The Gold Beach Globe is in re-
oei .it of letter* asking about prop,
e u y purchased by the writers in
P.mifio City, the town now being
b >nied, and advertised in the
8| oknne Press, of which the Globe
says:
“The ad. is n picture of what the
city will be in 1912 . A city in size
and business point of view, would
pul Portlaud to shame, and make
su .ih a place as Coos Bay look like
a nere speck on the universe. A
railroad center, great ships sailing
in the lake through a great canal,
and street car service equal to that
of San Francisco is some of the at-
tractions Bhown in the pioture.
The ad. represents the new city to
lie located near the California line,
and claims for its resources twelve
billion feet of limber, unlimited
coal fields and fisheries. The letter
accompanying the cut, was ad
dressed to Postmaster Kiley, and
asks “ if the name of Gold Beach is
to be chnnged to that of Pacific
C ity,” and say» “ that such was re
presented to him."
Why people
should be allowed to plat a little
towusite in the woods, as these pro
moters have, and go out of the state
and grossly misrepresent conditions
as these people have, without spend
ing one dollar toward developing
any of the county’s resources, and
why Curry should be the victim of
such boodlers, is a mystery to us.
Pacific City consists of about four
hundred acres of virgin soi'. on the
edge of Floras lake, platted as a
to'Tnsite. It is located about 90
miles North from the California
state line, and is inhabited only by
ducks, birds and
chipmunks.
There is a mortgage standiug
against the property platted, yet
they are giving warranty deeds to
it.”
It occurs to us that the prose
cutors of that section are not very
active nr someone would be getting
into trouble.
One mau on whose
ranch a portion of this supposed
city is located inform^
that, while
the parties have only* a bond for
the property, they have deeded lots
oil the same to four different persons,
giving warranty deeds to them.
Boom town sites have been used
to
graft the public until
it
seems that the people would soon
learn to cut them, but seeminglv
some unsuspecting persons are to he
found who can be induced to “ bite
at a bare hook.”

“ The trouble is that the average
man doesn’t know anything about
falling easily. Now, one of the first
things that a gymnast or one who
performs anywhere above the ground
must learn is just how to avoid seri
ous injury in falls.
“ Nearly every gymnast tumbles
sooner or later; but, if you will
think it over, the number of profes
sional and amateur performers hurl
in a year is comparatively small.
The reason for that is that they
have learned not only how to avoid
falling, but how to protect them
selves when the fall does come.
“ Just as an example, I had a fall
from a height of about twenty feet
the other day, and I got right up
from the floor practically unhurt
although I confess that it shook
me up a good deal more than 1
liked. In falling, however, I re
laxed my muscles and, as the ath
letes say, ‘folded’ my head into my
chest. I struck on the uppermost
part of my back, just below tlu
neck. When anybody is falling, that
is the part of the body on which tc
fall.
“ I am not a particularly heavy
man, but I am fairly well protected
by my muscles. Those on the back
of my neck were a sufficient cushion
With that to help me the fall wai-
not so terrifying.
“ Now, the reason why the ordi
nary man is so easily hurt in a fall
is that he thinks he must ‘steel’ him
self to the ordeal, as it were. IIt
comes down, sprawling out, with hie
arms and legs rigid. Nine times
out of ten he either breaks a limb
or severely sprains a muscle. That
is the wrong way to fall.
“ If you want to see the right way
take a few lessons from your cat.
If she is a good, 'healthy cat, with
a good training, she never jumps 01
falls as if she was trying to break
a leg.
“ Let me sum all of this up by say
ing that, to be a really good athlete,
one must know how to relax hi*
muscles as well as distend them.
Try a fall and see if I ’m not right.”
