Modern Woodmen of America
Adopt Large Class at
North Bend.
The Modern Woodmen of America
were in full possession of North Bend
last evening and adopted a class of
thirty-five new members in Eckhoff
hall. Fifty members of the Marsh
field camp were with the North Bend
camp and took part in tho adoption
exercises. Quite a number of Wood
men from Coquille also took part. It
Is said that the adoption exercises
were very Impressive and Mr. Smith,
the well known dancing master, is
entitled to great credit for the man
ner in which he drilled his team.
After the adoption exercises the
Marshfleld camp united to participate
in an elaborate lunch arranged at the
Hotel Oregon for the occasion. Speech
making was indulged in and a season
of feasting and merriment was en
joyed. The order is evidently on tlje
boom on Coos Bay. fl
The occasion was a joint adoption
by the Marshfleld and North Bend
lodges of the Modern Woodmen of
America, and the celebration of the
silver anniversary of the order, which
was commenced twenty-flve years
ago. The joint adoption was called
to order by Venerable Counsellor
Monroe, who invited Jhe following
Marshfleld officers to take seats with
the North Bend officers: Francis H.
Clarke, venerable counsellor; A. M.
Prentiss, w. a.. D. A. Jones, clerk;
A. L. Foster, barber; W. N. Eckblad,
escort; E. Banderob, watchman; O.
O. Lund, post consul; Aug. Frlzeen,
deputy; G. N. Bolt, manager, F. J.
Hayes, C. H. Walter, Duncan McMil
lan, A. W. McKay, C. S. Dodge and
Frank Sweet, of Acme., Ore., were al
so present.
Charles J. Scalpe. Emll Ogren, R.
Monteith, H. A. Browne, G. A. Han
son, George Ramberg and W. J. Mor
row were candidates sent clear
through their degrees.
The band of the North Bend Wood
men met the visitors from this city
and Coquille at the wharf, accom
panied by the degree team in uni
form, and escorted them from the
launches Merrlmac and Messenger
to the lodge quarters. After the
adoption was concluded, which was
about 12 o'clpck, Francis H. Clarke
gave a talk on Woodcraft, and Ned
C. Kelly of tho Coquille lodge also
spoke.
After the speech making the entire
gathering adjourned to tho Hotel
Oregon where a sumptuous repast
was served, tho assembly bringing to

NORTHERN PAC.
MAY BE FIRST
Local Engineer Believes Hill's
Coast Line Will Beat Drain
Railroad.
Sentiment on Coos Bay regarding
railroad construction is to the effect
that the Northern Pacific will be
running trains into this city before
the Southern Pacific road between
this point and Drain is completed.
This Is the firm conviction of a num
ber of men who claim to be on the
inside regarding the work of sur
veyors who have been on the coast
between this point and Seaside, at
the end of the Northern Pacific road
on the coast of Oregon,
"I know for a fact," said Engineer
Charles Codding, this morning, at tho
chamber of commerce, "that the Nor
thern Pacific has had men in the
field between Siuslaw and Tillamook
for tho past two summers. They
havo been going over the coast
thoroughly lookingfor a good route
for the extension of the road from
Seaside down the ccast to Siuslaw
and to Coos Bay.
"The activity shown by the NoK
thern Pacific on tho Oregon coast is
proof that the assertion recently
made by J. S. Delllnger, of Astoria,
that this company would continue
its road along the coast, is correct.
There Is no doubt that when once the
route has been secured the construc
tion will follow rapidly because the
Northern Pacific rushes matters
when once It starts doing things.
"Meanwhile, tho Southern Pacific
is attempting to corral tho trade be
tween this port and Portland by put
ting on extra boats and with consid
erable success. The Czarina is to be
put on the run with tho Breakwater
so as to secure all tho freight pos
sible and to hold tho field for this
railway extension to bo completed
from Drain to Coos Bay.'
CHANGE GAME LAWS.
Myrtle Point Paper Thinks the Open
Duck Season Should Ho
Altered.
Many sportsmen of Coos, county
are quite heartily In favor of a
change in the duck season. They
complain that It opens too early and
closes too early. It is said that
there is a considerable breeding of
ducks in this section and the season
opens so early that the young ducks
aro submitted to slaughter before
they havo any sense of self-preservation,
and the season might well bo
open later, because tho birds do not
require as early protection as Feb
ruary 1, when tho season now closes.
It opens tho first of August. A
month later on each end of tho sea
son would be much better. Myrtle

ANOTHER SON
' IS MISSING
Fifth Inquiry Made for Lost
Man in Less Than Six
Weeks.
i - .
Numerous enquiries aro being
made for sons in this section and
hardly a week goes by that some
mother does not send to Coos Bay In
search of a son who was last heard
of In this place. The latest Is an
enquiry from Mr. and Mrs. J. S.
Campbell, of Norden, Neb., who have
not heard from their son Arthur
D. Campbell since last September,
when he was working at a local lum
ber camp. The letter was received by
Rev. W. R. F. Browne, of the Meth
odist Episcopal church:
Norden, Neb., Dec. 31. 1907.
"Dear Bro. We have a son away
from home. He wrote us from your
city about Sept. 1st, and we answered
the letter about the last of Septem
ber, and the letter was returned to us
uncalled for. He said he was work
ing in the timber. We aro very anxi
ous about him. Wo thought perhaps
if anything happened to him you
"might know it. He will be 23 years
old next February if he lives. His
name Is Arthur D. Campbell
Kindly enquire every place you think
It would be possible to get a clue as
to where ho is. We would be glad
to pay any expense that is incurred.
We remain
Youre truly,
MR. AND MRS. J. S. CAMPBELL."
This makes at least five enquiries
for lost persons in this county within
the past six weeks, and there appears
to be something radically wrong
somewhere. If the same number
were missing from every spot in the
United States in the same length of
time, nearly every citizen of the
union would be lost inside of a year.
It is thought that most of the men
missing at this point have written to
their parents, but owing to the con
dition of the mail service tho an
swers havo been delayed or lost al
together. Another feature of the
missing sons Is that In nearly
every caso they wero last
heard of as working in tho log
ging camps, and In that caso they do
not have writing desks provided for
their use, and it may bo that they be
came slack in their correspondence.
