RUNNERS
Do WELL IN MEET
Every Member Of Blue and
White Squad in Lafayette
Games Scores Points.
BY b. c. BYRD.

Four men wearing the colors of
Central High School yesterday ended
the track and field schedule of that
Institution by making an excellent
showing in the annual scholastic meet
held at Lafayette College. Central
sent only a small squad. but each
member of it brought back point or
more to his credit as result of
place won in fast competition.
Mclean was the runner to finish
first in his race. The youngster took
honors in the 220-yard low hurdles
event in 81 seconds. which created
track record. Solomon got second
place in the broad jump. being only
few inches behind the winner. who
leaped 81 feet Az inches. Holden
in 2 minutes and " Of a second.
Montgomery got fourth place in the
mile, an event in which the victor did
minutes and "a seconds.
Performances such as the above are
xceedingly creditable. The men who
took part in the meet Of yesterday
undoubtedly were the best that the
eastern scholastic institutions afford.
and that Central has produced men
capable of going into competition
with them on even terms speaks well
for the character of the men engaged
in the sport and for the quality Of the
coaching.
A former Washington schoolboy In the
person of Monroe Sheehan, now at
Princeton Preparatory School. took part
in the meet and got third place in the
quarter. The winner only did 50 2-5
seconds. Sheehan. according to his past
performances, should have done better
than that himself.

the port of Coos Bay, appeared today
before the committee OF rivers and

provement Of the inner barber of

gressman w, G. Hawley and asked
that the appropriation of $1SO,OO0

said that the Coos Bay port had
spent 100000 on the port, and that
1t had gone the constitutional limit
OF taking for harbor purposes and
has spent practically all the available
funds. Mr.. McLain said that the
harbor had silted up, and that to
make deeper water available in the
inner harbor would require the mon
ey from the fedral government for
dredging out the silt. Mr.. McLain re-
turns to Marshfield tonight.

BELIEVES SIBERIA WILL BE Scene OF
WORLDS NEXT GREAT DEVELOPMENT

Where is the next Land of Prom
ise," the next Klondyke, the next
Ell Dorado? is the question that is
on many tongue.
With the changing of the world
geography, the shifting of nations,
all of which will precede the quick
ly-following reconstruction period.
many men with venturesome spirits
men who will brave many dan
gers and who are not deferred by
distance-are casting their eyes
about for the next land of oppor-
,tunity.
While the Balkan states, whose
natural wealth is said to be yet
hardly touched, despite the oldness
of that country, is receiving some
consideration, Siberia seems to be
the cynosure of all eyes. 1t is coun-
try twice as large as the United
States and as yet undeveloped. Its
natural resources are many, while
the recent announcement that much
gold is being discovered there has
given many an American the fever
to explore its vast domains. A few
local men are interested in Siberia
and the Balkans, and one Of these
men, q. w. Allen, in response to ar
inquiry, has just received the fol.
lowing letter from the Seattle cham.
ber Of commerce:
Rogue River courier. (Grants Pass, Or.) 19??-1918, 1918-12-17

In reply to your letter of Decem-
Der 6, addressed to the Seattle Starr,
There can be no question but
what an enormous development will
take place in Siberia within the next
ten years, but there is considerable
question as to just when this devel-
opment will get under way and the
general circumstances attached to
it.
cat the present time Siberia is be-
ing policed by the allied troops, the
Czecho-Slovaks and volunteer troops
organized by the Siberians. That
does not mean, however, that stable
conditions prevail in Siberia. Such
condition cannot prevail until such
time as the people of Siberia organ
ize satisfactory democratic form
of government that they will admin
lister themselves. rs,
\ Because of the lack of education
among the Russian people them
selves, and particularly because Of
the type of sporadic leadership that
seems to develop there. we are in
clined to believe that stable conditi-
ons of government in Siberia may
not be established for many months.
In the meantime, sort Of benevo-
lent protectorate will probably be
established by the allies.

City Workers VIII Assist Outlying
Districts Tomorrow In the
Solicitation Work

Workers, team captains and the
executive committee of the Red
Cross Christmas membership drive
we're all busy yesterday. The re-
ports which come in continue in the
main to be favorable, although some
teams have met with a slowness In
responding to the call OF this high
ly serviceable institution.
One man solicited yesterday gave
the response that his wife attended
to such things. This morning, how
ever, that moral executive common
ly known as conscience, had been
working over night. and this same
man came to headquarters and con-
fessed that he really had no wife,
and handed over his dollar.
In one business institution in this
city two solicitors, after receiving
the subscription of the proprietor,
went into the back room where some
10 men were playing cards. After
receiving several more or less dis
courteous replies the committee left
the place without securing single
subscription. These men will of
course be visited by a more husky
committee.
The out country work is slow on
account Of much sickness, but the
drive will be thoroughly made. Some
town workers will go out tomorrow
to assist several of the outlying dis
tricts.
Remember, the solicitors are for
your convenience. If you do not see
any of them, bring your subscription
to headquarters immeditely, as it
is hoped to close up the campaign
early with the us al 100 per cent
record.
