Transportod To Scene of
Turbulent Strife.
Paris, Aug. 3. The French and
Spanish governments are acting In
concert and with great promptness
to meet the situation that has arisi
in Morocco. A warship of eachof
these powers is now :n the buibor of
Casa Blanca and threo FruriHi and
one Spanish man-of-war are now on
the way to Morocco. France has pro
posed to Spain the immediate land
ing of French and Spanish troops at
Casa Dlanca and in anticipation of a
favorable reply has prepared three
transports to convey 2500 men and
six hundred horses to Morocco.
What further steps, If any, are
contemplated has not been made pub
lic. The slight delay and embarrass
ment In meeting the situation is
caused by the absuice of Premier
Clemenceau who Is at Carlsbad tak
ing the cure. An official communica
tion Issued today says action of the
powers In Morocco Is limited to that
granted them under the Algerlcas
convention.
Up to midnight no telegram had
been received from Tangier reporting
the arrival there of fresh news from
Casa Blanca. A dispatch from Ogan,
Algeria, reports the bank at Tangier
has been pillaged and a British con
sular employe captured between
Tangier and Elksar.

WILL EMPLOY BANK EXPERT
LeuKton Council Finds Tn Ques
tion Is Complicated.
Lewlston, Idaho, Aug. 2. An ex
pert, familiar with banking laws and
banking atxation, will probably bo
employed by tho city council to un
tangle the knotty problem of equal
izing the taxes of the banks, a ques
tion with which the city council, sit
ting as a boatd of equalization, has
been wrestling for several weeks.
What bothers the' council are the
loan offsets charged up against stock
and In some cases the loans exceed
tho amount allowed by United States
banking laws. One of the bankers
has retorted that" such a question Is
not for the city council to settle, but
rather one that concerns alone the
comptroller of the currency. That
the question is too .deep for the coun
cil to settle without advice Is agreed
on, and they are now considering the
advisability of eiijproying an expert
who will go over the books and as
certain Just what" is a just and fair
equalization. ,

Walla Walla Druirglst Has Been
Gone a Month.
Walla Walla, 'Wash., Aug. 2. The
family and friends of Charles Holt; a)
well known pharmacist who was em-i
ployed In -the Sheltjn drug store onf
East Alder',street, are much concern-,
ed over his' continued absence from
home. He went away June 27, say
ing ho had some business to trans
act In Spokane and would be absent
for two or three days, since which
time nothing has been heard from
him. He has a wife and two small
children living here, the ages of the
latter being C and 13. So far as
known, tho domestic relations of Mr.
and Mrs. Holt were of the most con
genial nature, and his' friends are at
a loss to account for his strango and
mysterious disappearance. Mr. Holt
came hero about a year ago from
Waitsburg, where ho was employed
as a pharmacist for 15 years.
A special to tho Portland Tele
gram from Washington, says: "It Is
probably that another naval station
will be created upon tho Pacific
Coast, as the result of the forthcom
ing visit there of Admiral Capps,
chief naval constructor of the Navy,
and Admiral Cowles, chief of the
equipment bureau. The former left
Washington today for New York,
where he will be joined by Admiral
Cowles, and they will go together to
tho Pacific Coast to make a thorough
inspection of the yards and stations
on that Coast, and report upon the
future needs of the Navj In that
quarter.
"Admiral Hollidr. chief of the
bureau of yards and docks, will fol
low these' two officers to San Fran

of the Maro Island Navy Yard and,
that at Bremerton. The resources of
the two navy yards, which are the
only ones on a 2000-mile stretch of
shore land, are scarcely sufficient to
make even temporary repairs and
dockings that will be required by
Admiral Evans battleship fleet If it
makes only a temporary visit to the
Coast. Hence the inspection of these
yards will probably result In recom
mendations to Congress at its ap
proaching session for a considerable
enlargement of the plans at both
places. -i. . -
"TJie difficulty of procuring skilled
labor In these yards, and especially
at Bremerton, will also be considered
with a view to making tHe conditions
more attractive to such labor, if by
no other means than, by assuring the
men of continuous employment at
good wages.
"But from a naval point of view of
more interest is the proposition to
establish a naval) station at San
Diego, Cal., which vurllUbb; examined
fronrall points of -view4" by 'the -visiting
admirals. The harbor at this
point posscssos superior advanatges
as a naval anchorage.' There are)
good railroad connections, assuring)
abundant coal supplies overland If
water communication is cut off in
war time, and the harbor can easily
be made imprognable.
"The distance of San Diego south
ward from San Francisco and upon
the same line with the projected
Panama canal, would also make it an
advantageous coaling point. Of
course, the consent of Congress
would be necessary to render effec
tive its selection.

Jackson, Mich., Aug. 2. A west

about three miles east of here to
night. Mrs. Levi Palmer, Mrs. Emily
Pulver, and Bernlco Oliver were
killed. R. A. Oliver, who was driv

his wife escaped with less serious
Injuries. From the fact that the
brakes on the touring car wero not

DENVER HAS A' "SLASHER JACK"
Denver, AS. 2. "Jack, the
Slasher" was'anested in this city af
ter ho had slashed tho dresses of
nearly 30 women and girls on tho
streets. He was caught in tho act
and when searched had a keen knife
and a number of bits of slashed
dresses In his pockets. Gavo tho
name of Peter Magoflln, occupation,
laborer. Could not explain his actions.
A sudden activity is noticable In
the Plat B territory, recently annex
ed to North Bend. There are signs
which are unfailing, and promise
added development In the country
between Marshfleld and North Bend
proper, Teams are busy grading,
workmen are arranging the Pony In
let sawmill for operation, a logging
crew is completing plans for landing
the large quantities of timber In tho
Plat B properties' which was felled
last year, and there Is a general air
of rejuvenation.
Major Kinney was seen and asked
respecting this sudden transforma
tion. He said: "I am building an elec
tric railroad."
Accoidlng to the Major, the elec
tric line Is to run from the water
front on Plat B to the wdter front
at Emphe.'both of which properties
are owned by Major Kinney. The
distance between the two points Is
exactly three miles, and the road is
to be laid with 5C-pound steel. The
profiles of the route show no higher
grade than six per cent anywhere In
the distance. Major Kinney has the
estimates for the work in his office
and the cost of the three miles
graded and ready for the equipment
will be In the neighborhood of $41,
000, meaning the grading will be
completed and ties and rails laid for
that amount. The equipment 'is ex
pected to cost about twenty thousand
more. There is no stock or boriUF
connected with 'this road, and the
Major says he will put It through
without a cent of Coos Bay ni'oriey,
The road will run on -Newmark
street, the most direct route- across
"the" peninsula. '
There are many other works con
nected with the railroad. There
must be wharfage at 'both ends.
There must be lumber from which to
construct these wh'arves and build
ings. Major Kinney will turn this
lumber out at his Pony Inlte mill,
fwhlch Is scheduled to start next!
'"Monday. 'He has secured for Buper'-I
intendent of this mill, Mr. Chllds.'of)
.North Bend, who Is an able and com
petent mlllman. Tho mill will saw
ties, heavy timbers for the wharf
work, planking for the wharves, andi
bridge timbers for the thousand-foot
bridge which will carry the road
across Pony Inlet. This bridge will
be twenty feet aboye the sea level.
The Major stated that he Is secur
ing fli'st-class men for all tho work
ho has In hand, as he has had past
experience with ordinary workmen,
which proved very costly. George
Wo)druff is in charge of tho logging
part of the work and has n crow busy
cettinK tho timber to tho mill. J.
D. Stewart has the contract for mov
ing 10,000 yards of dirt and has live
taems at work this week, and has
several more to come next Monday.
Ho has orders to push the grading
as fast as possible and will put on all
tho teams he can bceuio. Mr. Stew-

There Is a de3lre on the part of the
public to have the Front street ex-

way that will allow t'eama a'nd pedes
trians to make the entire distance

Marshfleld without resorting to the
county highway. The Marshfleld
work will soon be completed to
within a few hundred feet of the ship
yard, and this i3 about a third of the
distance to North Bend. From the
end of this work, there is a space
of something like a thousand feet to"
the south border or Plat B.
The property where this Interrup
tion occurs belongs to several differ
ent parties, and it is planned to take
thq matter up with tho owners and
arrange for a plank roadway to span
it. Major Kinney, who controls the
Plat B water front. Is colnc to build
3300 feet of wharfage at tho harbor j

Mr. Snover covered the themo
well, and told of tho great popularity
of this variety of applo with the Cal

developed before the meeting was
over that Mr. F. S. Dow of Marsh
fleld has already purchased for this
year, 10,000 boxes of Gravenstelna
for the California and Hawaiian mar
ket, and he said he would buy 400,
000 boxes if they could be obtained.
He urged the Chamber of Commerce
to show the farmers the profits to bo
derived from production of this peo
derlved from production of this
apple.
Before closing he said It was the
only profitable apple grown In the
county. That statement started tho
ternoon. The Italian was engaged In
cleaning out tho cinder pit and had j arguments and several speakers fol-
lnstructed-tlie- hostler to stop at a lowed who mentioned the Coos River
partlclilar spot over the pit. The Beauty, the Spitzenberg, Northern
hostler failed by a hair's breadth and Spy and one or two others, and de-
the Italian rushed at him with an.
