The finding of the body of Eddie
Hayden, the ntne-year-old son of
Mr. and Mrs. Chrs. Hayden of
North Bend, under the wharf near
the old mill, in old North Bend
this morning by Carl Hayes, was
the sad sequil of a two day, saerch.
Eddie Hayden mysterously dis
appeared last Thesday afternoon.
He was engaged in hauling kindl
ing from the mill to his home. He
had made one or two trips, the last
one about four o’clock when he was
seen by Robert McCann foreman
who with the lad’s mother was the
last person to see hem alive. When
he did not return, search was made
for him, the sled with its little load
of wood was found but no trace of
the missing boy. At first, it was

been seen there. This morning the
search was renewed with redoubled
vigor and a large number of search

covery of the body in the bay ended

Center of Population.
State Fair Exhibit
The center of the population of
the united States, as enumertted in
tbe census of 1910, is four and one-
half miles Booth of Unionville,
Monroe county, Indiana. In the
last decade it moved westward thir
ty-one miles from a point six miles
southeast of Columbus, Ind,
The announcement was made by
the census bursau on the bases of
the official computation of tbe cen
ter of the population made by
Charles S. Sloane, the geographer
of tbe bureau.
The figures of the geographer
show not only that tbe march of
population is still westward, but
that there has been acceleration of
that movemnt over tbe record of the
decade between I860 and 1900.
The center of population during the
the decade moved westward only
fourteen railea. The cause of the
acceleration of the westward trend

increase of population in the Pacifie
and southwestern states,
The following excerpt
from
a letter received by F. B. Tichenor,
from Frank Meredith Secretary of
tbe Oregon State Board of Agricul
ture is self explanatory:
I am in receipt of an article, an
nouncing the intmion ol Coos Coun
ty to make an exhibit at the forth
coming Fair, for which please ac
cept my thanks. We highly ap
preciate the good work you have
done for yourself iu behalf of an ex
hibit. I note in tbe article in ques
tion a request for anyone having a
product of the county worthy of ex
hibiting to leave same with the
Chamber of Commerce. In this
way they may be able to get togeth
er a lairly good exhibit, but “ What
is everybody’s business is no body’s
business.” For that reason I think
that it would be money well invest
ed if the anthorites would hire some
competent person to go out among
the farmers and procure the very
best exhibits possible. I refer more
particularly to grains aud grasses.
* know, form what I have heard
that CoosCunty can make the other
counties sit up and take notice if
she will only collect some ot the
best of her products.”
