IS A STRONG INSTITUTION
Capital Hack of Enterprise Twenty
Times Hank's Capitalisation
Sure of Success.
Monday, October 21, will mark an
epoch in the history of Cooc Bay.
To tho average reader the simple"
opening of tho First Trust & Savings
bank may mean a small matter, but
when tho true inwardness of the
value to tho bay Is considered it
means more than can be estimated.
To explain the many and varied bene
fits would take up more space than
this paper has.
The benefits liable to be derived
from any business Institution is
usually judged from the personelle
of tho company. Where can you find
a set of gentlemen with more busi
ness integrity, probity and with a
reputation for fair dpallng, with the
vast amount of money back of them
to make any promise good, then
those whose names appear in the di
rectorship of tho First Trust & Sav
ings Innk? Thov are not In Oregon.
Read the name-i over carefully and
see If you can pick a flaw in the char
acter of any one of them, either as
to their personal character or finan
cial nbllity to meet any obligation
they may make.
Hero are the nnmes: John S.
Coke, president; W. S. Chandler,
Henry Sengstacken, Wm. Grimes, Dr.
W. C. Tower, Judge John F. Hall,
Stephen B. Rogers, Dorsey Kreltzer,
cashier, and M. C. Horton, vice pres
ident. Messrs. Horton, Grimes and Krelt
zer are tho only names not thorough
ly familiar to every resident In Coos
county, but they come with recom
mendations than which none could he
better. In a short time they will be
as familiarly, and as well known as
the old timers. Thev are educated to
the business, they ere rustlers, they
are trustworthy, and a decidedly val
uable acquisition to the bay. Their
whole heart, soul and money Is guar
anteed to make Coos Bay the great
cltv It Is hound to be.
As for the old rosidentrs who Is
it that does not know John S. Coke,
the genial, accommodating, trust
worthy president of the First Na
tional bank of Coos Bay?
W. S. Chandler, the ta"iturn, the
sturdy, always reliable and direct to
the point. His railroad training
makes him know the value of an
agreement.
Henrv Sengstacken, tho man who
has had his uns and downs and strug
gles as few have had, but who has
never lost his faith In Coos Bnv and
none ever heard him knock. Quiaf,
unassuming, but determined.
Dr. C. W. Tower, one of the most
modest of men, and who has never
been known to fail to meet an obli
gation when due.
Judge John F. Hall, reliable John,
a man that tho people of Coos coun
ty swear by to a man. The old resi
denters sav. "John, take care of this
for mo, will you?" They forget It,
hut tho .ludge nevpr does.
Last but not least is Stephen C.
Rogers, one of the old landmarks of
Coos Bny. A man of few words hut
with many pleasant smiles. Abso
lutely true to every obligation.
While this company is organized
for only $100,000, there is hack of
It more than twenty times that
amount that stands readv to make
good everv obligation mado by the
First Trust & Savings hank. It It
hard to tell what a man would want
who asked any better guarantee.
With everyone of the directors of
the organization vitallv interested in
the success of Coos Bay, and with
more than n million back of the or
ganization, The Times can see noth
ing but success for the First Trust (b
Savings bank.
VARMINTS KILT, MORE
GAME THAN HUNTERS
Albany, Or., Oct. 1 . . 6. Georgo B.
Wrhitcomb of the Big Bottom country,
says cougars are destroying more
deer In the foothills of the Cascades
than the hunters are killing. He re
ports that the entire number killed
by hunters last vear was about 125,
and many killed their limit. They
are not so plentiful this year and
few hunters have been able to kill
tho number of deer allowed by law.
The total is nlaced at 75 this year.
Tho report that the coyotes, coug
ars and wildcats have been extermi
nated is untrue and tho hills are
now nllve with them. They are the
cause of much damage nnd the resi
dents will demand of the legislature
at tho next session that tho scalp law
be re-enacted.
Comes from Oakland.
Mr. H. Stacy, Oakland representa
tive of the Coos Bay B. S. & B. Manu
facturing company, arrived hero yes
terday on the Plant and will remain
until the steamer's next sail
ing. Mr. Stacy says business is good
and the company is selling every ar
ticle It can put out.
Rabbi Hirsch Sounds Warning
Intended for All the
World.
COMPARED WITH RUSSIA
President Is Correct In Unrlng Cau
tion Worship of Wealth
and Power.
Chicago, Oct. 17. Fear for ' the
future i of the nation was expressed
by Dr. Emll G. Hirsch in his sermon
at Sinai temple today.
America In a worse condition than
Russia and the bloodiest revolution
of all his story is the peril
he regarded as threatened by tho
trend of the times.
Dr. Hirsch strongly indorsed the
position of President Roosevelt In
bis warnings against the growing
disrespect for the law. If the poli
cies of the administration could pre
vail, he said, the outlook would be
improved vastly.
Danger Confronting the Nation.
"The doctrines that the president
hf.s enunciated supremacy of the
law and protection of property, are
as old as the principles of Mosaic
law," declared Dr. Hirsch. "They
are merely a new phrasing of the
commandments, 'Thou shalt not
steal' and 'Thou shalt not covet.' In
giving them utterance our president
has not spoken as an alarmist, for
indeed a grave danger confronts this
nation. The same situation con
fronted tho world before the deluge.
The rich and powerful were banded
together to oppress the weak. Strong
remedies were needed then, and
equally strong ones are needed now."
"The moral progress of tho world
is not in one straight upward course.
Just as the human life runs with its
illnesses and slipping backward, so
the moral growth of the world goes
on with its high peaks and its low
plains. Our president is not exag
gerating when he sounds a warning
which to us indicates that the world
and nation has had a moral back
sliding. Too Much Worship of AVenlth.
"Among those who consciously or
unconsciously, have succeeded In
making themselves foowerful, there is
too much of a feeling that thev are
superior to the law and that It Is
merely to hold In check the weak.
Among this nation there is too much
of -a worship of wealth and pros
perity. We are too inclined to es
timate success In dollars.
"Such was the situation in ancient
Rome, more powerful than are these
with wealth. The senate was filled
with punpets and gold unlocked every
door. Rome fell. Hands are migh
tier than dollars and can tear down
any bulwark that wealth can build.
We have envv pitted against self
Idolatry and If a conflict comes, envy
will win and America will be in a
condition worse than Russia and the
bloodiest revolution of history will
sweep the country."
RUMORS FROM VALDEZ

Sailing.
Seattle, Oct. 17. Wild rumors
reached here yesterday that Valdez,
Alaska, was In the hands of an In
furiated mob of thousands of excited
laborers on tho ,Alaska Homo rail

counted by Alaskans and Alaska cor
porations having headquarters here.
The Northwestern Steamship com
pany's steamer Saratoga was to have
sailed today from Veldez with as
many of unemployed laborers as she
could carry. There Is great uneasi
ness among the Alaskans here.
Training for tho Contest.
James Faulkner and his boxing
contest are the topics most discussed

proves to bo Ralph Matson and the
two will get together on the 10th of
November and dispute with five
ounce gloves as to which is the bet
ter man froni a boxing viewpoint.
Ralph will commence training Imme
diately for J.he event with the
hope of reduclfrg to the 180 mark,
though he realizes it will take con
stant work and likely some denials.

o
Attempted Assassination
Chicago, Oct. 17. The police are investigating an alleged at
tempt to murder Emll Pampo said to have been a wealthy man
of Naseal, Durango county, Mexico. Pampo claims he was fired
at five times this morning by an unidentified man whilo walking
in the street near Lincoln. Ho declared the man who fired at
him was the same man who several days ago approached him
saying that he was tho agent of President Diaz and offered him
$5000 to reveal tho hiding place of J. Jeruegui, said to have
been foremost in the revolutionary movement. Ho refused tho
oiler and was threatened with death. Pampo fainted when fired
nt. Tho pollco decided to hold him and investigate further. No
one saw the attack, hut tho Bhots were heard by various persons,
including a policeman who was then two blocks distant. When
the officer appeared, the alleged assassin had disappeared. (
Heard Yesterday in Judge
Upton's Court.
Judge Upton's court was yester-
day the scene of an unusual case at
law. It was a conglomeration of
It was i conglomeration of

Spltzer was a living example, and

was to the effect that Mr. Spltzer

an
letters were read to the court which
showed that Free had been for tho
nafat three years a shadow which
every member of the family feared
Threats and appeals were common
in tho letters, and the last letter was
a despairing appeal for Mr. Spltzer
to either pay him $1000 for dam
ages to his feelings or else meet
him at Bandon on tho wide beach
and there with swords, pistols or
whatever weapon suggested itself to
Spitzer, settle the matter once ana
for all.
Messrs. E. L. C. Farrln and J. W.
Snover appeared for the prosecu
tion and Free had no attorney.
Mrs. Snitzer told of Free's haunt
ing her footsteps In Idaho and In
Marshfleld and said she had become
bossessed of the idea that he was
likely to become dangerous, xnero
was no reflection on Mrs. Spitzer
brought out in the trial. Free had
simply considered her an enemy who
was trying to sepnrate mm irom uie
woman ho cared for. All the evi
dence pointed ono way to tho con
clusion that Free had been an un
welcome and persistent suitor at
Miss O'Daniels' shrine.
When the evidence was nil In, At
torney Farrin suggested to the court
that tho prosecution preferred to
have sentence suspended until tho
prisoner could bo taken before Judge
Hall and examined for his sanity.
The court agreed to the suggestion
and the matter will be brought up
today.
Free was a witness before the
court,, and told his story in broken
Gorman. Ho reviewed tho caso
from his first acquaintance with
Miss O'Daniels in Idaho threo years
ago, until the present time. Much
of his testimony was irrelevant and
without any connection with the
caso at bar, assault and battery,
but It was allowed since the prisoner
had no attorney to direct his case.
Judge Upton interrupted him several
times and told him to arrive on Coos
Bay as Boon as possible, and the
prisoner agreed to cut the story as
short as posslblo without spoiling
any of tho details. Free's testi
mony showed that beyond a doubt
he was simply a man crazed with a
hopeless infatuation and was really
a fit candidate for the asylum.
During his story, on cross exami
nation, he was asked if there was
ever any insanity in his family. H'a
answer was, no. But he went on to
explain trat statistics showed that
tew men m tho aggregate of human
ity weto without some vagary or an
other, wlich statement appealed to
Ihi tptclalors as evidence of his
having coutldered the matter of iu
e.mity rju.le seriously.

SH0RTRIDGE MAKES
STARTLING CHARGE
San Joso Editor Says Congressman
Hayes Burned His Home for
the Insurance.

Shortrldge, ex-stato senator, editor
of the dally Times and former owner
of the Mercury, was arrested at noon
today on complaint of Congressman
"Taves on a charge of criminal libel.
The action grew out of an assertion
made by Shortrldge in a public
speech last Thursday evening that
had information that Hayes had
burned his former mansion at Eden
vale for tho Insurance, which state
ment together with other serious
accusations were published in Short
rldge's paper tho following morn

ball at $1,500. Shortrldge was re
leased this afternoon by Superior
Judge Richards on his giving tho
bond required.
A Mud Hen Diet.
Most everybody on Coos Bay
knows Curry, tho barber, but every
body doesn't know his peculiarities.
There Is not a sportsman on the bay
who kills half tho ducks ho does, but
it is a venture that ho eats less of
them than anybody. A duck has no
show that gets within range of his
gun. He rarely ever comes back
with less than a dozen brace, but you
will always see in that bunch a mud
hen or two. He will pass out tho
ducks to his friends, but he holds
onto the mud hen overy time. That
Is his meat. It is his preferenco al
ways. Ho says tho people generally
don't know that It is tho best fowl
on tho water. Ho presented tho ad
vertising man of Tho Times with a
fine duck yesterday, has promised
him a piece of cooked mud hen and
to Initiate him Into tho mysteries of
the culinary preparations. If you
see him beginning to turn spotted
don't feel alarmed.

North Bend Chamber of Com
merce Favors Clarke Plan
of Combining Interests.
COMMITTEE IS APPOINTED
Neighbors Will Confer With Marsh-
Hold Committee With a View of
Joining Hands.
The North Bond Chamber of Com
merce met in the Miller & Cleaver
business1 college rooms with a large
representation present. President
Evans was in the chair. After the
reading of tho minutes of the last
meeting President Evans noticed tho
fact that the president of the Marsh
field Chamber of Commerce was
present and that a committee, com
posed of Messrs. Clarke, Snover,
Sehlbrede, Oren and Llljeqvlst, was
also in attendance from tho same
body, and desired to present a matter
for the consideration of tho North
Rend chamber. President Evans
then proposed that tho North Bend
chamber suspend Its business for a
time to listen to the visitors and on
motion It was voted that the presi
dent's suggestion bo adopted.
Dr. McCormac was first called on
nnd expressed his pleasure that the
North Bend chamber would hereaf
ter hold Its meetings on Thursday
instead of Friday. Ho was glad that
he could have the privilege of meet
ing with the North Bend chamber

u H believed they should act

with a common Interest In Coos Bay.
He stated thnt a ommitteo of fivo
had been appointed on tho Friday
preceding to look into tho borough
nlnn of uniting the cities of the pen
insula and absorbing tho territory
around the bnv. This nlan had been
advised bv Franeis H. Clarke of
Mprhfleld nnd wns the result of his
letral sttidv of tho sublect. It hod
met with the approval of tho Marsh
fleld chamber and It was hoped thnt
It would meet with approval of the
Morth Bend noople. Fe suggested
that n eotnmlHee of five bo appointed
by the North Bend chamber to mnfT
with the eommitteo of tho Marsh
field chamber.
Tho president then called on
Francis II. Clarke, chairman of tho
eommittee of the Marshfleld cham
ber. Mr. Clarke reminded the North
Bend chamber that he was a life
member of their body and that the
North Bend chamber would have to
last as long as he did. Ho then
proceeded to describe tho helpless
ness of tho people of Coos Bay to
take care of their bay from a legal
point of view nnd explaining the bor
ough n.inn of government as exempli
fied by the city of Greater Now York.
Tho address nnd plan were substan
tially tho same ns set forth In Mr.
Clarke's address to the Marshfleld
chamber which appeared In full In
Sunday's edition of Tho Times.
Judge Sehlbrede was called upon
nnd expressed himself as heartily In
favor of tho borough plan and be
lieved that tho mnin subject for Coos
Bay people to consider was tho Im
provement of tho harbor of Coos
Bay. He could see how this system
would overcome many objections
which might he urged by men who
felt anxious to retain tho identities
of the several towns. For his part
ho considered that all who resided on
Coos Bay should unite for tho bay
and Its advantages above all other
things,
Mr. Laurence Llljeqvlst was called
for and mado an eloquent and logic
al plea for tho union of tho soveral
cities and gave his unqualified ap-
fproval of tho borough plan of or
ganizing tho great city of Coos uay.
Mr. Oren stated that tho subject
was new to him and he desired to
be excused from speaking, but the
plan seemed a strong ono.
Mr. Snover was called upon and
mado a strong, cogent and logical
argument In ravor of consolidation
on some plan and accepted tho bor
ough plan as tho ono least likely
to meet opposition and cause fric
tion. Ho took up tho policy of the
bay as ono important featuro and
gave many illustrations of how help
less tho cities of tho bay wero in
controlling tho harbor.
Mr. H. C. Diors, of tho North
Bend chamber of commorce, mado a
strong address in favor of tho
borough plan and gavo statistics to
show Its great importance. Ho es
pecially noted the fact that several
smaller cities than North Bend or
Marshfleld hal larger territories
than was embraced In tho whole pen
insula. Ho outlined tho work of
the port eommitteo of tho two cham
bers and moved that a eommitteo
of fivo bo appointed to act with tho
Marshfleld committee with instruc
tions to report back a plan of con
solidation ho as to cover tho harbor
with recommendations, Tho mo
tion was adopted without a dissent
