ADDRESSES EXCELLENT Instructors From Oregon Agricultur al College Entertain Willi .Instructive Talks. Tho Marshfield Chamber of Com merce room was the center of Inter est yesterday from morning until evening and was thronged with sigthseers and admirers of floral and fruit displays. A number of exhibits came in yesterday, among them be ing fruit sent by C. E. Schroeder, who live on tho Coqullle Klver be tween Coqullle and Myrtle Point. The ladles of the city brought In flowers In such profusion that the front part of the room was a great bower of floral representation. There were flowers and flowers, and then some. The fragrance diffused from this display was very enchanting and visitors wondered that such a beauti ful display could be put on exhibi tion at this late time of tho year. Strangers were told that they could find flowers blooming on Coos Bay at any time of the year, and though they were inclined to doubt, they were convinced that such is the fact. President Kerr, Dr. Withycombo and Prof. Lewis arrived from Myrtle Point on the noon train and were preesetn for the afternoon progarm. Professor Lewis gave a long and in teresting talk on fruit raising which was listened to eagerly by the fruit raisers of this section. Dr. Withy combe's address was on dairying and since Mr. Wlthycombo is a farmer himself and understands this topic he Interested his audience through out his discourse. Dr. Wltljycombe Is head of tho government experi mental station at Corvallls and his services are sought continually throughout tho state when matters of an agricultural nature puzzle peo ple in different localities. The Doc tor and his associates have just been attending the county fairs at Grants Pass and Roseburg and are in prime shape to discuss matters of general interest to the farmer. Dr. Wlthy combe's farm In Benton county Is an ideal one and, the experiments con ducted thereon have had a great In fluence in bettering the pursuit of farming in Oregon. One particular thing which the Doctor has demon strated at Corvallls Is the fact that alfalfa can be produced in Oregon, and he has aided its introduction at several places up and down the Will amette valley in connection with as sistance by the Southern Pacific rail road company. Last year, Paul Shoup, of tho freight department of the Southern Pacific, urged the farm ers of the valley to experiment with alfalfa and gave free transporatlon for. fertilized earth from the Cor vallls station. The attempt was made? by a number of farmers along tho railroad and" with success. The com pany furnished experts to Instruct the farmers In planting and care. Dr. Wlthycombe, in his speech, made tho statement that tho box of Gravensteln apples which took the first prize showed that Coos county can compete with any apple growing locality on earth, and said the samp les could not be beaten anywhere. That was a pretty strong statement, yet there are those and they are not few, who aro certain he Is correct. With this favorable comment In mind, It the farmers of this territory do not get Into the Gravenste in business with added vigor they will be missing one of tho greatest profit porduclng pursuits that can be un dertaken on Coos Bay and the Co qullle River. The box of Gravenstelns which was awarded tho first prize and by rea son of that, the Walte prize of twenty dollars, was grown by A. E. Seaman on his Coos River ranch which is near the head of navigation. During the1 day there were many favorable comments made on the ex hibition In general and many said It was by far the best that was ever given in the county. Even Cooa Bay people wondered at some of tho ex hibits and said they did not know that such perfect and good fruit and etables could be grown here.There 'ore those who said they had never scon better displays. An observer wou;a have noticed great Interest among tho ladies at yesterday's ex hibition. They were present in large num'ceiT and aided in arranging tho flowers and other displays. They listened as attentively to the address es both afternoon and evening as did the men, who aro usually supposed to represent all there Is In farming. They contributed largely to tho at tendance in the evening and aided in every manner possible to make the wholo exhibit a success. Mrs. J. T. McCormac was specially helpful to the committee an'd ar-.-andged the floral display. In tho evening the hall was jam med with people to hear Dr. W. J. Kerr, and the rapt attention and an plause ho received Indicated tho fav orable impression he made. There wero many teachers in tho audience Including Prof. Raab and his corps of twelve teachers from North Bend. The audience was made up of people capable of appreciating a lecture. Dr. Kerr, the new president of the State Agricultural College, does not believe tho public and high school systems dovetail with the academies and colleges as they should and his statements as to what should bo ex punged from the public school cur riculum bordered on tho sensational. The public school education he main tained should be complete as far as It goes and without reference to high schools or colleges. It Is more im portant, tho speaker said, to teach tho public school pupil something of tree pruning or of tilling the soil than to teach tho boy or girl com plex fractions, equation of payments, compound proportion or how to ex tract cube root. The exhibits will bo on display to day and those who have not seen them should mako an effort to drop In before tthey aro removed. THE AWARDS. Chamber of Commerce Prizes.

LOSE AFTERNOON GAME Game at, Marshfield Hatt Several Features McKeown Played Star Game in Right. Coqullle and the bay aggregation of ball players divided the laurels on Sunday and each team took a gome. Tho morning game at North Bend went to the combination team of Mar3hfleld and North Bend play ers by the close score of one to noth ing. Jimmy Cowan, who has been In tho backstop position all year, made his debut in the box and suc ceeded in shutting out tho strong team from Coqullle. The game was a hummer In every sense of the word and much crdlt was due Cowan", who allowed them so few hits that they could no': scoro In the seven Innings agreed upon at the commencement of the game. Tho afternoon gamo was played on the Marshfield grounds and for four innings was a good game, but after that Coqullle commenced to draw away and kept the lead to the end, winning out by a score of 7 to 2. There were several good features, among them being the fine work of McKeown In right field, who took five files without an error. Nosier, of . the Coqullle team, made a star catch j of a liner, taking it just before it touched the ground, after a long sprint. Charles Keane, who was playing third base, was doing fine work up to the eighth Inning, when he became rattled and lost a man on a i throw. Ho had the same trouble in the 'ninth, losing Peralta between I second and third. The game was at- t tended by about half the usual crowd which has attended tho league games , and it. is understood ho iu in Marshfield. The game at North! formed the foreign secretary Bend had a good attendance. These v that Japan had the greatest con- games will likely be tho last that ' f idencc that the Canadians will bo played this season, as the would punish those responsible ralnv season will soon be here and i for the attack upon the Japan- there is no certainty of selecting a fair day if tho teams should wish to play more games.

FLATHEAD LANDS TO-BE OPENED Reservation Ready for Appraisers and Indian Commission Will Ho Selected. Helena, Mont., Sept. 1G. Major Bellow, agent of tho Flathead reser vation, received word yesterday from the department at Washington that the work of preparing the Immense reservation for opening ha3 pro gressed far enough so that the work is ready for the appraisement board and instructions were given -that the Indians be notified to select the two members of the commission to which under the treaty, they are entitled. Messengers and riders were at once dispatched to all parts of the reser vation and the Indians will be as sembled In council next week to make their selection of tho men who will represent them on tho board. Tho treaty and the act of con gress authorizing the opening of the reserve provides that the appraise ment board shall consist of five mem bers; of theso the Indians have two, two are chosen from citizens of Mon tana and the fifth Is to be a represen tative of the department at Wash ington. Tho council of the Indians will as semble at the agency some time next week and there will be an Important pow-wow, as tho composition of this board is of great Importance to the Indians.

Tho land Is extremely ertlle and tho opening next year will attract thousands. WANT TO KEEP THE JAPANESE Hawaiian Planters Opposing tho Emigration of Orientals to Canada Hanolulu, Sept. 1G. Tho Barne-son-Hlbberd steamship Indiana sailed from Honolulu for Vancouver Sep tember 6th with 200 or 300 Japanese laborers. The mission of the In diana in taking away Japanese la borers is not looked en kindly by, the plantation Interests and every ob stacle Is put In the way of Us secur ing passengers of this type. Appar ently these efforts have met with some success, for a smaller number of Japanese than wero expected were secured, and theso with difficulty. Th local papers scarcely mentioned the Indiana or her object In tho gen eral policy of undemonstrative oppo sition to her mission. The Japanese government seems also to bo opposed to tho migration of Japanese from hero to British Columbia, for tho consuls here and at Vancouver have Industriously dis seminated stories of difficulties en countered by tho Japanese going from here, both in landing and in se curing employment aftorward. Theso stories have nearly all been proved so untrue, both by newspaper reports from thero and by letters written by Japanese among those who have gone there, that tho Japanese consul hero Is utterly discredited among tho Japanese.

WILL APPEAR WEDNESDAY North Rend and Marshflcld Chambers of Commerce Appointed Dele gated to Plead. There Is a determination on tho part of farmers who live on the vari ous Inlets of the" bay to bring about some mesns of dredging tho inlets so that navagatlon for small gasoline launches may bo clear and thus glvo better access to tho farms and towns on theso Inlets. There aro several of these Inlets which could be dredged with very little work so that freight boats could ply further into tho In terior where there is business for them. Tho farmers hold that tho In lets are highways the same as aro the county roads, and they think as much attention should be paid to keeping them in good shape and as accessible as the county roads. Ken tuck Inlet can be navigated for a certain distance, only at the servico of the tide. The run to Sumner must be made often under the same cir cumstances. To reach Sumner thero must be a transfer and this Is very discommoding, particularly hm people are In a hurry. The matter has been taken up by tho Chambers of Commerce at Marshfield and at North Bend, and tho delegates ap polted will appear before the county court on Wednesday morning for a hearing. The delegates from North Bend aro Clinton Wood and William Evans; front Marshfield, Capt. Harris and Z. T. Slglln. These men will present' the case to the county court and ask for relief of the situation. Their first preference will bo to have a dredger constructed for tho work that can go into tho inlets and cut out a 20-foot channel, one sufllciont for all tho traffic that will bo found on' any of tho Inlets. Failing In this, they will ask for an appropriation for dredging, and will, In case It Is allowed, find a man who will build a dredge and od the work. This is a matter which has been talked for a long time, and tho Interested part ies now feel that It Is tlmo for action of some -sort. AID FOR TELEGRAPHERS.
