GOOD RAILROAD LESSON
TAUGHT BY THE CIRCUS

A few figures that tend to show
that a railroad would do in the Coos
Bay country are given by Walter
Lyon of Marshfield, who is a Portland
visitor. incidentally It shows that
Coos Bay people have money to spend,
for $50 teams went over the stage
roads to Roseburg to attend the Ring
ling circus.
Counting four persons to the
team" said Mr.. Lyon, this means
1000 people, and this is not an over
estimate, I think. The lowest stage
fare from Marshfield to Roseburg is
one gone by stage, would have been
$4,000 for the round trip. That
shows what went out of Coos county
to the circus saying nothing of what
was spent at Roseburg and the circus
itself
Government figures of steamers
passing over the bar for the last
year show 13,90S passengers. Up
and down Coos river there we're 37,-
6S3 passengers on boats, a total of
more than $4,000. Taking into ac-
count the increased traffic that would
result If communication were made
east by railroad, and saying nothing
about the increase of population and
development of new sections, some
idea can be gained of what a railroad
would do for itself, as we'll as for

London, Sept. 3.-Following the
discovery of high explosives in the
coal bunkers OF the crack battleship
Forward, the officers OF the British
admiralty today are in state of fer
ment.
Similar discoveries in three other
battleships recently caused a rigid in

probing when the announcement was
made that high explosives had been
found on the Forward. As result
Z this latest finding instructions have
been rushed to every officer in the

CHAPTER l..
Nv the Fire.

BY the Fire.
Martin was weary of the woodman' s
hut, as he was before weary of the
mine. Watt had hard work to pacify
him. His rheumatism was better.
Neither Jasper nor Walter could de-
eide how far the attack was real and
how far simulated. PROBABLY he really
suffered, and exaggerated his suffer
ings to provoke sympathy.
Whilst the weather was summary
he endured his captivity, for he could
/ lie in the sun on a hot rock and
smoke or whistle, with his hands in
his pockets, and Martin loved to
| lounge and be idle; but when the
weather changed, he became FESTIVE,
ill-humored and dissatisfied What ag-
gravated his discomfort was a visit
from Barbara, whom he found it i'm
possible to impress with admiration
for his manly beauty and pity for his
sorrows.
