EAKER STORIES IN WHICH EGG, MULE AND DOG DO STUNTS NONUNION MUL12 GOKS STIIIKK, T1IKX HKSU.MKS WOMv. ON Cairo, 111., Aug. C. A crop of na ture faker stories that are expected to draw the fire of criticism from Prof. Long and President Roosevelt developed here Friday. First, a mule went on a strike be cause of the heat, and refused to haul coal to a locaL factory, and, for want of It, an Ice famine was for awhile Imminent. The mule does not belong to any union, but he Is a union unto himself. He decided that It was too hot to work, and, In a shady spot, lay down. The driver tried all sorts of ways to get him up, but the mule stood pat. After he rested a couple of hours, he delib erately arose, brayed a couple of times and started his labor again, doing well, bo Is Mrs. Hosklns.

Hosklns, wife of a local millwright, 13 authority for the story of a chick en being hatched in nn Icebox. Last night-Mrs. Hosklns purchased a doz en eggs from a corner grocery and put them in the refrigerator. This morning, when she opened the box, great was her surprise to see a fuzzy little chicken parading around among the butter dishes and milk pans and emitting lusty cheeps. The hot weather 01 the past few days is believed to have acted as an outdoor Incubator, and the chicken was about ready to break out of the shell when put in the icebox. T'he sudden change In temperature made him inquisitive and stirred him to ac tivity. The chick is still alive and capacity for beer, Induced him to drink. FIDO, TKMI'KKATi: UtillHTOFOItH FALLS FllOM flltACK AND IlKCOMKK DltUNK. Cairo, 111., Aug. G. Raymond Rodgers came to the front this even ing with a story of how a saloon keeper's dog led his "FIdo" astray. Fldo has been trained to go to the corner "thirst parlor" for a can of beer every evening. No cash is ever sent, and the barkeeper keeps track of the number of cans. Last night Fldo was missing. Later his owner found him in a vacant lot, with four other dogs, lapping beer out of the can. All were happy and wobbling about on unsteady legs. Fldo had made a dozen trips to the saloon and Rodgers had a big bar bill to settle. He declares that Fldo was always a temperate dog, but that "Scottle," the dog owned by the sa loon keeper and with an unlimited COOS BAY BRIEFS TIMES' TELEPHONES Editorial Rooms - - - - 1331 Business Office - - - - 1331 DRAIN STAGE SCHEDULE. v J The Drain stage boat leaves Marshfleld at :30 a. m.; re- turning, arrives1 at 10:30.

The building permits issued since the fire up to July 31, 1907, as shown by the records of the California Promotion Committee, make a total of ?7S,250,G20. In most cases the cost of building has exceeded the esti mates, and the true value of the Im provements made or under way Is probably In oxcess of $00,000,000. The figures of the Harbor Commis sion and of the office of building per mits re-enforce each other. Build ing has been going on at a rate un precedented In any city stricken by calamity. San Francisco has spent In one year more thnn Baltimore spent In four years after lief" fire. The rebuilding of Chicago, marvel ous as it was, was slow in comparison with tho rebuilding of San Francisco. The San Francisco fire was bigger In area and in losses than all the noted fires of tho United States put to gether. And tho energy with which the loss is being repaired is as nota ble as Its extent. San Francisco has beaten the record In reconstruction, as well as destruction.

The situation in San Francisco has been looked upon as having been greatly retarded and the impression has gained ground that the city is not rebuilding as fast rs it should. But It Is Imagination, and the fol lowing summarizing of the extent of recent work and shipments shows how badly the outside public Is de ceiving itself. The accompanlng article was published in the San Francisco Examiner. "A good deal has been sald-espe-clally In the Eastern press of the slow progress that has been made In covering the burned district of San Francisco with buildings. Some of it has been due to downright mis representation. "The figures that the Harbor Com mission has just sent to tho Gov ernor give a very practical answer to tho carpers. The report shows tho amount of building materials that have reached San Francisco by sea during tho twelve months ending June 30, 1907, and the total Is some thing to amaze even San Franclsco ans.

The officers elected are, T. B. Wheeler, president, and G. T. Treadgold, secretary, and among others, a committee has been appointed to compile, issue and dis tribute such advertising matter. Other objects of tho Bandon Develop ment Association are to urge better bar and harbor facilities, more steamship lines, better roads and general city Improvement. Tho Association is composed of 50 enthusiastic charter members, who expect to double the membership by next meeting. While hunting last Thursday, Frank Barrows, of this place, was accldently and fatally shot, about 20 miles below here. Mr. Barrows and companions wore in the vicinity of Four Mile creek, and while walking a log through tho brush, Barrows fell for a distance of nearly 12 feet, by which tho rifle he carried wa3 dis charged, tne binlet striking the up per side of tho right shoulder, and emerging from the body at the right side of the small of tho back. Bar rows lived for nearly two hours, and was conscious to the last ten min utes. It was Impossible for a team and wagon to reach within ten miles of tho body, and accordingly a num ber of men, with a team, leu Ban don, Thursday at midnight, taking stretcher, rope, axes, and such other necessary implements as were neces sary, and returned here Saturday morning with the body. Barrows was quiet of disposition, unassuming, hardworking, and highly respected, and was until re cently engaged ns fireman upon the tug Triumph, but at the time of his death was engaged in tho drayage business.

Mr Wright is himself a true sportsman and no one ever accused him of be ing anything else. Knowing this quality In him State Warden Baler knew ho was selecting a competent and vigorous man for the position of deputy warden, and no ono be lieves ho has made a mistake. Mr. Wright says ho hns receive! many letters since it became knofn he was likely to receive tho appoint ment as deputy, Informing him of In fractions of tho game laws In iarl oiis sections of the territory which is in his jurisdiction, and he Is ad vised as to tho whereabouts of those who arc breaking tho law.

Mr. Baker advised him to ex pect such an appointment. Tho war den for the district has put out no tices stating that all streams In the district will be energetically patroll ed during the fishing season, and If Mr. Wright is appointed the law breakers can expect to be appre hended. Mr. Wright's commission reads as follows: "State of Oregon.

North Bend Is outgrowing itsolf. Not so long ngo tho presont school building was considered commodious and of nmplo dimensions to house all the boys and girls for ears to come. Slnco tho beginning of tho school term lust year however thd attend ance has multiplied by leaps and bounds and when tho last term closed, pupils and teachers breathed at their escapo from tably crowded condition of tho schol rooms. Next year North Bond's school building will have un 'addition of two rooms and oven with these it Is not thought there will be any surplus area. Peter Wiser, contractor and car pouter of North Bend, has tho con tract for enlarging the North Bend school building and he expects to complete) the Job Id tho course of a few weeks. . x lAfgh of relief rtlie uiicomfortab come, in good supply has como by rail, so that the figures given above aro well with in the amount used or in stock. The banner month for lumber was pecemtiar, when '1GG. 010,159 feet came into port. For bricks, it was March, with arrivals of 4.10S.502. For gravel and crushed rock, It was July, when 324,990 tons arrived. For shingles, It was February, with arrivals of 72,922,000. For laths, it was March, with 8G, 543, 250. For shakes, It was December, with 1,379,- 725. For cement, it was November, with arrivals of 20.SG3 tons. For window glass, it was June, when 750 tons came Into port. Most of these figures aro too huge to convoy any definite idea to tho In experienced mind. Perhaps the most impressive of all Is tho smallest fig ure. When 3,840 tons of window glass have come Into port In six months (tho returns of Its arrival begin only with January), any ono must know that a good deal of build ing Is going on. In truth, building has been going at a tremendous rate. Impatient San Franclscgnns have felt that in the last few months tho work has been dragging. Beyond doubt, It has been retarded by unsettled condi tions. Vet, with all drawbacks, the building permits taken out in July made a total of $4,752,778 In value.
