"BAWL" ROOM
Deacons Start Baby Annex in
Order to Bring the Mothers
to Service.
HARTFORD, Conn., April 10.
Salvation nnd soothing syrup will go
hand In hand, if the plan of the
Memorial Baptist church meets with
the success which Its originality de
serves. The deacons of the church
have noticed a falling off In the num
ber of married women who attend
service, care of babies in almost
every lnbtance being given as the
cause. With the approval of a ma
jority of the congregation, the
church has now decided to open n
baby bureau, where the infants may
be checked while tho mother gets
divine consolation.
"Come and bring the babies with
you. We'll see that they get the
best of care and that you get the
right ones back."
This is, in substance, tho Invita
tion that has been sent to every wo
man of family in tho congregation.
Fond papas who have had to do a
little road work with the baby, it
tho mothers did take a chance on
leaving the deers to their care, are
considering tho advisability of hold
ing a mass meeting to publicly con
gratulate the deacons on the splendid
idea.
It has been decided that the
"bawl" room shall be in a remote
part of tho basement, where the
youngsters can turn on the lung
power without disturbing the wor
shippers overhead. On presenting
her baby at tho door each mother
will receive a check, tho duplicate of
which will be attached to little Tom
my or Nellie, as the case may be.
The women of tho congregation will
take turns presiding over the safety
pin section, and a philanthropic old
gentleman has promised to supply
the new department with plenty of
fresh milk and rubber hose.
"It will work splendidly," said a
maiden lady "unless those children
get quarrelling and pull tho Identi
fication tags off each other. Then
think of tho Job we would have sort

Large and Continual Increase
in Receipts More Money
for Salaries Here.
The rapid growth of Marshfleld
and Coos Bay Is shown by the an
nunl report which Postmaster W. B.
Curtis Is compelled to pay part of
Postofllce Department. The post
office receipts are probably the best
indicators of a growth or a city, the
amount of postage and business
necessarily varying with the actual
population.
The growth the past six months
has been so rapid that the postofllce
receipts for the three months Impic
diately following the holidays were
greater than for the three months In
which the immense holiday 'business
was included.
The growth has been sufllcient to
secure an Increase in salary of $300
per annum for Postmaster W. B.
Curtlss, raising his annual lncomo
from $2,000 to $2,300. In addition
to this, It insures tho securing of
an appropriation for hiring an addi
tional clerk for the local office aftor
July 1st. At present, Postmaster
Curtlss is compelled to pay part of
the cost of one of the clerks out of
his own salary.
Tho following are the quarterly re
ceipts for the periods indicated, the

DISAPPEARS
BEAUTIFUL AND DEEP PERME
LIA SUDDENLY DROPS OUT OF
SIGHT IX CASCADE MOUN
TAIXS AND PHENOMENA PUZ
ZLES .MANY INVESTIGATORS.
SALEM, Ore., April 10. Ono ot
the strangest phenomena that has
transpired In tho western section of
Oregon in years, Is tho suddon and.
unexpected disappearance of what
was formerly known as Permolla
Lako, an immense and seemingly
bottomless body of water, cold as ice,
and as clear as a crystal, which onco
existed on tho topmost peak of what
aro known ns tho Bunch Grass Moun
tains, In tho Cascado range. All that
Is loft of that once flno body of
water, according to report, Is a groat
crevasse In the apparently solid rock
of the bottom, and tho decayed re
mains of tho flsh Jiat abounded in
tho crystal wnters.
Permella Lako was about a half
inllo wide and two mile long. The
source of its supply of water, asldo
from tho melting snow, has nevor
been discovered, neither hns an out
let to tho Inko ever heon found, but
it was supposed to have discharged
Its surplus flow underground, swell
ing the volume of the flow of tho
Santlnm river.
Nows of Its sudden disappearance
was brought to this city by Tom
Smith, Deputy Game and Forestry
Warden for this county, who resides
in Stayton, and the Information was
brought to him by some miners who
quite recently camo out of tho "dig
gings" In the vicinity of the formor
lako. No confirmation, howover, has
boon found thut cangive a satisfac
tory explanation of tho alleged mys
terious clrcumstanco.
