RATE WAR IS THE LATEST Major Kinney Will Compete With 0'Kelly's Boat Lines With Hacks. The conflict started between Major L. D. Kinney and Capt. J. A. O'Kelly last evening when they clashed over the street car franchise in North Bend assumed a new phase today when Major Kinney announced that he would establish a hack lino be tween North Bend and Marshfleld and reduce the fare between the two citlqs to five cents. While it was not so announced, it is understood generally that Major Kinney's rate war is to "even up" with Capt. O'Kelly for what ho terms the latter's attempt to block his street car franchise. The O'Kelly boat lines now main tain a fifteen cent fare between the two cities but it is expected that Ma jor Kinney's five-cent hack lino will force them to reduce. Major Kinney says that he will supplant tho hacks with an automobile in a few days. Asks Franchise in North Bend ' And Incurs Wrath of Major Kinney.

O'Kelley last night shied his castor into tho Coos Bay street railway franchise ring by ask ing the North Bend city council for an electrict carline franchise over numerous streets. His application stirred up things as it was presented after Major L. D. Kinney's franchiso had passed tho second rending and: lesulted in Major Kinney charging O'Kelley with trying to prevent him getting a franchise. It also resulted in Major Kinney charging Capt. O'Kelley with trying to framo up a deal to prevent J. M. Blake securing a street car franchiso in North Bend. Charges and counter charges fol lowed as Capt. O'Kelley and Major Kinney warmed up to tho subject. Major Kinney said that ho expected that the revolations ho was making about Capt. O'Kelly trying to block the Blako franchiso would result in. a suit for slander. However, ho said that he was going to lay tho whole ntatter before the North Bond council and let them decide whether or not O'Kelly could block his (Kin ney's) franchiso. Ho snld that when O'Kelly was in San Frnncisco trying to cntch Astro who had fleeced O' Kelly on -the lost daughter stuut, O'Kelly had written to him asking him (Kinney) to block the Blako street car franchise so that O'KolIy'a boat lines would not bo put out of business by a street car lino. Ho said he had this lettor yet and would show It to tho city council at tho next meeting. O'Kelly denied hav ing written any such letter and, de clared that his application was mado in good faith and that ho had tho backing to' build tho line. O'Kolly's application for a fran chise was presented by W. U. Doug las of Marshfleld. It specified that ho was to charge only Hvo cent faro for transportation in ono .direction in North Bend and contained tho usual franchise provisions. In ad dition to those, ono provision provid ed a penalty for tho uso of vllo or abusive language on cars or towarda Its abstract books and most of the other fixtures out with very little damage. Tho bank's property asido from tho building was not damaged much. The bank's new building which is immediately adjacent to the old one is nearly ready for occupancy and lt will be hastened now to permit oc cupancy as the bank will be handi capped for awhile.
