“It Don’t Hurt a Fact to
Hammer it.”
STATE PARAGRAPHS
Ì
VARIOUS SOURCES IN OREGON
The fact we wish to hammer is that Alex McNair & Co.’s
store gives more quality, service and satisfaction than any other
store in Tillamook county.
&
In the circuit court at Coquelle last
Friday Judge Jo h n S. Coke made a
a record for Coos county in granting
divorces, six decrees being issued in two
hours. All the plaintiffs were women
and tney all live in Marshfield.
Mr. and Mrs. W illiam Black, of
M arshfield, celebrated their golden
wedding and held a family reunion last
Sunday. The old people are still in good
h ealth. They were m arried on a farm
near O akland, Douglas county in 186/),
a year after Mrs. Black had come across
th e plains from Missouri, in an ox curt.
Four of their five children live on Coos
bay. Mr. and Mrs. Black came to Coos
Bay in 1875 and settled on a farm near
Sum ner where they lived for nearly 40
years before retiring anil moving to
Marshfield.
Fearing th a t they had friends aboard
the ill-fated Santa C lara, wrecked on
Coos bay bar last week, Mr. and Mrs.
E. T. W olverton, of Bandon, are trying
to find the owners of pictures picked up
among the wreckage on the beach.
Three fram ed photographs, one of Mr.
W olverton and one of his wife and the
th ird of an elderly woman, whom they
both recognized, yet cannot recall the
nam e, were - found brought to Mr.
W olverton. He states th a t the pic
tures of him self and his wife were taken
last spring, by a local photographer,
and th a t he knows all of the persons to
whom any of them have been given.
The passenger list of th e Santa Clara
shows no names whicn eith er of them
recognize.
A water spout, the most perfect ever
seen on this section of the coast, formed
in tint breakers ju st south of the m outh
of the river a t Bandon one day last
week, and moved nortwaril along th e
coast six miles before breaking. It was
first seen by m em bers of the Coast
G uard as it rose out of the breakers. At
its height It seemed to reach from th e
w ater to a low-hanging black cloud, a
stra ig h t colum n seven or eight feet
th ic k , moving a t th a rate of about 80
miles an hour.
Announcing th a t 20 per cent ot the
532 prisoners in the penitentiary are
young m en just entering m aturity, who
had been convicted of either forgery or
obtaining money by false pretenses,
Governor W ithycom be has recently de
clared th a t it was a deplorable condition
th a t should be rem edied if possible.
“ This is really appalling and shows a
serious m oral obtuseness among some
of our young m en,” said the governor.
"W hatever influence is responsible for
contributing to this deplorable condi-
t —
Our Piienominal Success Demonstates that Fact.
