DOG TESTS
PRESSURE OF
FIRE ENGINE
Marshfleld's Are department prac
ticed last night. The steamer was
run out of the engine house and to
the front of Hank Well's restaurant,
the Java Coffee House, where con
nection was made with deep water.
The hose was then taken up the
street even with the Central Hotel,
where the water pressure was tested.
A stream of wates- was played that
reached almost to the corner of
Broadway.
Nobody had the courage to get In
direct connection with the stream ex
cept one dog that strolled along
from the direction of the P. K.
Saloon. He apparently Intended to
bite off a piece of the water as It
left the nozzle. He changed his
mind suddenly, owing to the fact
that the stream was diverted In his
direction. Immediately on the water
coming In contact with his anatomy
he decided to go In the same direc
tion with the stream which he did
for about forty feet. At that dis
tance he regained his natural poise
and started down Front street north
in an efort to clip three minutes off
the world's automobile speed record
for one mile.
Nobody go't the time on him. He
will probably stop for breakfast In
Portland this morning If the bar Is
not too rough.

NATURE CULTURE
AROUND COOS BAY
We Would Be Glad to Hear What
You Have In Your Yard
or Garden
BEAUTIFUL CACTUS.
S. B. Cathcart has presented The
Times Office with a beautiful speci
men of cactus In full bloom. The
plant has a stock fully two feet in
length and the flower Itself is over
four Inches In diameter. The cactus
blooms once a year, and it is seldom
that the buds attain the color and
size of the one grown by Mr. Cath
cart. In the garden where the cac
tus was grown are many other beau
tiful specimens of flower life, not
least of which are some elegant
roses.
EARLY GOOSEBERRIES.
J. F. Hall, of Marshfield, went out
In his garden yesterday and picked a
bucketful of gooseberries, which were
later transposed into a pie. The
berries were large and very luscious.
The gooseberry season does not gen
erally open on the Bay until about
the second week in June, and Mr.
Hall's berries are ripening slightly
in advance.
FLOWERS BLOOMING.
A great many people, especially
visitors to the Bay, are heard to ex
press themselves forcibly these days
on the variety and great beauty of
the vines and flowers that are en
twined in and out of the trellis work
on the verandas of the houses on
Coos Bay. One can "run and read"
why these remarks are called forth,
for about every yard and residence
around the Bay is almost hidden now
under a mass of clinging green bur
dened down with flowers of every
variety and color.
Fred. W. Schaefer, a piano tuntr
of 20 years' experience, has decided
to remain In Marshfield for a few
days. Mr. Schaefer comes highly
recommended from the largest piano
house of San Francisco, and word
left at P. O. Box 249 Marshfield will
receive prompt attention. All work
guaranteed.
