Poolroom Unlawful. NOTE A N D C O M M EN T. Located at Gravel Ford, in the fertile, as well as picturesque valley of the North Fork o f the Coquille river, is the Gravel Ford Academy. This institution, though in its in fancy, is a promising one, and bids fair to being the leading educational institution of southern Oregon. Situated as it is, in the country, with nothing to detract the mind from study, with nature smiling on every side, and with thorough in structors in every branch studied, the student who enters this school cannot help making rapid advance ment. Last fall a “ Home” was built for all boarding students, and is rapidly filling up with young people from different parts of Douglas, Curry and Coos counties. Prof. F. 8. Bunch, principal of the school, needs no recommenda tions. The greater part of his life having been spent in this county, his career as an educator is wide spread. Miss Myra Camp, of Roseburg, and a graduate from Drain, is the assistant. She is also a teacher of experience, having spent several years in the public schools and col leges of Oregon and Washington. Thirty-five students are now en rolled with the promise of many more when all have come who have made application for scholarship. Last year Douglas county had one representative at this school. This year there are four. Curry county sent two last year. This year there are three, with the promise of as many more. A teachers’ class has been or ganized for the benefit o f those wishing to fit themselves for that special work, and now has about twelve members. In the home everything is neat ness and order. Miss Bosen, of Curry county, whose position is that of matron, is the right person in the right place, being n good house keeper, an excellent cook, and in every respect a perfect lady. Miss Camp, of Douglas county, is the preceptress and has the general oversight of the “ Home” students. The Gravel Ford Academy can well congratulata itself for having secured the services of two such ac complished young ladies. Friends, are you going to help the good work along by patronizing this place of learning, or will you go elsewhere, paying more, and per haps receieve an inferior grade of education? This school certainly deserves the patronage of Coos county. O bsbrvek . Presiding Judge George, of the State Circuit Couat, this morning announced a decision refusing to grant the application of M. G. Nease to enjoin Sheriff Word from interfering with his business as manager of the Warwick poolrooms, and also to cause the ejectment from the premises of the keeper stationed there by the Sheriff. In the de cision which he handed down Judge George cited a number of author ities both pro and con. In the ma jority of caseB it was held that a pool room was a nuisance because games of chance were plnved there, and evils were inculcated in the minds of the stupid and youthful. Under the Oregon law the main question was whether pool-selling was gambling. The court held that it is. There is no rule of common law defining gambling in this state, said the court, but the statute of 1876 defines it as a game of gain, and especially a game of chance. In law dictionaries it is defined as a game of chance, or the buying and selling of goods at variation in prices. Common law states that it is a nuisance because it inculcates evil. Games would not he so ob noxious to criminal law uuless they endangerel life or limb or Ihe pub lic morals. The plaintiff sought an injunc tion restraining the Sheriff from en forcing the law against gambling. He had obtained a license from the Council to conduct a poolroom, but the Council had no right to grant such a license. In the case against Peter Grant, of the Portland Club, the court had held that the charter did not repeal the state law. It simply added to it and went further in order to enable officers to |seize and destroy property. Preventive power was given to the city, because gaming and disorderly houses tend, ed to public disorder.- -Telegram. Ella Wheeler Wilcox says she is leading a|“ rushed, jammed, triple life.” Col.

Marshfield, Oregon, Nov. 21.— Potatoes are showing a decided improvement in San Francisco, especially for the better grades. A fair shipping demand is develop ing and if this continues stock will be materially reduced. There has been a marked falling off in the receipts of apples, but the supply on hand is more than ample and as a result there has been no improvement in prices. Butter still continues to decline with no sign of a stop as the re ceipts are running far in excess of the sales. Cheese is also declining. Locally there are quite a number of growers who are anxious to dis pose of tlieir apples, but the San Francisco market not being in good shape makes the buyers very cau tious in their movements, in fact, two of them have withdrawn from the field in this territory entirely. Tho election returns fail to show that Union Labor had the smallost influence on the result.
