FREPARE TOR BIG EVENT ON OAK
Entertainment of Delegates to
Oregon-Idaho Development
Congress Is Carefully Plan
ned. Preliminary n-rangements for en
tertaining the delegates to tho Oregon-Idaho
Deve'opment Congress
here August 20 and 21 are pro
gressing nicely and the event prom
ises to win new laurels for Coos
Bay. The Young Men's Commercial
Club of Marshfleld, and the North
Bend Commercial Club will have
charge of the social side of the con
gress while the program and busi
ness side will be under the auspices
of the Chambers of Commerce of
the two cities. G. W. Kaufman rep
resenting the Commercial Club, has
held conferences with others re
garding it and it Is presumed that
the matter will be made a special
order of business at the next session.
In a day or two, the business men
of Coos Bay will be asked to write
the heads of the various Portland
firms with which they do business
to come here for the meeting. It is
expected that in this way, many of
the most Influential men in the state
will b? brought here for the event.
A special steamer will be chartered
at Portland so that there will be no
trouble over transportation facil
ities. The following general Invitation
Is being sent to the commercial bo
dies of tho state urging them to
have representatives at the meeting:
"There will be held on Coos Bay,
August 20th and 21st, the annual
meeting of the Oregon & Idaho
Development League. This league
was organized a year ago by some of
the most prominent men of the two
states, headed by Senator Chamber
lain, who was at that time Governor
of Oregon.
"The object and purposes of this
organization are, and have been to
more closely ally the business and
commercial organizations of the two
states that are directly affected by
either limited transportation fncll
itler. or, as In a greater portion of
the two states, by no modern trans
portation facilities at all. This con
dition affects the material interest of
the two states, and particularly the
area of such states without transpor
tation facilities, which is by far the
malor portion thereof. In fact it
has become a common expression by
nubile speakers of Press and Plat
form 'that "we have an empire not
touched by rail." This condition
affects every community of the two
states. Are not the citizens of the
Willamette and Umpcria nioro par
ticularly affected by it? Your clHs

"You have also an empire direct

no railroad or modern transporta
tion condition which will assist In

or your own development.
"In a very short time the Panama

the many Important features to be
discussed by this congress.
"That the work of this congress

organization and cooperation, we In
vite you to send a delegation to co
operate with us In this work.
"The cities of the Bay are plan
ning to give our delegations and vis

a parade of launches carrying the

"Col. E. Hofer of Salem, and Mr.
Riley Atkinson of Boise, Idaho, re
spectively, president and secretary of
the league, have authorized the local
organization of the Bay to extend
invitations to all commercial bodies
interested and arrange for a program
of social entertainment. The list of
speakers is being compiled by the of
ficers of the league and will be issu
ed later. We would say, however,
that the senators, representatives
and governors of the two states have
been invited to be present and tako
part in the discussions. Already we
have assurances of the presence of
other prominent speakers.

send you for distribution, our pro

delegates and visitors to the cour

Wife Secreted Cash
Around Home.
John Golden has been making
small Hnd3 of money around his
homo from time to time ever since
his wife died some time ago. Mrs.
Golden was somewhat of a saver and
being rather eccentric resorted to
tho old method of secreting her mon
ey. '
"This," said Mr. Golden, "she did
in order to have money on hand in
case of sickness or accidents." None
of tho hiding places wero ever mado
known to Mr. Golden, however, and
the result Is that every once in a
whllo ho makes a find, the amounts
being of about thirty dollars or so.
Mr. Golden has made several finds of
about this amount and whether
thero Is any more cash hidden about
his unknown to him.
The report in circulation yester
day that he had unearthed over n
thousand dollars was denied by him.

Indian Girl's Body Disinter
red Apparently to Rob
Grave.
y
The discovery of tho skull and
other portions of a human skeleton
on the Geroml place about a mile
and a half below Empire last even
ing caused quite a sensation there
and gave rise to all sorts of stories
relative to murder, etc. Coroner
Golden was called there this morn
ing and after making a careful In
vestigation decided that It was tho
skeleton of an Indian girl who was
buried several years ago near where
the bones were found.
This was substantiated by AVm.
Saunders, an Empiro pioneer who
recalled the burial of tho girl. Au
effort to have tho skeleton further
Identified through buttons, etc.,
found near the bones failed, a cou
ple of aged Indian women near Em
piro being unable to Identify them.
Tho only strange thing about tho
matter was that some of the bones
appeared charred as though they
had been in a fire. ,
Some believe that thl3 Indicates
that tho body was dug "up by some
one for tho purpose of securing tho
relics, trinkets and valuables that
were burled with many of tho In
dian bodies Interred on ll'ic penin
sula. They claim that after digging
up" the body, tho miscreant attempted-
to cremate tho bones In hopes of
absolutely secreting his ghoulish
work.
A number of years ago, a man
was sent to state's prison for rob
bing the Indian graves near Empiro
and that example Is supposed to
have resulted in tho caution of tho
present grave robbers,
The bones found today appeared
to have beon exposed to tho weather
for sonio time. As near as could

that tho Indian girl's grave had re
