SEPT- 1, 1903.
Onr first pago this week is d e
voted to a lengthy description of
the Louisnna Purchase exposition
at S tLon is.
The work o f get
ting up a fine display for Coos
County should be pushed forward
as rapidly as possible. Th is is too
grand an opportunity to miss.
The
appropriations
have been
made for the Lewis and Clai k ex
position, and we may as well get
in and reap our share o f the bene
fits as to lay back on our oars and
allow other sections all the advan
tage. As we said during the agi
tation o f the Lewis and Clark
move, if we do not get our share
o f the benefits to be derived form
this exposition, it will Certainly
be our own fault.
One good dis
play can be osed for both o f these
affairs and will nat cost a great
deal either.
I f the county court
has no
right to expend county
funds for such ¡purpose, a series of
entertainments should be given for
the benefit o f a fund for this pur
pose.
The Southern Oregon Stats N or
mal School begins this vear’s work
September i6tb. A large working
library bas been added; the physi
cal and chemical laboratory has
been fu lly equipped; a now gym-
nasiam building is being erected,
and a large and handsome school
building is nearing completion.
The sobool grounds are beautiful
and picturesque. The health condi
tions are o f the best; the sooial en
vironment is pure and stimulating;
the course of study has been
strengthened and made more prac
tical. The faculty has been in
creased in number and the school
is now equipped to do work o f the
highest order. This school belongs
to Southern Oregon.
I t desires
and merits the patronage o f the
people o f this great section. For
catalogue uddress,
B e n ja m in F. M u lk e y , President,
Ashland, Oregon.
And now someone is uukind
enough to come forward with the
statement Moses, the great law giv
er, married a negro and to cite the
first verse o f the twelfth chapter of
Numbers in support o f the prop
osition.

Kiug Peter o f Servia is between
his satanic majesty and tho deep
sea. The European powers object
to his retaining in office tue as
sassins of his predecessor and the
assassius threaten
to return to
their former trade if K ing Peter
turns them out o f office.
The circumlocution methods of
the Government are demonstrated
bv the fact that -the Department
o f Agriculture is advertising for
“ expert grafters” when the Post-
office Department, just two blocks
away, has more than it knows what
to do with.

George Gonld carries out his plans,
within a short time he will have
reached the Pacific coast with a
railroad in two places, one in Cali
fornia and the other in Oregnn.
W hile tho two roads m y retain
separate corporation identities, the
management will be something like
that of the Union Pacific aud Ore
gon Short Line.
B y the same interest the Western
Pacific is to connect Gould’s system
at Salt Lake with San Francisco,
while the Coos Bay road is to form
a link between Salt Lake and the
northwestern coast.
It is the intention to build up
the port o f Coos Bay, which will
bid against Portland and Seattle
for the great and growing trade be
tween the Pacific northwest and Si
beria, China, Corea and Japan.
The construction of the Sibsrian
railroad has gived an immense ira-
mence impetus to the trade of the
northwestern ports and JGould,
backed by Rockefeller, 'is determin
ed to have a share of it.
The Coos Bay road has not been
surveyed, but as pro jo ted in a
general way it is run from Coos Bay,
100 miles north of tho California
line, southwest through the rich tim
ber and agricu ltu ral bistricts of
Southern Oregon, across northern
Nevada rnd Utah into Salt Lake,

Jeesse E. Todd, 27 years old, of
468 East Ninth street, was instantly
killed in the darkness of early Sun
day morning by being run over by
gravel cais used for grading for the
Orgon Water Power & Railway
Company, on the East Side, op
posite Ross Island.
When thejfatillity happened, on
ly Todd ami the engineer o f train
were present, and it was Todd’s
duty to give a signal to the engin
eer to start the train by flashing a
lantern. The signal was given but
from n’ direciion that was unexpected
and suddenly the engineer saw the
lighted lamp between tho cars. On
stoping the train he found that
Todd had disappeared, and that the
lamp dangled form a coupling pin.
A short | distance away Todd’s
body was found, with the head sev
ered from the body. The latter'was
badly cut. It is supposed that
Todd missed his footing and either
fell from a car, or between the cars.
His father is a survayor in the
Philippine Islen Is, and his home in
this country was at Forest Grove.—
Oregonian
Decased was a son of Aurelias
Todd, formerl o f this city, and a
grandson of our townslady Mrs,
Elizabeth Fouts.

There is little joy in living when the dis

one wakes from a restless night more tired
than the night before; when one is forced to

which may be speedily regulated and
