Col. J. E. Muchert of the Fourth
Texas infantry, made the following de
tailed report of the uffnir:
"Col. Butler was sittinir with other
officers, citizens and me in front of
tne hotel about 8:45 p. m., July 20,
wnen mr. ana Mrs. rspnnneu drove up
in their ear, Spannell called Col But

ed the rear door and asked Col. But
ler to take the seat with Mrs. Span
ned. Col. Butler did so and Spnnuell
immediately drove off n round, the cor
ner of the hotel.
"After the car had proceeded about
600 yards into the residence district,

tho Span noil's car in the evening. "
"HpnnneH seemed ?o be of an ex
tremely jealous disposition. It is stnt
ed that hn frequently hnd disagree

beautiful. The general opinion is that
Mrs. Spannell never gave her husband
any cause for jealousy, and the unani

innocent of any wronij."

Whereas, the wear on Oregon roads

Whereas, the improvement of

GRAIN BAOS FIRMER
Portland, Ore., July 22. The graiu
bag market is becoming more active and
at the same time appears to be gaining
in strength. Inquiries have been in
creasing lately and a few sales of good
sir.e have been reported. Farmers as a
class have held back their purchases
until the eleventh hour, and the belated
demand, in the opinion of dealers, can
have no other effect than to strengthen
prices inasmuch as the statistical po
sition of the market has not improved.
The supply of bags for the coming crop
is practically all in hand and the same
shortage that was figured out early in
the season still exists. If anything it
has been increased as crop estimates
have been enlarged. The one uncertain
factor in the situation is tho bulk ship-
Woodland Team Is
No Longer Member of
Inter-City League
Camas, Wash., late yesterdny after
noon took over the franchise of the
Woodland team of the Inter-City Base,

No longer will the clubs of the Inter

Norman Bay, of the semi-professional
organization, has kept it to himself.
Late yesterday afternoon Manager
Archibald Blair, of Camas; Owner E. E.
Dale, of Woodland, and President Bay
held a secret conference in the latetr's
office, 270 Fourth street, upon the con
clusion of which it was announced that
the franchise officially had been trans
ferred. Manager Blair, of Camas, was offered
all of the players belonging to Wood

Arrange for Excursion to
Marshfield, and Every
boUy's Going
The Cherrians are to have a real hon
est -to-gooduess revival in spirit. At the
meeting last eveniug, called to consider
the Marshfield excursion, the feeling
was manifest. Kino- Bias Deckebnch
said he was not especially proud that
ins cuouris. Known as tne liveliest
boosters in the valley had made such
a poor showing Cherry 'fair day.
Charles L. Dick, one of the eihortera
for a new spirit, wanted to know if the
Cherrians were dead, or just sleeping.
For the great baby parade on Cherry
fair day, ull he could muster as guards
for the baby parade was eight Cher
rians out of the hundred or more in the
city.
"I think a lot of ginger is neces
sary," said Mr. Dick. "Let's set busy
and have a great picnic at Marshfield
ana advertise it."
Hal D. Patton, another exhorter for
more ginger nnd get-up among the
Cherrians, thought the members should
show more interest in everything.
"Let's make this excursion a howling
success, or just quit," he said.
Some Preliminaries.
With these few preliminary remarks
tendifig to arouse the spirit of tho mem
bers, everybody nt once showed a won
derful revival of the days when the
Cherrians did things. The excursion to
Marshfield is not only to be a Cherrian
excursion, but the spirit was present
to mnko it one of the biggest events
of the year. With other excursionists
at Marshfield, it was evident that Sa
lem would have to make a big showing.

was a feeling that Sulem should be well
represented and do things up right dur
ing the one day and two nights spent nt
Marshfield.
Of course, traveling around and car
rying a bnod like the Cherrian, costs
money ana in order to raise pnrt of the
sum necessary, it was decided to give a
grand picnic at the fair grounds Thurs
day afternoon and evening, July 27, to
which the whole town will be invited.
The program includes a big dinner to
be served at the fair grounds restau
rant. After the dinner at 6 o'clock, a
jitney dance will be given, the music to
be furnished by the Cherrian band.
This picnic and dance is to be a city
affair and the money received will be
applied to paying the expenses of the
band to Marshfield,

about St o'clock, stopping at Dallas 15
minutes. Independence 15 minutes, Cor
vullis 45 minutes and Eugene ,10 min

field Friday evening nbout fi o'clock.
The return will he made by tho main
line, leaving Marshfield Sunday morn
ing, giving the excursionists the benefit
of two daylight trips through the won
derful scenic country between Coos Bay
nnd Eugene.
The Marshfield Commercial club
promises the excursionists things to ent
about like this: clams, crabs, razor
clams, rock oysters, mussels, halibut,
ling cod, torn end, red snnpper, sturgeon,
salmon and whale. The club also pro
poses to do the right thing in entertain
ing the governor and Cherrians on their
first visit to the Coos Bay country.
From now on, with the prospects of
the big three day excursion and the
picnic nt the fair grounds, with the
ginger-up meeting of last evening, the
opinion hns been expressed that Chns.
L. Dick will not feel cnlled on to nsk
whether the Cherriuus nre dead or sleep

the organization once more into shape
