$50 Young Chicks

Postmaster Casey Is not going into
the poultry business extensively, al
though the postoffice resembled q
poultry yard a few days ago. The
postmaster soffice was turned into a
temporary chicken yard and small
peeps" ran at liberty over the floor.
The mail brought one hundred and
fifty chicks from California. They
arrived on the morning train after
travelling for twenty-four hours, only
one being dead from the long trip.
The fussy little fellows attracted
great attention.
The parcel post carries some great
surprises to the clerks and the scope

WOMEN RALLYING
TO DRY STANDARD

While the men of Jackson county
put their names down to the tune of
1870, the women were there with 25O,
which establishes new record, last

The relative standing continues
the same with the republicans far in
the lead, the democrats next and the
independents and prohis leading the
progressives.
The women are flocking to the
dry tsandard fast, 147 being regis
tered as prohibitionists and only 75
men. The total, 4,071, is a good reg.

SPECIAL FEATURES

The Star theatre is the only house
between San Francisco and Portland
having regular and continuous SER
vice of special features every day.
Most of the theatres only show this

the Star is sparing no expense in
serving the people.
The educational picture showing
the pearl button industry and por-
traying the hands through which
they pass fro mthe she'll to the con-
sumer, was indeed interesting.
The picture showing how talcum

pecial benefit, az every one is inter

A number OF good ones are COM
ing every day now and should not be

Next Saturday

The Boys Club hike to Panther
Peak failed to materialize last Sat
urday owing to inclement weather
and the fact that Professor Vining
was pressed in v service as timekeep-
er over the crew of thirty men now
engaged on the Vining theatre-his
brother Robert being under the ne
cessity of going to Portland and Sc

same character OF construction along
the coast on an extensive scale.
f, E. Conway arrived in the city
last Friday to spend a couple of
weeks with his family and also to dis
pose of a number of mortgages and

months in San Francisco and Los
Angeles, where he made a special
study of the very latest wrinkles"

ness, large or small, for cash or OH
terms or percentage, anywhere on the
coast. Their heavy purchasing power
and splendid working force, with the
addition of ample capital, place them
In position second to none in their
line. Speaking of his present crews.
Mr.. Conway states that while in Los
Angeles he hired an expert office
manager, an assistant master build
er, a master plasterer and a master
painter. These men, who are experts
in their respective lines, will supple
ment the Conway crews which arc
now already working on Coos Bay.
Mr.. Conway says the company now

Conway has exhibited to his friends
