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.

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. The council will last for
some days, according to the Indica
tions, as the Indians are always de
liberate In theso matters and this Is
more than ordinarily Important.
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.

W HELP
DDEDGII
Farmers, Living on Various In
lets, Will Ask County Court
For Aid.
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.
