« Coquille Herald. WEDNESDAY, MAR. 10, 1909. The People are Coming. Portlind, Oregon, March 8th, 1909.—They are coining. People fro'n every part of the United States and Canada are pouring into Ore gon at the present time at a rate never before equalled, and there is evidence that the travel during the entire colonist period will be enormous. Many communities are busy sending out leaflets giving the low rate from twenty or twenty- five points, others have the infor mation printed at the top of their stationery and on their envelopes. Every reader of this paper should see that such a leaflet goes in each letter he sends to people at a dis tance. School boys and girls all over Oregen are doing their part. Remember this rate is good until the last day of April. A most interesting acknowledg ment of the apples sent by the Portland Commercial Club to King Edward comes in a letter from Buck ingham Palace, written by General D. M. Brobyn, Keeper of the Privy Purse to His Majesty, King E d ward, to one of Oregon’s best known and most respected citizens, R. E. Brerton. A little extract from Gen eral Brobyn’s letter is interesting: "The five boxes of apples which were sent to His Majesty arrived quite safely and were thought very highly of by King and others who tasted them. I write to convey His Majesty’s thanks for the fruit. Should we all live for another Christmas, and if you will kindly send directly to me at Sandringham a small supply of these apples, writing me a few lines of warning of their dispatch, I promise to bring them to tb6 notice of the King and His Majesty’s guests assembled at Sandringham at that season of the year, and will give you a full re port of them.” Ontario is determined that the great Malheur project shall be realized. The people of Vale are co-operating with them— in fact all the citizenship of Malheur County is a unit, and there was never bet ter evidence of their progressive spirit than the fact that they raised one evening last week the sum of $2500.00 in twenty-five minutes or nt the rate of $100.00 a minute — with which to advertise their re- sources. When one considers that Ontario has only 1500 population, this is one of the records. Comparatively few people of the “ Beaver State” realize that Forest Grove is nationally known as the source of America’s most perfect archery bows, Pacific Yew, which grows to perfection in Oregon, is the mateiial used, and Captain F. S. Barns fashions it with skilled hand into bows sought by experts all over this continent and even abroad. Though almost seventy years of age, the Captain is him self a splendid archer, and such an enthusiast in bis chosen craft that he makes personal trips to the mountains each year to Belect Yew of just the proper grade and grain — the altitude at which the tree grows is an important factor. Oc casionally a bow of rare accuracy and highest speed is created, and these are dignified with names. “ Cyclone” and “ Whirlwind” are famous among archers. J. M . Olberman Pardooed. One of the last official acts of George E. Chamberlain as gov ernor was to pardon J. M. Older- man, serving a life sentence in the penitentiary for the murder o f Jas per M. Casteel, on Lees Creek, nine miles east of Myrtle Creek, about 11 years ago. The influences which secured his pardon are not learned. Olderroan is about 50 years of age. His crime was one of the most cold blooded and cowardly ever commit ted in Douglas County or anywhere else. Casteel and Olderman were part ners in the operation of a mine on Lees Creek and lived together. There was a third member of the housebould, Casteel’s daughter, Mrs. Stewart, who was living apart from her husband, though not di vorced. The two men got into a quarrel, which it was rumored, was caused by Olderman’s attentions to Mrs. Stewart, and this was followed by Olderman filing a suit for money against Casteel in the Justioe court at Myrtle Creek. A few days later the murder occurred at the Lees Creek home. As Casteel lay asleep on a sofa, Olderman slipped from bis room, revolver in hand, and cooly shot Casteel through the head, killing him instantly. The murder er then walked to Myrtle Creek and surrendered himself. At his trial Olderman said he killed Casteel because Casteel had threatened to kill him. He was un able to substantiate this statement to the satisfaction of the jury and he was found guilty of murder in the first degree. Judge J. C. Full erton, then occupying the circuit bench, sentenced Olderman to be hanged,and the murderer’s attorney, C. A. Sehlbrede, now a resident of Marshfield, appealed to the supreme court for a new trial. The appeal was turned down, but on the day before the one on which the hang ing was to take place, Governor T. T. Geer commuted Olderman’s sen tence to life imprisonment. The popular belief that Mrs. Stewart was indirectly the cause of the murder of her father was not supported by any evidence at the trial, but the consideration which she showed for Olderman after the deed was committed was regarded as significant. She visited her father’s slayer on two different oc casions while he was in jail, and each time asked him if there was arything she could do for him. She had some of Olderman’s money in her possession and he told her in the presence of Sheriff R. L. Steph ens that she could keep this. On the day of Casteel’s funeral at Myrtle Creek, Mrs. Stewart invited Olderman to accompany her to the cemetery, but the man was then in thecuBtody of Sheriff Stephens and could not go. -- ------- Riverton Pick-Ups.

During a visit to an aunt in Coquille last summe: the young people whose lives were un- oited on Sunday, met for the first time and the acquaintance then formed found its culmination on Sunday. Mr. Goodman is a book keeper in a Coquille business house and the young people departed for their home immediately after the ceremony. The bride had planned to have the announcement of her wedding take her friends by surprise. For that reason none but relatives of the Felt family were present, but when the young couple arrived at the statiou to take the train for the north, the members of the Alpha Zeta Club, of which Miss Weedman is a member, were gathered in good numbers to give her and here bride groom a loving farewell. Their was neither bridesmaid nor best man, no display, and the only concession to conventionality was the wedding march from "A Mid summer Night's Dream,” on the piano by Eden Killmer. Miss Kate Felt, cousin of the bride, came up from the University of California to attend the wedding. young couple have decided to remain a short time with an uncle of the groom’s, B. C.
