Find Vnlunblo Wood. A valuable
piece of Jenereso, a rare wood grown
in the Philippine Islands, has been
found on the sands opposite Pony In
let, according to a story from North
Bend. The timber Is several feet long
and a foot square and Is said to be
worth ?400. The wood was secured
by Messrs. Wernlch, Stanfleld, Gar
diner and Oakley. How the wood
came to be there is a mystery, as it
Is too heavy to float, and mut have
come from a wrecked ship.

nie Wlckman, Mamie and Leah El
liot, Arlandson, May Rozell; Mr. and
Mrs. Glenn Rozell.
More Pupils Present. About 20
new pupils put In an appearance at
the public school yesterday on occa
sion of Its opening after the holldavr.
They were all of tho lower grades
and prove that the population of
Alarshfleld Is growing steadily. What
It proves Is that more room is necs
3ary to accommodate the growing
number of pupils In this city. Nearly
all the lower grades arc .
away bejond their capacity, and an
agitation for more school room, like
the situation in North Bend, is prob
able In the near future. The same
teachers have leturned to resume
their duties at the local school since
the close of tho holidays.
Actilty in Ileal Estate During
the past few days real estate Is be
ginning to show signs of life after
a rather quiet spell and preparations
for numerous additions and tracts to
be put on the market are in progress.
Local real estate men are steadily en
gineering small deals and ono firm
disposed of about 35 lots a few
days ago at South Harbor. There is
no trouble disposing of real estate
within a reasonable distance of the
city providing that the figures aro
within reason. Every stage and
every boat continues to bring new
people Into this territory, very few
of whom fall to buy lots on which to
construct homes, or ranches or go
Into the dairying or fruit business.
Want Atheletic Club. The young
men of North Bend aro agitating the
organization of an athletic associa
tion and the erection of a club build
ing with gymnasium, water tank,
reading room and all the attractions
of a club with which to help the
young men to keep their bodies and
minds in good condition. It Is pro
posed to secure funds by popular
subscription and chargo a member
ship fee of $10 with twenty-fivo or
fifty cents a month as dues to sustain
fho cost of maintenance. Tho club
.vould havo chargo of all athletic
events participated In by tho mem
bers and tho revenues therefrom to
help tho current expenses. While
nothing has been accomplished as yet
much Interest Is being aroused in tho
project.
Celebrate With a Party About
fifty friends of Cyrus Steckol of East
Marshfleld gave him a surprlso party
on Saturday night tho occasion of his
thirty-second birthday. Tho party
crossed the Inlot and had an enjoya
ble evening.
Don't Get Frightened Tho now
fire whlstlo recently purchased for
tho fire department will bo given a
trial tomorrow night somowhero near
six or seven o'clock. Tho Instrument
of torture has been sot In position on
the top of the electric light plant, and
Its unearthly screaming will bo heard
for miles. It Is ono of tho biggest
siren whistles over brought to tho
coast. It has an eight-Inch boll, six
teen Inches long, and requires a two
Inch steam plpo. Tho sound com
mences low and rises to an awful
scream, and then goes down again,
Just as the lever Is worked up and
down. Tho flro department will not
respond to tho whistle,
'Want Mora School Room A peti
tion has been signed by tho requisite
number of freeholders in North Bqjid
asking for the issuing df ?40,000
bonds for the construction of an addi
tional school to provide for the grow
ing population of that busy city.
Tho present school building Is entire
ly inadequate to accommodate tho
laigc number of pupils and rooms in
I private buildings are being used to.
provide for the overflow. The school
board held a meeting last week and
tb... LiciK Will lbsuo notlco of an elec
tion on the bond issue shortly. From
the enthusiasm manifested in tho
project there Is little doubt that tho
election will provide for the construc
tion of an extra school. The remark
able part of scfhool conditions la
North Bend is that only three years
ago efforts were made to have tho.
big school now In use reduced to a
snfaller size. The most sanguine citi
zens have been surprised by tho
great growth of the city In such a
short period.
Much HtiildiiiK In City. During
the past few days of fine weather
the building operations which havo
marked the city's progress during the
past nine months have commenced
again with renewed activity with tho
commencement of the new year.
Every effort Is being made to rush
the work of construction on various
business and residential buildings,
and preparations are being made for
tho construction of new homes In
various parts of the city. It is rough
ly estimated that the buildings erect
ed in tho city during the year 1907
represent at a conservative estimate
the sum of $600,000. Judging from
tho wny work Is progressing at this
time of the year, this amount will bo
nearly doubled at the end of 190S.
Everything points toward progress
and prosperity In Marshfleld and tho
outlook was never better than it is
at present for both Marshfleld and
North Bend, Including the smaller
places on the bay and Inlets.
Claims Theft of Logs. Joseph En
dicott, brother of Moses Endlcott, tho
known logger of the Middle Fork of l
the river, was a, visitor in this city
yesterday and states his belief that
his brother's logs are being stolen by
different parties and are then sold to
tho sawmills at North Bend, His
brother's registered brand Is the "K"
brand, and Mr. Endlcott shj's he has
traced about $150 woi'th of k this
brand which have beenjsjrijlbtjg, the
Simpson Interests at 'NSrtwfuafid by
some parties claiming the brand as
their own. As Mr. Endicott's brand
Is registered, he does not believe
that there Is another "K" brand in
the county. If there Is he does not
believe thero is any use pf having a
resistored-brand-for logs... Jto moke
3ure that the county court has" not w'vCr'
Issued two brands of tho kind 'to
other parties In Coos County, Mr.
Endlcott will go to Coqulllo to mako
sure of this fact before bringing
charges against tho mill company for
tho prlco of tho logs, leaving tho
company to secure satisfaction from
tho parties who sold the purloined
logs.
