BOYS ESCAPE plenty to busy tbemselves with at Coos Bay. About three weeks ago a tremen dous run of pllcher started into Coos Bay. They first invaded South inlet and died by millions in that waterway. Now they have proceeded up the bay and are gathering: in huge quantities at North Bend and farther southward. The run seems to be taking on the propor tions of a similar one which took place some years hko when all the inlets and parts of the bay were strewn with the dead fish. As before, the run of these fish has attracted whales to the offlns of the harbor and almost any day thresher whales can be seen near the bar. where it is said they feed on the millions of fish coming into the freeh water. Ed ward Lund, a fisherman, saw three whales at one time a few days ago, within a mile of the Cape Arago lighthouse.

Captain Thomas Nystrom, master of the Ravalli, was almost suffocated while fighting the flames, passengers asserted. Although the officers and crew made a heroic fight. It was said, the boat waa a total loss and later went to the bottom in 10 fathoms of water. s Spontaneous combustion in the coal cargo caused the fire. When the blaze was discovered the Ravalli was rushed to a wharf at a British Columbia port and all the passengers and crew land ed safely. Soon after, while the ves sel was being beached, the forward hatch was blown off and the boat be came a mans of flames. Numerous wireles calls for help were sent out, but according to the opera tor, no answers were received on ac count of the great height of the moun tains surrounding the inlet where the boat burned. The Ravalli was carrying white and Chinese fisheries workers north to the Alaska canneries. Twenty-five Young Men's Christian Association boys bound from an American port to Alaska also were aboard.

The. twenty-fifth anniversary of the founding of Oregon yearly meeting of the Friends Church (Quakers) is be ing celebrated today.

I'retlow, of Seattle, clerk of the five years' meeting of Friends in America, on "The Place of the Yearly Meeting in the Quaker Polity," and by Dr. Charles K. Tebbetts, honorary nead of the American Friends' board of for eign missions, on "The Church of the Future." The department of evangelism and church extension presented its annual report, through Homer L. Cox, of Port land. In only one year since the first year of the yearly meeting has there been a larger increase in the member ship on confession of faith. Following the reports, interesting ad dresses were made by Dr. Charles E. Tebbetts and by J. Sanger Fox, of Port land, who has been serving as field sec retary for the past month. At the close of the afternoon meeting an offering of about $800 for this work was taken up. Peace and arbitration were the sub jects considered at the morning meet ing yesterday. The report was pre sented by Professor F. W. Perisho, who made an able address, as did Dr. Teb betts and Paul J. Furnas. The evangelistic meetings in connec tion with the annual gathering are be ing well attended. meet the Government's requirements.

All delinquents will be served notices and warnings within the next few days and upon anyone who has not paid his tax by June 25 the penalties provided in the law as passed by Congress will be exacted. The sum collected will run far into the millions The machinery of the Oregon col lecting office in the Custom-House at Portland has run along without a hitch throughout the campaign and everyone who was connected with the work here deserves special credit for the excellent way in which it was car ried out. All money turned in. eitherby mail or at the window, was transferred to the cashier, who in turn deposited it with the Federal Reserve Banks to the credit of the United States Government. The exact figures as to the amounts re ceived here by the Government from the income tax will be made public seme time during the next two weeks. commendably and all were anxious toldidates were: Mrs. J.

Yesterday the Civic League discus- ion following the weekly luncheon at the college room of th Washington street Hazelwood was devoted to presentation of the claims of the Na- I onal party to recognition by Dr. Paul H. Douglas, who made an exhaustive statement of its purposes. In the or ganization to be grounded upon the platform revised and constitution adopted in March, the speaker ex pressed his conviction that a political party that will become-, a facto- in American politics will be created. He in terpreted its programme by saying that None ned have cake, all shall ha' bread." William Brewster, in answering the arguments for the National party ad vanced by its advocate, reviewed brief ly the articles of fts platform and de clared that practicably all of the plarks vere in the same catogory as not be ing matters -of such character as to form the basis for a i-olitical paiiy. In reply to the opposition Professor Douglas credited the reforms that have been made In American politics to the obscure third parties that have risen from time to time. Acting as incuba te rs to hatch ideas appropriated by the older parties had been their func tions, he sand, and the National party has an important work to do, in his opinion, if it serves no ether purpose than to hatch ideas of international democracy. 2069; G.

The vote was not as large as was ex pected, although- it slightly exceeded District Clerk Thomas' estimate of 6000. " The decisive victory of the suc cessful candidates, Mr. Orton and Mr. Thomas, can be attributed chiefly to the activity of the labor unions. Or ganized labor not only Indorsed the candidacies of these gentlemen, but they labored effectively to get their vote to the polls. They were also ac tively supported by an element of voters that was unfrieadly to City Su perintendent AJderman. Women Predominate on Boards. As was the case in the recent pri mary nominating election, women pre dominated on the various election boards yesterday, due to the scarcity of men. The election passed quietly! during the afternoon, the heaviest votfng. especially in the outlying pre cincts, taking place between 6 and 8 o'clock. No reports of alleged viola tions of the corrupt practices act. as that statute is applicable . to school elections, were reported to District Clerk Thomas. The vote cast yesterday will be offi cially canvassed in the office of Dis trict Clerk Thomas "at the Courthouse at 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. At that time, if the directors-elect are present, the Board of Education will organize for tire ensuing year. The newly-elected directors will be sworn in and Dr. J. Francis Drake, ' senior member of the board, will automatical ly become chairman, succeeding Dr. Alan Welch Smith, the retiring chair man.' .
