Daily Edition mm EYES OPENED BY TRIP T CAPITAL (Times Special Service) Salem, Ore., May 22. Although, as he claims, advise was received from the "best lawyer in Coos connty, whom we", are going lo elect district attorney of that dis trict at the next election," J. Quick, a Coos county citizen, had to drive all the way from Coquillo to Salem to receive information that the initiative and referendum act of last year contained an emergency clause and that it is in full force and effect. Incidentally ho learned that his big roll of peti tions for a referendum of the acts increasing the salaries of the treasurer, school superintendent, and clerk of Coos county which had been prepared under the old act and been repealed were not worth the paper upon which the signatures were subscribed and that all his work and 'rouble in connection with it had been for naught. When Quick, who had been attending a baptiat confer ence at some point in the valley, arrived this morning and present ed the petitions to the secretary of Btate for filing, a look of exultation shown on his face which was plain ly evident. It quickly gave place to a lock of pain and disappoint ment when ho learned the peti tions were invalid and that, in stead of having secured the signa tures 5 percent of the voting popu lation of the state petttions only bore 200 names, or the same pro portion of the voters of Coos coun ty and instead of being verified by the circulators of the petitions, as the new law rcqtrres, the signa tures were attested only by the county clork. Mr. Quick is 71 years old and a socialist political ly, and very much chagrined over the failure of his effort to refer the measures which he contended the tax-paying public were opposed to and stated that the expense get ting up the petitions, exclusive the cost of the journey to Salem amounted to $50. After a long consultation with the utlorriey general Crawford, during which he was set right regarding the opera tions of the new law and after taking notes upon the details of how the initiative can be invoked upon the acts of tho legislature, he departed from the state house a sadder but wiser man. He would not say whether or not the intention of invoking the initia tive upon tho acts. Ho did not disclose the name of the "learned" attorney from whom he secured advice upon petitions. G. A. R.

Free Room Directory Tho Times desires to stato that anyone wishing to ob tain rooms call at its office any day during tho week. Quite a number of desir able rooms have beon listed and wo will be very glad to direct all inquriers. Those having rooms .to rent will please list them at tho Times Office CTY L UlLSJjTAIH Substantial Impairs Will Be Mede To Expedite Handling of Apparatus PUSH TELEPHONE WORK Life Savers Will Soon llnvc Service Across The Day to Empire. Captain Nelson of tho United States Life Saving station located on the lower bay will soon havo a large forco of men engaged In mak ing extensive Improvements at tbe station. The boat house Is to be re moved from Its present location to a point about 50 yards nearer the ;ater, where It will be placed on a goad tihj foundation several feet above high tide water. This change Is made necessary on account of the fact that and blows over the" present track leading from the boat house to tho water, making It exceedlndly hard to launch it. In addition to the change mentioned the dwelling occur- pled by the captlan and his crew, is to be raised on a new foundation and pnt in good order. This work would have commenced some time ago but for tho fact -that the gov ernment has not yet sent its repre sentative here to oversee it. The station Is soon to be connect ed with the outside world by a tel ephone line, tho supplies for which have been on the ground for sev eral weeks with the exception of the poles. It will require about 150 poles to run the line from the sta tion to Empire and to renew all tho poles for the line now In use be tween the bar lockout and tho stat ion. These poles have been con tracted for some time but there has beon some difficulty about filling the order. Captain Nelson Is auxloun that the workbe completed in a short time and is doing all in his power to get poles by reletting tho contract, dividing it among soveral parties in hopes that at least a part of It will be filled. The telephone line will run along the beach north of the station to a point directly opposite Empire City from which place a large cable carry ing the wires will be laid accross the bay. This line Is to be connected with Captain Mageo's residence of Empire but for the present time will not be connected with tho Pacific States telephone company line. The government In Installing a tel ephone line for theuse of Its life saving crews will stand the expense of a line from tho station to the captain of the tug, but will not In cur tho additional expense of out side connections. This makes It nec essary for the telephone company to stand tho expense of connctlng tho line with theirs. This may be accom plished shortly after the lino Is put across the bay. Nothing definite In regard to this known by Captain Nelson. Following all the changes and reparilng to bo done at tho station every thing will be painted in first class shape making the now well kept buildings and equipment ihow up in first class style.
