C. A. Smith: "Contiguous
to Coos Bay there Is five times
as much timber as the Minne
apolis mills have manufactured
In tho past DO years. In Min
neapolis logs aro rafted 275
miles; Coos Bay has logs
enough in a radius of 75 miles
to run at the rate tho mills
have been cutting there, for
250 years. Coos Bay has the
only harbor In the United
States with a contiguous coal
deposit. Within five years Coos
Bay will have two additional
transcontinental Hues besides
tho Southern Pacific."
Mr. Headwell: "I am ready
to hear any proposition Marsh-
field people may make regard-
lng the construction of a hotel,"
William Grimes: "When thaj
harbor Is dredged the railroads
will come. I am hero to stay

The meeting held last night in the
Chamber of Commerce's new room
on 'Front street was most enthusi
astic and tho attendance was larger
than that of any similar meeting in
the history of, the organization. Tho
notice that C. A. Smith, tho million
aire lumberman, who has invested so
much money here, and has made
such extensive and permanent im
provements, was to make an address,
called out a largo percentage of the
throng. It Is natural for tho inhab
itants of this country to believe that
whatover Mr. Smith interests him
self In, is very likely to become a
reality, and people wero present to
second by act and deed whatever
Mr. Smith suggested.
Mnny Strangers Present.
When Dr. McCormac, president of
the Chamber of Commerce, called
the meeting to order shortly after
eight o'clock, tho hall was filled to
overflowing and tho attendance was
noticably the representative men of
Marshfield, (though thero was a very
largo sprinkling of strangers from
tho east to learn what is doing In
tho Coos Bay country and whnt thero
is to induce men of means to come

velopment. Purposes of Meeting.
Dr. McCormac- started the enthus
iasm in a short and poinded speech.
Ho opened by stating tha purpose of
tho meeting, or rather the purposes.
These were in part: dedicating the
new Chamber of Commerce room;,
listonlng to addresses by men who
are to help In pushing the country;
to learn what is being done with the
handsomo advertising fund lately
collected and subscribed at tho so
liclattlon of Thomas Richardson. In
stating what disposition is being
made of tills fund, Dr McCormac
said that 10,000 pamphlets aro in
preparation by A. E. Guyton, and
that tho only restriction placed on
Mr. Guyton in connection with the
work was that he should toll only
tho truth.
Need Concerted Acton.
The Chamber has been in cor

Messrs. Rogers and Bowman made
a trip up Isthmus Inlet on Monday
to inspect the Utter brick yard and
figure with the proprietor for brick
with which to construct the Coos

An accident some time ago put
tho plant out of commission, and
work was delayed for several weeks.
However, the plant Is operating now
and fire will be put Into a kiln con
taining 75,000 brick some time this

Vreniya today expresses delight at
the state of relations between Japan

address tho assembly later n tho
evening. Before introducing the first
speaker, C. A. Smith, the president
stated that , what "was most needed
at tho present tlmo and had always
been absent, was concerted action
by all tho citizens of the Coos Ba
country. "A reasonable amount of
effort and money with this concen
tration prevailing, would make a
new and up-to-date city of Marsh
field In a very short time," ho added.
C. A. Smith Talks.
In Introducing Mr. Smith, the
president stated that the coming of
the lumber king to Coos Bay menus
moro than two or three railroads,
and he assured tho assemblage that
the balance of trade has always
been In tavor of Coos Bay; nhvt more
tonnage has been shipped from hero
than was ever brought in. This is
easily substantiated when the great
cargos of lumber and tho thousands
of tons of coal, the salmon, hides,
farm products and other resources
are considered.
A Coos liny Enthusiast.
Mr. Smith stated in opening that
he was not informed ho was to make
an address until six o'clock last
evening, but nevertheless, he dem
onstrated that ho is a man who if.
always loaded when it comes to
talking Coos Bay, Peopio in tho
east a year or two ago were not
awaro thero was such a pjaco as
Coos Bay. But very latoly ho was
told by a man who had toured the
entire east that Coos Bay was loom
ing up In tho advertising and mak
ing a record that everybody was con
versant with.
Coos Ray's Riches,
Ho made the statement that there
Is contiguous and within a distance
of Coos Bay, five times as much tim
ber as tho mills of Minneapolis have
manufactured In the nast 50 years.
This, he allowed, was a big state-'
ment, but statistics prove It to be

Force of Men Will
Be Had.
Chicago, July 9. Labor Com
missioner Neill and three members of
he executive board of the Commer
cial Telegraphers' Union left here
for San Francisco tonight. Special
advices from the coast are said to be
the cause for this action. General
Secretary Russell will remain In Chi
cago to uso his best efforts to pre
vent the local union from commit
ting any act that might be consid
ered hostile.
"It Is agreed between the com
panies and union officials," he said

Sim Francisco Meeting.
San Francisco, July 9. At a se
cret meeting of the telegraphers In
Oakland yesterday dispatches from
the East to President Small were
read and the operators regarded
them as favorable to their cause. It
is reported that they had to deal
with Eastern support to tho strike.
Manager O'Brien of the Western
Union stated that his company had
all its branch offices rumling and
that owing to the adjournment of
Stock Exchanges and closing of
business houses the messages had
fallen off to such an extent that lit
tle difficulty was met in handling the
business. Next week both compa
nies expect to have a full comple
ment of operators and to bo able to
take care of a normal amount of
business.
Correspondence has passed be
tween W. W. Allen, Sr., an attorney
of Oakland, and I. N. Miller, Jr.,
general superintendent of the West
ern Union, relative to' a settlement
of tho strike. Miller refused to con
fer with a committee of tho strikers,
whereupon Allon wrote, extolling the
merits of tho operators, dilating upon
their hardships and deprecating the
meagorness of their wages, closing
with an appeal fpr a moro favorable
reply. V
Miller's reply did justice to the
good qualities of most of tho oper
ators, and ho said he believed that
many of the men had struck agalnBt
their will and fjft-o only kept from
applying for employment by intimi
dation. He expressed a willingness
to confer with them individually at
any tlmo, Allon ,then wrote asking
Miller to meet a committee of the
employes, to which his lotter re
ferred. Thore was no reply, nnd the
correspondence came to a close with
out producing any result.

pany, forcing the express companies

prohibition laws. The distilling
company urged that tho express
companies had no legal right to re
fuse such business.

ments until the question at issue
might be presented to the court in
proper form, This order he has

Roy Keriigau Departs for Marshfield

Futile Search.
Mat Karrigan, of Coqullle, is an
xiously awaiting word of his son who
left home on Juno 2 and except for
one letter dated at Marshfield on
June 7, ha3 disappeared, leaving ab
solutely no trace of his whereabouts.
Roy Kerrigan, the son, is eighteen
years old and has beon following
timbering. Ho intended when he left
homo to seek a position on South
Slough In one of tho logging camps,
Ho took the train for Marshfield and
on Juno 7 tho father received the
letter,
The young man spoke of the pros
pects around Coos Bay and men
tioned other matters but thero was
nothing to lead tho father to believe
the son had any intention of doing
anything out of tho ordinary. Mr.
Kerrigan was in Marshfield yester
day and notified Marshal carter of
the case. It is thought likely the,
young man may havo gone up one
of tho sloughs tributary to Coos Bay
and neglected to write- his father.

Hospitality,
REAR ADMIRAL IS SILENT
Brownsoii Refuses to Give Out Start
ing Time of New Pacific
Naval Fleet.
Tokio, July 9. The Asahl today
publishes an Interview with an influ
ential Japanese expert who places no
Importance to the transfer of tho
American fleet from the Atlantic to
the aclflc, saying that it is due to
the constant growth of the United
States navy and to the Increasing
importance of the Pacific, and that
no significance can be attached until
the United States masses at least
thirty ships in the Pacific.
The Asahi says editorially that it
regrets the American fleet cannot
visit Japan In order to enable Japan
to reciprocate the naval hospitality
extended to the Japanese fleet at
Jamestown. Other papers express
similar views.
Rrownsou Declines to Talk.
Washington, July 9. Rear Ad
miral Brownson, chief of the Bureau
of Navigation of the navy, declined
to Eay anything about his conference
with President Roosevelt at Oyster
Bay or express an opinion as to when
the battleship fleet may move to the
Pacific coast. Information obtained
from a reliable quarter says there
is no immediate prospects of a move
ment. The navy programme is to
save the ships of the Atlantic fleet
engage. In their usual summer
manoeuvers and target practice.
Details of the vast movement of
the Atlantic fleet to Pacific waters
have geen theoretically worked out
by the naval general board. But
these details are necessarily subject
to constant change resulting from
the withdrawal of battleships from
active commission on account of hav
ing been declared antiquated or In
need of repairs, and the substitution
.of other ships jhst going into com
mission and fresh from the builders'
hands. There is in the Navy Depart
ment today scarcely any one author
ized to afford any Information as to
the contemplated fleet movement.
Secretary Metcalf is in California;
Assistant Secretary Newberry is at
Watch Hill, R. I.; Admiral Brown
son, chief of navigation, who Is next
in line, has gono to New York, and
the acting Secretary of the Navy is
Rear-Admiral Mason, Chief of the
Bureau of Ordnance.
Tlwoplnlon of tho officers on duty
today Is that the route most feasible
for the big ships Is by tho straits of
Magellan. The route across tho At
lantic and through the Mediterranean
and Suez canal 13 open to tho objec
tion that it would bring 'the big ships
almost into Japanese waters, and the
movomont might consequently bo re
garded as a menace, which Secretary
Metcalf has stated was never con
templated. Tho Suez rduto, too, is
longer by a thousand miles than tho
Magollan route. This, according to
the best calculations, and allowing
for short vlstls to ports on the near
est sailing route, Is about 13,000
miles In length.

Bakersfleld, July 9. Two destruc
tive fires and tho flood aro today
laying waste -some of tho richest
ncreago in Kern county. The Buena
Vista reservoir is discharging its
water uninterruptedly, and the fires
are raging fiercely in the Tejon and
Templor, districts. The Tejon fire,
about thirty miles south of this place,
started near the Tejon ranch, tho
property of Truxton Beale, yesterday
morning in an unknown manner.
Fanned by a brisk breeze it spread
quickly to the east. Ranchers as
sembled on horseback frohi tfRhin a
radius of forty miles and a hundred
men are now on the fire line. So
far, however, their efforts are meet
ing with no success. As there aro
no roads from which to start back
fires, it is feared "that the rich land3
of the Tehachapi and mountain val
ley country will go up in smoke. A
fire has also started in the Templor
hills near the northwest boundary of
the county in the land of Henry Miles
and is spreading rapidly, though men
