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.” Letter From South Below we give a portion of a letter written by a civil engineer employed by the Pan American Tin Co., which may he ot interest to some of our readers, there being a number ill this section who are in terested in mining in South America. The letter is dated from La Paz, Bolivia, and reads as follows: We are geting along slowly with our work, but think we will l>e do ing business in a short time. We have twenty-eight men and women working for us; the men mining and the women sorting ore. Are gettiug our mill in shape now and will be turning out concentrates in a few weeks.

The visitors worked hard and showed a great deal of courage but having never practiced together stood very little show. In the first of the second half Clarence Clinton, Norway's quarter, was put out while tackling Perrot. This greatly weakened the team, as he was the only man they had who understood giving their signals.

Next Monday this district will decide whether or not the tenth grade will be taught here. anything more than a bruise 01 two. “ 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.” — Chicago Inter Ocean.
