Holden before whom he waived examina tion and.will be given board and lodging at the county jail until the September term of court when his case will be finally disposed of. Huff raised a check given by C. C. Carter on a bank at Myrtle Point from $6 to $60 and Mr. Ploeger was mulcted out of money and goods in its acceptance. The accused is a man apparently twenty-five years of age, aud is said to be industrious.

He is of the wandering class and his meander ings are now iu a fair way to be checked by a residence in Salem. The value of demonstration farm work as a means of establishing scientific farming in the various counties of Oregon was emphasized by Dr. James WithycomOe, director of experimental stations at the Ore gon Agricultural College, in an ad dress before the farmers’ round up at Moro reoen tly. He stated that it is his opinion that the maintenance of a demonstration farm in each couuty under competent supervision would in five years increase the an nual agricultural production of the state $10,000,000, without adding one square rod to the farm acerage- “These demonstration farms not only would be valuable means of showing the possibilities of agricul tural production in the different counties, but would also be centers for co-operative demonstration work among the farmers,” said Dr. With- ycoinbe. “ The superintendent of each farm could visit the farmers of his county as an agricultural ad viser, his technical knowledge of the adaptability of different crops The cow pea is a plant that cam to varying soils and climatic con be grown upon almost any farm. ditions enabling him to assist the The crop is a most valuable one to farmer in the production of the any farmer, and especially to the maximum crops.

Last Satur day with the Forty boys they went down to the fishing grounds, a few miles below Port. Orford, and in three hours captured five halibut the largest being six feet loDg weighing 110 pounds, two others being nearly as large, the smallest one caught weighing 47 pounds. They also caught some red fish and two other kinds. This shows what can be done along this coast when our fishing industry is developed. We never saw such large halibut before at any other point off this coast. R. D.

E. Coffers, believes to be ons of tba oldest and best preserved books in this country has recently come to light in Monterey. It is a history of the world, dated 1619 , and writen by the Swiss historian Johann Ludor Gottfried. It has 1,200 pages and 350 cop per plate illustrations by Matthieu Merian, recognized as the greatest engraver of his time. All the en gravings are in excellent condition. According to family tradition, as narrated to the owner by Count von Kiesling in 1869 , the book was part of the Austrian Imperial library un til the sacking of Vienna by the Turks. ________ Fly Killing Contest Seventy-two pounds of flies have been taken to the health office dur ing the past three weeks as a result of a fly killing campaign with prizes offered by the Portia Club and the Business Men’s Associatson of North Yakima. Flies in paper buck ets and in gunnysacks are being de livered, weighed and counted. There are something over 10,000 to a quart. The catch has run up into the millions and the contest has still a week to go. One of the boys in the lead has a big trap in one of the slaughter houses. Chicken Has 4 Legs and 3 Wings A Plymouth Rock chicken with four legs and three wings, all per fectly developed, which lived two days, was hatched on a ranch near Ridgefield, Washington, owned by Dr. John H. Montgomery of Port land. The body of the freak fowl is now in possession of Dr. Mont gomery, who will have it mounted by a taxidermist. In life the chick used two of its legs for walking. The remaining two legs were attached to the body on the upper part of the abdomen. The extra wing extended from the back just above the tail. The chick en was full of life and vigor for 36 hours after it was batched, then it became sick and died. The chicken's unusual supply of legs and wings was the result of fertilization of a two yolked egg, according to poultrymen.

MEETS MANY OLD FRIENDS Delivers Oration in Marshfield— Visits With Men Known Long Ago— Speaki in Masonic Hall, CoqudJe Dr. Harry Lane of Portland, dem ocratic candidate for United States senator; Hugh McLain, democratic candidate for state senator; T. J. Thrift, democratic candidate for county assessor; W. L. Mast of Ban- don and J. J. Lamb, our townsman, constituted a bunch of gentlemen advocating Jeffersonian principles, visited the Herald Friday last. Harry Lane delivered the Fourth of July oration at Marshfield, a talk replete with patriotism emanating from the heart of one thoroughly endowed w'th love of our country and reverence to our flag. Mr. Lane was a resident of Coos county in 1873, and for several years thereafter, this being the initial point chosen after first leav ing the parental roof. He knows many old-timers here and is partic ularly well informed regarding the conduct of Mr. Lamb during the many years gone by which he pro nounces pure and spotless. Of the other members composing the party our distinguished visitor did not speak but he doubtless holds them iu high estimation as do all others who are fortunate enough to know them. Mr. Lane while here availed him self of the opportunity to visit the towns of Coos and Curry counties in the interest of his candidacy and renew old acquaintances which re called many pleasant recollections of long ago. An address was delivered by Mr. Lane upon the political issues of the day at Masonic Hall Tuesday evening last before a large audience. He said it he was elected United States Senator he would ever be found laboring for the interest of the common people; that he would not be a subservient tool for the monopolistic class— in fact his oppo nent is an avowed representative of that aggregation— and he appealed to the laborer and tiller of the soil, the builders aud protectors of our natiou for success at the polls. Mr. Lane touched upon the fact that articles manufactured in this coun try conld be purchased in England much cheaper than here. There is a remedy for this and it should t>e applied. His talk was a good one, free from bombastic utterances, and it was clearly manifested be made a good impression upon his bearers that will at least be productive of thoughtful consideration. At the conclusion of the meeting R. H. Mast took Mr. Lane in his automobile to Myrtle Point where he left Wednesday morning by stage on the way to his Portland home. ------------------ * • - ------------------ Unto Him a Child is Barn The smile-that-won’t-come-off has affixed itself to the countenance of Paul Stephan of the City Bakery, due to the arrival Monday evening of a young lady not yet able to lisp the name of “ Papa,” but whose tiny fist already closes tightly around the sturdy finger of the doughnut tnolder producing happy thrills of- present possession and future pater nal joys.
