Coquille tyerald. W EDNESDAY, I __ M A R 11, 1908. -■ The District Fair We give below in pert what the Bay Times of the 17th had to sav concerning our coining fair: The soliciting committee for the '■'icond Southern Oregon District Fair is in the field today, securing subscriptions toward holding the fair in Marshfield August 2G to Au­ gust 29 inclusive. It is necessary to remodel and en­ large the pavillion, to prepare pens anil stalls for stock; poultry build­ ing rebuild a grand stand for the seating of the public, etc. The grounds will also be enlarged and left in suitable condition to be used as a park or picnic grounds in the future. While no permanent lease can be secured from the railroad company, assurance is given that it will be open for the public for an indefinite time yet. The board expects to hire a band for the entire four days, and it is the purpose to offer at least GO p c more in purses than was given at lloseburg last year. The purpose in giving larger purses is to bring in all the best horses within range of the Coos county circuit. The board is anxious to get the subscription list closed as soon as possible, for there is already wide spread interest in the proposed fair, and it requires time and expenses to get together the exhibits. While a fair of the magnitude planned will cost something on the start, it means the greatest fair ever held west of the coast range mountains, and made a success this year it will be made a permanent thing. The preamble of the subscription list, and subscribers up to the time of going to press follows: We the undersigned, hereby pledge the amount hereunto sub­ scribed and placed opposite our re­ spective names for the creation of a fair fund to be used to defray the necessary expenses in connection with the Second Southern District Fair to be held at Marshfield, Ore., for the year 1908, payments to bo made, one half by May 1, and the remainder by July 1, 1908. C oog T o Our S u b scrib ers Owing to a late ruling of the U. S. Postal Department which goes into effect the first of next month, it will be necessary for us to drop from our subscripaion list the names of all subscribers who are more than one year in nrrears for the H erald . It seems at first a little strange for the government to take this position, a s it would appear that it is a simple case of interfearing with our private business, but when we study into the matter, the object is plainly to bo understood. The in­ tention of the government is to give the publisher of overy bony fide newspaper every advantage of cheap rates possible, and in doing so the publishers of advertising schemes have learned to take ad. vantage of these rates, and the idea of the department is to cut them out, and only allow genuine news papers with paid-up subscription lists to have access to what is known as the second-class mailing rate. Therefore, under the circumstan­ ces, we are sending out statements to all who are more than a year in ar­ rears, and in rase we receive no re­ mittance by April 1st, we will be ob­ liged to drop such names from our mailing list. We have been sending the H zrald to a great many for a number of A pportionm ent o f S ch o o l F und A nother P ion eer P a sse s O ver Another of Coos county’s sturdy pioneers has passed over to the great beyond. This time it is Hi­ ram Bettys who answers the call. On Wednesday, March 18, 1908, after a brief illness of lagrippe or something of that order, Mr. Bettys passed away. The deceased was born in Rochester, New York, Sept­ ember 13, 1834, and was therefore 72 years, 7 months and 5 days of age at the time of bis death. His first move was to Canada, where he spent several years, and in 1866 moved to Kansas where he resided till in 1874, be with his family loca­ ted on the old homestead near Fair- view, where he remained till his death. Mr. Bettys is survived by a wife, two sons, Albert and William, of Fairview, and Mrs- R. J. Coke and Mrs. J. H. Clinkenbeard, of North Bend. Being a highly re­ spected citizen, and obliging neigh­ bor he is mourned by a targe circle of friends beside the members of his fumily. ¡On Thursday he was laid to rest in the Fairview cemetery, his former neighbor, Rev. S. B Hollenbeak, preaching the funeral sermon.
