THE DAILY COOS BAY TIMES, MARSHFIELD, OREGON, SATURDAY, JUNE 13, 1908. No. 291 mm PUN TO INCREASE BAR ANU Wm IMU 1NT5 Movement Launched to Secure More Money For Dredging - Work. IMPETUS GIVEN TO HORTICULTURE. Speakers at Chamber of Com merce Urge Cooperation In Development. In addition to reviving tho enthu siasm in the development of the Coos . Bay country hortlculturally, a move ment was launched at last evening's meeting of the Chamber of Com merce to make the Improvements of tho harbor and bar this year more extensive than was originally Intend ed. A. H. Carson of Grants Pass, a director of tho Oregon Board of Horticulture, and Dr. M. G. Pohl, fruit inspector for Coos county, spoke on horticulture and Peter Log gle of North Bend and Captain Ma genn of tho steamship Breakwater, discussed tho harbor and bar Im provement. I. S. Smith, vice-president of the Chamber of Commerco presided. Mr. Carson, who has been a resid ent of Oregon for thirty-four years, who is rated as one of tho leading authorities on fruit growing in the Pacific Northwest, and who has just completed his first tour of inspection of the Coos county orchards in com pany with Dr. Pohl, said that he had been greatly surprised by what he had witnessed. He said that ho had heard much of Coos Bay and Its pos sibilities, but that he had never real ized that a country could bo so well adapted to tho fruit business. The quality of the fruit and the quan tity that the lands would produce, he said, had no equal. Ho urged that everyone unite in helping develop the farms of Coos county and that every possible encouragement be lent to the farmers for they are and will prove more so the great factor of southwestern Oregon. Dr. Pohl's address was along the line that he has been talking for years, his boosting spirit enabling him to grasp the great possibilities but that the average person does not ee. Both, ho and Mr. Carson were swarmly applauded. Bar and Harbor. Mr. Loggie spoke of the necessity of North Bend and Marshflold busi ness men getting together at once and making tho improvement of tho bar and harbor as extensive and suc cessful as it should be. He thought that this might bo best promoted through the Chambers of Commerce of the two cities. He said that the dredge would bo hero In August to begin work on tho channel and he believed that steps should bo taken .it once to provide additional funds for its operation as the $25,000 gov ernment appropriation will not be sufficient to pay for the work that should be done now. He thought that part of the additional funds needed may be derived from the sale of tho dirt taken from the channel, which would be excellent for bring ing property to grade. Business men and property owners should also subscribe liberally to the fund until additional government appropriations can be obtained. He urged mat a careful record of the freight shipped in and out of Coos Bay each year be kept in order that the figures may be used in impressing upon government officials the necessity of improving Coos Bay. Captain Magenn delivered one of the noted harbor booster addresses for which he Is noted. He said that the dredging of the bar and channel was all right so far as it goes, but that he was confident that the per manent Improvement of the bar could not be effected until tho south Jetty is constructed. Ho said that the people here should unite at once upon a campaign to have the govern ment make an appropriation for tho building of this jetty. PIANO STUDIO of Louis H.

At tho "Gunnery" T AS Marshfield May Elect One Member of School Board Monday. Unless something unexpected In terferes, an effort will probably be made at the annual school election in Marshfield Monday evening, to elect a woman director in place of W. B. Curtis who refuses to serve another term. As yet, the ladies who are backing the movement to have at least one member of the school board a woman, have not decided who their candidate shall be. A number of leading business in Marshfield today expressed their ap proval of the ladies desire for repre sentation on the school board provid ing the right woman is selected. While it will be decidedly a new de parture, the ladies point out that wo men in the larger cities have made the most efficient school directors, having more time to give to tho work and being a little closer to school work than men generally. In addition to electing a director, a clerk will be chosen at the election which will be held at the school house Monday evening at 8 o'clock. John F. Hall, the present Incumbent and who has been very efficient; will probably be reelected without opposi tion. Vote on Bonds Again. Owing to a technical error In the calling of the special election a few months ago to vote a $50,000 bond issue to erect a new school house and otherwise improve tho local schools, the election will have to be held over. It seems that when tho election was called, President J. W. Bennett was out of the city and Directors McCor- mac and Curtis, knowing that Mr. Bennett favored it, called tho elec tion. The state law provides that all of the members must be present at the meeting which calls special elections and in consequence the election has to be held over again in order that the bonds may be dis posed of. The full board has Issued the call for the special election to be held at the school house Thurs day afternoon. It Is expected that bonds will be voted by as largo ma jority as they were before, about twenty to one, owing to everyone realizing the necessity1 6f.havlng ad ditional room to accommodate the Increasing number of pupils and also to afford a course of Instruction that will bo adequate to a city of the size of Marshfield.

OFFICIALS IN IDAHO OUSTED BABES NEARLY BURNED ALIVE IS PARDONED In on Governor Willson who for sev eral weeks, has been considering his decision. WILLSON'S STATEMENT. Governor Willson Issued a state ment of the reasons for pardoning Powers and Howard. Ho says that he reviewed the case thoroughly, the horror of the Goebel crime and Its consequences. He says that the peti tions for the pnrdons were signed by hundreds of thousands of persons in eluding two hundred and forty thou sand Kentuckians of whom a largo proportion are Democrats. "I have given the case the most careful, con scientious and thorough investiga tion, and realized that whatever my decision might be, it would bo harsh ly criticized." that ho will not accept the vice-president nomination under any circum stances and that his position in re gard to the presidency is unchanged in that the delegates are responsible to their constituents and not to him and has had the effect to focusing particular attention upon the New York delegation. There are leaders of tho party who believe that the vice-presidency should go to some eastern state and New York Is regarded as debatable ground. It is believed that the dele gation from that state can wield considerable influence in the choice for second place. So far, however, the delegation is instructed only to tho present name of Hughes for the presidency and to vote for him when the balloting begins. The conven tion will be called to order by Na tional Chairman New at noon Tues day. Maniac Kills Husband, Six Children and Herself at Cadillac, Mich. (By Associated Press.) CADILLAC, Mich June 13.
