PANAMA-PACIFIC FAIR
OPENS TO THE PUBLIC
San Francisco Show Commemorating the Opening of
the Great Canal Starts Business. Oregon Ex
hibits and Oregon Building Are Worthy.
Snn Francisco, Feb. 21. Four hun
dred and fifty thousand people passed
though the gates of the Panama Pa
cific exposition grounds yesterday,
the opening day of the big fair, be
ginning at dawn and lasting far in
to the night.
At just at six, a. m (3:00 a. in.,
eastern time) President Wilson press
ed' the button in Washington which
sent the wireless Hash across the cont
inent, cast and west, opening the
Palace of Machinery. Thousands of
bells, whistles, and other noise mak
ing contraptions, announced the glad
tidings to the throng which awaited
the message. For close on to an hour
such a noise as was novo r before
heard in the Jewel City continued to
hold sway and as the mechanical
sounds died away the murmur of the
fast gathering throngs took its place.
The 21 gun salute of the Pacific fleet
started the noise and it only died a
way when the last of the merry mak
ers dropped from sheer exhaustion.
Sharply at nine o'clock, the big pa
rade, 250,000 strong, started on its
route along Van Ness avenue and
Market street to the grounds. Mayor
James Ilolph, Jn in the lead. Dozens
of bands, fife nnd drum corps and
innumerable. other musical organi
zations were in the long line and ev
ery nationality in the world waa rep
resented. It is doubtful if anywhere
in the world there has been a pageant
bo impressive.
At eight o'clock, the gates of the
exposition were opened to the public
and upon the arrival of the parade at
the grounds the dedication ceremonies
commenced. Secrotary Lane deliver
ed the president's message and Gov
ernor Johnson replied thereto. Others
among the distinguished speakers
were Charles C. Moore, president of
tho exposition, Mayor Rolph and the
representatives of tho different na
tions and states. .
It was close on to noon before the
exercises were over and tho ground.,
turned over to the thousands of sight
seeers who will make merry in San
Francisco for the next nine months.
The Zone, the $10,000,000 amuse
ment street stretching out for nearlj
a mile and reputed to be the most
complete feature of its kind presented
at any exposition, proved the big at
traction and promises to be a big suc
cess. It is interesting to Oregonians and
a source of pride to us that our build
ing, tho massivo Oregon structure, is
one of the leading attractions of the
San Francisco exposition and that our
exhibits are second to none, not even
California.
The Oregon Ituilding
In the spacious interior verandas
and the grounds surrounding the huge
log cabin, the base logs of which are
seven feet in diameter, people from
thu state will make their home. There
they may entertain their guests and
point out the bounteous and varied
resources and advantages which Ore
gon has to offer.
A log cabin in material, yet a pal-
iu-e of Roman times in architecture,
the Oregon building looms up more
substantially than any other of the
titato buildings. Tho walls and eolo
imdu pillars reaching from the ground
10 feet high, are thu mounter straight
trunks of Oregon fir tieoH, logged,

Oregon's Exhibit
Each of these districts has been as
signed one of the four spacious booths
on' tho main floor or the building in
which to make their exhibits. These
booths are constructed on the pergola
plan, the pillars being fir logs the
same as the columns around the build
ing. Built entirely of rough lumber,
the booths lend themselves easily to
irtistic and novel schemes of decor
ative forms with the different agri
cultural products.
The exhibit of Coos and Curry
counties will feature dairying in the
main, but our coal, lumber, fruit, fish
ing and mining industries will also be
exploited. Perhaps one of the most
.mique exhibits in the whole exposi
tion is ii fire place fashioned of Coos
county coal. Exhibit Manager Ward
has arranged a display of agates from
this section that is worth -traveling
far to see. .
Oregon has gone the other states
one better and will have guides, chos
en by examination from among the
students of the Oregon Agricultural
college and especially trained for the
work who will be in attendance at all
times, ready to guide visitors through
the building explaining or instructing
them.
Extraordinary Features
Cashiers in all parts of the fair
grounds where money is handled are
to be women who will operate under
one head and from one central office.
Approximately 700 women will be
employed in this work.
A police force of 800 men, mostly
ex-soldiors will bo maintained by the
exposition authorities and will be un
der strict military rule.
Tho exhibit palaces and other build
ings number 251 in all and there are
80,000 exhibitors represented.
In tho matter of architecture, land
scape gardening and tho scheme of
arrangements the Panama-Pacific ex
position far outshines any previous
attempt.
N EXT GAME TO HE THE II EST
Contest between Handou and Coquille
Expected to decide Championship
Aspirations of Hot h Teams
Coquille high school and its quin
tette of basket ball shooters are going
to invade Bandon at this week-end,
either Friday or Saturday night and
there promises to result a game that
will outshine anycontest yet staged
this .season in the matter of -aggressiveness.
Boosters for the up-river
teams are planning an excursion and
expect to bring 150 rooters with them.
There is more than one reason why
tin's should be the game of the reason
not the least of which is the fact that
Quigley's hoys have not forgotten the
drubbing administered to them when
they went to Coquille. If Handou
wins it will eliminate Copuille from
the championship running, but not so
if tho locals loso for they have one
game to spare. While Coquille is ex
pecting victory, the locals can not see
it that way and appearances sustain
their aUiiid.
This will bo tho last game of tho
Heiuou on tho home floor and thu high
tichool U looking for the laigent crowd
that aver turned out to' a game in
Handou.

SHERIFF STOPS WRESTLERS
Curry Conty Official Takes a Part in
the Proceeding when he sees the
Crowd About to Take Sides
They had an athletic exhibition and
wrestling match at Gold Beach recent
ly that was a hummer. Interest in
the wrestling match betweecn Fred
Fish and "Hoy' Turner became so nc
cute that the spectators took sides
and nothing prevented n free-for-all
but the action of the sheriff who took
the discussion in hand and threatened
to jail all the parties concerned if they
did not restrain their enthusiasm. As
an aftershot the sheriff announces the
law will be rigidly adhered to in all
future athletic exhibitions in Curry
county.
In the first round of the wrestling
match, Fish came close to strangling
Turner but the latter managed
to keep from being thrown and finally
to free himself. It was in the second
round that the sheriff interfered and
the contest was declared a draw.
FALLS 80 FEET
AND STILL LIVES
Homesteader Attempts to
Handle Unruly Goat on
Rocks & Takes Bad Fall
An accident befell Frank Jeffers a
few days ago which nearly took his
lifo at the time and may yet before he
recovers from his frighful experience
Mr. Jeffers has a homestead on what
is known as Whales Heads, about
twenty eight miles south of here. Onl
the day of his accident Mr. Jeffers and
his only son, a lad of twelve or four
teen years of age, were trying to cor
ral some goats. The goats were
ranging on a high steep bluff rising
up from the ocean beach, one of
which refused to leave the bluff with
ordinary persasion, so Mr. Jeffers ven
tured out to where it was and under
took to lead or carry it from the
bluff, when it proved too much for
Mr. Jeffers who lost his 1 ooting and
went headlong over tho precipice, fal
ling on a ledge of rocks almost in the
ocean. The tide happened to be low
at the time or the limp body of Mr.
Jeffers would have landed in the wa
ter instead of where it did. As it
was the spray from the cold ocean
water acted as a restoretivc agent
and revived the unfortunate .man.
Ills little boy who saw his father go
over the precipice, was forced to go
a long way around in order to reach
the place where his fathers mangled
body lay concuming fully thirty min
utes time. When he reached his
fathers side he found him lying in the
edge of the water, (the tide having
raised) conscious but unable to move.
He dragged his father up higher on
the ledge and went for help. As it
happened that day County Commis
sioner Colegrove and Charley Smith
were but a short distance from where
the accident happened, panning on
the beach were soon found by the boy
and piloted back to whero the wounded
man lay. The man was found to have
sustained a broken arm, his nose was
severed from his face. Several ugly
gashes wero cut in- his head. One jaw
bone was laid open from the ear to
the point of the chin and bruises and
cuts of smaller importance were found
all over his body. Messrs Cosgrovo
and Smith carried him to his cabin
and reached there about ten o'clock
that night, and made him as comfort
able as possible. Tho next day they
took thu wounded mail to thu hospi
tal at Brookings and placed him under
the caro of Dr. SiiundeM. At limt uc
countH ho was getting along as well
iik could be expected with about even
chiiiicm for recovery. fjold Beach

Contested game between
schools. i
Anybody's game, up to tho last
whistle, is the best description of the
VI to 1G contest between the basket
ball teams of Bandon and North Bend
high schools on the local floor, Fri
day evening.
Chatburn nnd Bowen gave a modern
version of David and Goliah and the
plucky little Bandon guard kept tho
six and a half foot North Bender on
edge all through tho game. Although
not scoring a single point, Chatburn
was the stellar performer for the
home guard and Bandon had him to
thank for tho victory. During the
first half he was pitted against Bowen
and held his man to one lone field bas
ket aid. In the last half, when Bow
qn was shifted to center against
Windsor, Chatburn still worried the
ig-inan until replaced by Armstrong.
N r.:inw ! Clnsi
North Bond was only in the lead
once during the game, during the last
minutes of play when the score stood
15 to 10 in their favor, but never dur
ing the contest did Bandon have a
lead that would permit it to lay off for
even a minute.. When the whistle
blew for the first half the score stood
7 to 4 against the visitors but during
the second period they came up with a
rush nnd a minute and a half before,
the last whistle wero leading by a
margin of one. With only thirty sec
onds to play, Leslie Pullen shot the
winning basket and the game ended
with North Bend fighting desperate-,
ly for another score.
Bowen Scores Most
Bowen of the visitors was tho high
point man of the evening making 14
out of the 10 tallies gathered by his
team by scoring five field baskets
and converting four out of seven
chances from tho foul line. L. Pullen
made a better average from the foul
line 'however, making three out of
five shots ho attempted from the big
circle. These three points coupled
with the four he made from the floor
put him in the place of high point
winner for tho locals.
Bandon Outweighed
Outweighed and considerably smal
ler than their husky opponents,
Coach Quigley's boys showed a spirit
of fight that will go a long ways to
ward lauding them tho county cham
pionship. With present indications
that tho contested game between Ban
don nnd Myrtle Point will be awarded
the former, the local boys will lead
the league with a percentage of .800
and have one nmre game to play at
home. Tho nice is now between Han
don, Miirshfield and Coquille and the
loss of one game by either of tho lat
ter will put them out of the running
while Bandon may drop two before
their hopes arc nil.

ATTT TREADGOLD, RETICENT
Non-Committal on Topic of Mr. Lilje
qvist'H Remarkable Discoveries
in Bandon Port Case .
Attorney G. T. Treadgold returned
Saturday night from Portland and
Salem, whero he has been for the past
week on legal business in the Supremo
Court and in connection with the es
tate of the late P. C. Ileald of Port
land. When reqested for an explanation
as to tho probable outcome of Mr. L.
A. Lijeqvist's petition for a rehearing
Mr. Treadgold did not express him
self further than to say tint while
the petition is a very lengthy and well
printed document, that, nevertheless,
it is a true saying, recognized by law
yers, that tho empty wagon rattles
loudest and that the petition for a re
hearing will doubtless be disposed of
by a motion striking it out, without
Iho necessity of further presenting
any arguments against the questions
raised.
In Salem, Mr. Treadgold was the
guest in the legislature for a short
time, of Senator Smith amP" Repre
sentatives Barrow and Pierce and re
ports that he was very favorably im
pressed with the conscientious efforts
of the law makers from this section,
and, indeed, of the whole body.

ON HUNDRED
& ME YEARS
James Haft of Langlois Con
gratulated on his Advanced
Years. Death of his Wife
On Monday, I'Yb. 15th the Haft
home in Langlois was the scene of a
social gathering by' a number of
friends who came to pay their res
pects to Mr. James Hnft and make
merry the one hundredth anniversary
of his birth.
Mr. Haft was born in Washington
county Penn, Feb. 15th, 1812 which
place he madp his home until March
10, 1852 when he enmo to the great
west, not us we know the country, but
as our history tells us of the great
hardships that were to bo endured for
all such men, and to whom we owe the
credit, blazing the trails into the great
treasures that nature has held intact
for so many years.
In 1853 he came to DoUglas county, (
Oregon and was for a- number of
years engaged in packing for the' dif
ferent mines throughout tho the coun
try. He states in regard to the preser
vation of his health, that in early
years he was required at times to go
for many days without a dry. piece of
clothing nnd was compelled to swim
.he many streams enroutc to the dif
ferent camps. And being a veteran
of the Indian war, is probably more
familiar with the habits of the red
nen than any other living person to
day. Mr. Cox has a wlfc'and six children
who aro all living. They are James,
Mrs. Frank Cox, Mrs. Robert- Wallace
Alfred, Mrs. W. H. Matheny, and
Roy. Curry County Leader.
Mrs. Margcline B. Haft, wife of
James Haft, died very suddenly last
Friday night at her home in Dairy
ville. She would have been 71 years
old the 11th of March.
On last Monday they celebrated Mr.
Haft's 103rd birthday aniversary and
Mrs. Ilaft was in apparently good
health.
Death coming so suddenly rendered
the situation extremely sad and hard
for the aged husband, and sorrowing
relatives to bear. The funeral was
held at Dairyvillc last Sunday and the
services were conducted from tho
Presbyterian church by .Reverends A.
Haberly and J. S. Tilton, attended
by a large circle of friends.
