WOULD GO TO
F. W. Mulkey, Ex-Senator for
Oregon, in Marshfield for
a Day.
IS AN AVOWED CANDIDATE
Mas Visited Many of tho Isolated
Sections. Finds Friend
ly Feeling.
Ex-Senator F. W. Mulkey, of Port
land, accompanied by Major J.
Kennedy, formerly circuit clerk of
Multnomah county, is on Coos Bay.
'Mr. Mulkey is an avowed candidate
lor the senatorship and will como
before the people next spring as a
candidate on the Republican ticket
at the primaries and will submit his
case to the voters who exercise the
Tights of balloting for the candidate
of their choice. Mr. Mulkey feels
that every man who nas political
aspirations is privileged to make the
Tace for office and he is in the race
ior a finish. He is not saying
-whether the people of the state are
pleased with the present senator
whose term will expire in about
eighteen months, for that is not in
-his line. It Is well understood, how
over, throughout the state that
there are not the closest relations
l)etween Senator Fulton and the ad
ministration, and though Mr. Mulkey
does not own that such is a fact, ho
could not very well be without tho
information. Mr Mulkey vas nomi
nated by the Republicans In 190G
and elected to tho unexpired term
"without Democratic opposition. No
doubt should he receive the present
nomination he would be pleased to
have the Democrats remain as quiet
as they did at the last election. But
this is not probable, as Gov. Cham
herlaln is grooming himself for tho
race, and whoever gets tho Republi
can nomination will have a good
lively contest on his hands for
Chamberlain is popular and has been
elected governor twice by Republican
"votes. But aside from tho Demo
cratic candidates, Mr. Mulkey will
N$nd plenty of trouble in the Repub-
Mean ranks, for it is presumed
William Cake will be In the race as
well as Senator Fulton. Mr. Mulkey
Is touring the Isolated counties dur
ing the summer months when it is
-possible to get around easily and
make good time. The railroad cities
can be canvassed In the winter. Ho
will go from here to the Coquille
country and on down into Curry
county, expecting to go as far as
Port Orford.. He hopes to mako the
trip and return to Portland for the
visit of Secretary Taft, on the 5th of
September. In speaking of his pres
ent trip, Mr. Mulkey said he found
a vory friendly feeling In the coun
ties he has visited, which includo
Klamath, Lake and others In that
section of tho state.
f "When Mr. Mulkey was a candidate
last year, tho humorous frlenus had
i it that he was tho best looking poli
tician that was touring tho state, and
the comments inspired somo Jealousy
among other candidates, but nothing
of a serious nature. Somo of tho
papers suggested that In case the
women werd privileged to voto thoro
would be little chance of beating Mr.
Mulkey. But although ho has re
ceived so much favorablo comment
In this line, ho is not being Joked
this year and may slide through tho
campaign without any unduo notico
T)elng turned on his looks.
He will visit North Bend today in
company with Major Kennedy, and
tomorrow will leavo for tho trip
southward. While hero ho has mot
many of tho politicians and obtalnod
qulto an acquaintance. Ho was hero
Beveral years ago in company with
the light houso Inspector and at that
time waB favorably impressed with
the noui.try. Ho says ho likes tho
Coos Buy country and believes It Is
cmioin of great development.
Maxim Gorky's statement that
tuo Americans aro "a silent, gloomy
people" proves conclusively that ho
aidn't attond any college football
games while In the country.

GRAVENSTEINS ARE
NOW ON EXHIBITION
Fruit nnd Other Exhibits at Cham
ber of Commerce Are
Attractive.
Apples, plums, pears, cabbages,
coal, ore and boquets fill one of the
Chamber of Commerce windows
where Herr Lyons presides with the
dignity of a Judge and the surround
ings of a green grocer. Tho rumb
lings are beginning which Indicate
a really great fruit and vegetable
exhibit coming. Coos county is stir
red over tho Gravenstein question as
never before. Only It Is not a ques
tion but a fact that everybody seems
confident he can establish. The
Gravensteins in the Chamber of Com
merce window are great pomologt
cal products. There may be better
plums, better pears and better cab
bages, but the window is attractive
and simply awaits the best for the
contest. Professor Lewis of the
State Agricultural College will decide
on the exhibits. All exhibits should
be in by tho 9th of September. The
prize for the best box of Graven
steins will be awarded by the Judges
and tho box sold to F. B. Waito for
$20.00, and he will place the same
on exhibition in Portland, with due
credit to the producer, as Coos Bay
Gravensteins.

ASTORIA WILL TAKE
WISE PRECAUTIONS
To Fuiiilgntc Coastwise Ships, Guard
ing Against Introduction of
Plague from Hay City.
Astoria, Or., Aug. 25. In a very
short time all ships in the coastwise
trade entering tho Columbia River
will bo subject to a fumigating pro
cess as a precaution against tho bu
bonic plague, which has recently
broken out in San Francisco and
which Is said to bo raging in many
of tho provinces of Manchuria. These
fumigating periods will occur once a
month and may apply to foreign ves
sels according to their status.
Dr. John M. Holt, of tho Columbia
River quannntine station, with ofil
ces In this city, is the Instigator of
tho plan nnd ho will Issue necessary
orders or bulletins in a very few days
which will carry out this work. Such
precautions aro necessary on tho
faco, as bubonic plaguo Is quick to
spread and Is carried around the
world in ships. Tho medium of
transmission of tho plague germs Is
said to bo tho rats, which are to be
found In all ships in great numbers,
and Dr. Holt's plan Is to make a cam
paign against these nnimnls.
Vessels will bo required to fumi
gate once a month wlion thoy have
discharged cargo at tho dock. Tho
process Is to continue 12 hours,
when, Dr. Holt says, all tho rats will
bo killed. This order applies to all
vessels In tho coasting trado, and
foreign ve&sols will bo subject to tho
same regulations. Dr. Holt will have
an assistant In Portland to carry out
his plans, nnd all vessels entering
and destined for any port from As
toria to Portland will bo noted and
treated according to tho regulations
of tho quarnutlno olllcer.

WAGES RAISED TO
ATTRACT PICKERS
Krcbs Brothers Lure to Hopficlds by
Offer of $1.10 a Hundred
Pounds.
Krebs Brothers, who aro hunting
for hop-pickers In Portland this week
offer the highest price for pickers
ever paid within the past 17 years
$1.10 a hundred pounds. Tho rate
agreed on by tho hop-pickers of tho
state has been $1 a hundred pounds,
but Krebs Brothers go them 10 cents
better, even though prices for hops
are anything but encouraging this
season.
" We propose to start a train of
ten passenger coaches, loaded with
pickers for our Independence yarda
next Saturday morning," Bald Con
rad Krebs today. "We de?lro to
start In picking bright ami parly
Monday morning of next week, and
It will take somo little time for M,e
pickers to get their tent equipage
ready for business after they arrive
on tho grounds."
Many Portland families anj getting
ready for the annual outing which in
volves profit instead of expense, rid
hop-growers are confident of getting
all tho pickers they need Toward
the last of the week up-ricr boats
will be crowded with people of all
age3 and both sexes on their way to
the various yards along tho Will
amette river. The outing Is expected
to extend overVi period of three
weeks, as the crop is heavy, and when
the earlier yards aro picked the
workers can move to those which
ripen later.
The weather of the past few days
has been considered favorable to
yards where pest has not obtained a
foothold, but in infected yard1 the
crop is likely to be damaged should
moist weather continue much loi'gor,
according to growers spoken with
this morning. Damaged yards are
not likely to be picked, as the out
look for prices is not favorablo to
second grades. Telegram.

OPERATORS ARE
STANDING FIRM
Will Molloy Says Strikers Have Best
of Fight Companies Yet
Crippled.
Will Mnlloy, tho local Associated
Press operator who left Marshfield
when the telegraphers' strike opened
and went to Portland to observe It,
returned to Marshfield yesterday. He
had spent several days In this vicinity
In hunting before his arrival. Speak
ing of tho strike, Mr. Malloy said it
Is as strained as over, and the strik
ers seem to have the best of It In
many ways. Ho said that in Port
land, the Western Union claims to be
doing as much business as usual,
while tho strikers say the business is
less than a sixth of what it is under
usual circumstances. Mr. Malloy is
confident the strikers are going to
win out, as they have a very largo
strike fund and tho operators in gen
eral are standing out for the prin
ciples they went out for. He Is not
here to resume work, but says he
will be ready If there should bo a
stampede. Ho la kept posted regard
ing the progress of the strike by bul
letins mailed dally from Portland.
The reporter said to Mr. Malloy that
the valley papers are receiving dis
patches. He said they might be get
ting some but the great majority of
their news was old and the dates
raised.
INVENTS SOLDER
FOR ALUMINUM
Portland Man's Discovery Will Add
To Commercial Value
of Metal.
Portland, Ore., Aug. 23. Experi
ments that have been conducted in
Portland for the past few months
have resulted in what experts declare
to bo the first practical solder for
aluminum that has ever been found.
The inventor, Charles L. Durboraw,
Intends manufacturing tho solder
here in Portland and has protected
has discovery by patent papers until
such time as it can be 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 largely used as an alloy.
Solders Metal Tightly.
Durboraw's new solder, which ho
calls aluminum solder, Is very much
the same color as aluminum but is
somewhat heavier. It fuses readily,
but will not melt undei ordinary
heats, provided tho vessel of which It
is a part contains some liquid.
Specimens of aluminum sheets sold
ered tightly together by the new sub
stance are exhibited by Durboraw.
Apparently the solder adhers to tho
aluminum with all the strength dis
played by ordinary solder 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 the greater part
of his 27 years experimenting in me
chanics. His little home at 45 Grand
avenue is a treasure trove for the
man with a mechanical turn of mind
and some of the most interesting
things in it are patents that Dur
boiaw has taken out himself.
Inventor Has Other Patents.
Ho has been inventing things ever
since he was 19 years old and has
made considerable amounts at one
time and another which ho has de
voted for the most part in furthering
delving along the same lines. Among
tno better known devices that are en
tered to his credit in tho patent office
at Washington aro a railroad track
fastener now used on many roads
tnrougiiout the country, and a patent
nut lock.
Since tho discovery of aluminum
early In the past century Its use has
ueen restricted to an alloy to bo used
with other metals or to one-piece
articles owing to lack of a suitable
solder. Its light weight, which Is
only two and a half times greater
than that of water, would mako It
especially valuable for various kinds
of utensils and for general use where
lightness is desirable.
BON VIVANT GRILL
OPEN THIS MORNING
The Bon Vlvant grill will bo re
opened to tho public again this morn
ing under the management of Mr.
Wyatt, tho former proprietor. Ho
will bo assisted by tho well known
chof, A, Chartler, and the cuisine will
bo kept up to Its former standard.
BIG ORGANIZATION
WILL BUCK STANDARD
American Syndicate Organizing to
Develop Oil Lands in
Mexico.
New York, Aug. 27. Arrange
ments have been completed for the
organization of a $50,000,000 Amer
ican syndicate, according to an an
nouncement published today, which
plans to develop several million acres
of oil lands in Mexico. It Is the pur
poso to ship the product to Central
and South America, also to Europe
and Africa, in competition with tho
Standard Oil Company.
Tho syndicate will take over tho
Moxlcau Petroleum Company, which
wns organized In California in 1902,
and owns approximately 1,000,000
acres of land In tho state of Tamaul
plas, Vera Cruz and San Luis Potosl.
Moro than 100 gushers and wells are

SUIT BROUGHT TO
ENJOIN MARSHFIELD
The mayor and council of Marsh
field have ordered the Cedar street
try Jin minnpil In nnrnrilnncQ with
what Is known as tho Clement's pint
and this is tno occasion oi wnui
promises to bo quite a law suit. It
appears that back in 18 75 tho orig
inal townslto was laid out and a plat
of tho town wns recorded at the In
stance of tho town authorities, tho
plat having been prepared by S. B.
Carthcart. In 1883, E. B. Clement,
attorney in fact for J. N. Knowles,
caused another plat to bo mado which
differed slightly from the Cathcart
plat. In 1890, the Cathcart plat was
adopted by tho city. Mrs. Frances
McLeod owned certnln property on
Cedar street and conforming to tho
Cathcart plat, when the grade of tho
street was lowered built a costly re
taining wall around her property.
Tho city council have not returned
to tho Clement plat and as a result
it is the intention of tho contractor,
J. J. Burn3, to tear down tho retain
ing wall and change tho street. Mrs.
McLeod has begun suit to have the
mayor, council and contractor en
Joined from Interfering with her
fence, retaining wall or bulkhead,
grass, shrubs, vines and steps.

The Coquille base ball team of the
Coos Bay League played Bandon on
their diamond yesterday, and 13 to 1
tells the tale of how tho former took
the latter down tho line in tho last
game of the league season. Tho boys
who live by the deep, deep sea wero
hopelesly outclassed by tho county
seaters all through. But for two in
nings tho game was about even, fast
and snappy. Coquille went to bat
first. Lorenz got a hit. Paull got
a walk, and tho fireworks were on.
As tlie Leaders kept blng-binglng, the
little south fau looked worried, so
the team behind him went up in tho
air as fast as they could, and let Co
quille gallop around the bases till
they got about seven runs, which was
a pretty good lead. From that on
till tho sixth Inning there was noth
ing doing, as both teams played
fast ball. Collier seemed to have
them at his mercy, and his team
mates supported him in good shape.
Hohn pitched good ball till ho would
get In a hole, and then ho didn't seem
to know how to get out and his sup
port was weak at such times, and so
ended a very Interesting series of
ball games by the river boys of the
Coos County Base Ball League.
Batteries: Coquille, Collier and
Peralta; Bandon, Hohn and Page;
Umpire, Bedelllon. Time of game
one hour and fifty-five minutes.
Rev. Mr. Rushing, of Myrtle Point,

church in Coquille yesterday at 11

AGRICULTURAL TEXT
BOOKS ADOPTED
Slimmer School nt Oregon Agricul
tural College Will Discuss
Its Uses.
A summer school in Agriculture
will be held at tho Oregon Agricul
tural Collego beginning on August 2G
and continuing for six days. Special
ists In different branches of agricul
ture will glvo a course of lectures of
special Interest to public school
teachers. These lectures will be sup
plemented by demonstrations and ox
ercises In the fields, orchards and
laboratories to Illustrate the princi
ples taught. Those attending tho
School will have tho opportunity of
attending tho sessions of tho Benton
County teachers' Institute, which will
bo held August 29, 30 and 31, ar
rangements haying been mado to
hold the institute In the Collego
buildings during the hours the school
is not in session.
Tho public school teachers of the
state, as well as others Interested In
the work, are Invited to attend. The
purpose of the Summer School Is
primarily to assist tho public school
teachers of the state In preparing
themselves for teaching agriculture
In tho public schoofs. The State Text
Book Commission has adopted an
agricultural text book for uso in the
seventh and eighth grades of tho
schools, and as few of the teachers
have had any sneclal training In
scientific agriculture, and somo of
them probably without experience on
tho farm, it is important that they
mako some preparation for using tho
text book Intelligently. It is believed
that this summer school will bo of
material assistance to tho teachers in
preparing themselves for giving agri
cultural Instruction.
The services of specialists In differ
ent subjects of agriculture and the
college equipment for agricultural
work will bo utilized as far as possi
ble In tho summer school work.
"Is a bathing Butt a crime?" asks
a Toledo paper. It's not big enough
for that, we should think, though it
might easily bo a misdemeanor.
