Here, North Bend and Marshfleld will battle for the coveted second lflace, since first place is out of reach and in the possession of Peralta and his Coquille aggregation. Marshflcld forfeited to North Bend last Sunday, and contrary to the statement made in the TIme3 that Marshfleld was one score ahead when the difficulty oc curred, North Bend was the team that had the extra score. There was no ill feeling over the matter nnd the teams will como together today and play the game to a finish, as if noth ing had happened to mar the good feeling which has prevailed through out the season among the ball play crs, Captain Lyons of North Bend was seen while- in Marshfleld the other day, and confessed that the de cision on which, the game broke up should have been in Marshfleld's fa vor, but the umpire's word stands and so the game today will be for second place. This being the last game and full of interest for both cities, It should draw a very large audience. The season has been marked by the best of feeling among tho play ers and the supporters of the sev eral teams. Backers have journey ed back and forth between tho River and tho Bay to see their respective teams play and good crowds have patronized the contests. Naturally, this side has enjoyed better patron age, as tho cities on the other side arc less populous and therefore as largo crowds as attend here could not bo expected on the Coquille side. Captain McKeown, of tho Marsh fleld team, says he expects to win today, and bases his hopo on tho im proved playing of his team of late. Then, Pitcher Wright can always bo relied upon to do his best when the team is winning or when it is losing. Ho is a steady pitcher with good control and when tho team back of him does its part, Wright can usually bring thorn out winners. North Dend will likely pitch Foote, tho left handed twirler and ho has some very deceptive curves. Marshfleld won from the North Bend team with Foote in tho box, and believes she can do the turn today. Bandon and Coquille will meet at Bandon, and in case Bandon plays as she did last Sunday when she was beaten 2G to 4, it ought to be easy picking for Coquille. The playing of the Bandon boys has been rather an egnlma, since they have played some very excellent games, and at the samo time, some very yellow ones. When they shut out North Bend four to nothing, there was a general be lief that Bandon was coming fast and would startlo Coquille last Sun day. But her very poor showing dis sipated tho thought that sho would hold tho pace. HEARST SUED FOR $300,000 Chicago Examiner and American Misrepresented Jacob J. Kern in Rank Failure. Chicago, Aug. 23.

ORE ASSAYS GOOD VALUES Some Runs 40 Per Cent Copper and $1H0 Gold Intends Build ing Large Smelter. - Mr. James Milner, of Los Angeles, California, yesterday placed on dis play at tho Chamber of Commerce room, some excellent samples of cop per ore, which Is heavily impregnated with silver and gold. J Mr. Mllncr Is manager of the Oregon Mining and Milling Company, whose headquar ters 13 at Los Angeles. It is little known that Coos county has any mineral deposits of value, and should you ask an old resident you would be informed there are no such de posits. Nevertheless, some of the samples which Mr. Milner brought In with him run as high as 40 per cent copper, and carry gold to tho value of $130 per ton, with silver running gold a close second. This company was organized last year after Mr. Milner, who is an experienced miner, had prospected and examined the properties and recommended tlielr purchase. The company is caplatl Ized at three million dollars", but Mr. Mllner's business here is not to sell stock. There is none for sale. The property is situated in the southeastern part of the county, very close to the Curry county line. Mr. Milner came hero last year in search of he-tilth and spent seven months in scouring the country tributary to the location of the twelve claims which this company controls. He learned of the likelihood of finding good pay ing ore in Coos county and accord ingly spent some time In searching It out. Ho was greatly surprised to F. W. Wood and Son Will Badly Burned In Explosion of Leaking Gasolene. WERE GOING TO COOS RIVER Accident Happened on Water Front and Shock Was Felt on Sher man Avenue. Saturday morning, about 7:30 a serious accident happened at the wa ter front, as a result of which F. W. Wood of the firm of Wood Bros., prominent North Bend real estate dealers, and his son Will aro suffer ing from some severe burns. They are both confined to their beds, but are getting along ats nicely as can bo expected, though It will bo somo time before they will be able to be about again. Will is the more Berl ously injured. His face is badly burned and his arms were also scorched and burned -up to tho el hnwR, Mr. Wood's burns are con fined principally to hisfaco and hands. It appears that Mr. Wood, with his wifr. his son. his sister-in-law, and Mrs. Frey were going to take a trip up Coos river. Mr. woou anu nis son went down to get tho boat, a rrnsmirinr, iminch. In readiness. 'What caused tho accident is a matter of conjecture, hut It is supposed tnat gas had accumuiatea in tno uoai anu nrnmwl the enclno. which was ig nited by the sparker. At any rate Will was Btooping over mo engine, and had just started the wheel when there vias a flash and tho boat, and boat house were in flames. Tho flame3 caught the piling of tho wharf at tho corner of the box and voneer factory and for a moment It looked as though a general conflagration had been started, but tho flames wore soon put out on the wharf. Tho boat, however, is a total loss, save for tho engine, which seems to bo intact. .The boat houso was pretty well burned up, and Is also a total wreck. Saturday afternoon the boat houso got adrift and was going on the tide, towards Marshfleld. Both Mr. Wood and his boy stayed and helped to quench the flames, before going to town to eek medical assistance. Doings as Recorded by Times' Regular Correspondent I flfi! I BE SI J) KM fliid the properties so rich, and says they run. much greater vaules than some of the noted mines. When ho came up from tho south this time, it was with the intention of making plans for building a smel ter at the mines. This the company Is unable to do, since Mr. Milner says they have been warned by the gov ernment not to put any smelter in tue .government reserve, in which the mines are located. For that reason, he is on Coos Bay with the thought of selecting a location for the smel ter. Tho president of tho company will bo on tho ground next Tuesday and then some material move will be made towards selecting a site and preparing for reduction of the rich ore which will be shipped from the mines. The property is located in tho Johnson creek country and is about twenty-flvo miles from Myrtle Point. Mr. Milner will remain here for about a month yet to look after tho affairs of the company. WORK ON ARAG0 FAIR GROUNDS PROGRESSING W. F. Keller, of Arago, Is in Marshfleld looking after matters con nected with the coming fair and race meeting at Arago. Ho is very en thusiastic over tho prospects of hav ing a good meeting and plenty of ex hibits and says that everybody is In terested In the fair. The buildings are being erected and the track has been worked down to a very fine condition, being in excellent shape. Subscriptions have been liberal, yet there aro more needed aud that Is part of his business in Marshfleld and this side of the divide. TAR BURNS FIERCELY AND MAKES BIG SMUDGE Quito a little excitement occurred yesterday forenoon when the dipping tank of the Marshfleld Water Com pany took Are. The tank was par tially filled with tar which was being used to coat the pipes used in tho water service. Great clouds of dense, black smoko rolled from the tank as the tar blazed fiercely and .many thought a large destructive fire was in progress. The tank Is situated on a vacant lot near tho Masonic tem ple. A still alarm was turned inland the hose cart was taken to the scene. The flames were not extinguished by water, however, but were smoth ered by dirt. Tim hn.'it nnrl boat, house belOIlKed to Mr. Frey, the clothier, who is in San Francisco on a business trip.

MERRY PARTY ENJOYS PETERSON HOSPITALITY A crowd of young people went up Haines Inlet to tho Peterson ranch on Friday night. They took along with them plenty of good things to eat, Including a sack of watermelons. They also took along a case of soda water, at least that is the way it was labeled. They spent the evening in dancing, singing and feasting. They returned early Saturday morning a little tired and sleepy, but united In saying that they had a most enjoy able time. Tho Petersons certainly know how to entertain. Mr. Doug las, the North Bond photographer, was tho organizer and conductor of tho excursion.- Chamber of Commerce Held No Meeting.

FAST FREIGHT National Bureau of Manfac tures Proposes to Cap ture China's Trade. 60 DAYS ACROSS AMERICA American Manufacturers Handicapped Uy Uncertainty of Delivery of Goods in Orient. Washington, Aug. 23. A special fast freight train from the Atlantic to Ihe Pacific coast to run on a regu lar schedule is a scheme proposed by Major John M. Carson, chief of the National Bureau of Manufacturers, to the managements of transcontinental railway systems, as a means for building up the trade of this country with the Orient. It now requires CO days to trans port freight from tho Atlantic to tho Pacific coast, and even this extended period is not guaranteed, the time a shipment is en route sometimes ex ceeding three "months. Ono of the greatest drawbacks tho American ex porter now has In getting trade in tho Orient is the uncertainty of delivery of goods, and shipments made for the Summer trade often are delayed until that season Is far past, to. the great loss of tho buyer and of the certain discontinuance of "further orders. The idea of a special freiglit train to the Pacific running on a fixed schedule grew out of the recognized disadvantage under which the United States works in her attempt to com pete with European countries for trado in China, Japan and other Ori ental countries. Germany, England, Franco and other European countries have direct communication by regu lar schedule with the Far East, and tho certainty of delivering goods at a specified time Is one of the essential factors through which these countries hold their trade. Train n Trado Winner. Major Carson says that It is his be lief that the establishment of,a train such as he proposes would create tho trade which would make it profitable. He says tho trade even in the face of the present difficulties, Is sufficient to pay for a certain service, and better service would give birth to an in creased trade. When a meVchant in Hongkong! buys goods for his summer trade, or his winter patrons, he wants to know if the goods are to be on hand when he needs them. The American exporter can give no satis factory guarantee of that fact, while the German will give him the exact date of arrival. Major Carson has also preached tho gospel of specially manufactured goods for China, especially packed and shipped. Our trade with China has reached approximately $100,000, 000 a year, but It is held that it might be increased to many times that amount. The Chinese empire is showing many signs of rejuvena tibn, and with that awakening tho great opportunity of more than doub ling our trado will come. A .readi ness for It depends largely upon tho provisions for transporting tho pro ducts of our factories in a satisfac tory manner. AGRICULTURAL TEXT BOOKS ADOPTED Summer School at Oregon Agricul- tural College Will Discuss Its Uses. A summer school in Agriculture will be held at the Oregon Agricul tural College beginning on August 26 and continuing for six days. Special ists In different branches of agricul ture will give a course of lectures of special interest to public school teachers. These lectures will bo sup plemented by demonstrations and ex ercises in tho fields, orchards and laboratories to illustrate tho princi ples taught. Thoso attending tho School will have the opportunity of attending the sessions of tho Benton County teachers' Institute, which will be held August 29, 30 and SI, ar rangements having been made to hold tho institute in tho Collego buildings during tho hours tho school is not in session. Tho public school teachers of tho state, as well as others Interested In the work, aro invited to attend. Tho purpose of the Summer School' is primarily to assist tho public school teachers of tho state in preparing themselves for teaching agriculture in tho public schools. Tho State Text Book Commission has adopted an agricultural text book for uso in tho seventh and eighth grades of tho schools, and as few of the teachers have had any special training in scientific agriculture, and somo of thorn probably without experience on tho farm, it is Important that thoy make somo preparation for using tho text book Intelligently. It is bellovod that this summer school will be of material assistance to tho teachers in preparing themselves for giving agri- nultiirftl lnutriir.Mnn. f The services of specialists in differ ent subjects of agriculture and tho college equipment for agricultural work will bo utilized as far as possi ble in the summer school work. INVENTS SOLDER FOR ALUMINUM Portland Man's Discovery Will Add To Commercial Valuo of Metal. Portland, Ore, Aug. 23. Experi ments that have been conducted in Portland for the past few months have resulted In what experts declaro to be tho first practical solder for aluminum that has ever been found. The inventor, Charles L. Durboraw, intends manufacturing the solder here in Portland and has protected has discovery by patent papers until such time as It can bo regularly patented. If the solder proves, as suc cessful as Its Inventor claims, the uso of aluminum will bo greatly increas ed as a distinct metal. At present it is largelv used as an alloy. Solders Metal Tightly. Durboraw's new solder, which ho calls aluminum solder, is very much tho samo color as aluminum but is somewhat heavier. It fuses readily, but will not melt under ordinary heats, provided the vessel of which It Is a part contains some liquid. Specimens of aluminum sheets sold ered tightly together by the new sub stance aro exhibited by Durboraw. Apparently the solder adhers to tho aluminum with all tho strength dis played by ordinary soldor When ap plied to tin. It not only acts in soldering two pieces of aluminum but is fully as successful, it is claimed, when applied to galvanized iron or tin. The inventor Is a modest young fellow who has spent tho greater part of his 27 years experimenting in me chanics. His little homo at 45 Grand avonue is a treasure trovo for tho man with a mechanical turn of mind and somo of tho most interesting things In it are patents that Dur boraw has taken out himself. Inventor Has Other Patents. He has been inventing things over slnco he was 19 years old and has made considerable amounts at ono time and another which ho has de voted for the most part In furthering delving along the same lines. Among the better known devices that aro en tered to his credit In the patent offlco at Washington aro a railroad track fastener now used on many road3 throughout the country, and a patent nut lock. Slnco tho discovery of aluminum early in the past century its uso has been restricted to 'an alloy to be used with other metals or to one-piece articles owing to lack of a suitablo solder. Its light weight, which la only two and a half times greater than that of water, would make it especially valuable for various kinds of utensils and for general use where lightness i3 desirable. WHERE THE PLEASURE SEEKERS WILL GO Knights of Pythias Picnic and Rail Game Will Attract Many Cities Will Re Deserted. Today promises to see both North Bond and Marshflcld deserted, with tho exception of thoso who remain for tho baseball game. There aro so many places to go that tho pleasuro seeker Is puzzled over which to choose. Tho Knights of Pythias will have a largo crowd at their Piper Grove picnic if the weather this morning looks favorablo. The lodges of both North Bend and Marshflold aro Interested In this picnic and havo made every effort to havo It turn out a pleasurablo success. Appearance of rainy weather would naturally havo a deterrent effoct on guests and would cut tho attendance down con siderably. The excursion to Charleston, al ways popular, is likely to have a large crowd as well, for thero aro always thoso who prefer tho beach to the interior and enjoy tho sea breeze and salt water bathing, Coos river will havo its usual crowd of Sunday visitors and the summer homes aro Inviting.
