MILL F0H1
KEEPS FUNDS
George E. White Is ' Man
Charged With Such
Misappropriation.
WAS TO PAY LABORERS
Wiggins M"1 Foreman Has Kvldcntly
Decamped With Over Three
Hundred Dollars.
Several worklngmen of the Plat B
neighborhood are concerned as to tho
whereabouts of one George B. Whlto,
foremau for the Wiggins Mill Com
pany, whoso prcsenco was greatly
desired tho forepart of the week, and
even yet. Tho men who are thus In
terested In knowing that White has
not fallen Into the bay or committed
suicide In some lrolated spot have
como to the conclusion that he has
absconded, since no trace of him can
be found about the bay.
The story from the men indicates
that White was given the money to
pay for work done In hauling logs
and working about the mill, on last
Saturday, Blnce when White has Tjeen
an elusive and unknown quantity.
The funds which were passed over to
him for payment of tho recent work
amounted to over threo hundred dol
lars. Tho men learned Monday that
there was something wrong and
forthwith started an investigation.
Mr. Whitney, who had been oversee
ing tho repairing and other work,
had started cast on receipt of a tele
gram informing him of tho serious
Illness of his daughter in Michigan.
He was intercepted at Roseburg by
telephone and questioned about tho
payment. Mr. Whitney Informed the
anxious parties he had turned the
money over to White and supposed he
had settled with them. He also
added that White had shown him re
ceipts evidently signed by those to
whom Whitney was indebted for tho
payments.
The men then came to the conclu
sion there was some crooked work
on the part of Whlto and so com
menced a search for him, which samo
has so far, been without xesult. Mr.
Stewart, father of two boys who are
interested in the matter, was seen
yesterday by a Times reporter and he
said tho men who had been left out
on the payment would put a lien on
the logs which have been landed at
the mill, probably today. This, how
ever, is a matter of form, and is done
to mako themselves absolutely safe,
since there might bo a question as to
where tho responsibility for the pay
ment would lie.
SAIN WILL WINTER
lll SOUTHERN CLIME
C. M. Sain, former editor of tho
Coos Bay Harbor, is on the bay for a
short visit. Mr. Sain has just re
turned from nn extended vacation In

Minneapolis, Toledo and Boston. To
gether these cities have more creo
soted wood pavement than all other

squaro yards, equivalent to nearly
eighty miles of pavement on a street

WIRELESS PLANNED
FOR 8 STEAMERS
Coast Craft to He Kqulpped
Within Ninety Days, Sajs
Weather Man.
Eight steamers plying up and
down tho coast will be equipped
with wireless apparatus in tho next
90 days, according to a letter re
ceived by District Forcaster Deals
this morning from Arthur A. Isbell,
Pacific Coast manager of the Massie
Wireless Telegraph company, of
Providence, Rhode Island, says the
Oregonlan. His firm has been
awarded tho contract to install the
plants. Aside from the President
the other steamers are the Rose City,
Geo. W. Elder, Roanoke, Governor,
City of Pueblo, Queen and Iroquois
When the plants have been in
stalled Mr. Isbell says the local
Weather Bureau can depend upon
receiving daily reports from the craft
at sea. Tho eight steamers will
cover every point of Importance be
tween San Diego and Tatoosh. The
Iroquois Is a tugboat, but the re
mainder of tho fleet handle freight
and passengers. Three of them, the
Rose City, Elder and Roanoke, will
operate out of Portland. The others
will run out of Puget sound to Cali
fornia ports and are owned by the
Pacific Coast Steamship company.
While tho service will prove of
vast benefit to tho owners of the
craft and traveling public, Mr. Beals
says tho reports will not assist him
to any appreciable degree in making
up the weather forecasts. He ex
plains that he receives dally reports
of the weather from the various
points along the coast, which will
contlnuo to afford about the same
service as will be forwarded from
the steamers, as the latter will never
be far off shore.
along the coast, which will continue
to afford about the same service as
will bo forwarded from the steam
er3, as tho latter will never be far
off shore.
But tho local Weather Bureau
will bo the only one along tho en
tire coast which will be in direct
communication with the eight steam
ers, a wire running from the Port
land ofllco to tho North Head wire
less station. Mr. Beals was the first
to take this matter of getting weath
er data from tho ships up with tho
Navy Department controlling the
wireless stations. The forecasters
at the several other weather stations
will have to bo content to get the
service in a round-about way.

NEW TRAINS ORDERED
BY COMMISSION
Oregon Service to Ho Iinproted South
Of Albany and East of
Pendleton.
Salem, Ore., Sept. 12. Orders
were made by the Railroad Commis
sion today requiring tho Southern
Pacific Company to put on a special
train out of Roseburg to make the
run to Portland whenever north
bound overland passenger train No.
12 is two hours behind schedule time
of arrival at Roseburg and also to
require the O. R. & N. Company to
run a passenger train each way dally
between Portland and Pendleton, the
eastbound train to leave Portland In
the morning and the westbound to
leave Pendleton in tho morning, and
requiring the trains to stop at each
station, either regularly or by signal,
for the accommodation of travel be
tween these and intermediate points.
Both of these cases came up for
hearing before the Commission and,
upon the Commission's own motion,
several weeks were taken to pass up
on numerous complaints that had
been entered against the service. Be
fore the hearing of the case against
Southern Pacific passenger train No.
12, which had not been running upon
time for several months, or rather
in anticipation of the hearing, the
company put on an extra train to run
out of Portland In the morning as
first section of No. 11 and double
back from Albany as first section of
No. 12, and this had the effect of
bringing No. 12 through on schedule
ever since. The new Pacific typo of
locomotive was also put upon these
runs and the trains have been regu
lar ever since, with few exceptions.
The Commission, however, does not
believe that the extra train to Albany
and return will give the relief sought
to passengers south of Albany, where
the trafllc is heavy, and believes the
special service should extend as far
south as Roseburg, hence the order.
The service on the O. R. & N. hear
ing was the result of numerous com
plaints charging Inadequacy and lack
of proper accommodations to passen
gers. The Commission orders in this
case that trains No. 7 and S be run
upon a schedule that will admit of
proper connections being made with
trains upon the Columbia Southern,
Condon and Heppner branches.
This order takes effect 30 days
from date or service of the order and
the Southern Pacific order within
20 days.
