Vi field Score.

day all round. The big team defeat
ed North Bend and tho High School

Tho gamo on tho Marehfiold
grounds was something of a surprise,
as It was thought It would be rather
close at best. But Marshfleld ran up
29 points while North Bend failed
to score. There was a good attend
ance and tho crowd cheered gener
ously for each side. Upon seeing tho
teams on the gridiron there was evi
dence that the statement of weights
had been at fault, for tho Marshfleld
eleven plainly outweighed the North
Bend boys. It was estimated by
thoso who have seen football teams
and had experience In tho, game, that
Marshfleld averaged at least flvo
ponnds heavier, and perhaps eight, j
Tho North Bend captain sam
the I
weight given tho Times, 162, was ex-
act and that tho team came to that I
flgure. Ho thought, however, that
the Marshfleld players averaged 172.
But that is neither hero nor there;
tho gamo was won by Marshfleld, and
it was an exciting contest.

Tho Second Street Canal.
There is a dugout canal in Marsti
fleld which was formerly known as
Second street. Yesterday a Marsh
fleld woman had occasion to cross
tho canal, at tho Intersection on
which F. P. Norton and Mr. Woucott
live. As Bho approached tho morass,
she observed that there was no
means of passage except by a narrow,
slippery plank. It was a long ways
round, but after a short debate she
decided to risk tho danger. But she
made a mistake. Before she had ac
complished the crossing, she slipped
and fell into tho mud and ruined ?50
worth of clothing. That woman, if
she had an opportunity, would likely
voto for Mc-STRAW.
Will Enlarge.
Tho Sanitary meat market is com-
'plaining of not having room enough
for thelr-increaslng trade and will
proceed to enlarge.
Vote To Name City
At tho earnest request of many citizens tho Times has decided to extend
the time for tho final decision on tho vote to name tho greater city on
Coos Bay to and until the 10th day of December, 1907. The matter Is
one of too great Interest to be closed until every man, woman and school
child has expressed a preference. Among tho interesting cummunlca
tlons on the subject today is one from Mr. Wm. Saunders, who sent in a
vote some days ago for Cooslllaho. Among other things ho gives this inter
esting bit of Information: "I soo by the paper this morning you havo
spelled tho word "Cooslllaho" wrong; tho word Illahe Is an Indian word
and means 'home.1 residence or whore I live, and Is pronounced, il-la-he."

Why Coos? Why Emplro?
In 1853 a colony consisting of
twenty persons came by Indian trail
over the mountains to' 'Pacific waters.
Prominent in -this colony was P. B.
Marble, an itenerant (?) Methodist
preacher. In his readings of the
bible he learned that King Soloman
sent to Coos for tho precious metals
used In building the temple, and
Marble dubbed the bay, Coos. These
early pioneers impressed with the
coming greatness of the new country,
called the peninsula "Emplro."

Talk Is Cheap.
The Campaigner comes out with a
statement that Straw money is be
ing offered without any takers. Per
haps so, b.ut thus far there has been
none shown for stakes. The Smith
people have not been Informed of
there being any Straw money In cir
culation. Betting talk Is sometimes
mado in campaigns for the purpose
of influencing voters. If there Is
Straw money to bet, let the Cam
paigner say where It may bo found
and what the pile amounts to. It
will then he time to consider the
betting phaso of this campaign.
North Bend Heats Coqullle.
North Bend high school football
team won a close gamo at Coqullle
on Thanksgiving, tho score being 5
to 0. There was a good crowd out
to witness tho contest and tho boys
were treated nicely. They have
played faithfully this season and feel
that this game was a fitting score
on which to close tho season. It Is
barely posslblo that they will have
a return gamo with Coqullle at North
Bend but this was not decided upon.
Card of Thanks.
-Vo desire to have the kind
friends and the Swedish Lutheran
choir in particular, who assisted us
in our recent bereavement know that
their services wore greatly appre
ciated and that we shall ever hold
those kindnesses in our memory.

ALLIANCE BELIEVED
IN USUAL CONDITION
Reports were current on tho
streets of Marshfleld yesterday that
the Alliance had been disabled while
crossing the bar on Thanksgiving
day, and that she was In distress. L.
W. Shaw received word yesterday
from tho Life Saving station that the
vessel had some trouble while going
out, but that she made the bar and
stood out well into the ocean, dis
appearing in good shape towards tho
northward, and apparently In usual
condition. Mr. Shaw says there Is no
need for any worry since Captain
Olson Is known as one of tho best
skippers on tho Pacific and would
not leave port if there was the least
doubt of his ability to make his voy
age. She carried the following pas
sengers: M. L. Asher, A. H. Myers,
Mrs. Myers and child, Mrs. Moses, B.
F. Pyott and wife, Herbert Pyott, E.
Lewis, Charles Rednall, F. D. Lay
ton, JoTin Witt, and seven others.
Firo Was Soon Extinguished,
nfc firo alarm was turned in last
evening shortly boforo eight o'clock.
Tho ceiling in the homo of John
Nasburg took fire from a tllo flue
and was burning freely when dis
covered. The fire department re
sponded promptly, hut a few palls of
water had extinguished tho flames
before it could reach the Bcene.

MARSHFIELD HIGH 18
BANDON HIGH-.. 0
By AVlnnlng Over Bandon, Marshfleld
Cinches Supremacy for Season
of 1007.
Tho Marshfleld high school had an
easy game at Bandon on Thanks
giving and won by a score of 18 to
0. Tho Bandon team was some
lighter than the Marshfleld boys and
had less experience. The scores rep
resented three touchdowns, one goal
and a safety. Two of the touch
downs went to the credit of Wieder
on end runs and the other to Brlggs
by line bucks. Rasmussen kicked
one goal out of three. The team
played a consistent game throughout
and all the players acquitted them
selves creditably.
By winning this game, tho Marsh
fleld High can successfully claim the
high school championship of the
county, for they have met and de
feated two high school teams out of
three, and the other one was beaten
on Thanksgiving by North Bend,
whom Marshfleld had worsted three
times. The members of the eleven
and their supporters feel much
gratified at the success of the team
this season and slnco tho boys have
gone through tho season without de
feat, they have a very satisfactory
record. The Bandon game practic
ally closed the season, though there
Is some talk of Bandon's playing a
return game on Christmas. The trip
to Bandon Is an expensive affair
and the crowds that come out to see
high school football are not what
tvinv Hhnnid ho anvwhere in the
county. For this reason, the funds
of the team are about used up, and
the boys will necessarily have to be
Insured of a good crowd if they bring
Bandon over for a Christmas game.
The team will bo photographed this
week and It Is the Intention of a
representative of ono of the Portland
papers to forward a .write-up about
the eleven, to his paper.
Marshfleld's record for the season
Is C2 points, to their adversaries 4.
They have defeated North Bend three
times, the Independent team of
Marshfleld once, and Bandon once.
No Dramatics Tonight.
At the conclusion of the perform
ance of the Clay Baker last evening
at tho Masonic opera house, Mr.
Monc came before tho curtain ana
announced that there would bo no
performance this evening. Ho gave
as reasons, tho belief in his own
mind that the performance of last
night had not been pleasing to the
audience and that the company had
been working very hard and were
accordlnely fatiEued. and that
through courtesy to the Redmen who
were giving a masquo ball he
thought it best to postpone the next
performance to Monday night. But
Mr. Mong was mistaken as to the
audience's estimate of tho Clay Bak
er, as all that were seen after the
close were enthusiastic in its praise.
However, it is beyond dispute tho
company will play to larger houses
than over when they open up next
Monday.
Mining Su&peiided.
It was fortunate last evening that
the Nasburg firo was put out so
quickly, for there Is no telling when
the firo company might havo arrived
on the scene, since it would havo
been obiged to draw tho apparatus
through a foot of clay to reach tho
house. Tho clay Is ono of tho de
doslts found lately by tho Mc-STRAW
administration, but it was started
too late in tho season for finding
bottom.
Which would you prefer, a Mc-Laln-Straw
administration or a
Straw-McLaln administration? To
settle tho question to your own sat
isfaction, seo some of the cheap
lumber put into tho various plank
streets latoly built. After that you
would likely prefer neither.
A Now Delicatessen.
"Mothor's Delicatessen" is tho
suggestive name given to tho new

ors. They are from Portland. It is
their intention to havo everything

INSPECTOR INTERVIEWED
Tells of Service Along Pacific Coast
Stations Arc 250 Miles
Apart. '
Lieutenant T. D. Parker, U. S. N.
passed through Marshfleld on Thurs
day enrouie to Capo Blanco, whoro
ho goes for the purpose or Inspecting;
the Capo Blanco wireless station, re
cently turned over to tho government
as one of tho chain of wireless sta
tions connecting tho coast of Alaska
with that of southern California bj;
wireless telegraphy.
Lieut. Parker has lately been as
signed to the duty of inspecting tho
wireless stations on the Pacific coast,.
In the place of Capt. Gearing, who
who has been assigned to duty la
the Philippines. Tho Lieutenant
came here from Inspecting tho sta
tion at North Head, and arrived on
tho Alliance last Wednesday fore
noon. He had a very pleasant trip
down the coast and speaks highly of
his entertainment at the hands oC
tho Alliance officers.
In telling a reporter about tho
workings of the wireless stations on
the Pacific coast, Lieut. Parker
enumerated the stations that are now
in operation. These form a contin
uous chain from Sitka, Alaska, to
Pt. Loma, the southern station in
California, which is located near San
Diego. They como in succession as
follows: Sitka, North Head, Capo-
Blanco, Table Bluff, Farralono Is
lands, Mare Island, Pt. Arguelo, Pt.
Loma, making in all eight stations.
These stations are all for tho servico
of tho navy department, and aro pri
marily for use in war. They aro
employed, however, in tlmos of
peace, for tno convenience oi mo
navy in transmitting orders, for or
dinary commercial business and are
used to speak such ships which ply
tho coast as aro equipped with wire
less apparatus. The only ships ply
ing northward from San Francisco
which havo wireless equipment aro
tbo Governor and President, of tho
Pacific Coas. Steamship company.
Excepting tho great distance between
the North, Head and the Sitka sta
tions,, tho stations along tho coast
aro approximately but 250 miles
apart. It was believed when the sta
tlors were first planned that such a
distance was as great as could 'us
undertaken with tho hope of hDjjjg
the best of service, but tho u-ft.
says that such a belief 'aas UWJai
proven Incorrect, as m3Sagea ar0
often transmitted fro-jj North Head'
lo Pt. Loma without tho necessity oC
rolaylng. Tho station at tho Farralono Is-'
lands, says the Lieut., Is used as at
sort of central point for trans
mitting messages from tho north
ward and southward. Being about
centrally located between North
Head and Pt. Loma, this station la.
of added value to tho service. The
dlstanco from North Head to Pt
Loma Is about 1000 miles. A great
deal of business done by tho sta
tions passes through the Mara Island
station, it being the navy head
quarters. Every station from North
Head southward is connected with'
tho outside world, either by tele
graph or telephone servico, and this
makes It possiblo for them to
accept and transmit commercial busi
ness. Commercial business is ac
cepted only with tho understanding:
that It must await transmission un
til government buBlnesg is taken:
caro of.
Ltout. Parker was asked how far
the stations could transmit messages.
Ho cited an Instanco of ono mos
sago being sent a dlstanco of 1400
miles, and said Pt. Loma had.
taken up a message from a ship GOO
miles off tho Florida coast, which
wouldbe a dlstanco of noarly 3000
miles. The stations mentioned in
this article are all under tho super
vision of tha navy department. Tho
army has a number of stations on
tho Pacific coast, but they are mostly;
