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.

ALTAR SOCIETY ENGAGES
IN WORTHY CAUSE
Members Pledge Themselves to Raise
$10 Individually for Church
AVork Reforo Easter Sunday.
Tho members of tho Altar society,
composed of ladles belonging to St.
Monica's Catholic church, have
organized themselves into a unique
and worthy cause for the purpose of
swelling the subscriptions to the fund
for tho erection of a $16,000 church
edifice in Marshfleld. Tho Altar so
ciety has about 25 members and each
has pledged to raiso $10 by Easter
Sunday. To effect this tho ladles
aro going to give a series of teas, and
various entertainments. The sale to
be held in the O'Connell building,
commencing at 1:30 o'clock Satur
day afternoon next, is but ono of the
ideas which the ladies will utilize In
their campaign for church funds.
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.
