Join v:li them In working for t
b ttenucnt f that groat roadway.
The local (Jood Roads association w'll
deal with this biibjfit as I; has al

I IsbitiH 1.4-Kislation ll-rfuscl.
Ilsiatlon alTeitlnj; the fishing In
!,; ie river was tailed for dlscus
hIoii, and a toinmltteo composed of
S. nator Smith, Representative P'an
chard, U'llford Allen. M. J. Andei
son and H. K. CethlnK, president of
tins fishermen's association, was ap
pointed to confer about the matter
and to suggest laws that would meet
local conditions.
That the river tshonld be opened
to commercial fishing under the p-o-per
restrictions Is the opinion of aH,
and laws that will protect the Inter
ests of both the salmon Industry and
the game fish will be worked out and
offered to the legislature.
Through the referendum the river
was dosed to commercial fishing two
years ago, thus destroying an Indus
try that was worth thousands of dol
lars annually to the community. The
result of the enactment of this la.v
has been to line the banks of the riv
er with decaying salmon and to pol
lute the water supply of the city.
Proper legislation will make the sal
mon available to commerce and ye:
protect to the fullest the sport of the
fly fisherman.
Railroad Situation Jool.
President Hobart reported that the
1 railroad situation was In most satis
factory condition. He said that the
surveyors for the Coos Hay line had
worked tip the river to this point,
and had then gone to Gold 1 1 1 1 1 and
inn the lino from there back to this
city. Reports from Mr. Leo were
that he was progressing nicely with
he project, and that the outlook was
especially optimistic. President Ho
bart said that he believed that both
the Cons Hay and tho Crescent City
roads would bo successfully put
through.
BETHANY PRESBYTERIANS.
(Continued from Page 1.)
Ing of llethany church formed an In
teresting exhibit.
From Wednesday's Dally).
Hethany Presbyterian church Is
today, December 11th, 1!H2, cele
brating tin? "."itli nnnUersary of its
organization, and will this evening
rentier a program In commemoration
of the completion of the tuarter of
u century of active and effective ef
fort. A notable feature oT the celebra
tion Is the f:ct that Uev. Itobt. Mr
Lean, the present pastor of the
church, was Its pastor when It first
took Its place In the church life of
the ('(immunity on December 11th,
1SS7, Ho continued as its pastor
until January, IV.l'.i, when he was
called to Portland to assume the
pastorate of tht Third Presbyterian
church, and later he was engaged in
the foreign missionary work, his
Held being III Porto Rico. He Is now
closing the second period of his pas
torate here, his resignation having
been accepted by the church board
that ho can again enter the mission
ary field. Tho board of missions has
been demanding for some time that
Mr. McLean accept tho charge as
superintendent of Spanish Mission
work, covering tho states of Califor
nia, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado
and Texas, and tho local church has
finally allowed Dr. McLean to take
up this broader work for which he
Is so eminently qualified. He will
enter his now work January 1, 191".
In his sermon last Sunday Dr. Mo
Lean touched upon the early history
of tho church, speaking of Its or
ganization as follows:
"Twenty-five- years ago this
church entered upon this work. In
the. court house a llttlo band, strong
In faith, gathered and formed the
organization. They were Mrs. G. V.
Harrle, Mr. W. a. Barrle, Mrs. J. K.
Pigney. Miss Myra Wheeler, Mrs.
Robert Pool and Mrs. Rich. To this
number Justly soulj be added Mr.
and Mrs. 11. C. Kinney, Mr. aud Mrs.
N. P. Podo and Mrs. VauOyke. for
til these labored for tht upbuilding
of the church with a faithfulness
equalled by few and surpassed by
none. They entered as members the
following June.
"This church then took, aud has
slue held the post of honor In ths
fight against organized evil, If bitter
ness of attack. Is any criterion. It
has unflinchingly stood by Its pas
tors In their efforts to create senti
ment tor the enforcement of the law
of moral purity in public life. Nor
has It neglected to work beyond.
From the first it lias been the ban
ner church la tho Presbytery in the!
support of both home and foreign
i missions. Hoth senior and junior.
j Endeavor societies have been per-;
i moated w ith the same spirit. The
choir, under the direction of Mr. and
Mrs. H. C. Kinney, became famous
throughout the state. The Sunday
school rapidly grew under the care
of .'. P. Iiodge, Its i!rM su;ei ii.teii-,
den:, until nt one time it had more:
than 300 enrolled. Miss Mary Coe
organized and most successfully dl-,
reded a splendid Junior C. E. It Is I
still flourishing under her capable j
leadership. Since its organization j
the church has received about "'
members. The outlook for better
things is bright." j
tki.i.s how swkkpstaki s
mki:ki:l was (;kowx.
A single comb Rhode Island Red j
cockerel was pronounced the beat !
male bird In the show here at the
time of the (Irange fair last fall. A
week later the same bird won the
sweepstakes premium at the Ash
land show In the liveliest kind of
competition, and now he has been
sent to the shows at Portland and
other northern centers where he will
contest for honors with the blue
bloods of the northwest.
Tho story of this bird Is remark
able In that it proves that years of
previous experience are not neces
sary to produce perfect poultry In
the salubrious climate of the Rogue,1
valley, but that the key to success,
lies In getting eggs or stock from j
virile strains and then using just
good chicken sense In assisting na
ture to do the rest.
Geo. II. Parker tells the tale of
this cockerel in the following words:
"In the early part of February of
this year, one of my boys purchased
two settings of single comb Rhode
Island Red eggs from a local breed
er. From those eggs we raised 22
thicks, 12 cockerels and 10 pullets.
1 sold eight of the cockerels when
they were three months old for 20
cents per pound, live weight, making
the average price J2 1-2 cents. The
twelve cockerels were apparently as
nearly alike as that many peas and
I made no selection when 1 sold the
eight, intending to kill the rest
about Thanksgiving time.
"When the Grange fair was held
hero this fall, at the request of Dr.
Wilcoxon I entered my best cockerel
and two pullets as it trio. I received
tho blue ribbon and the judges pro
nounced the cockerel the best bird
in the show. I then sent them to
Ashland to the district fair and won
first on the trio and sweepstakes on
the cockerel. I havo now sent the
cockerel to the shows at Albany,
Portland and Kugenc. I don't know,
of course, how he will run In fast
company nnd thought perhaps I had
bettor write this article before I did.
He has already won me $ . o in
prizes, however. Of course, that
isn't much money, but suppose I .iud
nept the whole 12 cockerels! I bad
never looked at the standard books
and didn't know that I had anything
extra in the bird line. I never would
havo known if I hadn't entered him
at tho show, anil I would advise any
one who has anything in the poultry
line they think good, to exhibit at
the coming show In January. My
pullets have done very well all the
fall, laying at the present time about
IiO per cent."
