W. R. Shull, Who is Visiting
Here, Tells Typical Story of
n Western Development.
Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Shull of Deca
tur, 111., arrived on Coos Bay yes
terday to visit numerous relatives
and friends here and Incidentally to
spend some time In a "coming west
ern city," tho wonderful growth of
one of which recently made them
wealthy. Among tho relatives at
whoso homes they will visit hero are
I. S. Kaufman, Colby Perry, D. Y.
Stafford and J. Montgomery. In ad
tlon to being related to Mr. Kauf
man, Mr. Shull did military service
with him.
Twenty-fivo years ago, or there
abouts, Mr. Shull accompanied Mr.
Kaufman west, going to Spokane,
Wash. Then Spokane was a town of
about 900, had no permanent side
walks in fact was tho crudest kind
of a western village. However, Mr.
Kaufman decided to remain and Mr.
Shull before leaving for the East de
cided to Invest some of his small
Bavings there. Ho bought a ranch
and a small piece of down-town prop
erty, paying $500 for the latter. Time
sped on and Spokane began to grow.
Two houses were erected on the lot
and soon afterwards as tho town
progressed tho two residences
brought In a monthly rental of ?20
each a month, or ?40 for the two.
This was a very good income but
as Spokane sped on towards tho
100,000 population mark, which it
now claims to have reached, tho
aluo of the little lot began to go
up. Finally an offer of $15,000 was
made for it and Mr. Shull accepted,
deciding that tho money, with other
Investments he had In Decatur,
would enable ho and Mrs. Shull to
enjoy life for the remainder of their
years by traveling.
Mr. Shull was identified with one
Decatur firm for thirty-five years, al
most continuously.
Kane County Body Makes Sen
sational Report to Illinois
Circuit Court.
CHICAGO, May G. A dispatch to
the Ilecord-Herald from Geneva, 111.,
says:
In Its report to the circuit court,
tho Kane county grand jury said:
"In view of'the present widespread
agitation upon tho saloon question,
this grand jury feels It a duty to re
port that In many cases brought be
loro us a few drinks of liquor have
preceded tho trouble.
"The expenses of this jury, of the
state's attorneys and stenographers,
together with tho court expenses,
which must follow in order to ade
quately punish tho men wo have in
dicted, therefore, apparently flow, In
great measure, from the presence of
saloons open to young men who do
not know how to restrain themselves.
"This grand jury offers no ad
vice, but desires only to call attention
to tho waste of timo and taxes for
caring for petty crime, tho Immediate
source of which seems to be tho open
saloon."

The rush today in the calico
section was something wonder
ful. Four girls were busy all
day long measuring off calico

Calico Counter. Tomorrow
the rush will not be so great,
and closer attention can be
given your wants. Don't fail
to come out early and remain
late. This is the greatest buy

$1.?5 Long Silk Gloves 95c
If we were to estimate the number
of pairs of these long silk gloves sold
by us for today only, we would say the
number would possibly exceed 300
pairs. The exact figures could not be
given until we close the store tonight
and check up our records. 300 pairs!
Think of what a number that is for one
day's selling. Do the hundreds of
women in this vicinity consider this
event an unusual buying time? They
certainly must, and tomorrow will be
just as great in buying opportunities as
today. These gloves are the 16-button
length. Come in white and black, have
double tips, and many stores are retail
ing them at 2.00 tho pair.
