The wind carried blazing shingles and red hot cinders in showers to my building, where they simmered on tho Malthoid Roofing and went out, doing no damage beyond a number of small blisters raised on the surface of the roofing.

Bennett of the Coos Bay News hns been apprised of tho death of Amos L. Haring, a pioneer of Coos Bay who was mate on tho old tug Fearless with Capt. Jim Hill in the early 70's, at his home on the Siuslaw on February 25th, aged 04 years and 10 months. Concerning him, Mr. Bennett says: " 'Jersey,' as he was familiar ly known on tho bay, was born in New Jersey, and came to tho Pacific coast In 1SC9. He was married In 1874 to Miss Clara Gamble, of Ken tuck Slough, and In 1878 ho settled on a homestead In tho Siuslaw coun try, whero ho moved his family tho following year. He leaves his wife, two sons and five daughters, besides o large circle of friends who regret his decease. Mr. Haring served as a faiirfman on one of the vessels of the U. S. Navy during the civil war, .i,d witnessed the famous battle be tween the Monitor and Morrimac iu L'ampton Roads." OREGON FARMERS DIG UP $2,000 IN POTATO PATCH PORTLAND, Ore., March 0. Richard Cornett. of Milwaukee, un- earthed a treasure trove in his po tato patch that is reminiscent of Captain KIdd and his burled doub loons of ruddy gold. A rusted tin box, packed tightly with gold dust and nuggets, was turned up by his spade. The box weighed about 10 pounds. Its contents are said to bo worth about $2,000. The box was found Just 22 feet from the end of an old rotted log. To mark tho spot whero tho treas ure was hidden, 22 spikes had been driven in tho log. Tho row of spikes pointed to tho place whore tho box of gold had been burled. Old residents of Mllwauklo say tho gold was undoubtedly hidden thero by an old Australian miner who lived on tho spot 30 years ago. He died without telling tho location of the gold. Tho finding of tho box of treasuro followed closely tho birth of a son to the wife of Mr. Cornetti tho lucky finder of tho burled Australian gold. NOTICE.

Walter Lyon while at Washington working to secure fed eral aid for improving the harbor secured a copy of it and sent ex cerpts to Marshfield which Indicated that Mr. Holablrd was highly favor able to tho construction of the line. Evidently there were some details In tho report not .Indicated by the ex cerpts, probably Intimating that tho tonnage In sight, according to the estimate he was able to secure, was not sufficient to make tho line pay at the start. Another Is the statement that tho guarantee must bo in such shape that any deficit could bo paid promptly at the end of the year. There Is no legal means of making such a guarantee. It cannot be rais ed by either a tax or a bond and If such a guarantee. It cannot be raised by either a tax or a bond and If mado must bo by personal contribution or personal notes. This would prob ably fall on a few Jn a community and would not be fair to them. This understanding of the guarantee dif fers from tho understanding tho members of tho Marshfield commit tee who saw Mr. Harriman last fall have. They understood him to stato specifically that he must bo shown there was sufficient business to raako tho lino pay or rather pay tho amounts ho now wishes guaranteed In cash. There Is also some question as to. tho amount guaranteed. First It was estimated that the cost of construct ing tho line would be $3,000,000, but lately this estimate has been In creased somewhat. That Mr. Harriman should havo started tho Drain-Coos Bay line sev eral years ago when there was not near tho population in this section that there is today or not near tho business originating hero that thero Is now and then began the work without asking a guarantee from any source and now, when there has been a big development meanwhllo, that he should suddenly decide some one has to guarantee the finan cial success of tho road seems pecu liar to ninny. Many who Invested at various points on the expectancy of his building in here, and haying tho guarantee that tho starting of a big piece of work gives, aro inclined to grow irato over tho strange develop ments In tho situation. The telegram to which Mr. Har riman roplled was from the Marsh field and North Bend Chamber of Commerce and was as follows: "E. H. Harriman, Hot Wells, San Antonio, Texas. Chambers of Com merce of Marshfield and North Bend request specification of manner and form of guarantee Indicated by wire to Governor Chamberlain February twenty-third, by you to Insure con struction of Drain extonslon to Coos Bay without delay. As to tho prop osition ofshowlng an earning of four per cent on cost 'of construction, wo understand from press dispatcher that Col. Holablrd reported favorably on same after investigation at your instance relative to probable tonnage lnn(I g0ncraj conditions. What fur- ther Is required? Kindly wire so tho Coos Bay Chambers may act. Signed, J. T. McCormac and W. P. EvanB, presidents." Tho telegram to Governor Cham berlain roferred to was as follows: "Hot Wells, San Antonio, Tex., February 23, 1909. Hon. Georgo E. Chamberlain, Salem, Ore.: No need for a witness. Investigations all completed. Construction already au thorized. Matter In hands of local officers. Is there anything pise I can do? "I told tho delegation from Coos Bay that I would recommend con struction of road to that point If they could satisfy us that It would eanr 1 per cont on cost or havo that amount guaranteed each year for a term of years. This still holds good to you or them. "E. II. HARRIMAN." AT THE HOTELS. Tho Chandler A. M. Muller, R. B. Rowan, G. W. Cash, R. E. Stoln, D. II. Borry, J. C. Marshall, Port land; p, D.
