Numerous enquiries from eastern people re garding the coal deposits of C003 county are being received at tho chamber of commerce the past few days, and it is quite evident that this section Is becoming, famous all over tho United States for the varie ty and quality of its resources. Most of tho enquiries for coal are from Pennsylvania and Kansas people, who are asking for samples of tho deposits here, and tho possible quan tities available for investment. Steamer captains running Into this port from Portland and Frisco say that tho Coos county coal is becom ing known as tho finest quality to be found on the coast, and It is evi dent that tho news is traveling fast all over tho country. Indications at present arc that tho country will bo overrun with coal investors and prospectors with tho opening up of spring, while great activity is al ready being shown by the people of this district in opening up various properties.

Alliance Leaves Today The steamer Alliance, which left her dock yesterday at noon to go over the bar to Portland, found that the surf was so heavy at tho mouth of tho harbor that she returned to her wharf In this city and left this afternoon at 2 o'clock to try it again. The bar was unusually rough yesterday from tho effects of the heavy ocean winds, and the Delhi was pretty roughly handled by the seas.

Feels Like Spring New arrivals on Coos Bay were treated to a sam ple of the kind of weather produced In this section today, when "Old Sol" shone brighter than ho has done for many a day. Tho air was like that of spring and a number of citizens felt the spring fever in their systems. The bay was like a sheet of glass and tho bright sunlight enabled those who love sunshine a chance to bask in tho warm rays, which produced a sensation of ecstacy and pleasure in tho mere fact of being alive. Tho green grass and tho landscape of green trees made It appear Hko a bright summer day.

Tho chamber of com merce will let tho road have a good "bunch" of the booklets, but not a full fifteen thousand. Whistle Is a Success. The huge) siren whistle which will let the fire men of Marshfield know when there is a blaze, was given a trial last night and it was undoubtedly a suc cess. It could bo heard Hi all parts of the city and then some. Tho whlstlo started In a low monotone and then soared Into the highest and loudest of sopranos, descending to unutterable basso and repeating tho performance until It was certain that tho slron would not fall when called upon to do Its duty. That the whistle may be heard some dlstanco away Is certain, and a visitor In tho city of Bandon said that tho pcoplo of that burg heard it, and that it sounded like an Immense long distance sigh for a better mall service. E. K. Jones officiated at at tho christening of tho new sound creator by pulling tho throttlo that awakened the very hills. BIG BARGAIN RUSH AT MARSHFIELD STORE Merchant Bros.
