Mayor B. E. Straw and F. S. Dow,
representing the South Marshfleld
citizens, had a little tilt early In the
evening over the South Marshfleld
sower project. Mayor Straw In call
ing the matter up said that he didn't
bellove that Mr. Dow or the citizens
down there knew what they wanted
and that ho didn't like to have them
criticising the plans of the city cn
Blneer who was an expert on the
matter. Mr. Dow said that he was
willing to admit that they weren't
exactly certain as to the details of
"what they wanted but that ho was
also sure that Mayor Straw and the
city council didn't know what the
peoplo wanted. Ho said tho people
had to pay for the improvement and
that It was their intention to have
some voice in tho matter as to how
It Is to be done. Councilman Sacchl
championed Mr. Dow's application
for a delay and action on the matter
was postponed n week In order to
permit tho circulation of the peti
tions asking the change.
Debute Over SCivH.
There wns also considerable de
bate over tho Improvement of Sixth

a motion that the improvement be
discontinued but Mayor Straw inter
posed. Ho said that tho city had
expended a fow thousand dollars in
extending tho 'E' street bridge out
over tho flat to connect with Sixth
street and unless Sixth street was
opened, tho 'E' street extension
would bo useless. Ho said that ho
didn't proposo to havo largo sums
of monoy expended uselessly and
that ho didn't want to havo Incom
plete improvements sticking up hero
and thero throughout tho city as
monuments to him. Ho said that the
council ought to know what they
wero doing boforo they started work
and expended largo sums. In ad
dition to this, ho said thnt tho loca
tion of tho Catholic church on Sixth
street made it necessary for tho
street to bo improved. Councilman
Lockhart concurred. On a vole,
hacchl's motion to discontinue the
improvement lost, ho and Savage
voting for it nml Counclluii'ii Lock
hart, Nasburg, Flanagan and Nelson

of tho streot was thou ordored con
tinued with tho understanding that

Anna H. Johnson of North Bend
Writes Letter Concerning
Woman.
The following letter which ap
peared in the Portland Oregonian a
few days ago has caused much com
ment on Coos Bay:
NORTH BEND, Ore., May 21.
(To the Editor.) One feature of a
new town is that its citizens are all
for a time living "on probation."
They come from every part of the
globe, and Is wise or desirous of
being agreeable, leave their past be
hind with old friends and begin
anew.
One of the first to come to North
Bend was Bertha Gordon, "the wom
an of mystery." Whatever may have
been her past, so far as known, for
two years or more she lived an
honest, straight life, doing her house
work and caring" with passionate
love for the man she called her hus
band. She certainly did not squan
der his money at that time, but was
apparently his trusted companion,
guide and adviser in financial affairs.
Her mania, was to make money
lots of it and quickly and she was
always suspected of having the drug
or drink habit.
But the Gordons were supposed
to be wealthy. They Invested large
ly In real estate and took a great
interest in the development of the
town. Mrs. Gordon had every
chance to become a leader In society I
and gain entrance to the best homes;
but she kept apart from all festivi
ties and social gatherings, on the
plea that Mr. Gordon would not go
out with her and that she did not
like to leave him alone. During
these years she was never known to
enter a saloon, but spent many an
hour on the street at night in the
cold and rain watching for Mr. Gor
don to leave one, when she would
beg him to go home with her. It
came to be known later that in re
turn for all this devotion he was re
fusing her the shield and satisfac
tion of legal marriage.
The few who knew her at that
time agree that she was no ordinary
person; that, had she used her power
for good she might have had much
influence; that she never Indulged
in vulgar or coarse language or
"talked about folks." How hard
she was trying to get up; what hopes I
she had and what bitter defeat she
met with no one knows. Neither
can we guess what Inherited traits
and early influence produced such a
fierce, passionate nature and drove i """" " " """ "" .
her on to destruction. i 2AAAAA AAAAA A4yA3AAAAAAAA

Little can be said in defense of
what followed, to a pure domestic
woman, finding daily joy in her
home .husband and babies, It is sim
ply incomprehensible. But one cre
dit is due her. She kept to her kind.
She lured no Innocent girl to ruin;
destroyed the peace of no home; cor- JT
rupted no honest man, unless the j
one who shot her proves an excep-1
tlon. He Is reported as "a good'
fellow, well liked," and many will J
not hesitate to exclaim, "She's a
woman. Kick her down!" "He's ay
man, lift him up!"
Our Savior said, "Ye who are
without blame." J
Will none of the 12 good, wise -f
s
men, who are to pass judgment upon
Mrs. Gordon's case at Coquille hesi
tate to "cast the stone" and insist
that her murderer pay the full i j
penalty of his crime? J;
