OIoos 1 DREDGE OREGON WILL COIE TO COOS BAY IN SIX WEEKS Such Is Information Given Out at Engineer's Office in ' Portland. ENGINEER TOWER IS TO BE IN CHARGE. Work on Inner Harbor to Be Done on $50,000 Ap propriation. (Special to The Times.) POUT LAND, Ore, July 25. The dredge Oregon will be returned to Coos Ha to s.art work improving the tnnor harbor channel within six weeks " two months, according to Information given Coos Day men who called ar ilio United States Engineers Office here. The Oregon is now at , Grnjs Harbor, but has the work there ' nearly done, and Major Morrow Is arranging to have it brought here anil in numbly repaired and then taken r foos Hay to-start work on the $-0 ooo appropriation made by the last Omgress for that purpose, j Major Mrroy Is arranging to liavo Englnec r Tower, son of Major Tower of Empire, transferred from San ! Francisco to Coos Ray to have super-, vision of the harbor work under the directum of Capt. Polhemus. Capt. J Polhemus will remain in Portland,' but will have general supervision of the harbor work there on account of j lls familiarity with it. ' Major Morrow expects to personal ly visit the Day within the next few months, probably about the time the Oregon will start work there to famil iarize himself with It as in the future he, iiibtead of Major Mclndoe, will be in charge of that project. According to the Engineers here, It will probably be eighteen months or two years before the Coos Bay bar dredge will be In operation there, unless the department decides to buy a dredge Instead of building a new one. The bar dredge will be similar in tjpe to the dredge Clatsop on the Columbia, only larger. It will have a steel hull and will have to be built on the eastern coast, unless It is de elded to buy a dredge for Coos Bay Instead of building one. j Major Morrow Is absent on a trip ' now and, in consequence, the Coos Bay men were unable to obtain exact Information as to the plans for the work there other than what could be volunteered by Lieut. Roberts, who! is in charge In Major Morrow's ab sence, and while Capt. Polhemus Is on a acatlon. However, they made! a number of suggestions and asked a I numbti oi questions which will be I answe.ed b letter when Major Mor row r. !'i;a. W a n mormtd that the sentiment on C' i..,j was that tho bar dredge J as .lively to provo of little valuo, I memoLt, of the engineering olllce pointed out that it was included in Project No. 1, which requires tho ex tension ot the jetties so that tho gov ernment u expense of testing it out will be comparatively small and tho onl) handicap, if it may be so teVmed, will be the delay in starting the jet-j lies as the bar dredge can be used as Intruded with the, engineer's plans 'or tho jetties. Lieu Roberts promised that ar rangements would be made at once to havo the snags taken out of Coos River nnd that channel Improved. The $3,000 appropriation made for that Purpose by Congress Is available and the government has an old boat at Coos Bay that can be used for remov ing the snags. The dredge Oregon will first cut down the worst shoals In the chan nel and then wjll start In and' cut tho eighteeii-foot chanuel from Marsh field to the bar. It Is estimated that the ccs- of operating the dredge Ore-K-n will be between $100 to $150 per day, so that tho present $50,000 ap propriatIcn wlu keep her b R long time. In this connection, Henry Seng tac'.cn has taken up with Congress man Hnwlev, who Is in Portland, a P m whereby the dredge Oregon will remain permanently on Coos Bay nencffcrth. Th nin i tn m,.

PIERRE, So. Dak., July 25. A cloud burst caused tho Cheyenne Klver to reach the Hood stage yester day. Three young women members of a picnic party were drowned. Miss Blanche Atwood, Miss Etta Aldrlch and Miss Sadie Trenor were fording ! iho river in a carriago when they, were swept to their death. lL.fi Many Prostrations Are Re ported and Suffering in Ten ement Districts Great. (Bv Associated Press.) NEW YORK, July 25. The In tense heat Is causing much suffering and five deaths and many prostrations in the past twenty-four hours have occurred. The city sweltered all night and the suffering In the tene ment districts especially was great. To-day the heat continued, but the humidity was not so great as yester day, but reports of prostrations from every section oi tne city uegan iu come In early. FOUND DEAD Mrs. Helen Richmond, Old Res ident of Coos River, Has Passed Away. i Mrs. Helen Richmond, mother of Mrs. Jennie Landrlth, died at her homo on North Coos River, early Sunday morning. For some time she had been suffering from paralysis. She probably died from heart failure, as she was found dead In her bed. Mrs. Richmond was born near Edln- borough, Scotland, seventy-two years ago. She came with her husband and settled on Coos River some thirty or forty years ago, Tho funeral will bo held at tho home of Mrs. Jennie Landrlth, North Coos River, on Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock. Rev. Frank R. Zugg will conduct the services. dredge. The Oregon will be good for fifteen years or more yet. Unless this arrangement is perfected, It Is doubt ful If the Oregon can be retained a: Coos Bay after the $50,000 Is ex pended. If it is, however, the Oregon cap be retained there permanently, and In case there Is no government funds to pay for her operations, the Port of Coos Bay can furnish the funds and tho government will con tinue her work. The cost of bringing tho Oregon back to Portland nnd repairing her will bo borne by tho appropriation made for Grays Harbor, but the cost of towing hor from Portland to Coos Bay will have to be borne by tho Coos Bay appropriation. This Information was volunteered in answer to quea tions by Coos Bay men, ,wha pointed out that Coos Bay the last time had to pay for taking the Oregon there, pay for bringing her back to Port land and then paying for the over hauling. Those who called on the engineers and took the matter up with them wero C. A. Smith, Win. Grimes, Henry Sengstacken, John D. Goss and Dan Maloney. W ; N ER BEO THINK HILL BACKING EUGENE LIN! Men From That City Believe Railroad Magnate Intends Extending Oregon Electric From Eugene to Coos Bay. (Special to The Times.) PORTLAND, July 25. That Hill is now planning to extend the Ore gon Electric from Eugene to Coos Bay is the belief of Eugene men who were in Portland last week to confer with President John -P. Stevens re garding the franchise for the Hill line in Eugene. The Lane County Asset Company held a franchise in Eugene over the route the Hill line wanted, and this was holding the matter up. At the conference, tho Lane County Asset Company agreed to turn over their rights on condition that the Hill line would grant them the privilege of using tho lino when the company wants it. This tho Hill line agreed to do. At tho conference, the Eugene men were given to understand that the electric Hue extensions would be pushed with great rapidity and that It was the expectation to have the line completed Into Eugene within eighteen months. President Stevens was out of the city all week on one of the many mysterious trips he Is making through Oregon. He travels under an a'tmpd name Incognito, generally Seeking Adjustment of Deals Grist of Other Coos Bay Gossip. (Special to The Times.) PORTLAND, July 25, Major L. D. Kinney Is in Portland trying to straighten out his deals with Kol- lcck and Waite and declares he will not leave until they are straightened out. Walte says there Is "nothing1 doing," so it seems that the Major will have to make an extended stay. Soniers In Rapid Transit. According to Information coming from Roseburg, J, H. Somers and his associates havo given out that they are now In a position to go ahead and take over the Rapid Transit Com pany and build a line to Roseburg. It is claimed that the assistant to the treasurer of the United States In San Francisco Is lucluded In their company. They are now negotiating with Frank Alley of Roseburg rela tive to the Roseburg-Coos Bay prl- ject. Former Coos Bayites. Jake Goldie returned this week from Oakland, where he was called several days ago by tho sudden death of his father. He and E. D. LaChance are still running a bar in the Lumber man's building. LaChance just re turned from a trip to Hlbbiug, Minn. Liuvlor in Politic. Had It not been that Fred Gettlns was In the field for "Water Commis sioner for the western district of Ore gon, "William Lawlor, formerly of Marshfleld, would havo entered 'the race. He and some of his Portland friends had tho matter framed up, but when It was found that the Coos county delegation was pledged to Getilns, Lawlor dropped out. Congressman Jlinvloy Coining. Congressman Hawley, while In Portland last week, announced that he wns planning to spend several days In Coos county within the next couple of months. He is planning to visit every point In the district In his campaign tour, but expec.s to spend more time in Coos county than ordi narily, as ho wishes to familiarize himself more thoroughly with the harbor and river needs of Coos Bay and the Coqullle, Will Replace Channel Buoys. The channel buoys on lower Coos River and In the Bay will be replaced and repaired in the near future. Henry Sengstacken took the matter up with Capt. Elllcott of the light house department, and he promised to havo It attended to at once. He expects to visit the Bay soon to look after It. Part of Coos River In need of channel buoys Is not now Included in the government project there, but Capt. Elllcott said that he would take Jc up with the office at Washington and felt sure that it would be allowed. ilAJ. KIIE! IS IN PORTLAND with an expert engineer and gathers what data he desires. In this con nection, Eugene men where surprised recently to find that Stevens a short time ago spent over a week In that vi cinity without anyone there knowing anything about it. Consequently they believe that he has or Is about to do the same In regard to the Coos Bay Eugene line, and has or will have all the data he wants about It. According to reports at Eugene, the Hill Interests have been endeavoring to buy one of the largest banks there nnd having failed, are preparing to start one there soon. In connection with the Hill opera tions, It Is claimed that some time ago, James J. Hill Informed associates that he planned to take advantage of the building of the Panama Canal by building electric lines inland- from all of the harbors on the upper coast. By this means, he plans to corner the distribution of much of the freight that will be brought through the canal to the Pacific C.st ns well ns gaining control of the short haul on the timber or coal that is likely to furnish mcl of the railway business In the North Pnnifle States for the next few years. There Is nothing new In the epila tions of the Lane County Asset Cc:.i pany. General Manager Kidder is now in Minneapolis. The Eugene men Identified with It seem to feel certain that It will go ahead in due time. AGIO RUNS INTO DITCH W. U. Douglas' Machine Turns Over and Mrs. Lee Brown Is Injured. Attorney W. U. Douglas had an ac cident with his automobile Sunday afternoon near Empire. The car turned on its side', the passengers were thrown out and Mrs. J. Lee Brown was quite badly bruised, but it is. thought not seriously hurt. Mr. Douglas's youngest daughter had her left hand lacerated. Those in the machine were Mr. and Mrs. Douglas, their four daugn -ters and their son, and Mrs. Brown. Mr. Douglas was running the ma chine himself. He says that the ac cident was duo partly to the fact that the road was In bad condition and probably partly due to his inexperi ence in handling the automobile. Just before reaching Empire there is a bad turn in the road. On the left hand side here Is an embank ment which Is probably six feet down from the road. Mr. Douglas says that the right wheels of the machine were In heavy sand, while the left wheels were on the hard road. Mr. Douglas was trying to get the machine out-ot t.he sand. Ho turned toward the left and with power on necessary to get the machlno out of tho sand. When tho machine got on hard ground It shot ahead suddenly and struck over to the other side of the road, where the wheels on the left side of tho machine sunk Into the sandy edge of the road. Mr. Douglas says that the weight of the machlno pushed down the sandy edge and that the car slid down with the sand and turned over on Its side against a stump. Tho passengers wero, of course, thrown out. Mrs. Brown struck on her side, but it is believed that she Is not Injured further than being bruised. The little daughter of Mr. Douglas struck her hand In some thing sharp, causing a flesh wounu Judge John S. Coko happened along In his auto soon after tho ac cident and brought tho ladles and children to Marshfleld. Mr. Douglas and his son righted, the machine and brought It back home on its own power.
