WITH EXCI TEMENT Coquille, Oregon, in a fever ol Excitement Over the Wonderful Cures Performed by Dr. Madison THE GREAT AMERICAN S P E C IA L IS T DEAF HADE TO BE THE LAME TO WALK Opera House Packed Nothing LiHe it Ever Seen in Coquille Before. Dr. Madison and staff, of the Medical Institute of Liverpool England, and Crawfordsville lnd. branch office at Portland, Oregon lectured to u In ig e uuJienoo M o n day night. The doctors are agree able and forceful speakers and held the audience in close attention while they explained the theory and usefulness of their wonderful dis coveries. EniTOR H erald — The eubjectof Geography in our public schools is of far greater importance than most persons suppose. And it is one of the most neglected of all the com mon branches, Many teachers who are able instructors in other branch es are very indifferent and weak in their teaching of geography. And the majority of our School Boards in purchasing school supplies, give geography little attention and fre quently none whatever. Each country school, and each room of every town school, up to the seventh grade should be supplied with a complete set of best wall maps, set ting forth fully the political divis ions, the mathematical outlines, and the chief physical feitures of] geog raphy, In addition to the maps, each should have a good Lunar- Tellurian globe, And nothing else should be used below the seventh grade but the maps and globe. After the pupil has learned the various political divisions and sub divisions, their chief physioal fea- turis, and a general mathematical outline of geography, all of which he obtains more quickly from map drill than from any other source, then be is ready to take up the des criptive geography given in the text books, and not till then. Then when he reads of Europe, Asia, or any other country, or sub- divisions of it, he reads underatand- ingly and intelligently. He has the whole thing clearly and correctly in his mind's eye. And until the pupil baa mastered this first correct outline of geographical knowledge, it is worse than useless, and a crim inal waste of tne child’s time to put it at descriptive geography. It would be just as sensible to take the ordinary ten or twelve year o il child and put it in I*tin, Greek or Hebrew. One of the greatest difficulties in teaching history is, that the pupil had obtained no definite or correct knowledge of geography before he took up history, You carnot read even the daily news papers understanding^ with out a good knowledge of geogra phy. It was amusing during the P h il ippine war to hear men of good education along other lines asking —■•Well where are these Philippine islands, and what are they good for, any way? Now had they had the proper map drill when they were school chil ren, they would not have found it necessary to ask where the Phil ippine islands were. We will take up arithmetic in our next article. Many promises were made which seemed utterly impoBtible to believe and when the doctor invited those who were hard of hearing to come forward and be cured, Jesse Has kin, P. A. Alford, and Mrs. S. M Leach, responded to the call and » • were made to hear a whisper in W orkm an’s Hand is Torn OI1. few seconds. Fred Murtin, nn employe of the The doctor then called for crip ples on crutches and M.

Recently the big fly wheel at the mill was broken. The machinery is being repaired as fast as possible, and it iB understood that the old mill, located at Bay City, will be in creased so that it will have a capac ity of 100,000 feet a day, and an ad ditional mill be erected to saw 400,000 feet more. It is not knowD whether or not the new mill will be on the Marshfield side of the bay or on the east side. The company owns sufficient frontage on either side to admit of such a plant. A large machine shop is to be built at ODce, and there is the wav to Marshfield two engines with a combined capacity of 1,200 horse power. If the reports regarding the lm provemenis contempleted be true, the C. A. Smith mill will be the largest concern on Coos Bay, and will increase the population of Marshfield in one jump more than any other one thing ever has in the past—Coos Bay Times. -- -- .. . «»» . Elijah Smith wins the Victory Salem, Ore., Eeb.23.—The bill which was designed to place on sale to the general public certain timber lands, including those be longing to the Southern Oregon company, has been defeated in the senate. The bill if it had become a law, would heve provided for the sale of the land at $5.50 an acre, not allowing one person to buy more than 160 acres. The land is worth millious, and especially is that surrounding Empire of much value. Elijah Smith has been here during the session of the legislature to fight the bill.
