ALL MIDDLE WEST SUFFERS Snow In Many Sections Is Accom panied by Piercing Winds-The Temperature Far Below Zero at Numerous Points. CHICAGO. Jan- 25. Piercing- cold made the "whole Northwest suffer today. The thermometer reached 15 below zero In Chicago. The record here Is 23 below, and there 1b some expectation that a new low point will be touched before the cold spell Is ended. One man, frozen stiff, was found by pedestrtiana on an outlying part of Thirty-second street. He had appar ently struggled along until exhausted by the cold, and had dropped unconscious and literally was frozen to death in bis tracks In the Enow. The unidentified corpse was taken to a morgue. There were countless Instances of frozen hands and ears. Trainee was greatly hampered. The bitter cold experienced today at 15 below Is the most Intense so far this "Winter In Chicago. Stretching to the Northwest, the mercury shows a swiftly descending scale, the minimum In the United States being at Bismarck and "Wll llston, N. D., where the official figures ere at 34 below zero. The crest of the wave Is beyond the National boundary line. MInnedoea, N. W. T., reporting 2S below. There are no telegraph stations northward from Mlnnedosa. ST. LOUIS HAS HEAVY SNOW. Car Service Is Crippled and Work at Fair Grounds Greatly Hindered. , ST. LOUIS. Jan. 25. During the day enow fell without cessation and it Is ap parent that the fall will continue through out the night Street-cars running on schedules were abandoned and every ef fort was made to keep the cars running regardless of time. At the Union Station, all ln-bound trains were reported to aver age about an hour late. While not the coldest weather of the season, the ther mometer stands at about 4 degrees above Eero, a few points higher than the lowest point reached this "Winter. The full effects of the storm were felt at the "World's Fair, where less than one half of the 10,000 men employed on the construction work reported for duty today. These worked under great diffi culty and with considerable suffering. The work of the 400 landscape men has been temporarily abandoned. ICE GORGE THIRTY FEET HIGH New York Has Not Seen the Like of It for Thirty Years. PORT JERVIS, N. Y., Jan. 23. An Ice gorge has formed In the Delaware four miles below here and already is 30 feet high around an Island In the middle of the river. The jam now reaches two miles above Port Jervls, but the water, which at first submerged a portion of the lower town, has fallen from 2S to 20 feet. It is running in a new channel over a farm on the Jersey shore, three miles be "TT)r town. Families along the river are moving to higher ground. At Trl-States, where the Neverslnk Hlver joins the Delaware, the water In the Delaware Is backing up Into the Nev erslnk and a new highway suspension bridge is threatened. The Erie bridges are being weighted to prevent damage. No such crush of ice has been seen here abouts since 1S75. ICE 10 FEET HIGH ON RAILROAD Cold Snap Adds Greatly to Discomfort at Wilkesbarre. WILKESBARRE, Pa., Jan. 25. There was little relief from the flood at Blooms burg, Catawissa and Espy this afternoon. The cold weather had added to the dis comfort, and all the flooded towns are en veloped In a sheet of Ice, two or three Inches thick. At Espy, one-half the houBes are un inhabitable. The hotels and residences at Bloomsburg and Berwick have been thrown open to the homeless. The Penn sylvania Railroad's Sunbury division is under six feet of water from Catawissa to South Danville, and the Bloomsburg di vision Is out of service between Blooms burg and Danville. Ice ten feet high Is piled on the tracks of the latter road. The damage is estimated at $2,000,000. BLIZZARD RAGES IN KANSAS. Snow Is Driven by a Fierce Wind and Much Loss Will Result. TOPEKA, Kan., Jan. 25. A blizzard has been raging throughout Kansas all flay. Snow, driven by a fierce north wind, has fallen and the mercury has been below zero. In Topeka It was ten degrees below.

Considerable tension is observable In governmental quarters con cerning the Russo-Japanese situation. This Is .due principally to the fact that the efforts toward a pacific adjustment have not made the progress which the officials hoped and expected. The general view of those highest in authority Is summed up In the statement that nego tlatlons have now reached a point where practically no progress Is occurring In any direction, whether this means that Bus sla's latest answer does not make con cessions which are likely to bring about a settlement. It Is Impossible to say, as the delicate stage of the negotiations prompts the officials to withhold precise details. The only statement Is that the ne gotiations are virtually at a standstill. It appears that one of the most difficult fea- tures Is the mutual distrust and hatred which have grown up between the par ties. It Is said that every statement of the present exchanges develops Japan's suspicion of Russia's good faith and Rus sia's antipathy to Japan. Owing to this bitterness, diplomatic efforts to secure a middle ground are proving unusually dlf ficult. It Is understood that Russia is now seeking to secure the neutralization of the Strait of Core a. The Russian view, as made known here, Is that Japan's forti fication of Masampho and Fusan consti tutes a menace to the world's commerce. since It gives Japan control over the nar row strait. It Is pointed out in support of this view that Japan already has a strongly forti fied island (Tsu Shlma) in the middle of the strait and that this Is distant 50 mites from Masampho and Fusan, so that the fortification of the latter points will con stitute another Gibraltar. The Strait of Corea Is claimed to be a vital outlet for the commerce of Northwest China and it is therefore asserted that it would be in the interest of Europe and America to se cure the neutralization of the strait.

ALL ABOUT COOS COUNTY RAPID PROGRESS ,IN ..REMOTE CORNER OF OREGON. New Railroad to Connect Wfth Drain North Bend a Thriving Town of Many Industries. Coos County has a spokesman in town in the personi of A. B. Daly, a machinery dealer of Marsh'field. Mr. Daly says that the county Is full of prosperity and that the people are full of energy. He describes the whole region as stimulated by the promise of a railroad eastward to Drain and northward to the Umpq.ua, All engi neers available are employed on the rail road survey. "It is suspected," remarked Mr. Daly, "that Santa Fe people are backing the project. Cooper, chief engineer, when asked who are the promoters, has said: 'You can count on this much: they are not the Southern Pacific and are en tirely Independent of the Southern Pa cific.' " North Bend, Mr. Daly declares, will be come the "commercial center" of Coos Bay whenever the railroad shall be built. So fast has the town grown that many fam.'lles are waiting for roofs to live under- Since January 1 construction of VETERAN OF CIVIL WAR Captain N. S. Pierce, who was for many years a resident of this city, dled of Brlght's disease Sun day morning- at South Bend, Wash. He came to Portland in 1874, and for a long time served as money order clerk in the f postofflce, and later he was a deputy In the United States Internal Revenue Office un der Colonel Milton G. "Weidler. Five years ago he accepted .a po sition ad postal clerk on the route between Cbehalls and South Bend, ind took up his residence at the latter place. Captain Pierce was bora at South Glastonbury. Conn., on November 24, 1842. At the breaking out of -the Civil "War he enlisted in Com pany A, First Connecticut Volun teers, and he subsequently served as an officer of the Twenty-third United States Infantry. He was the first commander of George Wright Post, G, A. H., in Portland, and for some time he was Captain of Company C, First Begiment, Oregon National Guard. He was a member of the Knights of Pyth ias, A. O. U. W., Woodmen of the World, Knights and Ladles of Honor, and other fraternal organizations. He left a wife and the following children: Mrs. F. W. Bay and Williams, of Portland; Mrs. Charles Wilson, of Olympla, and Norman S, of San Francisco. Mrs. A. C. Going, of Portland, was his sister. 40 houses has started. Already the town boasts of 1500 inhabitants. Other munici palities, such as Bandon, Coqullle City and (Marshfield, are progressing finely. A railroad, Mr. Daly says, will bring Coos Bay into closer relations with Port land. He does h"ot see that Portland mer chants will enlarge their trade very much In Coos until they get that means of transportation. Coos County will then be able to sell more of Its products here. "It la but natural," he remarked, "that the seller of an article will buy another article In the market where he finds customers. Just now San Francisco buys most of our articles. That city ships to us by eea and we ship to it the same way. If Port land could take our goods, you'd soon see many vessels plying Between your city and Coos Bay. I could get a dozen steamers In a week If I could get the freight for them.' ' Mr. Daly has been a resident of Coos Bay 27 years. His father, J. L. Daly, was a pastor at Portland for many years; also a schoolteacher at the same time and In the same building that Sylvester Pennoyer instructed the youths who after ward voted to make him Governor. 'Many a night." said Mr. Daly, running back to his boyhood, "Judge Deady, Judge Hamilton, Mr. Pennoyer and my father talked at our house. But I never heard the finish, for I was a boy then, and grew very sleepy after the day's transactions." The visitor then returned to tne subject of Coos County, to say, first of all, that the Lewis and Clark Exposition has no warmer friends anywhere on earth than in Coos. "Farmers, business men and lumbermen," said he, "believe that the Fair will advertise Oregon greatly to its advancement, and that Coos will reap Its full share of the benefits. Our part of the state is somewhat iso lated, yet progress is steady. A railroad survey is In progress between Drain ana Coos Bay. Starting at Drain, the project ed line runs down Elk Creek to the Ump qua River; thence along the north bank of the latter stream, 26 miles, to a point below Scottsburg. There the survey crosses to the south bank and follows the river to Its mouth, near Gardner. Thence the line runs southward along the coast to North Slough, on the north "bank of Coos Bay, where a bridge will connect with North Bend, on the south shore. The distance across the bay is two miles. Outside the channel the bay at low tide is a mud flat, which affords excellent an chorage for piling. Teredos do not infect this part of the bay, owing to the In fluence of fresh water; hence trestles and drawbridge will be easy to maintain. "The railroad company, whatever its Identity, has a full corps of engineers In the field, directed by a man named Cooper. In Marshfield the company has an office. Six months have already been consumed In making surveys between Drain and Coos Bay, a distance of SO miles. "The line from Coos Bay to Umpqua is under survey again. It is suspected that Santa Fe people are backing the project, but nobody seems to know their Identity. "The only productive coal mines In Ore gon are In Coos County. The Beaver- Hill Coal Company, owned by Spreckels, of San Francisco., operates a mine on the Coos Bay, Roseburg & Eastern Railroad. The steel collier Zarina, owned by the coal company, makes a round trip be tween San Francisco and Coos Bay, about once a week. About 1500 tons Is the ca paclty of the vessel. "The Oregon Coal & Navigation Com' pany Is also operating- its mine, and has two steamers carrying coal each week to San Francisco. A new mine, called the Crescent, owned by Denver people. Is de veloping steadily. Recently a new boiler plant was Installed. The company has drifted Into the mountain on a 19 per cent grade and tapped three veins of coal 19 feet thick. The coal Is showing up well. It Is a clear, bright lignite, with a small content of ash and moisture and with good domestic and steaming qualities. Sulphur is scarcely perceptible. "Tnree steamers ply regularly between San Francisco and Coos Bay weekly, and almost dally sailing vessels enter the bay from California. With this easy and fre quent communication with San Francisco Portland stands very little chance of in creasing its jobbing trade in this sec tion until a railroad connects Coos Bay and Portland. This Is very easy to under stand when we consider that coal, lumber and dairy products of Coos County are sold almost entirely In San Francisco. If Portland could handle Coos Bay coal. It would' make freight for steamers, and of course incidentally draw trade to this city which It does not now enjoy. "If Portland had rail communication with Coos Bay It would capture a large part of the business which San Francisco now controls, owing to the closer geo- graphical location of Coos Bay to this city; provided, of course, that Portland could handle the products of our district. It is natural for the seller of an article to buy in the market where he finds cus tomers. "Extension of the present local railroad, the Coos Bay, Roseburg. & Eastern, to connect with the Southern Pacific, would open up trade and a good freight and pas senger business. This local road Is now 26 miles long and is used chiefly for transporting logs and lumber from Co qullle river and coal from the mines to Coos Bay. The Myrtle Point Lumber Company, of Myrtle Point, and the John son Lumber Company, of Coqullle, ship regularly over this line. A train now runs dally. "Coqullle Valley is a natural dairy sec tion. Tide lands along the river form excellent pasturage throughout the entire year. Snow is rarely seen. Numerous creameries and cheese factories are estab lished on the river. The Irultof Co qullle Valley Is of good quality and finds Its principal market in San Francisco and locally. The Upper Coqullle Valley ships Its products principally via Coos Bay, while the people on Lower "Coqullle ship via Coqullle River. , "Two steamers, the Chlco and the Eliz abeth, jily regularly between Coqullle and San Francisco, xne Chlco was formerly the Alice Blanchard, of Portland, while the Elizabeth Is a new steamer, owned by D. T. Kruse, of San Francisco. The depth of water on the Coqullle bar ad mits of vessels drawing ten and one-halt feet at high tide crossing in and out. The Government should take steps, to DIES AT SOUTH BEND Captain N. S. Pierce. Mrs. T. , Pierce, lmprove this bar, as the commerce of the Coqullle River would develop enormously, especially In lumber, If It were possible to utilize boats of great capacity. "Bajidon, at the mouth of Coqullle River, grows steadily. The woolen mill. which was moved to North Bend, Is like ly to be replaced with anojther mllL The valley of the Umpqua furnishes a large supply of excellent wool, which, with the addition of certain grades of imported Australian wools, makes superior goods The Bandon Oil Company Is a local cor poration, which has been prospecting for oil some 12 miles below Bandon on the beach. The capital stock' of this com pany Is $25,000. The company Is boring for olL It Is down S60 feet and has struck a vein of natural gas, with good Indica tions of striking oil. "Coqullle City, the county seat of Coos County, Is very prosperous. A creamery with an ice and cold-storage plant does thriving business there. Tho creamer ies in this section ship their products entirely to San Francisco. "Marshfield has built many new resi dences In the past year. .A new Masonic temple, containing an opera house on the lower floor with lodge rooms above. Is now in process of construction. This building Is SOxlOO feet and Gi feet high It cast about $20,000. "North Bena is the thriving, hustling and bustling new city of Coos Bay. This new town is well located In a sheltered nook on the west bank of the bay. The streets are SO feet wide and finely graded. Fully 1500 people now live there. Forty new houses have been begun since Janu ary 1 and it looks as If the building boom has only commenced, many families wait ing for a roof to shelter them. "L. J. Simpson Is the father and the Mayor of North Bend. "When he. laid out the town 12 months ago he hardly expected to see It grow so fast. Extension of railroad facilities to Coos Bay will make North Bend the commercial center. "On the payroll of the Simpson Lumber Cpmpany are the names qf 1000 persons. The company operates two sawmills, several logging camps and a logging railroad. The North Bend Manufacturing Company Is a new sash and door enter prise, which can turn out 500 doors dally. The native white cedar Is the material from which this factory will chiefly man ufacture Its products. "In the North Bend woolen mills are employed 300 hands, who turn out an. ex cellent line of goods. The North Bend National Bank will soon begin business with L. J. Simpson as president. A. Cath ollc hospital is now in course of construe tion. The town is lighted with electricity and enjoys a good water system. "North Bend certainly has a promising future. Its people are working to build up a solid commercial city rather than to exploit town lots. The water-front of the city extends two miles and has a good depth of harbor. "Coos Bay always enjoyed the distinc tion of being the only point in Oregon wheie shipbuilding has been carried on to any extent. Since 1S59, when the old tug Arago slid off the ways at the North Bend shipyard, some 53 other vessels have loiiowea ner irom tne same yarns. "The Arago Is still In active- commission being engaged as an Arctic whaler. The frame of this vessel was constructed of white or Port Orford cedar, as It Is known to the trade. The lasting quality of this lumber Is phenomenal. Recently the frame of the old Arago was tested by boring and found to be as sound as the day It was framed.

Colorado' Mining Man Says Senator Clark Will Invest and -Develop ' on Immense Scale.' 'The biggest copper belt in the United States, bar none, lies between the Ump qua and Rogue Rivers in Southern Ore gon, and the district Is so rich In gold that I defy any man to fail in finding a paying placer property who will stick his pick into any one of the gulches between those streams." t This Is the statement made by I B. King, of Cripple Creek, Cold., one of the foremost mining experts in the country. to- an Oregonian representative at the Portland Hotel yesterday. Mr. and Mrs. King and Mr. and Mrs. H. Banfleld came to Portland yesterday from Drew, Or., and will remain in the city several days. Mr. Banfleld is principal owner of the famous Rainbow mine, and one of the best-known mining men In the state. "I came out here for the purpose of expertlng the Rainbow, and met with an agreeable surprise. It Is the only prop erty I have ever examined which was within 20 per cent as good as represented. The Rainbow 13 far and away beyond what I had been told, and what I have seen In that country down there convinces me that this state has the greatest min eral possibilities of any In the Union. If the mineral which is In sight In South ern Oregon was In Colorado there would be a stampede tomorrow which would equal that at Cripple Creek at the be ginning of the '90s. You people of this town and state are sound asleep as. far as your mineral wealth is concerned. You've gone crazy over timber lands and lumber ing and letting the greatest opportunity In this country today slip away from you. Within five years the people of Portland will stand on the street corners and tell strangers how they might have become millionaires if they had their wits about them. Inside of five years outsiders will go Into Southern Oregon and make 60-day fortunes. The people of Portland are grabbing at two-bit pieces and letting $20 gold pieces slip through their fingers. "Most of the prospecting which has been done In the Rogue River country has been misdirected. Men go In there and punch holes all over the country, and after they get down 10 or 12 feet abandon them. I went all over It and didn't see a hole over two feet deep that a thorough mining man would leave. I never saw such careless methods In my life, and I never saw better prospects anywhere than there are down there. Outside capital Is beginning to look this way, and my advice to the people of this state is to wake up and get into that field before It Is too late. Senator Clark, the copper king, is going to begin operations on a big scale down there as soon as. Spring opens. His son, Charles, is on his way here now, and will be In Portland inside of a week. Clark has 11 claims now, and will get all he can. Take my word for it, things are going to pop from now on. The Rainbow Is one of the few mines In that section which Is being worked in practical manner. Mr. Banfleld has done his development in a scientific man ner, and has not paralleled his tunnels.
