GRAFTON in routing of talent is ex-
pected to occur at a meeting that
will probably be held September is.
Representatives Of the Coast Chau-

bring about the above objects and the
Albany Chautauqua association, of
Albany Or, will invite the different
representatives to gather there. WAL
lace r. Struble, secretary of the AL

1t is believed this meeting will re-
suit in better working basis for all
the coast chautauquas. 1t is thought
it will bring about more perfect ar
rangements for handling the speakers
who come on the Chautauqua circuit
and will likely enable the different as
sociations to secure better attractions
1t is expected arrangements will be
made whereby speakers who are too
high priced for any one chautauqua
to bring west will be routed around
the coast circuit, all sharing in the
expense of the trip and thus making
the cost to the individual associations
much less than would otherwise be the
case.
All these details will be worked out,
it is expected, at the meeting now
scheduled for September Is.

BIRD TROUBLES.

A trained ostrich recently discon-
certed its exhibitor at a music hall
by continually endeavoring to break
away from all restraint and to climb
over the foolights into the orchestra.
The widely advertised act came to
a sudden end and the professor en-
erged from behind the curtain and
apologized for the actions of his pet
in about these words:
Ladies and Gentlemen-Hi ham

ATHENA MAN NEARLY
CLAIMED BY DEATH
\. j. WILLABY SUFFERS
AN EPILEPTIC STROKE
Narrow Escape-Second Stroke He
Has Had-For1ner Young Women
of City Return From Alberta.
lsnecial Corresnondence. !

Athena, Ore, Aug. 5.--A. ]. Willaby,
prominent retired farmer of this
city, suffered a very severe epileptic
stroke at $3.50 yesterday morning and
he was very near deaths door.
Mr. Willaby was sitting in his home
yesterday morning and although not
feeling very well. he was not very i'll.
The stroke came on him very sudden
ly and his wife hearing the noise,
rushed from the kitchen and found
him almost gone. Her cries for as
sistance brought several of the neigh
bors in to aid her and by holding him
up and working his arms, Mr. Willaby
was brought to consciousness. DR..
Newsome, having been summoned in
the meantime, arrived on the scene
and by hard, steady work he was able
to bring Mr.. Willaby out Of the spell.
Today his condition has improved and
it is thought that probably he will re-
cover.
Mr.. Willaby quit farming several
years ago, leaving his land in the
care of his sons, and came to this
city to spend the rest of his days
| quietly and peacably; but this is the
second epileptic attack that he has
had. He and his family are esteemed
very highly in this community ant
the news of his almost fatal attack
yesterday was received very gravel!
by all.

Geo. Cross of this city, and Mrs. FREQ
Cross, daughter of John Keene, o.
this community, arrived several day.

he does not discover the pole in one,

Of six of our estimable rear admirals?
Yet who in the circle of the nations

these holders of toy titles and gilt

of such things. In the big world Of

a rear admiral's title add to him?
Bartlett Will Go.
Captain Robert A. Bartlett, who com
manded the Roosevelt in it's trip to
the arctic and went nearer the north
pole than any white man except Peary,
has already resigned a good job to
take his old station in the trip to the
other end Of the world Before he had

uerm1ne If an American expedition
would be acceptable to the British,
who through the Shackleton and other
explorations had established prior
claim in the antarctic field, revealed
the instincts of the sportsman and an
honorable regard for the feelings of
others. Peary's donation of his $1O,-
600 gift and Of the Roosevelt had a
dramatic touch and exhibited unself-
ishness. This same unselfshness was
displayed by his voluntary relinquish-
ment Of the honor of leading the ex-
petition.
Belated Recognition.
Those Of US who criticised Mr.. Peary
Tor his attacks on Dr. Cook should now
be the more ready to render tribute to
the true discoverer of the north pole.
While personally not for long deceived
by the Cook claims, 1, like the majority
OF other newspaper men who wrote on
the subject, regarded Peary's stric-
lures on his rival as ungenerous and
In bad taste. Subsequent events have
to some extent justified him, or at least
have shown his provocation. When
one has worked twenty-three years for
a certain thing and at last has attain
ed it only to have some purveyor of
fiction beat him to the cable Office and
claim the laurels-well, who wouldn't
yell "Stop. thief?"
The last heard of DR.. Cook he was in
South America, but he was not looking
for the south pole. he has doubtless
had enough of the polar proposition to
last him the rest of his natural life.
The doctor seems to be yearning for
obscurity. Why not let him have it?
It is now Peary's turn The house
of representatives may not be willing
to make him a rear admiral, but why
should that disturb him? There are

Bartlett look almost human, but there
are others that have a positively terri.
Tying aspect. l recall one in partic-
ular in which he has a pipe in his
mouth that would cause stampede of
polar bears. If he looked like that at
his Eskimo dog team it is no wonder
that the Peary party made quick time
to the pole. The dogs would cover
thirty or forty miles a day merely to
get away.
The English-American race to the
south pole will be a sporting event
That Will stir the worlds blood. The
two expeditions will start at opposite
sides of the pole at practically the
same time. Captain Scott will traverse
the route already covered by Lieuten-
ant Shackleton. The Peary party will
go in from Weddell sea over a course
uncharted and unknown. The English
expedition will have motors, Siberian
ponies and dogs. The Americans win
depend on dogs alone. While the RI.
valry is to be entirely friendly, it VII!
nevertheless be keen and should arouse
the sporting blood Of the two nations
as not even the yacht races, the Der
bies, the tennis and polo matches and
ether international contests have done.
It is not at all impossible that the
betting fraternity will get into the
game and big stakes be placed on the
event Commander Peary suggests
that one exploring party might get to
the pole only twenty -four hours ahead
OF the othsr which would be closer
race than that to the cable lines when
DR.. Cook broke out Of the north only
week ahead Of himself. There will
be no Cook finish to this affair. how
ever. The example Of the Brooklyn
explorer will prevent others from
claiming to have discovered any pole
whatsoever without sworn affldayits.
