Present Congress.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 31,
1907. It may be Interesting to read
ers of Tho Coos Day Times to learn
that there Is considerable grounds
for our belief that there will be a
river and harbor bill passed at this
spsslon. Speaker Cannon, Mr. Bur
ton, chairman of the Itiver and Har
bor committee, and several others
Who have practically the matter in
charge, delivered eloquent and force
ful 'addresses at the National Con-
gress, organized for the purpose of trip to this port as she will be over
advosating larger appropriations for hauled and In fine shape within a
such impoyements; and as they pro- few days. The Delhi will leave here
Hosed fifty million a year to bo set for San Francisco Friday morning at
aside to improve the water ways of 9 o'clock. The following is the pas
our nation, the friends of such en- B.nger HSt of arrivals:
terprlse are very hopeful that such a Eric Anderson, C. C. Nordenhaus
resolution will pass; and during the Qn G c, Bickford and wife, W.
hpliday season representatives and Doyiei a. F. Cubbs and wife, J. H.
senators have been discussing tho Snyder, Mrs. Caprlcello, It. Green, J.
matter, but so far there has not ap- L smith, J. C. Green, Miss Merriman,
peared any opposition. In caso the Mr3. W- L Latrd, jilss M. C. Wilcox,
bill passes, tho question then will z E sheever, C. E. Martin, G. Bar
arise as to how much of that great stronl j. Smith, W. J. Smith, B. F.
sum will be allotted to Coos County, Cooiey, Ar. H. McKay, J. Rogers, A.

J. W. Dennett, of your city, as vice-1 yesterday.g storm put the Western
president for Oregon. There was n . UnUm wlVf.d out o commission and
disposition to give it to Portland, ' ThQ T,me3 ls compelled to go to press
Seattle or San Francisco. There t()day wlthout its customary Assocl
were were about fifteen hundred del- ated PreE3 rep0rt.
egates to the congress. The spacious '
and elegant auditorium in that mag-1 nEPinpDATQ M I
nincent structure, the New Willard, ULIV.UUrfA WILL
was well filled. The space assigned! IVILfcl IN orUtxftHIC
to each state was designated by a '
banner with the name of tho com-1
monwealth in gold letters on a blue
background, but Oregon had two
chairs occupied, Joseph Teal, of Port-
land, and tho writer. However, Con
gressman Hawley kept us company a
portion of the time. The addresses
were eloquent and strong, even Mr.
Hill, the railroad magnate talked
over an hour advocating the necessity
of more improvements In our water
ways. His address was practical and
strong. When the congress called at
the White House the President de
livered an address which showed that
lie was in hearty accord with tho
proposition. Therefore Coos County
1ms grounds to believe that good for
tune ls in store for her harbors. Mr.
Hawley, our new representative from
the first district, has got well into the
harness and has already left a good
Impression with his co-workers, and
we predict for him a brilliant
career at tho capital. In fact our
state has a splendid delegation to
look after his interests and wo be
lieve they will work for every section
no matter how remote It may be.

Found Drowned in Four Feet
of Water Under Railway
Trestle.
Details of the accidental death of
John Dolan yesterday afternoon In
dicate that he came to his death
from drowning, as the result of a fall
or fainting spell while working on
a box car back of the railroad dock
yesterday at noon. The .deceased
had been engaged In packing the
axle box of the car and his tools
lay In order as though he had pre
pared to go to lunch.
The body was found below the
trestle work of U10 tracks, which
were level with the water at high
tide and four feet from the ground.
In order to reach the water he had
to go through tho space between the
ties, which was about a foot and a
half, and it ls thought that he could
have saved himself from falling
through unless he was stunned, or
had been attacked with vertigo.
The deceased was not seen by
any other employes of the railroad
from 11 o'clock until the remains
were pulled out of the wator, which
was about 3 o'clock. When he did
not return home to his midday meal
efforts were made to locate him
somewhere around the dock. The
position of his tools, close to the
water, gave ri3e to the suspicions
that he had fallen In the wator.
Clyde Cardell and a party of em
ployes at the docks engaged In the
search and after a short while the
former located tho body of the un
fortunate man lying beneath the
tracks In about four feet of water,
at a point where two box cars were
fastened together. It was at this
point tho deceased would have com
menced to climb to the dock had he
been on his way home, and it Is
thought that he slipped and stunned
himself and fell Into the water.
The remains were laid out and
Coroner Mlngus was called. He sum
moned a jury which commenced to
act last evening and resumed Its work
today.
Father Donnelly, of whose church
the deceased was a member, was no
tified, of the sad fatality, with a re
quest that he would notify Mrs. Dol
an of the accident.
The deceased had been employed
as car Inspector and repairer for the
local railroad company for about two
years. He was originally from Ota
wa, Canada, and came to Oregon and
resided on the Umpqua river nearly
twenty years ago. He was engaged
In ranching and various occupations
previous to coming to the city, where
he was well known and had many
warm friends. Ho was especially
noted for his clean honesty In all
business transactions and his word
was his bond.
The deceased was a momber of the
Woodmen of the World In which ho
was prominent and this organization
will probably take a leading part In
the funeral ceremonies. He leaves a
wife and three children, two sons
nearly grown and a daughter. He
also has two brothers, Peter and
Michael, who live at Gardiner and
who were notified of tho fatality yes
terday afternoon.
The comfortable homo of Mrs. Dol
an Is located opposite the Odd Felr
lows' cemetery andi numerous friends
and neighbors of the family are
sympathizing greatly with tho latter
In their grief over tho loss they sus
tained yesterday. Tho deceased is
said to have amassed qulto a fortune
In tho past few years and leaves his
family well provided for.
Mrs. W. Blanchfield, of this city,
Is a sister of the drowned man.
The verdict of the coroner's Jury
which finished its consideration of
tho case this morning at 10 o'clock,
was that the deceased came to his
death from accidental drowning,
caused by his falllpg, ipto the, wa.ter
from a blow In the side received from
an unknown source, tho supposition
"being, that, liq sllnped and struck,
