Interest In Harbor Shipping
Much interest is being shown in har
bor boat movements during the past
week of good weather, and the fleet
of craft in tho bay is being repaired
in good shape lor spring business.
New boats aro being built and old
ones put in shape and the prospects
are that tho boating industry in the
harbor is going to be better this year
than it has over been before in tho
history of Coos Bay.
Ho .Was .liicorrlglblo Edward
Le-wvo, a fourteen-year-old youngster
of Coquille, was committed to tho
stale reform school by tho juvenile
court at the county seat yesterday.
The lad's case came up before tho
court last week and ho was allowed
to go free on probation. On Sunday
last he stolo some candles from a
store In Coquille and when his case
camo before tho court yesterday It
decided that tho reform school was
about tho best place to take care of
Edward.
Boosting His Addition. George
J. Schaefer, of Portlaud, has issued
a number of sheets tho size of a
newspaper page describing tho Coos
Bay region as tho greatest on the
west coast. All the newspaper
stories in tho Times and Portland
papers referring to Coos Bay have
been reproduced with a number of
excellent photographs of various
scenes in tho harbor are printed on
tho circular, which will be a great
boost for Coos Bay and will bo tho
means of bringing numerous peo
ple to settle in this sectioii. Incident
ally the circular sets forth the pros
pects of his addition In the middle
of the peninsula.
Schooner Arrives In Port. Tho
three-masted schooner Esther Buhne,
which has been engaged in carrying
lumber to California from Oregon for
a number of years, arrived in the har
bo this morning from San Francisco,
eleven days out from tho port. Noth
ing of consequence happened on tho
trip, the boat being in charge of Cap
tain Olson. She was picked up by the
tug Columbia off tho bar this morn
ing and brought to Marshfleld and
tied up at the railroad dock, whero
she will lay up for a while, until lum
ber movements become activo once
more.
Eagle Arrives From Bandon Tho
launch Eaglo in charge of Captain
Tom Holland arrived In Coos Bay
about one o'clock this aftornoon, af
ter making a quick and pleasant trip
from Bandon. The boat left tho lat
ter port over a smooth bar at 10:40
o'clock this morning and was inside
Coos Bay at 1 p. m making a dis
tance of twenty-ono miles in two
hours and twenty minutes. Tho
Eagle will commence on the run be
cween Marshfleld and North Bond to
day. Sho was taken to tho Coquillo
river several months ago to carry
passengers, but business in tho val
ley for tho boat is not as good as It
is on tho bay, this resulting in her
coming back home.
Building Strong Boat An unusual
strong launch is being built at tho
William Holland shipyard for Capt.
Swing which will be equipped with a
flfty-horso power engine. The keel
of the boat was laid about two weeks
ago and tho frame is already in shape
and the planking Is being put on tho
boat. The latter is forty-eight feet
long, 10 feet six inches wide and has
a depth of five feet, Tho frame is
cedar, and in fact the wholo boat will
bo constructed of white codar. The
boat Is different from anything oj
tho bay in shape and the plans wero
drawn by Captain Swing. The boat's
unusual strength and seaworthy linos
will enable her to go outside tho har
bor, in almost any kind of weather
providing tho bar is not too bad.
She will bo used by the captain for
pleasure and towing purposes and
will bo launched In about six weeks,
tho onglno already being on board.

parlors of Archer & Mercer, in the

from. His name Is Frederick F.
Pailer, 28 years of age, tall and heavy

camp near C003 Bay. This Is the
second query from tho anxious moth
er, and if any person knows of the
son's whereabouts they will confer a
great favor on tho worried lady.
Moon Causes Rainbow. A rather
unusual phenomenon was witnessed
Monday morning about 5:45 o'clock
by thoso who were not wrapped in
tho arms of Morpheus, at least tho
pcoplo who wero up at that hour and
glanced skyward. A huge rainbow
circled from tho north to the south of
tho city, but It was without colors.
Mrs. Thomas DImmick saw tho phe
nomenon. She says that the stars
wero shining and that the moon was
still shining in tho west. Thero was
no sun, as it was before daylight,
and yet this huge rainbow stretched
across the sky, more tho color of the
moon than anything else. This is
tho second tlmo Mrs. DImmick has
witnessed such a sight on Coos Bay
in a number of years.

cation points toward the recovery of
the little girl of Mrs. Delia Robinson,
which was injured by a bad fall last

laying gas pipe on Broadway and C
streets this week, and tho work of
laying the pipe is going on in various
parts of tho city. The plant Is being
erected In North Bend and will bo
operating at an early date. The size
of the pipes gives the impression that
radium is going to be run through
them, to some spectators, but it is
merely gas.
Gardiner Man Dies Charles R.
Smith, of Tacoma, who was being
brought from Portland to Gardiner
by the Breakwater, dies enroute, his
brother, A. F. Smith, being present

ing the bay cities.
Work Is Progressing Work on
the big business building being erect
ed by Ralph Williams at the corner
of Broadway and Queen avenue has
been progressing rapidly during tho
flno weather of the now year. Tho
walls havo been partially completed
and the size of tho framework gives
some idea of what this progressive
building will be when It Is com
pleted. It will be a decided addition
to tho other skyscrapers being erect
ed in Marshfleld.
Breakwater Is Strengthened.
Repairs to tho damaged port bow of
tho Breakwater, which suffered an
accident while on a recent trip over
tho bar, havo been mado in a man

sand seawall along tho beach. He
says tho lattor has boen washed
away In huge longths whero It has
stood tho storms of years. The
wreck of tho Sacramento has been
washed away inland from whoro It Jbr will enable tho local shlpbulld
stood for several yoars, and tho un- ng tirm to outbid any other firm,
usual violence of tho waves has af- l Pa U'"S furnished by the big
fected tho wholo beach. m"a on tll " Tho Quostlqn of
shipping tho machinery to this point
SMITH COMES
ON SUNDAY
Mill to Start With Eight Hun
dred Men on First of
March.
C. A. Smith, tho multl-millicnairo
lumberman who has done so much for
tho growth of Coos Bay by estab
lishing his largest western interests
at this point, and whoso mill will be
the largest on tho coast, will arrive
on tho steamer Plant next Sunday
from San Francisco and win spend a
few weeks looking over Ills interests
hero. Manager Orcn, of tho local
mill, has received a telegram from
Minneapolis stating that Mr. Smith
will arrive on Sunday, but whethcr
ho is bringing a party with him or
not is not known.
The machinery of the mill which
has been installed during tho past
few months, will bo' turned over on
its trial run somo time next week.
Everything is being rushed forward
as rapidly as possible In order that
tho hugo mill may commence opera
tions on tho first of March without
fail. Consequently tho month of Feb
ruary will be devoted to putting on
the finishing touches at tho mill and
to having tho machinery In first class
working order, for tho opening day
which will bo on scheduled time. It
is probable that somo ceremony will
bo held when tho first lumber is cut
in tho now structure, which will em
ploy about 800 men in all Its depart
ments inside and out.
At present thero aro 300 men
working on tho construction, and in,
splto of several heavy rains tho work
has gone forward in a manner which
has aroused tho admiration of con
tractors and visitors to tho company's
property. The yards aro being put
in shape to receive tho lumber and
thousands of logs aro being cut by
the Smith-Powers Logging company
to feed thenew mill, which will turn
out lumber at tho rate of over 225,
000 feet per day. If the mill were to
work a double shift, tho output every
24 hours would be in tho neighbor
hood of half a million feet, or the-'
cargo of tho largest schooner which
comes into the bay to load lumber.
SECURES JUDGMENT IN COURT.
II. Hazard Searches for Shining
Metal In the Black Sands But
Finds It Not.
F. H. Hazard, of Portland, camo
to Coos Bay to search for gold in tho
black sands on tho ranch of Mrs.
Fannlo T. Montgomery on Coos Bay.
Ho found silver instead but it camo
from tho pockets of Mrs. Montgomery
and not from tho black sands. Tho
story was developed in tho courts In
Portland whero Hazard secured his'
judgment. Hero is what tho Oregon
Journal says about It:
It required Just twclvo minutes for
a jury in Judge Bronaugh's depart
ment of tho superior court to deter
mlno that Mrs. Fanny T. Montgom
ery should pay F. H. Hazard $11C
for prospecting for black sand on her
ranch in Coos County.
Mrs. Montgomery is having a dis
couraging tlmo In tho courts, for
only tho day beforo sho appeared as
prosecuting witness against Will Pat
ton, whom she charged with embez
zling $7 while ho was locating a tim
ber land claim for her. The jury
acquitted Patton, and today Hazard
realized tho full amount of his claim.
Hazard went to Coos County and
spent about threo weeks investigat
ing black sand on the land of Mrs.
Montgomery and on adjoining land.
It was reported that tho sand was
rich iu gold. Ho produced a con
tract from Mrs. Montgomery promis
ing to pay him $3 por day for tho
tlmo ho was gone. Mrs. Montgomery,
claimed tho investigation did not
amount to anything and refused to
Pay.
