Ejirth Quake Coos Bay?

the Coos Bay Times uf Fri­
day, January 8th says:
Did Coos Bay
experience an
earth quake tremor this morning?
This is the cause of much debate
on the streets this afternoon.
A
large numb* r declare it did and
others ridicule the idea.
W. S. Turpen who went through
the Frisco earthquake a few years
ago, declares that there were three
distinct shocks between to and
eleven d’clock this morning. He
was in his office on the floor above
the Chamber of Commerce and is
positive he w»s not mistaken. He
says others in the building noticed it.
H. W. Skinner and Otto Schetter,
Mrs. E. Mingus,
Miss Mamie
Mahoney and other declare that they
felt the tremor.
Dr. E. Mingus said that there
was blasting being done back of the
city and it was barely possible it
might have caused a tremor like a
real earthquake but he doubted if it
would be felt as far as down town.
Today was one of the days for
which the big quakes for Sicily and
Southern Italy was prophesized but
it is beyond reason that a quake
coukl be detected other than by the
seismograph at this distance.
Ow­
ing to the telegraph wires being
down, it was impossible to secure
any information from possible earth­
quakes today.
Reviewing the cattie aectiou of the
huge Minnesota state fair, »he giant
ex|s>nent of the great northwest, the
Breeder’s Gazette, Chicago, from
which the cut Is reproduced. Includes
the following In Its running comment:
The awards in the class of aged
Shorthorn bulls scattered this fair's
money and commendation from Ken­
tucky to North Dakota. A contest that
will prove memorable In Shorthorn
history was waged in this spacious
and well appointed arena.
Most of the strong herds at Iowa
moved up to Minnesota, where they
were not exactly “welcomed with
bloody hands to hospitable grave«,”
but where the breeders of the home
state gave them all the competition
they wanted and then some. But
even at that one graud championship
went to faroff Kentucky aud the other
to Missouri.
White Hail Marshal fought his way
to another championship, winning In
the aged class over the beautiful white
Bapton Favorite, which wants only
some tilling of the bottom line to give
pause to nearly any competitor.

mous favor for a cow denied as was

“The ‘Ohio idea’ is one of education
-»to teach, to show, to Illustrate by
graphic example. At Columbus there
is this year, as is usual, graphic ex­
ample of how best to do the belt
things.” Thus neatly Joseph E. Wing
■urns up in the Breeder's Gazette, Chi­
cago, bls impression of the big Buck­
eye fair, but he adds, among other re­
marks:
The defect in the management of
this fair was one so familiar that men
have forgotten to see it any more, the
failure to mark or catalogue animals
so that any Intelligent study of them
could l>e made. Ohio is no worse sin­
ner in this respect than some other
states. The writer, wandering in the
horse barn searching for a particular
animal, overheard tills from a man
who, with his wife, was seeking to
learn something: “I can't tell anything
about them. There is no one around
to tell a man anything.” Turning to
the writer, he asked, "I want to see
the Belgians and to compare them
with the Percfcerons, and I wish to
find one I'ercherou especially.”
It is uearly as bad in the cattle
bams. If not catalogues, why not sim­
ple, plain, but good sized cards an­
nouncing names of owners, name of
animal, breed and age? Would not
more men go to fairs If they could
renlly study the animals with any
comfort or understanding?

“Americans who grumble about hav­
ing to wait a long time for books when
applying to a public library,” said a
Boston literary woman, “should try to
work or study in a foreign library, par­
ticularly in Germany.
“The typical continental librarian
takes no account of time. The reader,
worker or student must turn in bis or
her application for books at least a day
in advance. The men who search for
the books applied for are aged, totter­
ing creatures who have been shuffling
around the dusty piles of books for
years, and the word hurry is not in
their vocabulary.
“The most priceless books and man­
uscripts are kept in places which are
perfect fire traps, and disorder pre­
dominates in every department. When
you speak about the Impossible meth­
ods employed the librarians tell you
that they are too poor to introduce any
modern indexes or catalogues. This Is
to some extent so, but as a matter of
fact they would not change If they
had all the money In the world at their
disposal.
“They do not wish to encourage the
common people to use books. The
learned are among the aristocracy, and
the spread of the knowledge which is
bidden in those wonderful literary mu­
seums Is far from the purpose of the
men at the head of Eurojie's libraries.
“There may be some delay tn our li­
braries, but our people in the lower
walks of life are certainly ahead of
the common |>eople of the old world in
the matter of getting books when they
want them, and generally free of
charge.” New York Telegram.

Tom Maguire, a logger, attempt­
ed to commit suicide at the Central
hotel this morning by slashing his
throat with a razor He succeeded
in severing his windpipe but the
large veins escaped and in con­
sequence, he may recover.
He
was taken to the Marshfield General
hospital where Dr. Mingus dressed
his wounds.
Maguire is about forty years old
and his attempt to shuffle off the
mortal coil was the result of despon­
dency. He was workrng near Alle­
gany but came to Marshfield shortly
before the holidays to do a little
celebrating before his New Year’s
resolutions became effective. The
resolutions were evidently lost sight
of in the remorse that followed.
The following note was found by
Marshal J. W. Carter in Maguire’s
room and was evidently written af­
ter he had slashed himself as it was
not complete:
