COOS CO.
Mr. It. E. L. Dedllllon was born in
Olympla, Thurston county, Wash
ington, in 18G4, moved to Califor
nia in 18G7, resided in California
until 1890, then came to Bandon
whore he has since resided. For
some years he followed fishing, con
tracting, wharf and bridge building
nnd later drifted into the hotel busi
ness. After a period of flvo years
of successful service along those
lines, went into tho manufacture of
woolens, which line he has followed
successfully over since, his being
one of the few concerns operating
in that line on tho Pacific coast,
now running. It also successfully
manufactures a specialty that it
alone has made famous.
He is also the owner of quite a
tract of land in East Bandon, much
of which ho has liberally donated to
enterprises seeking locations and has
thus, without doubt, added largely
to the resources and popularity of
that city.
Some irresponsible person has
charged that he was, at one time,
in the United States Army for a pe
riod of two years and did not have
a creditable discharge; such state
ment we desire to contradict, as he
Is in possession today of an honor
able discharge as complete and full
as was ever granted to any man In

M
A PEW FACTS TAKEN FROM
THE OFFICIAL RE
'A representative should possess
thesame business qualities, the same
systematic qualities of system and
carefulness that make the successful
business man.
Do wo want our laws made after any
such patterns as tho following ex
tracts from the Coos county records
would indicate the "Major" adopts
in his business.
To begin with L. D. Kinney and
F. B, Walto contracted the sale of
100 lots to H. Sengstacken recorded
in. Vol. 44, page 210 of Deeds, then
Kollock and Waite made a straight
deed to C. H. Kopf for several blocks,
which deed took in the 100 lots con
tracted to H. Sengstacken, this deed
is recorded in Vol. 44, page 528.
Now, note carefully; Both tho con
tracts and tho deed covered lots 1, 2
and 3 in block 57, Plat B. Then
Kinney makes a blanket deed to the
Belt Line Railw'ay Company of a lot
of property In which said lots 1, 2
and 3, block 57, Plat B are included
which deed Is recorded In Vol. 48,
page C38.
C. H. Kopf comes in now and
deeds a one half Interest to John IC.
Kollock to several blocks which deed
includes Bald lots 1, 2 and 3, block
57, Plat B, and this deed is recorded
in Vol. 49, at pago 304. After all
this, Kinney, on March 3, 1908,
makes a contract of sale to Geo. W.
Winkler, reciting tho receipt In first
FOR SHERIFF.
W. W. Gage, candidate for sheriff,
on tho Democratic ticket, has been
a resident of Coos county for the
past twenty years, during which time
he has been engaged in logging,
farming and fishing. He served as
sheriff' for six years from 1894 to
11900, ho was elected sheriff again
In 190G, and at the time of his elec
tion the taxes for 1898, 1899, 1900,
1901, 1902, 1903, 1904 had only
been partially collected. Mr. Gage
immediately proceeded to tho ques
tion of delinquent taxes and had
collected something over $10,000
and today there are much less de
linquent taxes than have ever been
known in Coos county. No prisoner
has ever escaped Mr. Gage, but dur
ing his predecessors terms of office
it was a usual thing for criminals to
escape and largo bills to bo present
ed to the county to pay for their re
capture. Such a thing has never
occurred in Mr. Gage's administra
tion. He has run tbo sheriff's office
with less expense, considering tho
amount of work done, than any
other sheriff in Coos county.
Where did tho major and tho col
onel get their military titles.
REPRESENT
IN LEGISLATURE
ing signed by Secretary of State
James G. Blaine and President Har
rison; said discharge being the only
one of tho kind over granted, so far
as known. He has volunteered
since his first enlistment upon two
different occasions, first during the
Indian War of the Bad Lands and
second during the Spanish-American
War, and would have gone as Cap
tain of K. Company of tho First regi
ment, then stationed at Bandon, had
aulred; which was, held under
service of that Company been re
orders in readiness to go on a mo
ment's notice.
He Is also engaged In the organ
ization of a pulp and paper mill soon
to be erected at Bandon, being
elected president of said concern.
Mr. Bedilllon shows he has done
much for his home town and for the
county at large.
It should be the desire of the peo
ple of Coos county to be represented
in tho legislature by the most cap
able man that it is possible to select.
In Mr. Bedlllion we believe we have
all of tho qualities necessary, as he
has pledged himself to work for tho
county as a whole and for no particu
lar party pr location.
Mr. Bedilllon has been employing
labor constantly since 1890 in Coos
county and is, at the present time
employing forty-three people with a
monthly pay roll of $2,000.
payment of $450, tho balance to bo
nald In a year. Recorded Vol. 50,
page 20G, which contract with Wink-
ler covers said lots 1, 2 and 3, in
block 57, Plat B. Then, tho next
day, after the contract with Geo. W.
Winkler, to wit, on March 4, 1908,
Kinney made to E. M. Ward a war-'
ranteo deed to several parcels of
property, Including said lots 1, 2 and I
3, block 57, Plat B; in this deed he
gives full warrantee covenants that
they are free of incumbrances and
that ho is the owner in foe simple of
said lots, which said deed is recorded
in Vol. 50, page 217. Tho Belt Line
Railway also quit claims said lots
to E. M. Ward, the deed being of rec
ord In Vol. 50, page 218.
Another blanket deed for all tim
ber on Coos Bay, Plat B, Seaport and
Pony slough properties from Kinney
to Geo. W. Everett is recorded in
Vol. 49, page 142.
In a deed to tho Belt Line Railway
Company, with no reservation of tim
ber, he conveys 160 acres more or
less of property, situated on Pony
slough, and in hiB deed of all? tim
ber to E. M. Ward, a few days ago,
he sells all the timber on this last
mentioned property.
Taking the most charitable view
of tho transactions shown by this
record, it indicates, at least, great
confusion of mind and careless not to
say reckless business management.
FOR TREASURER.
J. J. Lamb, Democratic nominee
for Coos county treasurer. Lamb
is a resident of Coos county, was
county clerk eight years from 1884
to 1892. He conducted the offlco in
a business like manner, waa con
scientious and honest and if elected
treasuror the office will be conducted
properly and economically.
Major Kinney in his letter to tho
laboring men says, "They say I am
against the labor lien law, which is
not true; I am for the strongest and
best protection of American labor."
As a. matter of fact Major Kinney
made a speech at Coquille, after re
ceiving the nomination, in which ho
stated positively that he was In favor
of repealing the labor lien law. It
can bo proven by Coqullle'a most
reputable citizens, that he made this
statement. John Quick and A. L.
Curry of Coquille, will make a sworn
affidavit to the effect that Major Kin
ney made this labor lien statement in
his speech at Coquille. A. W. Sleep
er and C. M. Skeels will testify to
tho same. Parties doubting this
statement can have tho samo con
firmed by calling on these gentlemen
personally or by telephone.

'"ERE ARE THE FACTS FOR
THE FAITH THAT IS OUKS.
Why Hugh McLaln would better
represent the counties of Coos and
Curry in the state senate than his op
ponent. I First Ho stands for Statement
No. 1, and tho people's choice1. ;
Second He has for fourteen years
been actively engaged In developing
tho resources of this section.
Third From actual experience he
knows the conditions In its mines, in
its lumber woods and on Its ranches.
Fourth As a worklngman and as
an employer of worklngmen ho
understands labor conditions and
needs.
Fifth As a contractor and prac
tical road builder he has sound ideaB
on roads and road legislation, tho
great need of this new country.
From Thoso Who Ought To Know
A canvass of the local bar shows
every lawyer in Marshfleld In favor
of J. W. Snover for justice of the
peace.
The reason is plain.
The circuit court has but two jury
terms a year causing a long delay in
getting a hearing. The county seat
is at Coquille hence great ' incou-
venlonce and expense in attending
court. The calendar is crowded te
fri'lting in much uncertainty and ex
pense during the term.
Tho circuit judge resides In Poho
btug, making it difficult t; ciirimitni
ra with him.
In view of these facts much Im
portant litigation coul.t be tried out
before tho justice of tho peace if he
wre a competent lawyc familiar
with the practice and requirements
in a court of record.
Mr. Snover has that qualification
and is also a man of judicial tem
perament and entirely fret from busi
ness or political connections or in
fluence that might prejudice him.
Ask any lawyer about it.
Tho county is very fortunate in
having such a man for the office anl
to show its appreciation should elect
him by a largo majority.
FOR ASSESSOR.
T. J. Thrift, candldato for esses
sor, on tho Democratic ticket, is the
present incumbent. Mr. Thrift's rec
ord speaks for itself prior to this
election tho corporation and timber
lands were assessed at about one
third of what an individual would
bo assessed for tho same. Mr.
Thrift has changed this condition of
affairs. Instead of tho assessed
valuation of Coos county being $3,
000,000 as it was prior to his elec
tion it la now about $13,000,000,
and individual and corporation are
assessed equal.
Statement No. 1
I further state to the peo
people of my legislative distr
fice, I will always vote for that
senator in Congress, who has received the highest number
of the people's votes for that position at the general election
next preceding the election of a senator in Congress, with
out regard to my individual p reference,

A BUSINESS PROPOSITION.
Everyone knows Major Kinney,
many to their sorrow; vigorous, vain
glorious, visionary, tho major will
not bo bound by Statement No. 1 nor
by anything else. He will hitch his
charlottoastarand rampage through
the firmament. . His legislative per
formances would doubtless be as
spectacular and diverting as his busi
ness ventures. He would be as uso
ful at Salem as a bull in a China
shop. Would this voluble, capricious
dreamer of dreams and speculator
fitly represent Coos county, if you
think so, vote for him.
Mr. Bedilllon on tho other hand
is a real business man who keeps his
feet under him and keeps them on
tho government; who shows com
mon sense in his conversation, good
judgment in his business and a de
cent regard for the opinions of others
in his politics. He is squarely pledg
ed to Statement No. 1. If ho repre
sents you and your views, voto for
him.

CHASE'S RECORD
Chase's record Is Impalpable as
a deadly gas, lighter than air, as in
visible as ether, not to be weighed,
measured, felt or seen. As a mem
ber of the House, ho was a legisla
tive nonentity and now has tho as
surance to ask for promotion to tho
senate In order that ho may havo
a broader field of uselessness.
No one accuses Mr. Chase of being
venal unless accepting $3 per day
from the state for the little ho did,,
could be construed Into extortion or
obtaining money under false pre
tences. So far as known, ho was never
bought, probably ho was" never ap
proached, as tho skilled lobbyist at
tempts to buy men of influence.
Mr. Chase makes some claim ot
being the author of the bill ho in
troduced ostensibly aimed at open
ing to settlement tho Southern Ore
gon Company's land holdings.
Good lawyers know that this bill
was improper and ineffective for that
purpose ,and the committee of flvo
senators, to whom it was referred,,
unanimously reported that it waa a.
matter entirely for tho courts.
Was Mr. Chase posing, blufllnir
making a grand stand play, or did ha
know no better?
OUT OF HIS OWN MOUTH SnALI.
YE JUDGE HIM.
In yesterday's Times "Major" Kin
ney has two characteristic letters.
Read them and try to understand.
thorn for, out of their grandiloquent
wanderings, their maze of wild con
jecture and absurd assertion, you
may gain a proper estimate of the
man and his mental mako up.
Let us glance at his "Letter to tho
laboring man."
The "Major" is no modest flower
born to blush unseen," as witness,
tho following:
"I am known all over tho United
States as an employer of labor." It
this bo so it may account for tho.
present hard times.
"I did not intend to say one word,
in my own behalf that I might know
tho people of Coos county had in ma
just the man they wanted."
A goodly number of the peoplo ot
Coos county wish they "had him"
and he is very much wanted.
"I can prove that I would hava
been a millionaire many times over,
had I turned down labor In favor ot
capital."
The "Major" doubtless adopts
Frank Peavy's definition of a mil
lionaire as "a man who owes a mil
lion." At the conclusion of his "Letter
to the Coquille voters," the "Major"
makes his first and only public
pledge. "My conduct will always bo con
sistent with the attitude expressed.
In this letter."
Read tho letter that procedes that
statement and decide if you can what
that attitude Is.
This Jovo minded arbiter of des
tiny, not onjy refuses to abldo br
tho will of tho peoplo in the selec
tion of senator, but proceeds to de
cide tho fate of the various towns in
his district. And to fix the location
of its inhabitants according to his
appraisement of their merit and
ability.
Coquille is to bo a sanltorlum.
Bandon a summer resort.
Myrtle Point apparently is to
house Its Inhabitants and concen
trate Its business in one vast struc
ture. All ordinary Individuals are to bo
banished from Coos Bay and a clear
field left for tho "Major" and a few
other business and intellectual giants
of great foresight and heavy money
power" who will gaily change "cen
ters" In a manner that "will crunk
hundreds of men and blast tho hopes
of thousands of small investors."
So far as can bo gathered from his
letter, tho "Major" pledges this to be
his attitude.
Tho people need a man in tho
legislature of less extravagant "fore
sight" and a good deal more com
mon sense.
FOR JOINT REPRESENTATIVE.
For joint representative of Coos
county you havo on tho ono band
"Col" I. N. Muncy, whom it is really
hard to tako seriously, a wandering
aspirant for political honors, tho ori
gin of whoso military title is shroud
