ILL Kil
Hi DEAD
Sister of S. B. Cathcart Suc
cumbs at Suisun, Cal., After
Long Illness.
S. B. Cathcart has Just received
word of the death of his sister, Mrs.
Myra H. Scarlett, at her home near
Suisun, Cal. Mrs. Scarlett was well
known on Coos Bay where she visited
a number of times. Mr. Cathcart re
cently visited her. She had been ill
for some time. Concerning her death,
the Solano County Courier says:
"This vicinity has lost another
pioneer in the person of Mrs. Myra
H. Scarlett. That estimable woman
passed away last Friday at her home
in Fairfield after a long and linger
ing illness. She was taken sick in
the early spring and notwithstanding
the best of medical attention and
nursing, she gradually failed until
death called her on Friday.
"Deceased was the widow of the
late W. W. Scarlett, who passed
away at his home in Suisun Valley
In the fall of 1S99. She was a na
tive of Washington county, Indiana,
aged 79 years, S months and 16 days.
In her native state she was married
to W. W. Scarlet on May 22, 1845.
They lived in Indiana six years and
then moved to Iowa. Ten years
later, in 1861, the family emigrated
to Oregon. A year was spent there
and in 1862 they came to California,
settling in this vicinity. Suisun
Valley was the home of the deceased
from that time until a few years
after the death of her husband, when
she removed to Fairfield.
"Deceased was a noble Christian
woman and has been held in the
highest esteem by this community
throughout her long residence here.
The most that might be said of her
gentleness and other many womanly
-attributes would be but faint praise
compared to her real worth and the
regard in which she is spoken of by
her neighbors and intimate friends.
"Surviving the deceased are the
following children: Samuel and
Frank O. Scarlett of Suisun Valley,
William C. Scarlett of Bakersfield,
James E. Scarlett of Yolo and Mrs.
E. C. Howard of Woodland.
"The funeral took place Sunday
afternoon at 1:30 from the Fairfield
Methodist church. Rev. R. Burley,
pastor of the church, conducted the
service. A large number of friends
and neighbors were present to pay a
last tribute to the memory of the
deceased. The remains were Inter
red In the cemetery at Fairfield. The
following grandsons of the deceased
were the pallbearers: Qhas. E. Rob
erts and Lloyd Scarlett of Suisun
Valley, Marvin Howard of Woodland,
Arthur Scarlett of Colusa, Wilson
Scarlett of Santa Rosa, Oaks Scar
lett of Yolo, and Walter and Asa
Scarlett of Suisun Valley.

M
FOR COM
A VALUABLE ACQUISITION TO
THE MUSICAL EDUCATIONAL
FACILITIES OF THIS SECTION
IS ANNOUNCED BY PROF. TODD
About a year ago, Mr. Elmer A.
Todd located in Marshfleld with the
purpose of establishing a schoo of
music which should offer superior
advantages to students in all grades
from primary to graduate and post
graduate courses.
His ultimate aim was to include all
branches' taught In Eastern and Euro
pean conservatories, and to associate
with himself musicians well equipped
with the most modern and up-to-date
methods.
i
j The progressive musician of the
present day considers indispensable
the association of teachers and stu-
' dents of different branches of the
art, in rounding out a broad and
thorough education. Mr. TOdd hav-
. ing been a member of the faculty of
the Metropolitan Conservatory of
j Music of Chicago, and for years well-
) known as concert organist and choral
! director throughout the middle west,
has enjoyed the personal acquaint
ance and friendship of many of the
world's greatest musicians and is
eminently well fitted for the office of
' director of a conservatory of music.
I His influence in the music of Coos
j Bay the past year demonstrates this,
, and no one will deny that his efforts
ihave appreciably contributed towards
I raising the standard of music.
j This year, the Coos Bay Academy
; oi .music win open wun a iacuity oi
four members, each one an artist in
, his or her department, and the bran
ches taught will Include piano, voice,
I violin, harmony, counterpoint, etc.,
; vocal sight reading, ensemble play-
ing and musical kindergarten.
I The vocal department will be In
.charge of Miss Mabel Clare Millis,
, whose appearance as contralto soloist
in "The Messiah" last spring and
'later appearances have demonstrated
; her to be a gifted singer with a meth
od which Is faultless.
Miss MUlls was for several years
a pupil of Madam Reed of Portland,
j and for the past, two years has been
(studying in one of the best-known
institutions of New York.
To be able to study with a teacher
who can constantly illustrate in a
fresh voice, unimpaired by years of
over use, Is a rare advantage which
will undoubtedly be appreciated by
all who realize the importance of
starting with a proven safe method,
as well as those wishing to further
develop and improve.
Mr. Todd will be assisted in the
piano department by Miss Lucy
Sherwood Horton, a young lady of
rare talent and several years of train
ing under Mr. J. J. Blackmore, a pu
pil of Leschetiz'ky and one of the
best exponents of his method 'in
America.
Miss Horton has also studied at
Chatauqua, N. Y under direction of
Win. H. Sherwood.
She will, besides taking private
pupils, have charge of the musical
kindergarten. '
Arrangements are about complet
ed for a violinist who is expected to
be here in time to take part in the
opening faculty concert which will
occur about October 1st.
Salt In Cooking.
If one portion of a vegetable Is cook
ed In purp wntpr. the other half In
salted water, a .decided difference Is
perceptible In the tenderness of the
two. Those boiled In pure water are
vastly .Inferior and In many cases will
be almost tasteless. Salt brings out
the delicate flavor of cauliflower, cab
bage, potatoes, peas, beans and prac
tically all vegetables. Onions cooked
In water .without salt can be rendered
almost tasteless. As salt Increases the
temperature of boiling water, its cook
ing ndvuntngc Is at once apparent.
Salt In cold water Is used to drive In
sects from vegetables growing above
ground.
Go to the Trees.
When n man tires of life he should
go. to nature and renew his vitality.
There is nn odor from tho trees, the
flbwers and tho grass that Intoxicates
like wine, except that It leaves nt
headache. There Is a subtle aronu
that gets Into a man's heart, brain and
soul.
