The news of the undine of Blnger Hermann not guilty in the land cases was received yesterday by the Times In a private press message. When It was Imparted to local friends of Mr. Hermann there was in almost every case an expression of pleasure. Mr. Hermann waB well known here. His father was one of the first settlers in the Coqullle valley, and he had many friends in Coos county, most of whom believed In his Innocence. 'The ver dict quite generally was gratifying In this locality to Mr. Hermann's friends. WATERFRONT "DANGEROUS There are places on the docks of the Marshfleld waterfront which are exceedingly dangerous to persons who must frequent that quarter at night when landlDg or leaving on the boats. For exampie, at the foot of B street thero Is u. sign up that the dock is not safe, but this cannot be uqen at night and It Is plainly evi dent that this an unsafe place. All atong the .docks and near where the passenger boats land there are holes Where a person, not entirely ac quainted with the surroundings, could easily fall In the bay. Besides there are several holes offering con stant opportunity to break a leg. With the exceptions of one or two Bmnll lights and the dim Illu minated signs at the back doors of tho saloons no wnrnings nro given. At night the whole waterfront is a labyrinth of up and down, pitfalls and holes and a stranger takes his life In his hands when ho attempts to find a boat landing. Tho only wonder is that more people do not fall Into the bay. People should at least bo able to come and go In safety and some steps should bo taken to repair tho docks and provide a less risky landing place. ANOTHER INDUSTRY Another Industry in the agricul tural line which promises to be big is the culture of cranberries. Many of the farmers are becoming Interest ed and are planting for the crop. Ono rancher has proven the success of cranberry culture. He planted flvo acres and netted last year a prof it of 1,500 on the cranberries alone. A yearly Income of $300 Is good enough when tho best of tho land needed can be bought for half that amount. The climate and the kind of land needed is found, here and cranberry growing surely will be come a big money getter. The development of this industry simply goes to show that there are yot many big possibilities in the Coos Bay country of which wo know noth ing but will later learn. WANT THE FERRY The successfnl termination of the proposed plan to run a ferry between this city and East Marshfleld would please the people generally. Tho community on the east side of the bay is growing and the people who reside there need some means of getting back and forth regularly. This need will increase constantly as the C. A. Smith mill at Bay city will draw many pooplo to that side. That tho people want and need the ferry Is evidenced by the Interest which Is taken in the movement and the complaints of East Side, people because of the present facilities for crossing the bay. T.MI " I I !! JJUJ.L FISH WHILE YOU WAIT l Marshfleld has the distinction of supporting a restaurant where flsh can be caught, cooked and served without going outside of the place or even opening a window, at the Java Coffee House at the foot of B street on tho dock. "Texas" the waiter, the other day, opened the trap door In tho floor, dropped in a Ashing line and caught fifteen little perch in as many minutes and cooked them. Now there Is probably no other restaurant In the United States where anything of the kind can be done. If anybody can beat It ther will have to show us. "MAN EATER" E0UND DEAD WILL DEMONSTRATE.

Lady Will Call at Your Home nnd Bake Bread. The Sperry Flour company is In stituting an advertising campaign in this county which Is not only to bo a thorough one, but novel as well. The company has sent a lady demon strator to this locality, who is now In Marshfleld, and who will make a house to house canvaBS of the entire county, explaining the merits of the new brand, Sound Ring flour. She will not only tell the housewives about the flour, but will prove her statements by going Into tho kitchen nnd making bread of tho now flour, for all thoso who doubt the merits ot the same.

V-26-3t Denver, Colo., April 27. Tho body of Alfred Packer, known as the "man cater," whose death occurred last Wednesday in a cabin in Deer Creek canyon, was brought to Little ton today for Interment. Packer was an army scout and startod to guide a party of five men from Salt Lake City to New-Mexico In 1873. They became lost in tho mountains in snow six feet deep and Packer alone survived. The bodies of the other Ave were later found. Packer disappeared, but was captured in 1883, eonvlctcd of murdering his five companions and sentenced to forty years' imprisonment. He always declared his innocence of the murder. He claimed that dur ing his absence from camp one of his companions killed the other four and upon his return attempted to kill him with a hatchet, whereupon Packer shot tho man. Packer ad mitted that to keep fom perishing he ate the flesh of one of tho dead men. He was released on parole In 1904. He was Blxty-four years of age. FOR.

As It Is now thero aro many open sewers, mero pipes or wooden arrangements which empty Into open ditches. It Is held that tho sewnge Is carried away twice a day by tho tide and that tho salt water purifies everything. Tho fact that it is salt water does make a difference but It Is easy to bo con vinced that tho tide does not do all tho work expected of It. At tho south edge of tho city can be found ditches that aro absolute foul and tho odor iferous atmosphere leaves no mis tnko nbout tho tldo laying down on its task In theso particular places. Marshfleld is growing too rapidly and Is too largo a city to depend up on theso prlmative drainngo methods. If the sewer systems aro not properly installed where needed there Is sure to bo trouble later on. Tho matter qf sanitation is too vital to permit of erring in that direction. All tho public money that goes to build tho right kind of sowers will bo money saved, nnd ill health provented. GETS IN TOUCH Tho town of Gardiner has noted for being disconnected the rest of the world. There was heretofore no telephone, telegraph or wagon road out of the place and the only way to 'enter or leave was by means of n boat. A telephone line has now been established between Gardiner and Coos Bay. Gardiner Is a pretty town and could not afford to be isolated. Her connection by telephone Is Just another sign of the progressive movement of the community. f GASOLINE WILL GO UP Look out for another raise on the price of oil and gasoline. John D. Rockefeller has given another two million to the Chicago university, and Coos Bay must contribute her mite. These college donations are hard on those who run gasoline en gines and own gasoline launches. OREGON UNIVERSITY WINS DEBATE Guts Decision In Intcr-Collegiuto De bate With tho Utah Uni versity Team.

Tho water Is attributed as tho cnuso and it is blamed by tho stnto board of health that physicians hnve not been suf flently prompt in making reports of the conditions. Nothing Is moro Im portant than tho health of tho people of a community nnd ovory snfo guard should bo taken. In the district be tween Drain and Coos Bay there will bo for sovernl years many railroad construction camps which will alter tho former conditions and tho health of all the small communities should bo carefully watched. For that matter ovory town nnd city had ought to have tho water analyzed Salt Lake City, April 27.
