George Mackenzie -who arrlTed on

perience of meeting here friends

that he had left In England when he
left that country a few years ago.
The latter family came direct here

Concerning Mr Mackenzie. The
Gazette of Lexington, Ky., says:
"George Mackenzie, the Main
street tailor, left Wednesday on the
Queen and Crescent Railroad for
Oregon.
"Mr. Mackenzie and his family
have been in tlfts country eighteen
months, coming direct from White
ley, Bay, North Umberland county,
England.
"They are going to Marshfleld,
Coos county. Ore. Marshfleld, with
two other towns, Empire and North
Bend, are right on Coos Bay. Marsh-1
Held has about 5,000 population, and
lb a great lumbering town. Its
standing timber alone is estimated to
exceed fifty billion feet, and there
are more than 400 square mi!es of
coal lands. Three hundred dairy
farms surround Coos Bay, and the
farming and fruit raising industry
offer good opportunities.
"There is no railroad to Marsh
fleld but three are being put In. .Mr.
Mackenzie will have to take the
Bteamer at Portland.
"Mr. Mackenzie owns property in
England, and he wants a home on
the Pacific coast and in England.
Many friends wish him success in
his undertaking.
"Little Marrlon Mackenzie, seven
years of age, who exhibited such an
enviable reputation as a musician In
the recital of Mrs. Ford, has also

High Price of Bird Likely to
Cause Substitution of
Other Meat
"With turkey at thirty cents per
pound, It is likely that ducks, geese
and chicken will be substituted for
the Thanksgiving bird in tho na
tional feast dinners in many homes
Thursday. The birds weigh from
eight to fifteen pounds so that the
cost of turkey alone would be from
$2.50 to $4.50. The cranberries,
celery, fruit, etc., would make the
cost of the "goodies" usually asso
ciated with Thanksgiving, pretty
high.
With wild ducks as .lumerous as
they have been the past week, it is
likely that they will take tbe place
of the Turkey in many Coos Bay
"homes. The price of chicken will
probably also go a few notches higher
on account of the demand that will
probably result from many filing
