COAL MINERS FOR BEAVER HILL MINE About 25 men to work In the Beaver Hill coal mine at Coos Bay left on the Breakwater last night. J. A. McDonald, representing the Southern Pacific Company, has been In Portland for the last few days, trying to get men to work in the mine. He says he is having all sorts of difficulty, as labor appears to be In demand In every section just now. "The Beaver Hill mine is owne'l by the Southern Pacific," said Mr. Mc Donala, "and will be worked to full capacity this season if a sufficient number of miners can be employed. There are about 200 men working in the mine now, and 2000 are need ed. The company Is planning to make Tegular shipments of the product to Portland and other coast ports. Be ginning Sept. 1, the Breakwater's north-bound freight will consist of coal principally. She will carry some COO tons In addition to other Coos Bay products." The Coos Bay coal is said to be of good grade. While most of It sent to Portland (will be used by the Southern Pacific, part of the fuel will be sold for domestic purposes. Telegram. SHULT2 AND DAVIS ARE PLEASED WITH DECISION There seems to have been some inlbiinderstanding as to the effect of the recent decision in tho case of Shultz-Davls against the Southern Pacific company which came before the State Railroad Commisbion. The word wont out that tho Southern Pacific was well pleased with the out-como-and peoplo'had tho impression that the local wholesale firm was beaten. Shultz-Davls say they were more than pleased with the decision, since tho order reduces the tariff from hero to Myrtle Point and Co quillo 40 per cont, and this was all they were contending for.

The Chamber of Commerce of Marshfield is going to hold a fair to encourage growers of fruit and veget ables, and will offer prizes for tho best display. This would be a good plan for tho Coqullle Board of Trade, or what is left of them, to follow. It would encourage growers to put forth their best efforts in raising No. 1 fruit and would also advertise this section of tho county. The Wilson stage will leave Marshfield - for Roseburg Monday, Sept. 2. PLANT WILL SAIL SUNDAY AFTERNOON The steamer Plant will leave San Francisco on Sunday at four o'clock, and will sail, from Marshfield on Wednesday. The ship will come n with a new dress, being now on the ways for re-palnting. Mr. Dow, the local agent, says the Plant will have a clean bill of health, and that a particularly interesting thing about the Plant In a time when plague in fection from rats is feared is the fact that there are no rats on the ship. Tills freedom from rats Is explained by the phosphorus ballast which the ship carries, as the rats will not re main aboard a ship with such bal last.

Tho Central Oregon Transportation Com pany has almost completed a roadbed from Madras to Shanlko and will bo ready to put tho train Into operation immediately upon its arrival. Two of the principal owners of the concern that manufactures the heavy road engines and cars were here a few days ago and went over the road with tho promoters of the new com pany In order to prevent any possi bility of the failure of the project. With tho exception of tho Cow can yon grade the manufacturer pro nounced the roads perfect for such an enterprise. The work of making this grade safe has been a heavy and costly task, but has almost reached completion. The wagon road through this canyon Is narrow and dangerous for horse drawn vehicles at times and seemed at first a great obstacle to tho moving of this road train, which alone weighs many tons. However a road has been constructed up the bottom of the can yon. In one Instance a fill was made that is twenty feet or more in depth. Material of all kinds has been easily obtained and the new grade will be completed at a cost of about $1,500, or several hundred, dollars less than the original estimate. The work of harvesting in the Madras country has been In progress for several days and the farmers are anxiously awaiting the coming of this new mode of transportation In order to market their crops.

After an exciting race in which It broke all records for speed, the steamship City of Pueblo, of the Pacific Coast com 1 pany, reached Nome ahead of tho Northwestern and captured the ?25, 000 prize in the form of 500 passen gers that were waiting at Nome for transportation to Seattle. The City of Pueblo left Seattle two days ahead of the Northwestern and covered the trip of 2780 miles in six and a half days. Her average speed was. 15. 3 knots an hour. The North western was handicapped by starting two days late. The vessel was delay ed 24 hours because tho Pacific Coast company in Seattle claimed It had no coal to spare, and tho Northwestern had to bo towed to Tacoma to coal up. Besides the 500 passengers, the City of Pueblo will bring $800,000 in treasure. Tho race was one of tho most ex citing in the history of shipping on Paget Sound, and much interest was aroused over tho contest. The own ers of the Northwestern expected to make up the two days, because the Northwestern just came out of dry dock where it had been completely overhauled, whllo thoy said tho City of Pueblo was "dirty" and could not stand the strain, but tho Pacific Coast vessel put up too hot a pace for the Northwestern.
