Education Board Opens Cam
paign for Full tfigh School
and More Room.
SEGREGATE THE MIXED
Professor Golden Authorized to Pro
vide School for Negroes and
Mixed Races.
The Marshfleld board of education,
consisting of R. P. Williams, J. W.
Bennett, Dr. J. T. McCormae and
Judge Hall, clerk, met on Monday
evening to devise ways and means
Jnr handling the situation regarding
the overcrowding of the Marshfleld
schools, to discuss the wisdom of ar
ranging for adding two years to the
high school and to provide schooling
for the colored and mixed blood pu
pils. The Marshfleld school building has
twelve rooms, four of which were ad
ded to the building in 100G, and
which addition the board thought
would suffice for a number of years.
But the wonderful and steady growth
of the city in 1907 has upset all
their calculations and the building Is
already found to be inadequate for
the accommodation of the puipls
now attending the school. There
are now between 490 and 500 pupils
and this week is expected to bring
tTie attendance to the 500 mark. The
school rooms will accommodate 480
pupils, and if there were no more ex
pected to take up the work, the pres
ent quarters would be insufficient, by
reason of the unequal division of
grades. Some rooms have as high as
05 children, and all are crowded.
Professor Golden, who was present at
the meeting, said ho is advised of
there being at least 50 more pupils
who will be enrolled In the school
within a couple of weeks, and besides
these, there' are a hundred more wno
should bo in school and will probably
be rounded up by the truant officer
when the accommodations are such
that they can be cared for.
The board decided to secure a site
for a now building and the location
will be somewhere in South Marsh
field, probably west of Broadway.
It has not been decided of what ca
pacity this building will be made,
since there are several matters to
consider before the work of construc
tion can begin.
The board has issued a call for an
election to be held in the school
building on the 31st of October for
the purpose of submitting to the
voters of the district the question of
adding two years to the present high
school, thus putting the school on a
plane with the best high schools in
the state. The election will be held
commencing at 7:30 in the even
ing. If the proposition carries, which
seems the onlv result likelv to come
from the election, then the board can
go ahead and build according to the
will of the people as expressed. It
is argued by many that any new
building should be a high school
building, since such a division of the
school pupils gives the higher grades
something more of a dignity, being
better by far than having the high
school mixed up with the lower
grades.
There have been many favorable
comments since the board has taken
action looking towards improving the
situation, for though the directors'
hands are tied to a great extent, the
need for more room is conceded on
every hand and the matter of a full
course nigh school is recognized as
an immediate necessity.
The board took the following ac
tion respecting the ticklish matter of
schoollne the colored and mixed
blood children:
Whereas, an application has been
made to Professor Golden, principal
of the public school of this district,
to admit two negro children and two
children of mixed blood, between the
Chinese ond the whites and the In
dians and the whites to the public
school.
And whereas, Professor Golden
not having the accommodations
which to him seems suitable for said
children, apart from the white child
ren, did not admit them to the
school, and applies to the board for
instructiono.
And whereas, It Is the sense of the
hoard that the said children should
not. under the law, he denied anv
public school privileges, on account
of race or color.
And whereas, the principal reports
to the board, and the board is of the
opinion that on account of the physi
cal condition of snld children ond
their lack of cleanliness, their pres
ence In tho white classes will ma
terially retard tho progress of the
five hundred white children now In
attendance In their school duties.
Now, therefore, be it resolved, that
the nrlnclpal of the school be, and ho
48 hereby authorized to provide
proper means for these negro and
mixed blood children, hv renting a
separate room where said children
can be taught and that a suitable
teacher be employed for their in
struction; and do nil things in ac
cordance with this resolution as he
may see fit, to seo that equal prlvll-

hundred inhabitants, all more or less
wounded, remain to gather the
scattered household goods and sleep,
under tents guarded by soldiers of
the state. Without warning, the
powder mill blew up at 9:15 this

and of these, 75 were at work when
the first explosion occurred In the
press mill. In quick succession, the
glazing mill, two coring mills and
the powder magazine blew up, fol
lowed by the cap mill. In the maga
zine, situated several hundred yards
from the mill were stored 4,000 kegs
of powder. The concussion, when it
blew up, was felt 200 miles away.
Every house in this town was shat
tered. Farm houses two miles away
and school houses at various dist
ances were torn to pieces and their
occupants Injured. Indianapolis and
even Cincinnati felt the shock. A
passenger train on the Big Four,
four miles away, had every coach
window broken and several passen
gers were Injured by flying glass.

Mr. D. W. Small, who came in yes

there were, as the bears were to the
windward and scented him before he

There was one old bear, four year

cubs, in running away, fell across
a fallen tree and was stuck for a
time. Mr. Hamilton might have
captured him, but he was not quite
certain how he would have fared

Chicago, Oct. 15. E. H. Harriman
was today deprived of the voting
power of 286,731 shares of Illinois
Central stock in the annual meeting
of that ratlroad to be held tomor

practically Identical with tho modi
fication asked for by tho attorneys of
Harriman. Both sides claim a vic
tory, Fish because tho enjoined
shares will not be effective at the
election, and Harriman because his
modification was secured. The
shares of stock ruled out are those
held by tho Union Pacific railroad,
the Railroad Securities company of
New Jersey and the Mutual Life In
surance company, against which a
temnorary Injunction was yesterday
Issued by Judge Ball. The court to
day modified the order permitting
the shares to be voted on condition
that if any one of these shares should
have a decisive effect on anv vote
taken, the entire voto is to be null

FIVF DOLLAR BILL
IS STILL MISSING
About that five dollar bill that
Mr. Cameron, the advertising man
for the Times, lost last week, there
is still a mystery or a problom un
solved. It is true he lost the V all
light, but where or how is another
proposition. Recent developments
have led him to believe that there Is
a microbe in the air working along
tho mysterious or "presto presto
change" lino. Either that or some
one is carrying a powerful rabbit
foot. His opinion Is that the $5
Is on the hunt for three twenties
that Charllo Kronholm lost last
week. Charlie very carefully placed
three $20 gold certificates in an en
velope In his Inside pocket that Is,
he thinks he did. Tho five and the
sixty are gone, that is sure, but wno
has the money is what Kronholm and
Cameron wants to know. Is It the
man with the rabbit foot?
Ota top of all this misfortune along

The gentleman introduced himself as

about 7 p. m. Tho Dr. failed to

he will have to refund tho noney on

lots have doubled In price, and tho
Dr. wants to make a donation.
These aro a few of the woes of
the advertising man.

NEW CHANNEL WILL
OPEN NEW COUNTRY
Proposed Chniuiel nt North Inlet
AV&ild Make Wonderful Change
in Products.
Mention was made in yesterday's
paper about a dredging proposition
on North Inlet. Further investiga
tion into the matter develops more
extended notice Is due to tho Import
ance of the enterprise.
People on the bay frequently com
plain of the difficulties hero In get
ting what they want in the way of
building material delivered and then
having the building constructed.
Mr. John Bear, one of the pldn
eers of Coos Bay, who owns a fine
ranch up North Inlet, the end of the
proposed canal, can tell you of a
harder struggle to get a' house. He
determined last spring to build a
good house on his place, bought tho
lumber and engaged for transporting
the material. One week's hard work
showed a result of 700 feet on tho
ground. He gave It up, and who
wouldn't?
Few people on the bay, oven the
old residents, appreciate tho value of
North Inlet and Ten Mile coun
to the bay It is not exaggera-
"on to say that it is the garden spot
of Coos county.
Tho beautiful, rich and prolific
Coquillc valley is not the superior to
that country. Few of our readers
know that all that section of the
country is a series of good bottom
rior on earth.
In 1867 a forest firo burned over
all that section. Today that same
land Is covered with a truly wonder
ful growth of fir and alder, showing
a remarkably strong and deep soil.
That wonderful growth of verdifro
seems nn awful thing to tho novice,
but to a man who has had experience,
in clearing such land 'It Is simple,
easy and comparatively Inexpensive.
It will ho cleared as If by magic and
supplying tho people of tho bay with
all tho vegetables, fruit, chickens,
eggs and dairy products they can
use and some for shipment at a truly
insignificant cost, if thoy will use a
little foresight and thought.
What Is needed to work all this
wonderful change? Nothing. That
is nothing but good transportation.
How much will It cost? Fivo thou
sand dollars' is the estimate to
extend the dredging to Bear's Land
ing. And $2,100 of that amount has
been raised by John Bear and a very
few others. Tho county should help,
Marshfleld should help, North Bend
should do her share and everybody
push.
And why?
Because tho result will bo the
opening up of a vast field of acres
that will produce lust what tho
market on tho bay demands. Along
that canal would be opened up the
finest cranberry proposition known.
It is speaking advisedly when it Is
said that it is the best cranberry land
on earth.
The county can well afford to help
this matter along. For every dollar
she puts Into this project sho will got
ten hack. Is not that a good invest
ment? It shortens tho dlstanco to
Ten Mile over three miles and re
duces tho elevation 225 feet. As a
summer resort, or as a productive
proposition, Ten Mile has no supe
rior, and tho closer you bring it to
Coos Bay tho better Coos Bay and
the county aro off.

New York, Oct. 15. That Hole
Maloney Is tho victim of a carefullr
planned conspiracy is the belief now
hold by her closest friends. After
days of investigating, these person
are inclined to the opinion that in.
his campaign to induce her to leavo
her family, homo and friends with
him, Samuel Clarkson, tho young
Englishman with whom she diss
appeared, had the aid of othors de
sirous of sharing tho $5000,000 she

and as much more as tho family

him to drop out of her life.
This fund, In the form of negoti

learned of It in England soon after
ho mot her.
"As tho matter stands," said Wil
liam J. Fanning, counsel for Martin
Maloney, tho girl's father, "wo are
no nearer to finding tho girl than
wo were a fow days ago. Until she
Is found wo cannot decide what Is to
bo done. All we are trying to do Is
to find her and what her situation

ClaikHoii Looks Up tho Family.
In line with tho theory that others
wore Involved with Clarkson In his
plan to win tho nffections of tho
girl, It Is pointed out by her friends
that other than the woman who in
troduced him to Mrs. Maloney In
Paris, they had not a single friend
In common. Tho Philadelphia
woman, who Introduced him, know
llttlo of him other than she had met
him through a friend.
Further, it has beon pointed out
m,o ninriisnn knew n croat deal
about tho Maloney family and their
affairs for one who was a new ac
quaintance, Indicating that at least
ho had looked tho family up care
fully. Clarkson entertained exten
sively in London, Introducing many
of his friends, and gave tho lmprcs
cion of owning largo estates.
For Miss Maloney's acceptance ot
Clarkson as a suitor aftor her mar
riage to Osborn an explanation Is
mdao by Fanning. Ho points out
that the rules of the Roman Catholic
church do not consider marrlago by
a justice ot the peaco to ho valid
and that Helen being a catholic,
hold to this view.
"From what I know of Helen,'
said Mr. Fanning, "I am Inclined t
think sho took tho Mamaroneck

her religious training not binding.
