Salary of Coos Bay Minister
Raised Against His Wishes
Many Boquets.
PORTLAND, Ore., May 25. Wm.
Horsfall made i very touching and
loudly applauded address before the
annual session of the Oregon Epis
copal Conference, telling of his mis
sions at Coos Bay, and after he had
finished Bishop Scadding told how
this minister had been working there
18 years and hdd grown old extend
ing the faith of the saints, and was
receiving only ?400 a year, while
four Presbyterian ministers, young
and able to endure hardship, were
each receiving $000 a year, and were
starting mission!).
"I immediately recommend a raise
to $1000 for Rev. Mr. Horsfall,"
said Bishop Scadding, and it was
given.
Rev. Mr. Horsfall asked to have
it reduced, saying, "I am not worth
it," but Indignant replies, "You are,"
"You are," coming from all present,
his request was let pass. The Bishop
said the object was not to lower all
to the same pay, but to raise those
not yet In the list of the higher-paid
missions.
The hesitancy of the Rev. Horsfall
in accepting the increased salary at
tracted much attention, and has
brought many words of praise to the
venerable man. The Portland Tele
gram in commenting on it editorially
says:
A Case of Rare Modesty.
"When a minister of the Gospel
labors in a single community for a
period of eighteen years, and at a
maximum annual stipend of ?400; it
can truly be said of that man that
Lis personal sacrifice to the cause in
-which he is enlisted is great. "When
In pure appreciation of that sacrifice
his church conference proposes to
raise his yearly compensation to
?1000, and that minister modestly
demurs with the assertion that he "is
not worth it," we are furnished an
example -of unselfish service that, in
this day and age, it is difficult to
match.
"At yesterday's session of the
Episcopal conference Rev. William
Horsfall delivered an address upon
his mission work at Coos Bay, where
he has been stationed, for the time
mentioned, as an humble disciple of
tlio Man of Nazareth. Following this
address, Bishop Scadding called at
tention to the faithful and uncom
plaining character of Mr. Horsfall's
ministration, dwelling upon the per
sonal sacrifice that had been made
ior so many years, and announcing
that tho ministerial salary had been
raised In this Instanco to $1000, an
act which had met with tho entire ap
proval of tho church authorities. It
was upon this announcement that
Rev. William Horsfall made tho al
most unprecedented request that the
Increased salary bo reduced, on tho
plea of unworthiness.
"There may bo better mon in the
service of the church than tho Rev.
"William Horsfall; but, without the
honor of a personal acquaintance, we
venture to say that the peoplo who
Know him intimately will not admit
it.
"Modesty llko this denotes purity
of motive and tho quality of simple
heroism, which go hand in hand with
genuine righteousness. Thero is ovi
donco hero of raro endowment; of a
rich reward, in tho consciousness of
"well-doing, that transcends money
values.
"In the selfish struggle for the ac
quisition of this world's goods, we
have grown wiber than tho children
of light. It is almost iiupossiblo to
find a man who Is not touched with
this peculiar wlbdom, whereby wo
aro slow to discern tho virtue of self
donial. Yet, may wo hold it to tho
credit of tho race that tho typo of
man exists howover humble his
sphere who appreciates tho Imper
ishablo riches of sen ice, and of whom
his follows with sound hearts must
pronounco: "Here is a good man."
Chamber of Commerce Will
Institute Campaign to Secure
It For Marshfielcl.
It was announced at the Chamber
of Commerce's last meeting that
the organization and Postmaster W.
Curtis would shortly take steps to se
cure the free delivery of mail through
out the city. The receipts of the local
office are nearly $2,000 in excess of ,
the minimum $10,000 required to se- I
cure free delivery. ,
The matter will be taken up with
the department just as soon as the
committee from the Chamber of Com-
merce and tne street comnmiee ui
the city council can complete the task
of renaming the streets and arrang
ing for the numbering of them in
a systematic way.
Postoffice inspector R. J. Stock
myer, who is here to arrange for the
securing of better quarters for the
postofilce and improving the service,
was" present and expressed the opin
ion that it might be possible to se
cure free delivery for Marshfteld
soon.
Several Speak.
Several interesting talks were
made at the last meeting, the
speakers being Mrs. Margaret Herrln
of Portland, Francis H. Clarke, A.
H. Eddy and W. H. Dryden of Oak
land, Cal., and a pioneer resident
of the Coos Bay country. The talks
were very interesting and were warm
ly applauded.
Mr. Dryden, who is visiting at the
Merchant home in this city, gave
some interesting reminiscences of
early times in this section, telling of
the difficulties of travel and describ
ing the life of the early settlers. He
expressed gratification at the rapid.
progress Coos Bay is now making but
thinks its products should be pushed
more. For instance, he has tried to
get Coos Bay coal at Oakland but has
been unable to procure it from deal
ers there.
Mrs. Herrln's remarks were also
extemporaneous. Her tribute to the
beauties of the Coos Bay country was
warmly applauded. She said that
she rather believed that the people
here had grown so accustomed to the
natural beauty of their surroundings
that they no longer appreciated them.
She declared that the wonderful
beauty of the great variety of wild
(lowers along the Drain stage road,
tho remarkable scenery of the Ump
qua valley and tho surrounding
country recompensed for the difficult
trip over it.
A. H. Eddy took tho Coos Bay citi
zens rather severely to task for not
doing more, or at least accomplish
ing the things they start or propose
fo do. He said that he came hero six
months ago and was told of the great
street improvements that were going
to be made at once, the

Hayes Temple, a prominent North
Bend man who has announced his
candidacy on the Independent ticket
for coroner of Coos County, is a na
tive son of Oregon, having been born
and raised in this state. He was
born in Albany in 1S7G, secured his
early education there and later grad
uated from the Oregon State Normal.
Then he studied medicine for a year
before taking up the undertaking
and embalming course. Upon his
conclusion of this course, he went
to Portland and spent three years
with the large undertaking firms of
Holman & Company, and Erickson &
Company. Following his marriage
he moved to North Bend to engage in.
business for himself and is now a
member of the undertaking firm of
Temple, Smith & Company of North
Bend.
His numerous friends throughout
Coos county, who urged him to enter
the race, point out that he is excel
lently qualified for the position of
coroner. His education and training
will enable him to promptly and
carefully Investigate all sudden or
accidental deaths and his business
ability will insure the keeping of ex
penses to the county and to the par
ties immediately interested as low
as is consistent with tne thorough
and capable execution of the duties
of the office. As the position of
coroner is one in which politics
should not be involved, Mr. "Tem
ple's friends ask that all, regard
less of partisanship who wish the
best possible administration of the
office to vote for Mr. Temple next

all the necessity of getting busy and
keep doing things all the time in
stead of talking about it. Otherwise,
he declared Coos Bay would never

Francis H. Clarke in an extempo
