That the light rainfall of the pres ent month Is far out of the ordinal' may be learned by turning back over the flies of the records, which re veal the average precipitation of October to be 3.69 inches. The greatest downpour of any October a-as in 1882, when 11. G3 inches of rUn fell. Records on file show tnat the lcjny season usually begins about the middle of October. From then on until In the spring fair days are far In the minority. However, It is often cloudy when no rain occurs, ami again the precipitation Is fre quently in the tdrm of mist. Tele gram.

TALKS TO SPOUSE t BY COURT ORDER Chicago Ulan I'lepares Speech Which ' Spouce Does Xot Appreciate. , Chicago, Oct. 25, Adolph Fleld jOr, who was ordeied by Judge Cle land to talk to I1I3 wife for half an hour each day, or appear .in the courts and converse with her three hours has submitted to the thirty minute part of the order. But Mrs. Fielder does not approve of the man ner In which he converses with her. She complains that her husband Mrs. Owens, of St. Louis, who has been visiting with relatives in Co- quillc, was one of the number of paLsengers who left on the last Eliza beth. Atty. G. T. Treadgold left this morning for Coqullle on business connected with tho county seat. Albert Harman, charged with maliciously cutting a seine in the Coquillo river, was discharged yes terday by Justice of the Peace Geo. P. Topping, who decided there was no wantonness nor malice shown. Mis. J. M. Upton, of Marshfleld, is visiting with Capt. White's family. Little Thomas is reported considera bly better. A new shlnglehiill is being erected on the Parker place below Parkers burg. Warren Parker and J. E.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE DISCUSSED HIGH SCHOOL The chamber of commerce met last evening and considered several matters of importance, but owlnu to the absence of the chairmen of the committees It was decided to dis- lose of only the most pressing busi ness. The proposition to extend Fiont street across several unnlat- nomlcal bounds. Aside from tho cost of a building and its furnishing, the expense would bo surprisingly low. For the next few years it would bo necessary to employ only two, or nt most, three additional teachers, and the laboratory equipment for the present need not cost more than $1000. Our Increased and Increasing assessment roll would cover this easily, in addition to providing the necessary growing common school demands, without perceptible in crease In taxation. Another matter that should engage the attention of the public immedi ately, is the enlarging of the school district to take in East Marshfleld, and the Bay City Mill, and the Smith Co's. new Mills. With the starting of the free ferry this would give to these communities the advantages of the high school, while they might still retain their primary and grammar schools as at present, but all under the one supervision, and in one edu cational unit. Thrso are all questions that should' be discussed freejy and openly. It Is hoped that all, both pro and con, will turn out and express their views that none may say the mntter was cut and dried. Let the people come out, not a mere dozen or so, to settle these important questions. Whatever is done, lot Marshfleld take her proper position educationally. F. H, Golden.

Sho wants him to talk to her like ho used to when their courtship was In progress, twenty years ago, when he talked with hi3 eyes as well as his lips. According to Fielder he was a fluent talker before his wife foiced him to give up drinking. Fielder thinks there is nothing in the con stitution that compels a man to talk to his wile if ho dosen't want to, but says: "I would rather talk to her half an hour at home thnu three hours in the presence of tho judge,' so I will obey his oiders, and nm preparing a seiles of convoca tions which 1 am sure she will enjoy."

A large and -well equipped company Is boring for oil near town, nnd there Is a growing fever of excitement on account of tho increasing evidence of a prou able successful result and of real or assumed fear on tho part of tho company that its secrets may leak out. The oil company has erected -a high board fence around its wells nnd its huge tanks and everywhere . tho words "Keep Out" staro the visitor In tho face. The Telegram correspondent wns interviewed by an agent, of tho com pany to assure him that no oil had yet been found, and to seek to allay the excitement being aroused by the uttlvity of tho oil company. "What are thoso big tanks for, then?" wns asked. "Thoso," replied tho ropresenta tie, "aro for n purpose, but they nro not to hold oil!" The fact that tho members of this company aro putting their own mon ey Into tho prospect nt Valo and no one olse enn get in, is a sufficient Kunranteo that thero is something in sight worth hiding and holding. They have beon working double shifts recently. committee of three to confer with a committee already appointed by the "North Bend chamber of commerce, as follows: Chairman Eugene O'Con rell, J. W. Bennett and Henry Seng stacken. Considerable discussion also occur red in regard to the four years hich school on which the people will vote on the 31st Inst. The concensus of opinion was that a four ears higu school was necessary to maintain the ciedit of the city and the hope was expressed that every citizen ol Marshfield would vote at tho elec tion. Some talk was had in regard to organizing a committee to make special efforts to induce the voters to get out and vote so as to make the vote as large as possible. widely established; I cause our styles are always accepted as authorltively correct; because our prices aro lower than you pay for suits of equal all around merit in other houses as has been proven in almost innumerable instances.

FARMERS SHOULD LEND AID FOR EXHIBIT The committees appointed by the Chamber of Commerce for the pur pose of gathering the apple display for the Portland exhibit, tay they aro obliged to depend upon the pat riotism of the farmers of Coos and Coquillo rivers in order to gather such an exhibit as should be sent out. As an instance, one of tho com mittee said yesterday that It would bo impossible for tho committee to go out into tho highways nnd byways and hunt up tho apples, and that this trouble could be saved if tho farmers would take an Immediate interest in tho matter and bring one or two box es of tho very best apples they have. Another mntter to be considered by tho committee is this; few farmers can send in more than one or two boxes, and thus it is best to have the farmers volunteer to do the work and bring in tho apples, for which they will be paid for at good prices. Tho apples aro wanted not later than noxt week nnd tho sooner tho better, for early arrivals will aid tho commit tee in expediting thoir work. It Is hoped to make nn exhibit which will not bo put In the shndo by. apples from any other part of Oregon, and tho fnrmors aro tho ones under tho circumstances, who can make tho mnttor a success or a failure I. 0. 0.
