latest Dr. Mingns stated this
afternoon that Martin's condition for
(ho lust twelve hours had remained
unchanged, and that this might be
talccn as u rather favorable sign than
otherwise. Heports from the hos
pital appear to be favorable for the
patient.
Hovering within the shadow of
death, Harry Martin, of Minneapolis,
...for the past two months employcdhy
the C. A. Smith Lumber company,
lies in the Mercy Hospital at North
Bend awaiting the end in an un
conscious condition. The base of his
skull was fractured by a fall of twen
ty feet whllo working on the new
mill yesterday nfternoon, and In
splto of the efforts of Bevcral physi
cians, his life is despaired of.
Since he was tenderly ..carried to
the hospital from the mill, Martin
has never recovered consciousness.
Drs. Mingus and McCormac did
everything Hi their power to revive
him, but without avail. They aro
satisfied that the young man has a
blood clot on the brajn from tho
violence of the blow to his head, and
Cat It is useless to attempt an oper
ation which could only end In speed
ing tho angel of death.
Martin was standing on a scaffold
ing, about twenty feet from the floor,
whllo whitewashing tho Inner part
of tho mill yesterday. In a lit of ap
l.avont nbbtracclon, or dizziness, ho
stopped backward from the board on
which ho was tandlng, and fell heav
ily to the floor below, lauding on his
bend.
Tho mill launch was speedily se
cured and tho Injured man was care
fully curled on board and hurried to
the hospital. Physicians wero called!
and nil speed was made In tho effJa-t
to bhvo bis life, The blow was tpo
powerful, however, mul slnco tho ow
ainlnatloii was niiino, tho physicians
hold out no hopes for his recovery,
tho announcement of the young
man's death being expected at any
moment.
Friends of tho unfortunato Martin
sat with him all during the night and
morning. They could not bear to
Jeavo him, and .great grief Is felt over
tho accident which It Is expected can
not end other than fatally. Tho mill
management s taking as much Inter
est In tho ease as anybody else, as
t,ho young may was considered very
bright, and had mnde numerous
friends since his sojourn in this city.
Martin's father in Minneapolis was
telegraphed for last night by tho
lumber company, which sent a mes
fliigo to its Minneapolis oflleo to fliul
him and Inform him of his son's con
dition. No word has been received
up to noon today.
Friends of Martin say that hU ago
Is about -- years. Ho was an un
usually Hue specimen of manhood
and came west for tho experience of
mill life. His fr.Mior is said to bo a
well to do brlekmuker In Minneapo
lis, and tho news of tho accident will
prove a heavy blow to his parents.

The steamship Delhi arrived in tho
harbor this morning from San Fran
cisco with about forty passengers,
and after spending a few hours at
the North Bend dock, arrived at the
Plant dock, at noon today In charge
of Captain W. E. Cousins. The big
boat also had considerable freight on
board. She will sail on the return
trip for 'Frisco tomorro morning at
8 o'clock.
The Delhi has been operating be
tween San Francisco and Seattle
previous to her arrival here in place
of the Plant, which is being over

mand of the steamer President,
which Is laid up at San Francisco at
present. He formerly commanded
the Arcada between this port and
San Francisco some twelve years ago,
and this is his flrst visit to Coos Bay
In that time.
"It certainly was with amazement
that I saw what had taken place at
North Bend since I was last here,"
said Captain Cousins. "There was
nothing but a forest tfiere when I
last visited the bay In charge of the
Arcada.8 The change In Marshfleld
has also been wonderful. I did not
know the place when we came In this
morning. Why, there Is quite a big
city growing up in the old place and
It certainly looks good to me."
Tho captain Is as jolly as ever and
Is the picture of health. His weight
has Increased with his good humor
and ho has numerous friends who
visiting him the Instant the ship ar
rived, who wished him tho compli
ments of the season and exchanged
stories with him over what had been
done in the last twehe years.

son of Henry Blake, the well known
Cooa River rancher shattered the

FRUIT GHEI
Secretary Lyon Visits Fruit
Sections of County Speaks
on Mail Matters.
Secretary Lyon, of the chamber of
commerce, made a trip to Myrtle
Point and Coquille on Monday and
returned home again yesterday at
noon. During his absence he c;n
fcrred with a number of fruit men 1l
tho Myrtle Point country, n'1
that they are heartily In favor ol
the appointment of an inspector of
fruit for the county,' an appoint
ment which will be made nt the
mass meeting to be held In the rooms
of the chamber of commerce next
Friday afternoon.
A number of the fruit men slg i
fled their Intention of being prejout,
and Dr. Pohl, of Myrtle Point, who Is
greatly Interested in the improve
ment of orchards, will probably bo
present at tle meeting to make a
short talk on the great good which
can be accomplished by having a
fruit inspector, and on fruit matters
generally.
Mr. Lyon said last night that he
had reasons to believe from what he
heard in Myrtle Point that Fenton,
the man who carries the mall from
Roseburg to Marshfleld, and who
also hns tho contract for carrying
the mail from Roseburg to Myrtle
Point, is anxious to swing the Coos
Bay mall over to Myrtle Point, and
have It brought hero by' that route
Instead of by Sumner as at present.
It Is said that Fenton would like
to have the contract prico for both
routes made Into one, and have the
mall all brought along on
tho one lino. Mr. Lyon said that
M.vrtlo Point was evidently being
favored In receiving its mail ahead
of Coos Bay, because ho read paper.

As far- as ho can learn there u
little ilifferenco In the roads on both
routes, except that the Myrtle Point
lino was more dangerous and a little

some discrimination in thedellvery
is probablo In order that the merg
