The hotel property here changed
hands during the week, MIR. Mulkcy of
/ Baker Ciiy being the purchaser. We
understand that extensive improve
mCnls viii bc made on the property
next summer, aud that until that time,
or f1r u year, Robert Rand will again
have charge ol the hotel.
Coming from Portland Tuesday
night We had the pleasure of riding
with win Harm, who was on his way
TO spokane. He inquired after old
friends here and will stop for visit
when on his way back. He Is much
pleased with The Coos Bay country, as
he says, not for what 1t is, but for what
II Is going TO be.
We received Tuesday from Mr.. S, {.
Tostcviu Of Chicago sample Of the
material of which the cornices, Orna-
mcnts, tablets and other decorations Of
the worlds fair buildings ARE being
made. II is Of snowy whitcncss, and

nodded into any shape.
The Portland exposition this year Is
better than ever, aud that " saying
great deal. Ii you take the little folks,
which vou should do. don't forget tO
take them Into the hall of illusions"
and also into the "little world The
latter Is n puppct show, but certainly n
very wonderful one, the little figures
moving naturally and the machinery,
which moves them, being entirely con-
ocaled.
c. p. Hcald took the premium at the
Portland exposition for largest and best
exhibit of apples grown by exhibitor.
The prize was Il 500 sprayer Henry
Prigge took the premium for best three
plates of apples. 1t seems that some
of the fruit sent down got scattered in
such u way that Hood River did not
receive due credit for It.. As it was, the
Hood River apples led the display by
long distance.
The Underwood brothers have COM
pleted road from the mouth of the
White Salmon to intersect the present
road three miles from the mouth of the
river When they get in n bridge to
doing this fall, it will shorten the road
from Trout lake and Cammas prairie
four miles. The landing at the mouth
of the White Salmon is good one, and
the opening of the new road will have
n tendency to divert some if not all of
the travel from the present road.
There were more transfers of real es-
tate here this week than for month
previous. Besides the Rand half block
and Mrs, Hull's place, which we mem
ton elsewhere, j. Il. Feak sold ten
acres to Mr.. Reedcr, Virgil Winchell
sold forty acres to Mrs, Louisa Reed,
who in turn sold ten acres to Benjamin
II. Winters, and several other trans,
fers of which we are not fully in
formed, We're made. Evidently the
prospect of getting water for irrigating
purposes has set the real estate market
to moving.
II seems that the town is Just now
the most deeply interested of any Sec
ton in the water question. Captain
Coe tells us that next year he will not
furnish water for irrigation purposes,
and this means that our lawns are to
be dried up and our flower gardens an
impossibility. If the west side ditch is
built it will give the town an abun-
dance of water, not only for irrigating
purposes, but for fire protection. This
latter would cause marked reduction
in insurance rates. We want to stand
IN, all of as.
