHAUTAUQUA GROUNDS, Gladstone
Park. July 18. (Special.) The glare of
fireworks lighting up a clear sky tonight
proclaimed to oOOO people that the 15th
annual session of the A'illamette Valley
Chautauqua Assembly was near an end.
The week-days' entertainment ended to
night, but tomorrow there will be the
usual religious services, and Bishop Mc
lntyre, of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, will preach at 2 oclock.
The day has been a great success and
the record for any day's attendance dur
ing this session has been broken. The
auditorium was packed this afternoon to
hear Bishop Mclntyre deliver his lecture
on "The Evolution of Abraham Lincoln,"
and the boys in blue were on the plat
form, which was decked with the Nation
al colors.
Many Old Soldiers in Crowd.
Bishop Mclntyre held his audience un
til nearly 4 oclock, despite the furious
cheering from the baseball held. He
spoke particularly of the intense, far
seeing patriotism of the great emanci
pa tor and talked entertainingly on Lin
coln's keen humor, telling some of the
homely tales that never grow old. Bishop
Mclntyre has been a giant among the
Chautauqua lecturers at this session and
is even more popular than John Sharp
Williams, who was heralded as the star
performer.
Patriotic day brought a large delega
tion of veterans of the Grand Army of
the Republic from Oregon City and Port
land, and the old boys, with their fifes
and drums, were the chief features on
the grounds. They held a picnic lunch
at noon.
Many of the headquarters are closed,
though the majority of them will stay
open until tomorrow night, when Chau
tauqua closes. Reunions were held to
day and farewelts were said until next
year.
Indians lit Mother Ooe Role.
The Chcmawa Indian School students
gave a special programme at the Forum
this morning, and the rendition of reci
tations and musical numbers was very
pleasing. Seven little Indian tots gave
a Mother Goose programme that was
amusing. Superintendent Chalcraft di
rected the exercises.
Oregon City, won the baseball cham
pionship this afternoon, defeating - the
Lebanon Cubs hy a score of 13 to 4
Pender was in the box for the Grays and
the clever southpaw scattered his hits and
was a mystery to the Cubs Oregon
City started the game with two home
runs In the first inning, and in the sec
ond canto seven men ran over the plate
illustrating the- worst of the agony. The
local fans were out in force to see the
game.
The kindergarten at Chautauqua has
been a decided success under the super
vision of Miss Elizabeth K. Matthews,
supervisor of the kindergarten training
department of St. Helen's Hall, Assisted
by Miss Rebecca N. Hatton. The pa
yllion erected especially for the kinder
garten by the Chautauqua management
has been appreciated, as it is commo
dious, comfortable and cool. The Congress
of Mothers bavin: established the kin
dergarten this year, meeting with suc
cess, will, it is the hop of the Chau
tauqua patrone, make it a permanent
kindergarten, realizing that it is an ed
ucation, in the development for what is
good, true and beautiful.

The man opened his tipsy eyes and

"Yes," said Dr. Hall; "come and get

"Presbyterian?' queried the lnebrate.
"Yes."' was the answer, somewhat im

Remains of Man Found ia
Lonely Nook.
MURDER COMES TO LIGHT
Corpse Believed to be E. Perdue, of
Spokane Citizens Hint - He
AVas Killed, Because He
Knew of Other Crime.
HILLSBORO, Or., July 18. (Special.)
The remains of a man whose name was
evidently E. Perdue, of Spokane, and who
was murdered in cold blood in a lonely
place In the mountains 28 miles north
west of this city, were found by a 15-year-old
boy yesterday about noon. The
boy was picking blackberries a few yards
away from a deserted cabin . and no
ticed a bad odor. Investigating, he found
the remains of a man in a hole where a
tree had fallen. The body was partially
covered by sticks and clab-boards and
old refuse. The boy returned home and
notified his father, R. E. Neighbor, who
went to the scene and getting a survey
of the place notified the sheriff and cor
oner. Sheriff Hancock and Coroner E. C.
Brown, of this city, went to the moun
tains this morning and held an inquest.
They found the body had been lying in
seclusion for perhaps three weeks and
the face was badly decomposed. Ther
was no possibility of identification so far
as features were concerned, as decom
position was too far advanced. The man
wore overalls but no coat. His skull had
been crushed In by some blunt instru
ment, probably the back of a pole-axe.
In the dead man's pocket were found
two stamped coins the size of a half-dollar,
on which were printed "E. Perdue,
Spokane. Wash., 1907. Another piece of
aluminum contained an eagle with a cir
cle around it made from the same metal.
The two back teeth 0f both the upper and
lower left jaws had been filled with
amalgam. The body was found near the
Burgholder cabin.
The neighbor boy who found the body
says that about three weeks ago or mors
he met a man who was wading the
stream barefooted and who told him that
he was from Spokane. Aside from this,
no one in the entire section seemed to
have known him. That the man was
killed for the purpose of robbery was the
general opinion. It was evident that he
was killed tn the cabin and that his body
was carried to its resting place.
Many, however, think he knew some
thing of a citizen of that section who is
said to have been wanted a few years
ago in California, and who might have
been interested in setting the dead man
out of the way. '
According to the Coroner's ' record the
man was between 25 and 35 years old, 5
feet 10 inches high, dark brown hair,
nearly black, and weighed about 160
pounds: wore No. 9 or No. 10 shoe. One
more mark of identification was a ring
made from a horseshoe nail with a horse
shoe crest. The jury found that he came
to his death by having his skull
crushed by some blunt instrument. -
COAL MINES PROMISE WELL
Coos Bay Properties Developed by
Ii. J. Simpson. .
MARSH FIELD, Or., July 12. (Spe-
c1sJ.1t-Xia mast eitssi!e-:.Ti'orJ'iiow
in progress on Cooe Bay in the way of
development of a natural resource is
the opening of the Lillian coal mine,
which promises to be, when in full op
eration, the largest coal-producing
property on the Pacific Coast.
The mine is owned entirely by L. J.
Simpson, local manager of the Simpson
Lumber Company, and Mayor of North
Bend. It has been estimated by engi
neers that the minable coal under the
800 acres of land could safely be valued
at 832,000,000. Moreover, the coal Is of
ae fine a quality as has been found on
Coos Bay, and is located so that mar
keting is easy and economical.
Besides there are strong signs of
oil and gas. The gas constantly bub
bles up in the waterways on the land,
and In such volume that it Is an easy
matter to confine a quantity of It and
explode it- The gas and oil features,
however, are only secondary, compared
to the coal. In fact, they were only die
covered recently, but will in, all prob
ability, be later developed.
The property of the Lillian mine ex
tends from the banks of Coos River
back some distance. The openings to
the mine are about a mile inland, and
from this point Superintendent Mc
Donald has constructed a railway run
ning to a dumping-place, where the
coal Is loaded on cows, taken down a
canal, constructed for a distance of
3500 feet to the river, and thence to the
city. Large crushers receive the coal
as It Is taken from the mine. Their ar
rangement proves Inadequate for the
amount of coal which will In the future
be 'taken out, so a new plan will be
carried "'but. A locomotive has been
purchased, and will be used to carry
the coal, now transported . on horse
cars. f,rom the mine to the head of the
canal. Later on it is the intention to
build the railroad across Coos River
and on to a point on Coos Bay opposite
North Bend, where the coal can be
loaded on ships.
There are on the property five veins
of coal. Three of these are of suffi
cient size to warrant mining. They
are from 7 to 11 feet In thickness. A
.runway has penetrated one vein sev
eral hundred feet, and another vein
lower down on the slope of the. moun
tain is being opened in the same way.
The coal lies In such a way that the
veins are opened by digging into the
side of a hill, doing away with the
cost of sinking expensive shafts sev
eral hundred feet below the surface.
At no place In the country can coal
be mined as near tidewater as on Coos'
Bay, and of the various mines which
have been opened in this locality none
offer the economical production of the
Lillian mine.
The work of Superintendent McDon
ald In developing the property has been
watched with much interest, and he
gives the assurance that the result of
the labors will not be excelled in the
Coast country.
The Coos Bay people are particularly
hopeful of the coal resources. The fact
that five of the United States torpedo
boats and destroyers recently visited
this port to load coal was taken as an
indication that the Government misht
possibly become interested in Coos Bay
as a coaling station. Consequently, all
developments in the coal line are at
tracting attention.
