NEW BOATS TO PLY ALONG THE COAST Heavy Business Now Out of Coos Buy, Eureka, and Other Ports The Reason.' Beginning In time to hr.ndle some if the fall trade and transport a por tion of the season's shipment of grain, tv now line of steamers will begin plying between this port and , California, stopping at Coos Bay, Eureka, San Francisco nnd thence ' southward to Monterey and Los An geles, says the Portland-Journal. . Whllo the name of the new com- J nnnv to nnffr Hits nnrrlinrn flnlil lms ( been withheld for the present, ar rangements are being completed with one of the steamship offices on the waterfront wlioro the business of the line will bo handled and negotiations with the new agent who will tako charge aro being carried on dally. Tho California company at present maintains offices in San Francisco, San Pedro and Los Angeles, with headquarters at tho latter placo. Two steamers will bo put on tho northern run besides towboats owned by tho company, Both steamers carry about 700 tons of freight, havo passenger accommodations for 80 persons and are equipped with engines which will jnako a "speedy run between coast points. It Is stated that the now company is establishing itself in Portland be cause competition between San Francisco and way points, where it Is now engaged In handling coast ton nage, has proved too keen. It Is tho expectation that a big business will originate in Portland during tho fall, especially In grain shipments, Indi cations pointing to an enormous hnr vest in all sections of Oregon and Washington. Being In a position to operate tho entire longth of thocoast, tho now local company will bo able to fill up ut San Francisco what It falls to get coastwise It is expected that final nrrangomeuts for opening offices hero will bo comploted early next month, so that tho steamers can begin reg ular runs prlorto- Soptombor 1.

' J- BONITA WINS BOAT RACE WITH APPARENT EASE O'Kelly's Launch Secured the Lead After the Cold Storage Plant was Passed and Main tained It Without Trouble J. Wilcox Wins $950.00 As predicted by the Times, the boat race attracted more attention that has taken place on Coos Bay in years. In the past thore has been much talk about Bpeedy boat racing; there have been a few important con tests, but Sunday's race was the cli max to all the talk and racing. Some were apprehensive that the propo-ed race would turn out to be a fiasco, and while this suspicion was common, fow believed In it fully, and none who were Interested dired stay at homo for fear of missing it. It might be said, without exaggeration, that 75 per cent of Coos Bay's popu lation saw the race. The Marshfield docks were thronged for several blocks; North Benders were out in I full force; along the Intermediate points, Ferndale, the stave mill, Plat B, the Porter Mill, the Old North Bend Mill, and on other available' vantage points, people waited pa-' tlently for the start, and remained for the return tilp. Empire turned out en masse to wa'ch the race. Crews of ships along the water front watched the contest aud cheered each contestant impartially. Good na tured encouragement was offered the Express when sh3 came In speaking distance of the spectatois. Tho race was late In starting', but those of Marshfield who came to see the start before breakfasting, stuck doggedly to their posts. The time announced tor tho start was 8:30, but it was 9:12 when tho flag fell and tho crowd cheered the two boats on their way. When the boats came up for tho word, the Express was a length or two In the lead, and an- other trial was made. Tho boats ' a hundred revolutions or wnat couiu swung about and again came towards I "e expected under perfect atmos the A street dock. Starter Lawlor 1'heric conditions. But this affected gave tho signal this time and the race both boats alike, and there was no was on with the Express several feet in the lead. Tho two judges had been selected on the morning of the raco and ono this natuio and P is said the Express accompanied each boat, Henry Wells ' people pinned their faith largely up on the Bonita and O. W. Briggs of on the expectation that the Bouita's the Times, on tho Express. The In structions were simple. The racers wore to keep inside the channel for tho entire distance, round the buoy at Charleston Bay, and returning ob serve tho same precaution, keeping inside the channel limit. Tho duties of tho judges wero not onerous and no difficulties occured to hamper the decision, as often happen when tho stakes on a sporting event arc large, as they wero in this instance. Tho timing as given herewith was recorded aboard the Express and cor rected upon comparison with watches carried on the Bonita, and tho items aro as nearly correct as could be giv en. Tho racers held together at first and tho race seemed likely to be to the ono or tho other. But the Bon ita had a length's lend as the cold storage plant was passed. Tho stave mill was reached in eight minutes, with tho Bonita slowly drawing away. Her lead was 100 yards by this time, yet tho race was young nnd this was considered only a temporary lead. But, as Plat B, Porter, North Bend and the Old Town wero passod and the Bonlta's lead had increased to 200 yards, 300, 100, a quarter of a mile, tho matter commenced to look serious to tho sklppor and crow of tho Express. Tho Bonita kept on Increasing tho distance to her credit and on passing Empire, had a comfortable half mile to tho good. To thoso on tho Ex press this difference looked tho same for tho next fow miles and tho Bonita rounded tho buoy oxactly four min utes ahead of tho Express. Tho re turn trip was a repetition of tho out going raco, tho Bonita gaining bo- twoon 4 nnd C minutes botweon tho buoy and Marshland. Captain Hoi- land did not cross tho lino at tho fin- Ish, but tied up at his boat house. I It was estimated from tho figures , on the raco that tho Bonita led at tho 1 finish between a mile and a quarter . and a milo and a half.

T,mi?hneri nnri thn 4U(ie Conditlons for the race were Ideal j and the bay calm throughout the en- i tire running. There was a slight breeze which aided the going on the outward trip, but the boats had this i against them on the return trip. j Despite this, they made better time I morning back than before, likely on account of tide conditions. The day was comfortably warm and permitted of spectators lounging and discussing the contest in the open air whilo awaiting the passing aud repassing of the racers. Tho parties Interested In the work ing of tho boats' engines said the day was not favorable for engines, and that they could not get within excuses to make on this account. ThercS is always a certain amount of gossip and ins'de talk on events of englno would not be managed In such a manner that host lesults would be obtained. Since the race, the con cession Is made that tho Bonita is the best boat when tho matter ot speed enters into the discussion. The result of the contest is a boost for Max Tlmmerman, who built the Bonita. This boat was planned for speed and she has fulfilled all tho ex pectations of her owner and the builder. There is nothing lost by the Ex press people, since the boat is a freighter aud was designed for caring for tho increased tonnago which the South Coos 13 offering. The largest winner on the race was Jay Wilcox, of North Bend. When he counted up his funds at the close, ho had $1900, which gives him a clean-up of $950. Side bets were made by admirers of tho respective boats and considerable money changed hands in this way. Many backers lost on tho belief that the raco would bo finished In two hours.

MARSHFIELD FIRE DE PARTMENT HAS RUN The fire alarm sounded yesterday afternoon between 1 and 2 o'clock and the volunteer firemen had tho apparatus out Ic a jiffy. The hook and ladder truck and the hose cart were well on the way to tho skating rink, whence the alarm came, when the boys were informed there was no need for their services. The ex citement started over the crossing of electric wires being prepared for the moving picture machine. There was a tremendous flash, and some rubber covering was burned.
