Doted May 14, the Commercial
Club is in receipt o f the following
letter from J. P. O'Brien, Federal
Manager at Portland for the U. 8.
Railroad Administration:
Gentlemen:— Following receipt of
letter dated March 28th and signed by
your president and secretary jointly,
an investigation was conducted as to
construction o f new station facilities
in your town.
Frankly speaking it must be ad­
mitted that the present facilities are
not compatible with the amoui t of
passenger and freight business han­
dled, but, as you are undoubtedly
aware, the Railroad Administration is
in such financial condition that it has
been found necessary to restrict ex­
penditures to the very lowest possible
point In view thereof and o f the fact
that the present facilities have served
so far I would respectfully request
that your community bear with us un­
til the financial situation improves
when we shall be glad to take the
subject up further with a view to ar­
riving at a satisfactory adjustment
I regret immediate acknowledgment
was not mode to your communication,
which overright was caused by its
being placed in our file after investi­
gation was started.

Berry Culture to Be Promoted.
A meeting o f prominent ranchers
fiom each district in tho Bay coun­
try will be hold at the Marshfield
chamber o f commerce Saturday after­
noon at one o’clock, when they will
discuss the proposed raising o f berries
and small fruits, says the Coos Bay
Times.
A committee from the chamber of
commerce, of which Ben S. Fisher is
chairman, has appointed the repre­
sentatives of each district.
The Phez company at Salem and
the Ropert company at Portland have
each promised to send a man here
soon to look over the country, with a
view o f putting a soft drink plant up
here.
Even i f these companies do
this, it is thought there will be enough
capital among the farmers and others
interested to put up a plant of their
own.
About 1,000 acres of land will be
wanted, and the plan is to plant 600
acres this year in berries. Two hun­
dred acres have alroady been pledged.
If the plan works out well oryCoos
Bay, the committee will try to get
Coquille and Bandon interested, with
the idea of having three districts,
namely, the Coquille, Bandon and
Coos Bay districts, and put up a plant
in each one.
Owing to the great demand for
soft drinks, especially loganberry
juice, about $200 an aero can easily
be made from growing berries, and
the industry prolnises to bo a big one
for Coos Bay once it is started. ~

More About Chenoweth
Just returned from Curry county,
Jerry Huntley, pioneer qf that sei
tion and well acquainted with Geo.
Chenoweth, murderer of the alleged
seducer o f his daughter, George Syd-
nam, had a new version o f the story.
Mr. Huntley said Mr. Chenoweth is
still an scute sufferer from shell
shock. Hs is rational except when
spoken to o f the war, when he be­
comes very agitated, mentally unbal­
anced and irresponsible. Mr. Cheno­
weth is still carrying several pieces of
shrapnel in his body. That he should
not be censured for the crime, is the
honest opinion of s great many resi­
dents o f Curry county, said Mr. Hunt-
ley, excepting those in the immediate
vicinity of the home of the victim.
That he will be released, said Mr.
Huntley, is quite certain for everyone
knowing him before and after hiq mil­
itary days, realizes he is not the same
man. Mr. Huntley said tLe daughter
had always borne a good name ana
neither before nor since the wrecking
episode of her life, has been consider­
ed immoral.— Marshfield Record.
Some Juvenile Brides
In tropical countries, where they
mature early, brides are sometimes
picked as young as ten yeas, and
when we were teaching school on
Long Island half a century ago wo
remember to have seen o couple whose
combined ages were only 27, the
groom being 14 and the bride the
rest of the years.
The following
from the Myrtle Point American of
last week rocalls these Juveniles who
should still have been in the nursery:
“ We note that an exchnngo brags
somewhat about the fact tlmt Port­
land has a bride o f 16 and a groom
of 20 and claims that they are the
youngest bride and groom in the
state.
The editor evidently hadn’t
got returns from Myrtle Point when
he penned those lines. Myrtle Point
takes a back seat for no section of
tLe state when it comes to brides, or
grooms, either, for that matter. We
have a bride o f 14 and groom of 18,and
a happier pair never was see.,. Keep­
