Oscar J. Smith of Reno, Nov., J.
H, Ware of Chicago and H. F. Col
lett of San Francisco, who have been
on Coos Bay for three or four days
Investigating tho holdings of the
Oregon Coal and Navigation Com
pany, left this afternoon for San

Navigation Company's holdings in
clude tho steamship M. F. Plant,
which plies between Coos Bay and
San Francisco, the Libby Coal Mine,
waterfront property In Marshfleld
and Empire and several thousand
acres of land near this city. It is un
derstood that about $500,000 Is In
volved In the deal.
Just before leaving today, Mr.
Smith said that he had no statement
to give out. He said that the deal
was simply on and that nothing ex
cept premature news could be made
public now. Mr. Collett is a mining
engineer and spent most of his time
inspecting the Libby mine and coal
proporty.
"I am very favorably impressed
with this country," said Mr. Smith
for whom this was the second visit
to Coos Bay. "It is going to develop
very rapidly from now on and I am
anxious to get In on it. What we
will do will depend upon tho conclu
sion reached after a discussion of
the investigation. I am already con
vinced that Coos Bay on account of
its resources and location has a great
future."
Tho Oregon Coal and Navigation
Company has headquarters in San
Francisco.
No one here knew of the deal until
the investigation of the Libby mine
property aroused suspicions.

The outlook for a stronger ball
team this year than last Is very
favorable, but tho condition of tho

NO ELECTION IN JUNE
Order of Court Comes as Surprise
to Leaders of "Dry" Movement
Judge Hall Ordered Submission.
(Special to The Times.)
COQUILLE, Ore., April 20.
Judge Hamilton of the Circuit Court
has granted the application of E. A.
Becket, a Coquille liquor dealer, for
a writ o review of the petitions to
have the prohibition question sub
mitted to the voters of Coos county
at the June election. The granting
of the writ practically means that
the election cannot be held June 1st,
so that the local option campaign of
the Prohibitionists will be delayed
indefinitely. It Is likely that the
county clerk will bo enjoined from
putting the question on the ballots
for the election June 1st.
The action came as a surprise to
the leaders of the prohibition move
ment in Coquille, they, through the
recently former Coos County Anti
saloon League, have done consider
able work In its behalf.
Judge Hall of the. county court,
recently ordered the question sub
mitted at the general election June
1st. The vote was to have been on
the county as a whole and also for
county composed of Burton Prairie,
East Coquille, West Coquille, Dora,

Will Devote Meeting to Discus

System Want Action.
The Marshfleld city council will
meet in special session tonight, In
compliance with tho wishes of the
South Bend citizens who recently
passed a resolution asking that the
part of the city of Marshfleld, be
tween Delta street and Pennsylva
nia avenue and tho Bay and city
limits on the west, bo declared a
sewer district and a system put in
at once. It is expected that the en
tire session will bo devoted to the
discussion of tho proposed sower.
It is expected that City Attorney
Farrin, to whom the matter was re
ferred for a legal opinion three
weeks ago, will be able to make a
report tonight. Mr. Farrln was laid
up with blood poison and the coun-
cllmen said it was Impossible to act
on the matter without legal advice.
The residents of South Marshfleld
are anxious to have action taken at
once so that the system, which is
badly needed there, may be put In
at once.
One reason why they advocated
the sewering of tho entire city under
tho provisions of the Eddy bonding
act was that the North Marshfleld
property-owners, whoso sewer was
paid for by the entire city, might
reciprocate- and help pay for tho
additional sewage system.

The Japanese colony participated
in the welcome to the sailors and

Important change in the returns
from Friday's primaries. It is evi
dent that Cake has a lead of from
3,000 to 5,000 over Fulton and that
Ellis Is the nominee for congress in

in the Second Dist.; Campbell In tho
First; Bailey for Dairy and Food

Multnomah county Is tho heaviest
contributor to the Statement No. 1
forces In the Legislature. It should
be remembered, however, that seven
of the holdo.ver State senators, such
as Mulit, Bailey, Hedges, Colwell, Milt
Miller and Bingham, were elected
on Statement No. 1. These will give
the Statement a nucleus in the Sen
ate around which to gather the
forces. If indications pointing to tho
success of 31 from returns already
received are correct, this gives the
Statement oners 38 votes in the
House and Senate.
Effect pf Honey's Work.
How much of an effect the attacks
of F. J. Heney had on the chances of
Fulton cannot be estimated. They
may have had somo effect, but the
real reason why Fulton has been de
feated In Oregon by about S.000
votes is because ho failed to assoclato
himself with Statement No. 1, es
Cake did. Fulton's friends had urg
ed him to come out for the state
ment, but lie declined. Another
thing which militated against th3
Senator was that his most active sup
porters and workers were men who
were fighting tho statement, and
therefore when voters cast their bal
lot for the Statement No. 1 legislative
ticket, they voted for Cake, as
against Fulton.

"It i3 plainly evident that person
