Iff ireless" yesterday figured in the role of life-saver when through the action of tho steamer San Pueblo wiring tho Blanco wireless station of tho plight of tho steam schooner Coquille, and the station in turn notifying Coos Bay, tho tug Columbia received tho information which sent her to the rescue of the Bteamer after the captain and crew had worked for three days and nights at tho pumps in an endeavor to keep the boat afloat. Last Thursday tho Coquille left Florence, on the Sluslaw river, bound for San Fran Cisco with a cargo of lumber. Crossing tho bar she struck bottom and tho jar worked serious damage to her hull, causing her to spring a leak after she had put to sea a few hours. When the captain and crew discovered the grave danger which confronted them the pumps were at once brought into requisition. So severe had been tho damage worked by the jar, that nothing could be done toward repairing tho leaks, all the efforts of the ship's crew being required to keep her afloat. How much longer the boat would have continued her gal lant fight will never be known. Certainly not for many hours. The steamer San Pueblo, which is equipped with wireless, sighted her Sunday afternoon and immediately sent notice to the Blanco wireless station from whence a telegram was sent to Coos Bay and Captain McG,ee, of the Columbia was notified. He brought tho vessel in yesterday afternoon. By tho law, prevailing on the high seas the tug Columbia has a claim for salvage against teho Coquille. The latter's cargo consisted of about 175,000 feet of lum ber valued at approximately at $1,700. The boat is owned by San Francisco and Florence parties, tho captain also having an interest. It is the intention of the skipper to abandon the ship, ' She is one of the oldest boats running out of the way ports be tween San Francisco and Portland having been in service for near ly 25 years. She was originally built on tho Coquille' river.

Capacity of 50,000 Feet- Orders for Dozen Buildings Already. There is a decided air of progress provading tho Plat B properties and a visitor is impressed with the be lief that something of importance to that locality will Boon bo given to the public. Every person interested or engaged there with Major L. D. Kinney carries a mysterious counten ance and upon being questioned makes tho same reply; "Everything Is looking good and you will see great developments in this section of the Coos Bay country." For tho past six weeks there have been marked improvements under way. Tho foot route from tho stave mill has been grubbed out, levelled, and planked; a walk has been built from tho east side of Plat B to Sher man avenue; men have been busy falling and delivering logs for the Pony Inlet sawmill which was start ed this morning. Tho mill has had $3000 worth of additional machinery Installed lately and when tho wheels were turned the superintendent, Mr. Childs, found that everything worked to perfection. Tho mill has a 50,000 feet capacity, but will saw only half that amount for tho present. The output will go largely for building the wharf across tho front of Plat B, though there are orders for a dozen buildings "that will be filled immediately. All these buildings will be erected on Plat B property, sev eral of them on Sherman avenue. The hotel on Pony Inlet has been thoroughly re-furnished and opened this morning for business. Major Kinney has rented ono of the Larsen pile drivers for complet ing tho wharf across the east front of Plat B, a distance of 3284 feet. The driver commenced driving piles this morning. Tho wharf will be a public convenience and will cost be tween $30,000 and' $35,000. It will have a width of 50 feet at Porter and 44 feet at the stavo mill ond. Major Kinney unconsciously lot tho cat out of the bag when describ ing the construction by saying, "Tho Belt Lino Railroad track will occupy the inside part of the wharf." So, it seems tho pet scheme the Major has coddled and nourished over since he came o Coos Bay is likely to be something more than a paper rail road after all. Construction of tho wharf, which will bo a part of tho water level highway between Marshfleld and North Bend, is being carried on un der tho direction of A. Barricklow, an engineer from Seattle who has extensive experience in such work. Tho sawmill is now tho property of George M. Everett, of New Bruns wick, who is en route to Coos Bay with his family and relatives who will becomo actively Interested with Major Kinney in tho progress and im provements now under way in the Plat B neighborhood. A SILL FIRE ON COOS RIVER Flames Destroy Bunkalation on S. C. Rogers Place This Morning. A fire on the S. C. Roger's place-on Coos River between S and 9 o'clock this morning that for a time tkreat ened to destroy much property "was by tho strenuous efforts of several men extinguished with only a nomin al loss. The fire originated in the bunkalation or bunk house adjoin ing tho residence of Frank Rogers. It had gained such headway before being discovered that the bunk house: was entirely destroyed nnd it was only with great efforts that the flames were kept from spreading io the residence and barns of Frank Rogers. In addition to containing. tho sleeping apartments of the men employed on tho ranch the building burned was also occupied with Frank. Rogers' "den" containing a large and! valued collection of curios and somef fine samples of tho taxidermist'B art in the form of valuable stuffed lions,, bears and other animals and birds. According to last reports nearly all theso were saved from tho flames. Frank Rogers was on the "Coos River" boat when ho was reaches at one of the landings and notified of tho fire. Ho promptly boarded the- launch Tioga and started to return- when a second message reached himi that the firo was subdued so he con tinued his trip to Marshfleld coming: in on the Alert. According to Information received" it was a narrow escape from being a. very destructive fire and many friends will be glad to learn that Frank Rogers' curio collection was, saved from the flames, for this would! have been irropairable. The cause of tho fire could not be learned. THOMAS L. LEWIS ELECTED LEADER OF COAL MINERS Receives 2,000 Majority Over Rival; Cnndidate, W. B. Wilson, of Pennsylvania. Advertised List.
