We have received information throngh private sources that the Harriman people have placed an order for sWl rails on the proposed wvlroad from Drain to Coos bay. This looks like business, and one may count on things humming about Coos in the future. Stoney Wells, brother of J. D. Wells, of this city, arrived in Cor valhs, Tuesday from Mill City.

Kline and wife arrived home from San Francisco, Tuesday evening, lhey were away many weeks and during their absence visited in Denver, Chicago and San Francisco three very fine cities. Mr. Kline aays that during his ab sence he heard no complaint indi cative that r the sections visited by him was not in every way pros The night before OAC's football team departed for Berkeley, Califor nia, where they are to play tomor row, Jesse Spencer had a dream of mere than ordinary interest. He said that in. his dream he saw our boys and Berkeley on the gridiron and OAC was knocking Berkeley's men down just as though they were so many cob houses. It is to be hoped the dream does not work on the rule of the contrary. Next week Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Emery will break up housekeeping. Mrs. Emery has considerable lung trouble and will go to Portland and place herself under the care of Dr. Cauthorn for an indefinite period. She will then go to Southern Cal ifornia to spend the, winter and may possibly remain longer. Cecil Emery, son of the above, has a good position ottered him in .Portland and the chances "are that he will accept it. Of the family this will leave only the husband and father in this city. r. One of the most promising of the new plays thiB season is "Honest Hearts," which the vivacious com edienne, ' Alma Hearn, has chosen for her starring tour. It appears to be true to its title, a play of honest worth, beine a genuine American pastoral comedy with a pretty1 ro mance interwoven with quaint characters and rich humor of the south. Miss Hearn is supported by a fine company and the realistic farm and river scenes are elaborate and picturesque. At the Opera House tonight. Reserved seats now on sale. We are in receipt of the following self-explanatory note from Jeffer son Myers, president of the Lewis and Clark Exposition Commission desire, on the behalf of the Com mission, to thank you most kindly for your generosity in furnishing a copy of your paper ta the office during our term of work. Through the press we have received a great deal of valuable . information, and certainly no other, public enterprise has ever been treated so kindly by the Press of the State as has the Lewis and Clark Exposition, and on behalf of the people of Oregon, and the Commission, which. I have tiionp 4tp represent, I wish to express bur sincere thanks for ; this attitude on your part towards this gr: at undertaking.. Benton's Awards. "Never before in the history of any ex position has the official liei of diplomat for medals been given out so quicKly," said Colonel Dosch . "Little more than two weeks have elapsed since the Fair close 1, and we are able to make public an official list of (mil awards. . In two weeks more, all awards will have been made public. 'The returns from the St Louis Expo sition are not all in yet, a year after the closing of that Fair. I had some of my own fruit entered there, and only the other day I got word that if all went well, I would be apprised of my awards shortly." To Colonel Dosch himself, more than anyone else, is due the credit for having the official list so nearly completed and the fine showing made. Although set back at the beginning of bis work by unavoidable delays, since then he has laoored unceasingly to finish with ex pediency and acenracy. Every award has been carefully reviewed by him to avoid any possibility of mistake. At the present time, the relative stand ing of Oregon and the other states having fruit displays at the Exposition cannot be given, as the other lists are not yet finished. I., is known, however, that Oregon is well to the front. All of the judging in horticulture was done by H. E. Van Deman, ex-United States Pom- ologist, who officiated in a similar capa city at Buffalo and St Louis. For two months be has worked constantly and and his decisions are final.

Good Roads Letter. The following letter has been sent to all vice-presidents of the Oregon Good Roads Association, who in the maioruv ol cases are county judges: Dear Sir: It has been decided at a meeting of the executive committee to hold the annual meeting of this association at Corvallis on November 15, 16 and 17. It is earnestly hoped that you will be able to attend. Following the line adopted at the last annual convention held in Salem in December, 1904, it has beri. decided to confine the discussions and", papers, so .far as practicable, to a single line rather than to scatter over the various phases of the good roads Additional Local. leading wall paper 30i- rugs at 30tf question, and this time having in view the great preponderance of the earth roads and the certain tv that this proposition must continue, though perhaps in a diminishing degree, for many years we will take up the subject of how best to build and main tain earth roads. It is believed that the discus sion of this question will be of very great practical value to all who are practically connected in any manner with building and maintaining roads. I send you, under separate cover, a bulletin issued by the Missouri state board of agricultural, containing a val uable article on " the use of the "King split log drag," to which we ask your earnest consideration. To show that the value placed upon it by Judge Scott, president of the association, in which esti mate I share enthusiastically, enclose with the bulletin a copy of the Salem Weekly Statesman, containing-a letter which Judge Scott has sent with, the bulletin to every supervisor of this county. I shall be glad to hear that you will be able to attend this convention. , which we hope to Miss Lillian Ranney, who hap been in Portland for the past two weeks, is expected home tomorrow.
