Coos County, Oregon, which an nounced some time ago that it would erect a separate pavilion at the Lewis and Clark Exposition, has made good its announcement by selecting a site for the structure. The pavilion will stand a short distance from the Colon nade Entrance, a little to the west of the Administration Building. Coos County's Building will be 50x60 feet in size, and will be constructed entirely of Coos county materials. Coos county workmen ' will perform the labor, and a Coos county man will oversee the job. Coos county timber resources will be exploited in a most practical way in the construction of the building.which will be finished inside and out. For the interior the decorations will be in panel work, the different valuable woods being used to advantage in this way. Among the woods so used will be the myrtle, maple, alder, white and yellow firs, white cedar, Port Orford cedar, red cedar, and oak. The block myrtle of Coos county, the country's most famous wood, is worth $500 per thousand feet, B. M. Construction work on the building will be begun in a few days and the building will be completed and fitted with exhibits several weeks before the opening day. The building will cost about $10,000. TRAFFIC TOO LIGHT Additional Train Desired By Newberg People Not Justified by Amount of Travel. Officers Are Installed. The ladies of Lilac Hive, No. 28, L. O. T. M., installed their officers at the home of Mrs. E. C. Kirkpatrick last Thursday evening. The new officers are: Mrs. Blanche Eakin, commander; Mrs. Eva Hayter, past commander; Mrs. Mary Kirkpatrick, lieutenant-commander; Mrs. KittieN. Miller, record keeper; Mrs. Eliza J. Black, finance keeper; Mrs. E. H. VanOrsdel, chaplain; Mrs. Rosa E. Fidler, sergeant ;Mrs. Myrtle Johnson, mistress-at-arms ; Mrs. Eva Woods, sentinel; Mrs. Olga Holman, picket "Experiment with gasoline motor cars, the first of which will be de livered within a few weeks, is for the purpose of furnishing more frequent service to towns where operation of additional regular trains is not justi fied by present traffic conditions," said W. E. Coman when asked in reference to the desire of the people of Newberg for more frequent passenger trains. "Trains are operated in accordance with the wish ot, residents of this terri tory as to the way they shall be run, in view of the fact that business does not justify operating another daily train, and as a whole I believe the people are very well satisfied with the service. Could sufficient traffic be had to war rant placing another passenger train in service on that road I am sure that it would be most gratifying to the Southern Pacific Company to operate the train."

The following biographical sketch of the late James W. Lewis, of Polk county, appears in Monday's Ore gonian : "James Webb Lewis, a pioneer of 1852, was born in Buchanan County, Missouri, July 2, 1843, of English ancestry, his father, W. P. Lewis, descending from the Virginia Lewises, and was related to Captain Meriwether Lewis. Mr. Lewis, with his parents settled in the southern part of Polk County in the Fall of 1852, and he resided in that county, with the excep tion of ten years, until the date of his death, the second day of this month, after a short illness. He was married to Miss Sarah Ann Riggs, who came to Oregon in 1853, on February 8, 18C6, and became the father of three boys, two of whom, Webb C. and Arch R. with their mother, survive him and live at Crowley, Polk County. "He became a member of the M. E. Church fully 3G years ago, and has been superintendent of the Oak Grove Sunday school for 25 years or more. When the Polk County Pioneer Asso ciation was organized, upwards of teu years ago, he was elected secretary, to which position he has been elected annually ever since without a dissent ing voice. "Such was the esteem in which he was held by those who knew him most intimately that his departure is re garded as a public loss. While a plain and unassuming man, uncon- consciously to himself he gained the confidence and good will of the citizens of his vicinity to an unusual degree, and has left behind to his sons legacy that is immeasurably better than gold alone." ALL WILL BE THERE Every State in the Union Will Represented at Lewis and Clark Fair. Be Big Factory for Eugene. Rumor is current in Eugene that big Eastern manufacturing concern has had emissaries at work in that section, and that ten acres of ground has been optionally secured for the establishment of what will be the largest foundry on the Pacific Coast. It is understood that the firm that is considering the location is a heavy manufacturer of traction and station ary engines and all kinds of machi nery, and will use the plant in that section to supply the Paciflo trade, Definite information is looked for at an early date. Arm Torn Off. A distressing accident ocourred at the Spaulding Logging company's big sawmill at Newberg, Friday. A big log waa being pulled up from the river, when it slipped back. This pulled up the slack on the small cable with terifflc force and John Farr was reaching over the cable to shut off the power when it struck him, wrenching his left arm off within three or four inches of the shoulder.

From infancy to old age Scott's Emulsion offers a reliable means of remedying im proper and weak develop ment, restoring lost flesh and vitality, and repairing waste. The action of Scott's Emulsion is no more of a secret than the composition of the Emul sion itself. What it does it does through nourish ment the kind of nourish ment that cannot be ob tained in ordinary food.

Y. With the principal states of the Union In line with heavy appropri ations for participation in the Lewis and Clark Exposition, the work of ex ploiting was brought to a close Mou day. During the forenoon telegrams were sent to the special representatives now working in the East and Middle West instructing them to return to headquarters at once for assignment to other work. The work of exploiting has been successful beyond all expectations, The wonderful country of the North west with its unlimited possibilities proved an even greater drawing card than was at first believed possible, The result is that every state in the Union will be represented in some way or other at the Exposition. Some come with liberal appropriations rang ing from $450,000 to $10,000. The big gest appropriation outside of Oregon is the one recently provided by the California Legislature for the total of $90,000. The smallest is the Missouri appropriation of $10,000, but Missouri has done much for the Exposition in other ways during the recent Exposi tion at St. Louis, Here is a list of the states that have set aside monev for participation and the amount of the appropriations : Oregon $450,000 California '. 90,000 Washington , 75,000 Idaho 35,000 Montana 30,000 Utah 80,000 North Dakota 15,000 Illinois 15,000 New York... 25,000 Pennsylvania..... 60,000 Massachusetts 15,000 Missouri io,000 The following amounts of appropri ation are now pending before state or territorial Legislatures with prospects of an early settlement : Connecticut $20,000 Colorado 35,000 Wisconsin 50,000 Nebraska 15,000 Minnesota 20,000 Arizona 15,000 Of these states ten have already made arrangement for the construc tion of Individual state buildings In whioh to house portions of their ex hibits and establish a state head quarters. These states are: New York, Massachusetts, California,Utah, Idaho, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Wash ington, Missouri and Oregon. Sites have been apportioned and the work of construction will begin shortly. The first to go up will be the Massachusetts building, for which a contract will be awarded in the next few days. Outside of these states that have provided for official participation every other state in the Union will be represented on a larger or smaller scale through private exhibits. The records in the office of the Director of Exhibits Henry E. Dosch show that no state is left out, and furthermore that every nation in the world of any prominence Is included lu the list, most of them both for official and un official exhibits. Inoluded in the list of foreign participants are all the great world powers as well as countries that adorn relatively unfrequented corners of the earth. Among the foreign participants are Great Britain, Germany, France, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Holland, Hungary, Russia, Norway, Sweden, Turkey, Morocco, Eetvpt, Persia, Arabia, Argentina, Chili, New Zealand, Siam, China and Japan. The exhibits from these foreign countries will represent a value of many millions of dollars and will Include a variety of things from Oriental rugs from Tersia to rapid-fire guns from Germany. lhe policy of necessity pursued in the past few months of the exploitation work has been to keep applicants for space wuhin an area equitable to the exhibit offered. There have been appli cations for space enough to cover most of the Williamette Vallev had thev not been equitably apportioned "and toned down. As it now stands there are a variety and quality to the exhib its and a scope to the support of the Fair that insures one of the most suc cessful Expositions on record so those connected with the Exposition work are firm in declaring.

R KIDS PLAY FAST BALL Tracy Staats, of Lewisville, was in Dallas, Monday. He says that the extension of rural telephone lines is being actively carried on in the Luckiamute country, and two new lines ate now In course of con struction.

C. Guyer, F. A. Link, Jule Hannum, J. A. Hannum, E. A. Pagenkopf, R. A. Hastings, R. Taylor, I. A. Hooker, Frank Bush, Walker Bevens and T. P. Bevens.

Williams, Boaure Tartar, Tar tar Bros., Mrs. Frank Brown, William Critchlow, Leroy Byerly, W. L. Phil lips, Lloyd Guyer, Jeff Woods and Jefferson Robertson.

The Dallas Athletic Club second basketball team and the Monmouth Normal second team played a lively game in the Dallas College gym nasium, Saturday evening. The con test was a hot one, and furnished no end of amuaament for the spectators. What the teams lacked in science, they made up in snap and ginger, and there was ''something doing" every minute of the game. The goal-throwing of both teams from the foul line was superior to that of any of the older teams playing here this year. The best of feeling prevailed through out the game.

Brown, one mile north of Dallas', was totally destroyed by fire shortly after one o'clock last Friday afternoon. No one was at home when the fire started, and bv the time neighbors arrived on the scene the entire building was in flames. .None of the household goods were saved. It is believed that the fire originated either from a defective flue or from a spark falling ou the dry roof. No in surance was carried on the building or its contents. The house was a substantial frame structure, and was built 35 years ago. It had been occupied by Mr. Brown and family the greater part of the time since it was built. The loss is keenly felt by Mr. Brown, as it will amount to something like $1000. Ho is not discouraged, however, and Is already at work clearing away the rubbish preparatory to putting up a. new house.
