COOS BAY SEES NEW LINE.
Appearance of Pacific GrGeat West
ern Promoters Starts Rumors.

Marshfield, Ore.-The visit of
party of men, supposed to be here
in connection with a railroad move
ment, has created much interest.
Those in the party are w. j. Wilsey,
J. H. Turner and j. p. Eddy. The
latter has been here for a few days
and met Messrs. Wilsey and Turner,
who came up the coast in an automo-
bile. They refuse to be interviewed
but it is understood that they made
the trip by auto all the way from
San Francisco.
On account of the connection of
two of the men with the promotion
of the Pacific Great Western, the
road which was projected from Eu-
gene to Coos Bay and which was
sold to the Southern Pacific, it is
believed that they are here on rail-
road business.
Mr.. Eddy was here before as right
of-way man for the Pacific Great
Western and Mr.. Wilsey had much to
do with the road. In fact, he is
credited with being one of the main
promoters and on his last visit here
was entertained as the man who
started the railroad movement to-
ward Coos Bay.
There is some mystery as to the
identity of j. H. Turner He regis
ters as from Scotland and it is said
that he is a prominent and wealthy
man of Great Britain who has rail-
road interests in this country. He
refuses to be interviewed by anyone
and what business is transacted
seems to be done through Mr. Will
sey. The latter says that possibly
their visit here may result in another
railroad move of some kind which
will be beneficial to Coos Bay.

OPERATED IN DENVER.
Wells LOunsberry's Suitcase, Found
in Hotel, Contains Incriminat-
ing Evidence.

Topeka, Kan.-The past of Wells
Lounsberry, the Oregon orchardist
wounded last Friday while ATTEMPT
ing to hold up a Union Pacific mail
car, is the object of a nationwide
search Dy government officials, and
requests have been received from all
parts OF the country asking that an
investigation be made, in an effort to
connect him with unsolved train rob-
berries for twenty years. From Dem
yer comes the report that he has
been identified with crimes in that
city, during July. A suitcase fur
nishes the Denver clue.
1t is believed that Lounsberry
went to Kansas City from Denver
and intended to come back here TO
get his grips and mail. A worn suit
case with all of Lounsberry's travel
ing possessions was found at a Dem
yer hotel. Check number 3S was
found in his possession, and il cor
responded with the number of the
case at the hotel
The suitcase was opened by gov
ernment and police officers and the
contents bore out the reports that
Lounsberry had been in Denver at
various times and had operated here
as footpad. The grip gave the gov
ernment officers the first correct
spelling of the bandits name.
Among the articles in the case was
check book showing that Louns-
berry had funds in the Medford Ma
tional Bank and since the first of
July had drawn on the bank for
small amounts totalling $500. The
police are inclined to believe that
the bandit was leading a dual life
because of the fact that several stub
/ checks showed amounts ranging
from So to $25 payable to Lillian. -
| his wifes name.
There was also in the suitcase a
fancy suit of black clothes and other
wearing apparel of latest patterns.
Lounsberry was not registered at
the Oxford in Denver, and the clerks
/ do not remember when the case was
checked or whether the bandit came
in person or sent someone else with
it. 1t had not been there over a
week, the clerks believe.

I'VE STAND AT ARMAGEDDoN.v
Phrase Has Significance in Bible
History and Revelation.

I'VE stand at Armageddon and
battle for the Lord" has become an
almost famous phrase by this time.
A friend asks us what it means. Few
seem to have any idea of what Arm
ageddon" is.
The name means "the Mount of
Megiddo," and Megiddo is part of
the Plain of Esdraelon in Palestine.
which separates the hills and noun
tains of Galilee from those of Sa-
maria. In the original distribution
of the land between the Twelve
Tribes this fertile plain fell to the
lot of Issachar.
1t has always been the greta bat
tle-ground between armies contend
ing for the supremacy over Syria or
Palestine. Here the forces of Barak
and Sisera, of Gideon and the Mid.
ianites met. Here the Philistines
were overcome by Saul. The great
conflict between Elijah and the
priests of Baal occurred on the west
ern border of this plain, after the
memorable test on Mount Carmel.
The armies of Assyria and Egypt met
on more than one occasion on this
plain in mortal combat, and here the
great Napoleon in more modern
times was encamped on his eastern
crusade. 1t has always ben a field
of blood. After the encounter be-
tween Gideon and the Midianites,
the Midianites and the Amalekites
and all the children of the east lay
along in the valley like grasshoppers
for multitude, as the sands by the
seaside for multitude"
The prophet Zacharia (xii:1D,
speaking of the day of Lord" says:
In that day shall there be a great
mourning in Jerusalem, as the
mourning of Hadadrimmon in the
valley of Megiddo."
This mourning refers to the death
of King Josias.
John the Revelator tells us that
one of the final encounters between
forces of light and darkness shall
take place at Armageddon (Rev.
Xvi:16), and We presume this is
meant by those who tell us that I'VE
stand at Armageddon" They mean
to say that this contest for the presi-
dental chair is the final conflict be-
! tween right and wrong, just before
the millennium. But that is sheer
nonsense. 1t is, therefore, a highly
| fiSurative phrase, which, stripped of
its rhetorical ornament, means abso-
lutely nothing Evening

EUROPE COULDN'T STOP
BULGARIA IN THIS WAR

And who is the Bulgar, this new phe-
nomenan in the human arena?
The population of Bulgaria, at the
last census, was something over four
millions-less than the population of
the city of New York. Of these about
three and quarter millions are Bull
CARS. Yet, if reports are not eXag
gerated, they have put 100000 men in
the field. They are fighting race,
though this is the first time the Turk
entered Europe that they have been
permitted to show their true qualities.
They would not have been permitted to
do that now if they had not acted so
quickly that the great Christian powers
had no opportunity to intervene. But
with the prestige they have now won,
who will dare to undo their work?
The Bulgar is by race a Finn. His
ancestors came into the Balkan region
from the valley of the Volga in the
seventh century. The Russians have
recently learned how the Finnish race
loves liberty The first Bulgars in the
Balkans conquered a place for them
selves; then they settled down and, to
a certain extent, blended with those
whom they had begun by subduing.
For time they won glory in war, but
afterward they almost dropped out of
sight, while the great nations around
them were developed
But to every one his turn. The sell
fishness, the forgetfulness, and the
neglect of Europe have furnished to
the Bulgars their opportunity.
A short month ago Bulgaria was of
less Importance than a pawn, left be-
hind and unsupported on the chess
board. Not one reader In 20 knew
where to look for Bulgaria on the map
of the world. Today she stands crown
ed in the king row. She is, for the mo-
ment, the most powerful piece OH the
board. She has the advantage of po-
sition. She is protected by the con-
science of the world.

PARIS, Nov. 19.-In the heart of old
divided the land and severed the peo-
pies and balanced the forces and trod-
den justice and religion and race under
| foot to suit their own selfish purposes,
Bulgaria, new power, has risen with
| the unexpectedness and the resistless
might of a volcanic island emerging
dismay of the diplomats the old slave
song of submission is no longer heard
on the lips of these warriors of the
Balkans, fighting for the faith of their
fathers, the honor of their wives and
the future of their children.
The Bulgarian Mars is real god of
war, such as the world has not seen in
these latter days. He is comet in
whose light the stars grow dim. He
fears nothing, and he achieves the i'm
possible. The guns of English battle
ships, the threatening CLEAN of Rus
sian and German bayonets, and the
Wanted terror of the Mohammedan
crescent and scimitar are nought in his
eyes. Numerical odds he brushes aside
like chaff. Greater than all numbers
is the strength of his dauntless heart.
Like a thunderbOlt he has demoi-
ished tradition. In three weeks he has
changed the face of Europe. In one
whitening campaign he has flung the
shredded banner of the Turk back upon
the trembling cusps of the Golden
Horn! What all Christendom could
not accomplish in six centuries he has
achieved before the autumn moon that
shone over his. first victory could re-
turn again in her circled orb! He has
filled Islam with the first terror that
has shivered through his veins since
the cry of Allah akbar!" began to
resound under the domes OF Santa
Sophia. Could even we, looking across
the ocean, with patience see him rob-
bed of the fruits of his victory? once
achieved, could any power really rob
him of those fruits?
