IT CAUSES -COMMENT HERE
Ji. J. Simpson is Still Acthc in An
Efforts to Induce Portland Firm
To Do the Work nt this
Point.
"Colonel S. W. Rocssler forwarded
a recommendation to the department
at Washington this morning that the
bid of $80,000 received from tho
Portland Iron Works for tho con
struction of a dredgo to operate
along the coast of Oregon and Wash
ington coasts ho accepted. lie also
suggested tho substitution of a steel
tank in place of wood, as had been
called for in the specifications, which
will entail an additional cost of
$11,000. A tank is needed for car
rying fresh water, as tho vessel will
be operated . almost wholly in salt
water. ,
According to tho terms of the con
tract the successful bidder must have
the vessel comploted and ready for
service in eight months. She will bo
equipped with powerful machinery
and will be one of the most sorvice-ji-1o
dredges on the coast. An end
! amount of work has been laid
on' for the craft ut C003 Bay, Tilla
ii' , Grays Harbor and , at other
i't - in Oregon and Washington.

WALK 75 MILES TO GET
TO POINT 5' MILES AWAY
Party of Mcdford Men Have nn Units
uiu Experience "While trying to
Bench Mine.
MEDFORD. Ore.. Jan. 13
In order to reach a point just
five miles from their place of
starting, a party of prospectors
recently arrived at Blue Ledgo
mine , near this city. The men
had gone forth on a prospecting
expedition, when they found
their return to the mine shut
off by snow.
After several attempts to
reach Bluo Ledge, they were
compelled to walk seventy-fivo
miles to Hornbrook, Cal. From
thero they came by train to
Medford, and from this place
went to the mine by stage.
O Throughout their long tramp to
to Hornbrook they encountered
snow from ono to seven feet
deep. The miners making the
trip were Frank George, Fred
Nelson and Frank Smith.

THE MEANEST MAN.
Bill Nye had truth well, told when
ho said: "A man may use a wart on
-the back of his neck for a collar
button; rido on tho back coach of a
railroad .train to savo Interest on his
rroney till the conductor gets around;
stop his watch at night to save wear
and tear; leave his "I" or "t" without
a dot or cross to save ink; pasture
his cow on his mother's grave to save
corn; but a man o'f this sort is agen
tlcman,and a scholar compared to the
fellow who will take a newspaper two
or three years and when asked 4.0 pay
fsr it puts it into the office and has it
marked "Refused."

How should I take the grass to wife,
When swoet Red Roso is mine?
Or, having danced tho saraband
Within the paluco gate,
Aim nent above tho young queen'!

How should I stooo to meaner joy,
Carousing at tho inn
A barmaid for my vulgar toy,
A heartaeho for my bin?

CHILD FALLS
20 FEET
Daughter of Waitress at Blanco
Injured by Bad Tumble Yes
terday Afternoon.
After suffering. a terrlblo falcon
Sunday afternoon about 2 o'clock tho
little girl of Mrs. Delia Robinson of
this city is lying in tho General Hos
pital suffering from a fractured head,
but with good chances for recovery.
Tho child fell nearly twenty feet and
landed on her head on a boat wharf
and was unconscious for several
hours. She becamo conscious latn
last night nnd today is sleeping in a
dazed condition, being looked after
.by Drs. Houseworth and Ingrain.
Mrs. Robinson is a waitress at tho
Blanco hotel and rooms abovo tho
printing office of tho Coos Bay
Monthly magazine, where her sister,
Mrs. Geo. Coleman has apartments.
During tho mother's . absence Mrs.
Coleman has been accustomed to at
tend to the child, but yesterday after
noon the little ono wandered onto tho
rear platform extending out from tho
building without Mrs. Coleman's
knowledge, and shortly afterward
Mrs. Robinson returned homo and
found that tliQvcliild had fallen to the
wharf below. 1E
Half frnntic.Wie grasped the llttlo
girl, who is not quite two years old,
and hurried up jFYont street with her
unconscious burden, In search of a
doctor. Seeking assistance at several
offices she found no doctors and final
ly took- tho child to the Blanco hotel,
and after considerable delay a phy
sician was secured. Vriio child was
then taken to tho hospital.
Little hope was held out for tho
child's recovery yesterday, but sinco
she recovered consciousness there aro
prospects of her becoming well again,
according to reports from the hos
pital today. Tho physicians aro
anxious to havo tho child recover
without an operation if possible, but
in case she takes a chango for tho
worse, this will bo attempted as a
remedy. Tho fracture was sustained
at tho back of tho head, but how bad
tho injury is will not bo ascertained
until tho expiration of forty-eight
hours or more, and moanwhllo tho
child's condition is said to bo qulto
favorable toward recovery. ,
