LUMBER COMPANY WINS
Pickets Kept Ships From Securing
Seamen Appeal Refused in
Circuit Court.
San Francisco, Oct. 7. Tho
United States circuit court of appeals
today decided against tho Sailors
Union and the Pacific Coast Marino
Firemen In their appeal against an
injunction of tho circuit court on
application of the Hnmmond Lumb
er company, which claimed it had
been damaged to tho extent of ten
thousand dollars by the unions' in
terference with Its vessels, the union
picket boat crew dissuading crews
from sailing on them. It was also
stated that the unions are insol
.vont and could not pay the damages
if awarded. In appealing, tho unions
stated they were solvent, having a
fund of one hundred and fifty thous
and the appeallant had relief in a
suit for damages that the Injunction
was violative of their rights; that
they had a right to endeavor to im
provo their condition and organize
for that purpose and to communicate
their desires to others for that pur
pose. ' In affirming former tho judge
ment and so making permanent the
injunction, the judges gave It as
their opinion that the "solvency or
insolvency of the appeallant was Im
material ns, are cases of continuing
trespass, and the measure of dam
ages was difficult to ascertain," and
tho injunction was not to restrain
the liberty of tho nppeallants but
to prevent lawlessness.

Captain Pays a Fine.
E. L. C. Farrln was called to North
Bond to prosocuto Capt. Mitcholl,
of tho schooner Arngo on a criminal
charge. Tho man nssaulted was
Harry Mathews, n sailor, whom tho
evidence showed, had gone aboard
tho Arago and trlod to run tho ship.
Capt. Mitchell, so it is said, floored
him with a scantliug and then ho
was n good Bailor for a tlmo.
Mitcholl was fined ftvo dollars and
costs, nnd Matthowa got a Hko (loso
in tho municipal court.
New additions to tho Chamber of
Commerce display are made daily.
Yesterday a hill of corn was brought
in from tho farm of William Bone
brake on Catching Inlet. It was
grown on reclaimed marsh land and
is twelvo foot high, with fodder as
rank as could bo produced in old
Missouri. A samplo of millet grown
on the same land was also sent in.
A water melon and specimen of
quinces, grown by R. Q. Rooke were
also sent in. C. S. Hillborn brought
over aspeclmen of apples grown on
his place across tho bay. The apples
aro a distinct variety produced from
a seedling by Mr. Hillborn and have
not yet been given a name. Mrs.
Tom Hall contributed an oddity In
the way of a chrysanthemum. It
sprung from a package of seed pur
chased for all white, but this speci
men turned out to be a dark red
flower resembling the cactus family
as much as tho chrysanthemum. Mr.
Snyder has established the standing
exhibit with a cluster of ripe black
berries and also brought in a huckle
berry bush that holds a place in the
category of curiosities. Apparently
It bears both red and black huckle
berries, and It 13 only after close
analysis that it is discoTered that
two roots Intertwined and grew to
gether, one of the red variety, the
other of the black. Yesterday Dr.
Culln of Myrtlo Point brought over
a specimen of the Bismnrck apple
grown on his place. It weighs a
pound and a half and Is the same ap
ple that brings tho top market price
when grown In tho Wlllametto val
ley. Mr. Bishop, the expert apple
packer, who Is preparing the exhibit
of twenty-four boxes of apples to bo
sent to Portland, will report progress
week and the apples will bo shipped
not later than next week. It has
been suggested that somo Coos coun
ty evergreens, such as Oregon frape,
fern, cedar or growth of ornamental
nature be sent along to set off tho
display of apples, and the Chamber
of Commerce will bo very thankful
for information as to where choicest
overgreens may be had.
The agitation as to what section of
tho stato produces the (best apples
has already been started in tho Wll
lametto valley and It Is realized that
nothing less than Coos county's very
best apples, arranged In the most at
tractive stylo, should bo placed In
Olds, Wortman & King's show win
dow, whoro both Hood Hirer nnd
Wlllametto valley have displayed
their choicest fruits.
Much of tho time of the secretary
of tho Chamber of Commerce is de
voted now to assisting now arrivals
to securo rooms and residences. A
uuiuuvr ui iiinuiies aro nere now
wnltlng for living quarters. They
aro families, too, that will make de
sirable acquisitions to the city.
Thoso having room or houses to let
now or houses or rooms that will bo
vacant soon, should report to tho
uuaiuuur ui wummerco ana securo
cholco tenants.
Tho important subject of the Coos
Bay harbor will bo takon up Friday
night and another big meeting Is
oxpectcd.
A TRUE WHALE STORY.
The following article was mailed
to Tho Times by somo old settler too
modest to sign his name, yet It is
fraught with such interest that the
writer may be excused, though it
would be well to know his name,
since tho article Is excelfent, and also
timely:
Editor Coos Bay TIme3: In your
Issue of 5th Inst, you reported a
whale being stranded near Ton Mile.
This reminds me of another such in
stance in the spring of I860, at a
time when Indians were plenty in
the country on tho reserve near Em
pire. George Camon at that time had a
store In this place, Julius Pohle, a
cousin of mine, was his bookkeeper
and salesman. To attend to business
George had gono to San Francisco
and to help my cousin I came there
for some flme. A short distance be
low Empire was tho village of the
Coos Bay Indians. Dally bucks and
squaws would come to tho store to
buy or barter articled. For a num
ber of days a change had come over
our rcdsklnned costumers, an uncom
mon activity prevailed. Canoes
crossed and recrossed the bay until
at last only a few of the oldest per
sons were left to take care of the
teepeos and the few effects not taken
away.
Their doings being shrouded In
somo mystery could not fall to raise
the curiosity of the white people.
The next day a number of us fol
lowed their trial which headed north
ward for some distance. At last we
found them encamped close to the
beach. In the surf lay the carcass of
a full grown whale, a harpoon still
fastened In its side.
No doubt weeks had passed since
tho monster had come ashore, for the
decomposition had much advanced,
filling the air with a most obnoxious
scent.
Both sexes had made themselves
ready for this slippery job as near to
nature, nothing seemed to disturb
.their feelings or humor.
"Moustache," the nickname of one
of tho braves, who had a few long
black hairs on his upper lip, of which
he was very proud, welcomed us
with his "How?" others meeting us
with "Clakwlan Lip?" and in a short
time were were mixed up with them
taking In the sight.
The young men with axe and knife
carved tho lubber, while tho squaws
were used as Instruments of trans
port. Small as their Btature was they
fairly doubled under the weight of
the chunks of blubber, other squaws
and children cut the larger pieces
into smaller lumps which now was
thrown upon a long scaffold, the bot
tom of which was made out of sheet
Iron, stove pipe or something like
this metal.
Under the highest and widest por
tion of this machine a bright fire
melted the oil of the fat, this flowing
down tho incline was gathered In
vessels of all shapes and forms, many
bags made out of the hides of slain
game was much preferred.
Pappooses did not delay tho labor
of their mothers, were lustily suck
ing on bits of blubber, and not to be
In tho way of tho busy wore fastened
to boards nnd leaned against the
banks or hung up under the shadow
of scrubby pine trees. Some of tho
big Indians fenfeted themselves by
filling their unshapely bodies with
onormous quantities of cracklings,
which delicacy they offered to us as
hlas close scooocum mockalnao, then
with oil besmeared and overfilled
with fat they lay down to slumber tho
sleop of tho happy, passing time In
sweetest reposo.
We returned satisfied with what

woman is until they have been mar
ried. "Divorce is one of tho greatest
blessings in the world today. It is
moral degradation ror a woman and
a man to live together as man and
wife after love has passed away.
For the woman I can imagine no
more terrible fate than to be fettered
to a man she has ceased to love.
Divorce Is a necsslty.
"The present condition of affairs
Is deplorable. Nine marriages out
of ten are unhappy. I do not wish
to give the impression that I am a
free-thinker, and I would not have
marriage abolished, but the system
as it now is is faulty.
"I think the responsibility for un
happy marriages lies mostly with tho
woman. If she did not feel she was
obliged to marry there would be less
unhappy marriages.
There is less excuse for the stage
woman to go astray than there is
for others who aro less Independent.
A woman's financial independence is
her greatest blessing. It will keep
many a woman from saying the fatal
'yes' when It should be 'no.'
"I want to warn girls against
proposals tainted with the smell of
whiskey. Such marriages are always
unhappy."

TALKS ON DIVORCE
Launches Remarkable Document on
Love, Matrimony and Semrntion
Advice for Girls.
Tom Richardson paid a splendid
tribute to the nowspapers in his ad
dress the other night, says a Eugene
paper. He declared them to be the
greatest factors in tho upbuilding
of a community, and asserted that
it had been proven in Portland and I
elsowhoro that newspapers were tho I
most effective of all advertising
mediums. Thus it Is that the busi
ness man who advertises not only
helps himself, but Is a public bene
factor in that ho also contributes
to tho making of better newspapers,
and they In turn advanco In every
way tho material interests of the
community. The non-advertiser can
never bo a real effective booster, for,
as Mr. Richardson said, the news
paper should be tho rollable and
completo directory of tho business
and professional intorests of tho
community in which It Is published,
it is published.
