THE DAILY CiDOS BAY TIMES, MARSHFIELD,
HIT HURT
WELL KNOWN
Mrs. Delia B. Rotnor Succumb
ed at San Diego After Long
Illness.
Word was received here today that
Mrs. Delia D. Rotnor. an earlv
teacher on Coos Bay and well
known among the early residents,
and the mother of Geo. B. Rotnor,
manager of the Woolen Mills store
in Marshfield, died at her home In
San Diego, Cal., last Tuesday. Her
son left here about ten days ago and
it is believed that he reached her
shortly prior to her death.
Mrs. Rotnor was one of the first
public school teachers on Coos Bay,
she and Dr. J. T. McCormac conduct
ing the Marshfield academy in 1878.
She was very popular and successful
as a teacher. Her versatility and
genlal 1)ersonallty won her
many
warm friends who sincerely regretted
her removal from here in 1SS2 to
southern California and mourn her
death.
Mrs. Rotnor had been ailing for
some time from intestinal trouble
but her condition was not considered
critical until a few weeks ago. Mr.
Rotnor left Immediately for San
Diego.
Mrs. Rotnor was G5 years old and
a native of Illinois. No information
has been received here regarding the
funeral.
game was a benefit for the Acme
baud and will net that organization
about $G0. Nearly 250 people saw
the game and enjoyed the vaudeville
stunts. The band was present and
more than gave the crowd Its money's
worth In the concert.
The barbers did their best but the
drluk-mixers refused to allow them
to get hold of their whiskers and
! other hirsute adornments, and the
only thing the tonsorlallsts could do
was to clip off a lock now and then.
The way that Frank Denny handed
out "Gin-rickies," "silver-fizzes" and
other things too numerous to men
tion from the pitcher's box (the
crowd agreed that they couldn't be !
designated in baseball parlance as
the national game has nothing in Its
vocabulary that would describe
them), was too much for the Bar
bers, who didn't expect more than
steins from him. And then, when
Charley Hlckok and Synder came to
bat, the "high balls" they hammered
out to the fielders was more than
any self-respecting Barber could take
in one gulp and the result was that
they landed on second, third or home
plate before Boyer was' ready to ap
ply the "hot towel" or "powder."
B. Lynch, who was in the box for
the Barbers, was so accustomed to
keeping the scissors working on a
straight line to eliminate rough spots
that he couldn't get the ball to curve.
Curry slipped on a shampoo, singe
and a few others things on a few that
came down to short but try as they
would, the mixologists kept well In
the lead all the time.
The score by Innings was some
thing like this:
Barbers ...01010004 2 8
Bartenders ..1131031 1 11
The Barbers declare that they
would have run In ten scores one In
ning if the crowd hadn't helped
Charlie Hlckok on first. While they
refuse to make any direct accusa
tions, they intimate that Agnew and
Goldie, who umpired, will have cham
pagne galore for a week or so.
The lineup was as follows:

I. J. BRIAN GOES
Democratic Aspirant In Ironical
Statement Belittles Roose
velt's Opinion of Republican
Candidate.
(By Associated Press.)
BALTIMORE, Md Sept. 14. "A
few plain, simple sentences from Mr.
Taft will bo worth more thnn all the
eulogy that the president pronounce.
The president's endorsement Is of no
value unless the president will agree
to stay in Washington and see that
Mr. Taft makes good." In these
words, W. J. Bryan summed up his
opinion of a letter by President
Roosevelt commendatory of W. H.
Taft. "The president's letter, how
ever, may be objected to as irrele
vent, immaterial and not the best of
evidence. If Taft was dead, it would
be Interesting to know from Mr.
Roosevelt what he knew of Taft's
opinions and work, but as Taft Is
alive and able to speak for himself,
It is hardly necessary for Mr. Roose
velt to tell us what Taft will do.
Taft is running upon a platform
which was so unsatisfactory that he
had to amend it in several particulars
and yet even as amended It gives
the public no definite idea of what
Taft stands for.

Lee Tracy Leaves Today For
Eureka Try to Make It In
Eight Days.
Lee Tracy will leave Coos Bay
this afternoon for Bandon where ha
intends to start on a pedestrian trip
to Eureka, a distance of about 200
miles. Tracy, who has been work
ing in this city made the remark one
day last week that he would rather
walk the distance than to be tossed
up and down on the Pacific. This
brought on a wager from a bystander
and the money was put up and Emll
Debault was chosen to go along as
time keeper. He has eight days in
which to make the trip and is allow
ed two days "rest if he becomes foot
sore. The road he will travel Is
rough and many steep grades to
climb but he expects to take ad-
vantage of the trail around
Cape
Humbug, so.uth of Port Orford
which will cut off about two and a
quarter miles off the distance, be
sides cutting out one of the steepest
hills on this side of the Rogue river.
People who have been over the route
claim that a good walker can make
the trip easily in the eight days.

T. J. Seeley of Coquille Pro
poses to Introduce Australian
Blue Gum Trees Here.
T. J. Seeley of the logging firm of
Seeley & Anderson on the Coquille,
is considering the project of planting
the Australian blue gum trees on the
lands which they have logged off.
He claims that when the trees ma
tured they would bring a better price
than can be obtained for fir or cedar.
Mr. Seeley says he has studied the
subject for years and watched the
coming up of new trees on old lands
and had noticed that a section of
the Chadwlck tract which had been
logged oft there came up a solid new
growth of white cedar and the
strange part of It was thero was not
a white cedar on tho tract when it
was logged off. If Mr. Seeley follows
out his project, It will be closely
watched by persons who have large
tracts of logged off lands In the
county.

AFTER V. H. TAFT
Roosevelt to say that Taft is friend
and co-worker. Taft's friendship is
to be determined not by the presi
dent's endorsement but by the meas
ures which Taft advocates. Mr. Tnft
believes labor organizations should
come under the operation of the
anti-trust law.
"Taft is opposed to trial by jury in
cases of indirect contempt, thus deny
ing to the laboring man the safe
guard which is guaranteed every man
tried In criminal court."
Bryan declared that Taft's position
on the trust question is not changed
by the president's endorsement, and
said the president would not succeed
in putting any trust magnates in the
penitentiary and that only a few
trusts have been disturbed, and said
uiui mere are more trusts in the,
country todny than when Roosevelt
was Inaugurated. He said that Taft
has failed to express himself with
clearness on the tariff question. The
platform does not use the word
"reduction" but "revision" and Taft
construes that to mean that some
may be raised and some lowered, but
gives no indication whether the aver
age will be higher or lower than now.
Bryan In concluding says, "And so in
regard to all questions at issue, Taft
must make his position known. He
cannot rely on the president's endor
sement." SELLS
TIMBER LAND
Transfers 50,000 Acres In Linn
County to Lane and Hennepin
County Company.
ALBANY, Ore., Sept. 14. The
vast Linn county timber holdings of
C. A. Smith, of Minneapolis, were
all transferred to the Linn & Lane
Timber Company, organized In Hen
nepin county, Minn. The transfers
embrace about 50,000 acres. The
consideration named in one deed is
$80,000 and only a nominal consider
ation is mentioned in the others, but
the value of the land transferred is
about $1,000,000.
The land embraces all of the old
holdings of Frederick A. Kribs, of
Portland, and somo additional land
later acquired by tho Smith inter
ests with scrip. Several hundred
acres were held jointly by Smith, C.
I. Swanson and Nils O. Warner. Oth

The Smith holdings were all
choice timber land, and somo sec

CONCERT IS
GRAND SUCCESS
Large and Appreciative Au
dience Hear Mlie. Westerlind
Last Night.
Mile. Sigrid Westerlind gave a
concert last night at the Knights of
Finland Hall, before a large and very
appreciative audience. Marshfield
for once awakened, and applauded
the singer enthusiastically. Many
songs were repeated several times,
as well as responding to many en
cores. The program was of a high stand
ard of merit and consisted of
Swedish, Finnish, German, French
and English songs, and was well
selected in order to display tho art
ist's versatile temperament. Mile. Wes
terlind possesses a dramatic mezzo
soprano voice .of a vibrant quality,
flexible and elastic, and sings with
such deep feeling. Her intonation,
method, of attack, and enunciation
are perfect, she having studied ninny
years with the best teachers in Paris,
Berlin and Leipzig.
"Seguidllle," from the opera "Car
men," was especially fine, and tho
audience demanded a repetition of
this number. The words are French,
but It seemed to make no difference
in what language the artiste was
singing, the people easily understood
the meaning of the song. Mile.
Westerlind comes to us with press
notices from all over the world laud
ing her merits.
A notable feature of the evening's
entertainment and one that contri
buted much to tho enjoyment of the
concert was the intelligent and artist
ic interpretation of the accompanist,
Mrs. Wm. Horsfall. She fully justi
fied tho brilliant reputation she en
joys by last night's super.b execution.
A perfection of technical ability and
musical knowledge resulted In per
fect unity In ensemble, and the sym
pathy between tho pianlsto and the
singer was manifest throughout tho
evening's performance. It was a real
pleasure to observe how finely tho in
tentions of one conformed to the
other and how tho important wns
separated from the Incidental and
brought to notice. When one con
siders beside the dazzling though
solid technlc, tho richly colored, mo
dulated touch which compassed
strength and delicacy, tho precision
and grace of rhythm was remark
able. A week ago Sunday afternoon,
Mile. Westerlind gave a concert at
tho Greek theatre in Berkeley, at
which C,000 people were present.
Her program consisted of songs from
eight different Innguages, and a gen
tleman who was present and now is
in tho city says the applause was
almost deafening.
Mile. Westerlind Is a highly cul
tivated lady and an accomplished
linguist and has a charming person
ality and gracious manner.
Marshfield should tako advantage
of this golden opportunity and to
night tho Masonic Opera House
should bo filled to overflowing. Tho
program Is entirely different. One of
her most Interesting numbers will bo
an Aria from tho opera "Lohengrin";
"Elsa's Dream," by Wagner. It hardly
seems possible that wo have such an
artist with us and one having such a
largo repertoire.
A notable and pretty feature of tho
evening was tho beautiful floral of
fering given Mile. Westerlind by a
number of her follow countrymen on
Coos Bay. It was a thoughtful and
beautiful tribute to this talented
woman.

Desires the Renomination
of Executive.
(By Associated Press.)
SARATOGA, N. Y., Sept. 14.
That Gov. Hughes will be renominat
ed on tomorrow's balloting became
all but a certainty today. The anti-
Hughes men say that if Hughes is
nominated "the responsibility will be
placed just where It belongs."
The convention will meet at S
o'clock this afternoon. The feature
of today Is a speech by Secretary oE
State Ellhu Root, as temporary ani
permanent chairman.
In discussing the governorship
with a large group of up state dele
gates to the Republican State Con
vention, Republican State Chalrmaa
Woodruff declared that if Hughes is
nominated by tho convention, it will
mean this fall the greatest slump the
Republican party in the state ever ex
perienced.
Fight Over Platform.
Tho indications are this afternooft.
that the fight on the platform will be
a bitter one. There probably will be
little difficulty In getting through the
general endorsement of the adminis
tration of Governor Hughes, so the
trouble will mainly bo over the anti
race track gambling bills, and the
governor's recommendation for a di
rect nomination primary election Jaw.
In his address Secretary Root said
the convention should nominate x
successor to Hughes in such a way
that tho Empire state shall surely
cast her electoral vote for tho Re
publican candidate to succeed Roose
velt. Tho speaker compared the re
cords of Roosevelt and Hughes and
said that more than ordinary vigor
and sternness In the enforcement of
law had characterized tho conduct oE
tho executives, and ho declared that
in enforcing tho anti-gambling laws.
Governor Hughes only performed his
duty. He said the question for the
voters- to answer in November is.
"How shall wo secure a continuance)
of the good government under whlci
wo have attained our blessings." Ho
spoke of the work of the two parties
and declared that the Republican
Bhows performance while tho Demo
cratic tenders nothing but promises
and that in tho second Cleveland ad
ministration, when the party had the
control, their promises were not kept.
