President Newell and Commis
sioner Carson to Visit Coos
County Soon.
President Newell of the Oregon
State Doard of Horticulture, and A.
H. Carson, committeeman for the
third district, will spend several days
in Coos county the last of this month
or the first week in May. The ob
ject of their visit is to get in closer
touch with the fruit growers of this
section in order that more may bo
accomplished for them. Dr. Pohl,
fruit inspector in Coos clunty, has
just been apprised of the intended
visit and wishes that the people of
this section, particularly the fruit
growers, would show their apprecia
tion of it by turning out and extend
ing a welcome. Dr. Pohl is very busy
now completing his inspection and on
this account wishes that the Marsh
field and North Dend Chambers of
Commerce would take the matter in
hand. Dr. Pohl has written the fol
lowing letter to The Times:
Editor Coos Bay Times,
I have just received a letter from
Hon. A. H. Carson, Commissioner of
the Third District of Horticulture,
that about the last of this month or
the first week In May President
Newell of the State Doard of Horti
culture and Mr. A. H. Carson, Com
missioner for tho Third District, will
be in Coos county to Investigate all
matters necessary to obtain more
prosperous results in fruit growing.
I believe that tho Chambers of
Commerce in Marshfield and North
Dend will give them a most hearty
welcome. Perhaps it will be best for
those bodies to write to either one,
or both so as to have the exact time
when to expect them and have an
over flowing audiences to welcome
them.
To thopc still backward with their
work of spraying I would personally
add to not longer delay such work
and avoid consequences.
My time is very much taken up,
or I should write to the Chambers of
Commerce in Marshfield and North
Dend, but should you place this In
your Daily Times, the secretaries of
those organizations will find the Item
and tako notice and thereby save
my time occupied as said before.
Very truly,
M. G. POHL,

San Francisco Firms Expect to
Handle Large Amount Dur
ing the Coming Year.
C. J. Millis of the Beaver Hill Coal
Company, has received notice that
tho Czarina would sail today from
'Frisco to Coos Bay to handle coal for
the Golden Gate port. The Czarina
Is expected here sometime Saturday.
For about a year past, little Coos
Bay coal has been hauled to San
Francisco aside from that taken on
the M. F. Plant.
Mr. Millis is confident that there
will bo a big coal trade with San
Francisco henceforth and It is likely
that the Czarina or similar carriers
will bo kept busy plying in this
trade.
Recently F. C. Buhne of Eureka,
made a contract with Masters and
McLain for regular shipments of coal
from Coos Bay to that city, the fuel
from here being cheaper and superior
to others obtainable at Eureka.

add some signature other than tho

Two Now Yorkers Drink Gallon of
Whiskey Apiece, in About Four
Hours.
NEW YORK, April 9. While the
rain pattered and a chill wind blew,
Francis King and his good friend
Patrick McBrldo had a very nlco,
quietly convlvlnl time recently. But
the agreeable session ended unfortu
nately.
After drinking, between them, two
gallons of a certain brand of Harlem
whiskey In four hours, McDiide,
forty-two years old, died of alcoholic
poisoning. King, who has been sea
soned and hardened by three years
more of life, fell In alcoholic coma,
but his life was saved by the able and
earnest efforts of Ambulance Surgeon
IJealy of tho Harlem hospital.
Coroner Shrady took a sample of
tho surviving whiskey, and will have
it analyzed to learn if it contains any
other poison than alcohol.
Indiscreetly, a three gallon demi
john of nlleged whiskey was given at
noon to King, a laborer. No. 20,r East
One Hundred and First street, to lake
from Thomas Molony's saloon, No.
1920 First avenue, to Molony's other
saloon, No. 1711 Lexington avenue.
There is nothing selfish about King.
With tho demijohn he dropped In to

MIchnol Dorscy and his wife .lane,
at No. 207-1 Second avenue.
Horsey went In Mi'Hrlde's room at
hnlf past four o'clock. i no two
friends were stretched on the Moor,
the demijohn, with a quart In it,
stood upright on the table. Alter
vainly trying to arouse .McBrlde and
King, Horsey ran to Policeman Nihil,
of the East One Hundred anil Fourth
street station, who called an ambu
lance. After King was sober he was
charged with intoxication and locked
up. Tho demijohn was locked up,
too, charged with homicide, In effect.

EVERYTHING
FOR
right, in view of how little tho legis
latures have left the State, whether,
after all "cession" is not the right
way to spell it. The letter follows:
North Bend, Ore., April 9, 190S
Editor Times,
I want to raise my voice in objec
tion to the law which the voters are
going to pass on at tho coining elec
tion which is to raise the salary of
senators and representatives in tho
legislature. I am in favor of eco
nomy. Let me tell you that I was
a representative in the Oregon legis
lature six years ago from another
part of the State of Oregon. I got
along on the salary now paid and I
don't see why the people should have
to pay any more. Five dollars salary
per day is too mucn. Then they
get mileage. They are paid well
enough.
Now, I saved money on the stunt.
I went to the legislature and board
ed at the best hotel in Salem and
held up my end with the best of
them. I didn't have more than ten
dollars when I struck the capital. A
wise representative hns a good many.
chances to make money on the side,
If he watches closely and this Is real
ly what one goes there for. For in
stance! I watched my chance and
got some money in the senatorial
fight, I also got a few dollars just
like finding It for helping to down
some legislation which was adverse
to the railroads. I Introduced a bill
to compel one big land company to
sell its land, but was induced to sup
press it and turned a pretty penny
in that way. The way the farmers
fight the people who have acquired
big tracts of land In Oregon is a cau
tion. They are quite populistlc and
I have always fought Populism with
all my might and sidetracked lots of
unwise bills and made money by do
ing so. The Bible says: "Be wise
as a serpent and harmless as a
dove." It also says, "Be diligent in
business." If these stupid legislator:!
who ask for higher salaries would be
wise as serpents and diligent in busi
ness they would kill two birds with
one stone. They would obey the holy
book and save their souls and they
would make so much money, they
wouldn't care what kind of a salary
they got.
Now when a man who goes to the
legislature gets a large salary it
makes him slothful. He don't look
for a chance to turn an honest dollar
and ho feels so Independent like,
that instead of taking advice from
men who have proved their business
ability by making big money, he in-,
ti-niliicps nnri st.'iiids liv n lot of nrm- iSl'lflllfZ'Kfl'
ullstic laws and tries to hurt the I ?
railroads. Now, think what will O
happen In the next legislature. If n
man Is elected on the present salary
he's got to rustle to keep alive dur
ing the cession and won t have time
for nny populistlc laws especially if
he hasn't much sense. Such a man
can't atford to' go to the legislature.
It is only the friend of tho hi;;, eirer
prlslng industriors who has sense
enough to serve his friends in n style
v, hlch will support their dignity and
who asks them to help him who can
afford to be there. Now, 1 am not
a candidate for the legislature this
year, but I can tell t.ie people how
a member can easily live on tho pres
ent salary. It will cost him ton dol
lars a day If he amounts to anything
at all. He ought to make $100 a
day or he's no good. Statement No.
1 Is all right to soup the people with
hut a legislator can get a good
price to vote in defiance of it. You
think the people won't stand by him,
but they will. 1 could mako a thou
sand out of the senatorial fight, 1 bet
you I would introduce another bill
to make Elijah Smith dance. When
ho came out from Boston and pro
mised to start up the Empire mill
again I'd ask him to help mo side
track the bill. There will be some
