A valuable piece of Jenereso, a rare wood grown in the Philippine Islands, has been found on the sands opposite Pony In let, according to a story from North Bend. The timber Is several feet long and a foot square and Is said to be worth ?400. The wood was secured by Messrs. Wernlch, Stanfleld, Gar diner and Oakley. How the wood came to be there is a mystery, as it Is too heavy to float, and mut have come from a wrecked ship. An Opera Pity A jolly party from Empire came to Marshfleld Sun day night for the opera.

More Pupils Present. About 20 new pupils put In an appearance at the public school yesterday on occa sion of Its opening after the holldavr. They were all of tho lower grades and prove that the population of Alarshfleld Is growing steadily. What It proves Is that more room is necs 3ary to accommodate the growing number of pupils In this city. Nearly all the lower grades arc . away bejond their capacity, and an agitation for more school room, like the situation in North Bend, is prob able In the near future. The same teachers have leturned to resume their duties at the local school since the close of tho holidays. Actilty in Ileal Estate During the past few days real estate Is be ginning to show signs of life after a rather quiet spell and preparations for numerous additions and tracts to be put on the market are in progress. Local real estate men are steadily en gineering small deals and ono firm disposed of about 35 lots a few days ago at South Harbor. There is no trouble disposing of real estate within a reasonable distance of the city providing that the figures aro within reason. Every stage and every boat continues to bring new people Into this territory, very few of whom fall to buy lots on which to construct homes, or ranches or go Into the dairying or fruit business. Want Atheletic Club. The young men of North Bend aro agitating the organization of an athletic associa tion and the erection of a club build ing with gymnasium, water tank, reading room and all the attractions of a club with which to help the young men to keep their bodies and minds in good condition. It Is pro posed to secure funds by popular subscription and chargo a member ship fee of $10 with twenty-fivo or fifty cents a month as dues to sustain fho cost of maintenance. Tho club .vould havo chargo of all athletic events participated In by tho mem bers and tho revenues therefrom to help tho current expenses. While nothing has been accomplished as yet much Interest Is being aroused in tho project. Celebrate With a Party About fifty friends of Cyrus Steckol of East Marshfleld gave him a surprlso party on Saturday night tho occasion of his thirty-second birthday. Tho party crossed the Inlot and had an enjoya ble evening. Don't Get Frightened Tho now fire whlstlo recently purchased for tho fire department will bo given a trial tomorrow night somowhero near six or seven o'clock. Tho Instrument of torture has been sot In position on the top of the electric light plant, and Its unearthly screaming will bo heard for miles. It Is ono of tho biggest siren whistles over brought to tho coast. It has an eight-Inch boll, six teen Inches long, and requires a two Inch steam plpo. Tho sound com mences low and rises to an awful scream, and then goes down again, Just as the lever Is worked up and down. Tho flro department will not respond to tho whistle, 'Want Mora School Room A peti tion has been signed by tho requisite number of freeholders in North Bqjid asking for the issuing df ?40,000 bonds for the construction of an addi tional school to provide for the grow ing population of that busy city. Tho present school building Is entire ly inadequate to accommodate tho laigc number of pupils and rooms in I private buildings are being used to. provide for the overflow. The school board held a meeting last week and tb... LiciK Will lbsuo notlco of an elec tion on the bond issue shortly. From the enthusiasm manifested in tho project there Is little doubt that tho election will provide for the construc tion of an extra school. The remark able part of scfhool conditions la North Bend is that only three years ago efforts were made to have tho. big school now In use reduced to a snfaller size. The most sanguine citi zens have been surprised by tho great growth of the city In such a short period. Much HtiildiiiK In City. During the past few days of fine weather the building operations which havo marked the city's progress during the past nine months have commenced again with renewed activity with tho commencement of the new year. Every effort Is being made to rush the work of construction on various business and residential buildings, and preparations are being made for tho construction of new homes In various parts of the city. It is rough ly estimated that the buildings erect ed in tho city during the year 1907 represent at a conservative estimate the sum of $600,000. Judging from tho wny work Is progressing at this time of the year, this amount will bo nearly doubled at the end of 190S. Everything points toward progress and prosperity In Marshfleld and tho outlook was never better than it is at present for both Marshfleld and North Bend, Including the smaller places on the bay and Inlets. Claims Theft of Logs. Joseph En dicott, brother of Moses Endlcott, tho known logger of the Middle Fork of l the river, was a, visitor in this city yesterday and states his belief that his brother's logs are being stolen by different parties and are then sold to tho sawmills at North Bend, His brother's registered brand Is the "K" brand, and Mr. Endlcott shj's he has traced about $150 woi'th of k this brand which have beenjsjrijlbtjg, the Simpson Interests at 'NSrtwfuafid by some parties claiming the brand as their own. As Mr. Endicott's brand Is registered, he does not believe that there Is another "K" brand in the county. If there Is he does not believe thero is any use pf having a resistored-brand-for logs... Jto moke 3ure that the county court has" not w'vCr' Issued two brands of tho kind 'to other parties In Coos County, Mr. Endlcott will go to Coqulllo to mako sure of this fact before bringing charges against tho mill company for tho prlco of tho logs, leaving tho company to secure satisfaction from tho parties who sold the purloined logs.
