Mnrslifleld ..... Oregon
MAKE IT UNANIMOUS.
Just now there appears to be lit
tle doubt but that It is Senator Cake
of Oregon. Once the campaign start
ed is was speedily seen that the oft
boasted personal popularity of
George the Governor was not so al
mighty stout as it once was. Vari
ous things that some folks have
known about our chief executive have
come to light, and a lot of folks are
today doubtful If George was such
a whale of a man after all.
The nearer Oregon makes it un
animous for Cake the better for Ore
gon. There are a few places where
party politics still count; they don't
usually in city, county and district
affairs; but they do in national af
fairs especially in the upper house
of congress where the minority
sits tight and waits. Oregon
wants a lot of things from con
gress; it can never get them through
a Democratic senator.
Between the men personally the
ibsuo is not drawn; It is not a per
sonal campaign; if it was Mr. Cake
would not be on the defensive.
It is also remembered that Cake
was one of the Republicans who had
the nerve to stand on a Statement
No. 1 platform when it looked as
though that meant defeat; ho stood
for the popular election of the Unit
ed States senator whether it profited
him or not; Chamberlain has stood
for It because it was his sole chance
of ever landing the place.
The vast difference between being
good because you hope it will pay,
and because it is right, represents the
difference between the stand of Mr.
Chamberlain and Mr. Cake.
AN UNIQUE FESTIVAL.
A rhododendron festival was held
in Florence, the busy and pictures
quo seaport town of Lane county,
May 20, says the Portland Orc
gonian. The coast line is gay with
rhododendrons just now and the
festival in honor of this beautiful
flowering- shrub will be largely at
tended by people of the county sur
rounding Florence, from as far out
as Eugene.
-V.l Tuo rhododendron, the state
flower of Washington, grows ns
plentifully and blooms ns luxuriant
ly along tho Oregon coast, and later
in tho Oregon mountains, ns along
tho coast and in tho mountains of
Western Washington. When tho dis
cussion regarding the cholco of a
stato flower was before the Oregon
Horticultural Society, some years
. ago, the claim of tho rhododendron
to this distinction was urged; but,
ns is well known, tho Oregon grapo
(herberis aqulfolium) won the
honor. The cholco was regretted by
many at tho time, but It has como
to bo generally accepted as appropri
ate. This fact does not, however,
provont Oregon from sharing with
Washington in ndmiration for tho
gorgeous rhododendron when in
bloom.
Tho festival hold at Florence
was tho first public honor that
lias boon paid to this hardy, indi
genous shrub. Portland is in tho
mood just now to applaud tho spirit
of enterprise nnd appreciation that
ilnds expression In a flower festival.
Naturo has been kind to tho pcoplo
whoso homes and interests havo been
established on Sluslaw Bay.. Among
othor things, sho has given them a
grand flower for thoir May festival
moroly for tho gathering. May tho
occasion lend to tho introduction of
n multitude of ontorprislng pooplo
of tho surrounding country to tho
possibilities in uiulovoloped ro
gourcos that abound in tho coast
region of Lnno county.

HE NEVER IJLAMED THE HOOZE
He took a bottle up to bed,
Drank whisky hot each night;
Drank cocktails in the morning,
But never could get tight.
He shivered in the evening,
And always had the blues
Until he took a bowl or two
But he never blamed the booze.
His joints were full or rheumatiz;
His appetite was slack;
He had pains between the shoulders;
Chills ran down his back.
He suffered with Insomnia:
At night he couldn't snooze,
He said it was the climate
But he never blamed the booze.
U.
His constitution was run down
(It' was overwork, he said) ;
His legs were swelled each morning,
And he often had swelled head.
He tackled beer, wine, whisky,
And If they didn't fuse
He blamed It on dyspepsia
But he never blamed tho booze.
He claimed he hardly slept at night,
And always had bad dreams;
He claimed he often lay awake
Till early sunrise beams.
He thought it was malaria
Alas! 'twas but a ruse.
He blamed it on most everything
But he never blamed the booze.
His liver needed scraping,
And his kidneys had the gout;
He swallowed lots of bitters,
Till at last he cleaned them out,
His legs were swelled with dropsy,
Till he had to cut his shoes;
He blamed it on the doctor
But he never blamed the booze.
Then he had the tremens,
And he tackled rats and snakes;
First he had the fever,
Then he had the shakes,
At last he had a funeral,
And, to give him his just dues,
The epitath carved for him was
"He never blamed the booze."

John Kronholm, with a smile that
was childlike and bland approached
Marshal Carter Monday and Informed
him that there was, a stray horse in

residence. Marshal Carter, with an
ever watchful eye to tho city's well-
fare secured a ropo and started for
tho scene of the roaming equine. Ar
rival at the place he found a hobby
horso carefully tied to tho fence. Tho
Marshal refubos to divulge tho burn
ing words that filled his thought
factory when he discovered that it
was a "horse" on him and he may
havo asked John to "havo one on

Marshal Carter will requlro corro

Ledge Assaying $1,400 to the
Ton Found Near Myrtle
Point.
MYRTLE POINT, Ore., May 23.
The Enterprise says: Ross B. Deyoe
brings in the news of a rich strike
on Sucker creek. He has uncovered
a ledge, samples of which assay $1,
400 in gold to the ton. Mr. Deyoe
says It is one of the few "ledge in
place" mines that have been discover
ed In this section. He discovered the
ledge quite by accident and secured
some fine samples from the surface.
His friends will sincerely hope that
ho has discovered his fortune. He
filed on the property as soon as he
arrived In town.
TO IMPROVE BROADWAY.
North Ueml City Council Awards
Contract to Contractor Burns.
At a special meeting last evening,
the North Bend city council awarded
Contractor Burns the work of open
ing up Broadway and Improving the
thoroughfare.
A number of routine matters came
up for discussion but no other busi
ness of importance was transacted.
At tho Crystal. Tho all-comedy
bill at tho Crystal last night proved
to bo a favorite with all. "The
Strenous Veteran's War Story" was
a laugh producer from tho prelimi
nary skirmishing to the final assault
and kept tho audience In an uproar.
"Father Buys a Hand Roller" Is an
other strong comedy film, and "No
Moro Servants Wanted" handles tho
servant problem in a novel manner.
"When Women Meet" humorously
portrays what tho titlo suggests. The
Illustrated songs: "I Love You Girlie
But I Don't Know Why" and "My
Little Drummer Boy" are new and
original and tho slides aro of tho
latest manufacture.

POLITICAL ADVERTISING.
ARE SALOONS A BENEFIT TO A
TOWN FINANCIALLY?
If they are then Marshfleld with
its 13 saloons should be in a fine
financial condition, with paved
streets, municipal water works and
electric lights, city parks, city docks,
modern sewer system and everything
that goes to make up a modern city,
with city warrants at a premium.
What are the facts?
According to the report of Expert
Squires she is in an nlarmlng condi
tion. With a city charter that allows an
indebtedness of but $25,000 she Is
in debt to the amount of $43,000 and
going still further in debt.
Not a bank in the county will cash
the Marshfleld city warrants at par.
There Is not a single foot of paved
streets.
Not a single one of tho above
necessary improvements.
Worse than all, the city is running
in debt to the extent of several thou
sand dollars annually; and the city
council is considering the advisability
of asking the people to allow them
to incur a bonded indebtedness of
$50,000.
What do you think that
for a "wet" town?
Compare the above with the city of
Eugene a dry town for two years,
which Is in a most prosperous condi
tion as shown by the statement of
Mayor Matlock.
POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENTS.
To the Voters of Coos and Curry
Counties:
As a candidate for joint senator, I
have been asked to make a public
statement.
Of myself personally, I shall say
nothing as I have lived In Coos coun
ty for the past fourteen years, and
during that time have actively en
gaged in many occupations and enter
terprlses, Including coal mining, log
ging, road building and general con
tracting, so that I have come in con
tact with most of the active elements
in the county development, and my
character, dealings and reputation
aro well known to many and easily
ascertained by all. As to my general
qualifications for the office, I leave
the public to judge, but that there
may be no misunderstanding of my
position, I make this public announ
cement that I have signed Statement
No. 1, and if elected shall vote for
the people's choice for United States
senator.
My experience and acquaintance
with local conditions should enable
me to properly represent the district,
and I therefore feel justified in ask
ing your support.
HUGH McLAIN.
MARSHFIELD "DRY" BY 200
