Relative to the baseball agree­ ment; Myrtle Point has taken the same stand that Coquille did and answers the North Bend and Marsh­ field letter in the same strain. But Coquille and Myrtle Point ignore the proposal which was put to them and each substitutes the word “tote” for drawing straws or casting lots This was not the intention which Marshfield and North Bend had in view when the meeting over there was held, yet it was not obligatory on any of the river teams to follow the suggestion and no blame attaches for a refusal. Inasmuch as Man ager Bedillion. of Bandon, had sporting spirit to go through with the sug­ gestion furnished from the bay and the others would not agree to the arrangement, it appears over here that Bandon will not be dropped and the season will open with in­ dependent teams. Possibly a five team league may be organized, al­ though North Bend will object. Marshfield conceded that four teams should compose the league last week when the representatives from Marshfield and North Bend met. although she preferred to organize with five teams rather than throw out any 'wer demanded for a great historian is different from the demand for a great poet, but it is no lean marked. Such imagi native power Is in no sense in­ compatible with minute accura­ cy. On the contrary, very ac­ curate, very real and vivid pres­ entation of the past can come only from one in whom the Imag tnative gift is strong. The in­ dustrious collector of dead facts bears to such a man precisely the relation that a photographer bears to Rembrandt.

Represent­ atives of the churches, the German press, the German farmers' colonies, etc. are asked to attend and it is expected the hearing will develop a practical method of including desir­ able farmers Irom North Europe to settle in this state. Jackson County is one district of the state well organized for industrial school fairs this Fall. Interest is high in the movement and the va­ rious .communities will offer at­ tractive prizes for the best work of the school children. In addition to the County Fair, various schoo 1 fairs will be held. Farmers who are interested in growing corn are invited to try seed furnished free by the O. W. R. & N. Co. Twelve-pound lots will be given out, being about enough to plant one acre, to all farmers apply­ ing lor it. This is acclimated seed and C. L. Smith, agriculturist for that line, maintains that Oregon can be made one of the foremost corn states. The place of meeting of the Ore­ gon State Banker’s Association has been changed from Roseburg to Corvallis. The dates are June 15 and 16. Roseburg’s new hotel will not be finished in time, making the change advisable. The State Forestry Department has issued paper drinking cups for distribution among school children, there being printed upon each cup a statement of the importance of preserving the state’s timber and avoiding a heavy loss each Summer. It is thought in this way the voting will be enlisted in the work of for­ est preservation. is one of the best ever put on by Haberly was a prominent business a home talent bunch and Harry man and also leader of the commer­ Ennis is sure there with the goods cial Band and conducted a private when it comes to doing the training orchestra in Salisbury.

Davidson, to whom she was married in 1870. Her maiden name was Minerva A. Ferris, one of the eldest of a family ot twelve.

Her father, Thomas Ferris, settled near Monmouth, Yamhill county, and later moved to Kubila, Josephine county, where he passed to his re­ ward some years ago. Mrs. David- son suffered for many years from a complication of ailments, for which no permanent relief could be ob tained.

She came b ick to her old home, to await with patience and resignation among her loved ones the final summons. She was aged about sixty-three years at the time oj death, There will be a public library and settled at Bandon with her meeting at Commercial Club Hall family in 1886. — Joseph Windle.
