Few Chnllcngcs Made.
Few voters were challenged in
Marshfield yesterday. Only two
irere made in the South Marshfield
precinct, one by tho wet watchers
and the other by the dry watchers.
The wet watchers made their protest
stick while the other'protest did not.
In the south precinct, everything
passed off very smoothly. The dry
watchers and wet watchers worked
together and when dry and wet votes
liad to be sworn in, the wet watchers
orked together and when dry and
"wet votes had to be sworn in, the
vret watchers and dry watchers would
accept identification from each other.
Dr. J. T. McCormac would take Clay
Moore's word that a probable wet
Yoter was all right and Clay Moore
would likewise go with Dr. McCor
mac on probably dry voters.
Trouble in North Precinct.
There were several clashes in the
North Marshfield precinct during the
day owing to S. R. Beloate, a deputy
sheriff for the precinct, taking
on himself some of the duty of the
clerks or judges of election. Ho re
cused to allow voters to use sample
ballots that they had marked before
entering tho booth to mark their
"white ballots from. The voters claim
that this In violation of the law and
there has been talk of prosecuting
Beloate.
Thirty Days Leeway.
The Oregon law provides that
when wet precincts vote dry at tho
local option election, the liquor deal
ers shall close their places on or he
tore thirty days from tho election.
Thus if Coos county went dry yester
day, the saloons would have to quit
business July 1.

South Marshfield Property
Owners Want Entire Section
in One District.
Petitions are being circulated in
South Marshfield today asking that
all of that section of the city, south
of Mills slough, bo made one sewer
district and sewered at ouee, the
sewer emptying into the bay direct.
The petitions request that in order
to accomplish this, the work on the
systems proposed for part of South
Marshfield and Haines streets at pre
sent be stopped and also that the
city engineer in preparing plans and
specifications for the larger system
consult with a committee of property
owners.
This plan of effecting the change
from the city council's scheme for a
sewage system in South Marshfield
was devised at a meeting of the prop
erty owners of that section at the
city hall last evening. Everyone
present was unanimous in favor of
securing a sewage system that will
cover all of South Marshfield be
tween Mills slough and the city
limits. In order to get the matter
properly before the city council to
night, it was decided to circulate
the petitions today and secure as
many signers as possible.
It was stated last evening 'that
under no circumstances would be
property owners permit the empty
ing of sewage systems into Mills
slough and also that they would
continue to oppose the installation
of a small system that would only
cover part of that section.
The property owners are also anxi
ous to have large main piles put in
to make certain that the system will
be adequate for the ensuing fifteen
or twenty years.
Late this afternoon, it was stated
by the parties circulating the peti
tions for the new sewer district that
everyone they were able to find
were signing It. All of the large
property owners In the proposed dis
trict with the exception of the South
ern Pacific have signed the petition
and as there is no one here with au
thority to represent the Southern Pa
cific and there may be some delay in
getting their consent. Owing to
many of the smaller property owners
being at work today where they
could not bo reached, it was stated
late this afternoon that the petition
might be held over a few days to
give them an opportunity to sign it.
This would necessitate a deviation
from the original plan to present the
petition tonight.

Yes No Yes No
H. Gale First, Edna Wieder
Second and Alice McCor
mac Third.
H. Gale of North Bend, first prize.
Miss Edna "Welder, second prize.
Miss Alice McCormac, third prize.
Such Is the result of the prize
awards in the contest for the first,
second and third prizes for the best
essay on "Coos Bay as a summer
resort." The judges were L. H.
McCarthy and H. R. Saltmarsh. So
close was the contest that It was
with difficulty that the judges could
pass on four others which were each
voted worthy of honorable mention.
The awards were made by numbers,
the judges not knowing the authors
of the productions they were judg
ing. Neither the judges nor the
parties who offered the prizes know
the winner from North Bend.
H. Gale Is Mrs. Helen Gale, the
wife of Dr. Gale of North Bend. She
was very much surprised when no
tified today that she had won first
honors in the contest, in fact sur
prised to learn that she had won
any prize at all. She said that on
the evening she noticed the an
nouncement of the contest in The
Times, that she decided to enter the
contest but soon after she started
to write something she was inter
rupted, leaving her only about ten
minutes to hurriedly dash off the
ideas she had.
The first prize of $10 was offered
by Seymour H. Bell, the second prize
of $5 by Secretary Walter Lyons,
and the third prize a hat by George
Goodrum. The awards of the first
prizes will be all right but Mr.
Goodrum will have to call on his
millinery friends in order to convert
a stiff hat or a "Silk tile" into a
Merry Widow or something similar
as the young lady who secured his
prize has no need of masculine head
gear. It Is proposed to now offer a prize
for "One Hundred Facts About Coos
Bay." Nobody will be barred from
this contest, and the award will be
based on the most telling facts, prop
erly arranged and presented.
TOUT ORFORD NEWS.
Government Engineer Ex
presses Hopes For Work
on Coos Bay.
Colonel S. W. Roessler, the engin
eer in charge of the government
river and harbor improvement work
in the Northwest, is highly gratified
over the acceptance of his plans for
the Improvement of the Coos Bay bar
and harbor by the board of engineers
at Washington. While Colonel Roess
ler will shortly be transferred from
this territory, he will go with a firm
belief In the future of Coos Bay and I
with a determination to help It when
ever he can. This Is the tenor of
a letter which Secretary Walter Lyon
of the Marshfield Chamber of Com
merce has received. The letter is
self explanatory and Is as follows:
"I beg to acknowledge receipt of
your letter of the 23d instant, and
copy of communication from the
Chief of Engineers acknowledging re
ceipt of your resolutions relative to
my being ordered out of this district.
Since the receipt of this letter, the
orders have been issued to take ef
fect soon after the first of July.
"Thru you I wish to express my
appreciation of the support that I
have uniformly received from the
Marshfield Chamber of Commerce in
the matter of developing plans for
the future Improvement of Coos Bay
and Coos Bay entrance. If the dis-
nfitohps from Washington aro cor- !
rect, It would seem that the Advisory
Board of Engineers at Washington
and the Chief of Engineers have all
concurred in my recommendation for
the construction of a dredge to be
used in deepening the bar, and for
the work of improving the interior
harbor as far up as Marshfield. The
news was very gratifying to me, and
I am sure it must have been to the
people of Coos Bay."

Last Friday there drifted Into Port
Orford the strangest visitation from
the sea that ever puzzled the oldest
Inhabitant. Robert Forty discovered
it floating in the bay and went out to
It In a boat and secured the wonder.
It was a fine now Revenue flag 2
by 4 feet, fastened to the top of a
short round staff, which was stuffed
In a casting with a hole In the center
and the casting was securely fasten
ed on threo four-foot planks, which
made a base not easily capsized and
buoyant enough to float tho upper
stories. Tho flag Is of fine make and
uninjured; but tho question Is who
set It afloat? Where and why?
