MV J Ikt 1 hm f.'X SHARP STICK F Ml (Continued From Pago 1.) inerce, are the two men who have un dertaken to organize the antl-Harrl-man campaign, and to crystallize ef fort In the manner outlined above. They are persuaded that universal support will come from those terri tories, some of them larger In extent than the states of Rhode Island, Del aware, Massachusetts or Connecticut, in which there Isn't a foot of rall Toad, although every Inch of these districts have from time to time beer plastered with Harrlman promises. According to the plans as outlined l)y these men, they expect to lay be fore the conyentlon figures and re ports showing just what strategic points Harrlman now holds, In which no development has taken place; when such rights were secured, with reports as to what other roads have promised to do, what the resources of the districts Involved are, together with their possibilities. "We believe this Is the most satis factory manner of arriving at re sults," said Mr. Lyon today. "We have been working on this proposi tion for some time, and have met TVlth nothing but the greatest encour agement since we conceived the idea. Oregon has been too long-suffering and patient in this matter, and It Is time the monopoly of the one great system that has been a burden on our necks for years be broken." The exact time of holding this con vention will be decided within the course of a week or two, and a cam paign of widespread publicity will be Instituted on behalf of the movement so that universal representation may bo secured when the delegates meet.

PROTEST ON ROAD FILED Coos Bay Property Owners Ob ject to Completing Plank Road to North Bend. Judge John F. Hall has been no tified that a number of Marahfleld property owners have filed a petition to tho Coos County commissioners ob jecting to tho construction of tho re mainder of tho plank roadway be tween Marshfleld and North Bend. The petition contains upwards of fifty names and will be considered when tho North Bend-Marshfleld road project comes up at tho July meeting of tho commissioners. It is now on file in the county clerk's of fice. Just Who the signers are or tho full nature of their objection, (Fudge Hall is not aware. Seymour H. Bell is quite anxious tqLsecure a franchise from the coun ty to build his electric line over the proposed bridge road. He brought tho matter before the commissioners at their last meeting in Coquille, but they Informed him that they could not consider tho granting of such a privilege until it had been definitely determined that the highway would be built and this would not be be fore tho July meeting. Sometime ago, Mr. Bell Intimated that ho would pay $1,000 for this privilege. It Is intimated that ono ground for the filing of the protest against the con struction of the bridge road at pre sent was because of the likelihood of Mr. Bell securing it for a right of way for his proposed electric line. At tho last session, tho county commissioners gavo Mr. Bell a fran chise for laying gas pipes In the county roads, providing however that the gas mains must be removed or altered upon thirty days notice from tho county.

The sale of the Pioneer Hardware Company and business to Frank Hague, as announced In The Times yesterday, Is of decided Interest, aside from Its commercial Importance because It marks the complete retire ment of the oldest active business man of southwestern Oregon, Eugene O'Connell. For thirty-three years Mr. O'Connell had been head of the store which has just changed hands and for thirty-nine years he has been actively engaged In business on Coos Bay many years longer than any other man now In business on Coos Bay. In addition to the long years of service in business on Coos Bay. Mr. O'Connell has the distinction of having opened tho first hardware business In southwestern Oregon, west of Roseburg, and also the honor of having started the first sto.res In Marshfleld, Empire City and dn Co quille. Aside from his direct business Interests, Mr. O'Connell has been Identified with the growth of Coos Bay probably closer than any other citizen and the many friends he has made during his long years of acti vity will unite In declaring that he has earned the rest that he now pro poses to take and in tho gratification felt that Mr. O'Connell will always remain a "Coos Baylte.'.' , Cnmo Hero In 1800. Mr. O'Connell came to Coos Bay In 18G9 from California whore ho had spent a few years. He Imme diately launched Into the meat mar ket business and was engaged In this up to 1875, when ho decided to em bark in the hardware business, the growth of the section, then embrac ing oven a wider trade area than now, warranting a fuller lino than could be carried by the general stores then in existence. He bought tho lot on Front street where the Pioneer Hardware Store now stands, and erected the present building and be gan business. Front street then was really canal street for most of It was covered by water all tho time, the hills west of It had not been levelled and tho dirt from them and from the dredging of tho channel not used In reclaiming lots from the Bay. Where tho Flanagan & Bennett bank's hand- somo building now stands was an chored a float to which people rowed and tied their boats and climbed the narrow walks leading to tho few stores built down on tho water front and to tho Ploneor Hardware store. Worked Early nnd Late. The Marshfleld business succeeded but Its success did not como without effort ns Mr. O'Connell's recollection of getting down early In tho morn ing, opening the storo and keeping it open until 9 o'clock or later In tho ovenlng and then spending two or three hours on his books will attest. All business had to extend largo amounts of credit then and the book keeping was no small job. In 1S7S, Empire began to boom and Mr. O'Connell decided to start a branch thoro and tho O'Connell, Whitney nnd Company storo was opened, tho first hardware storo thoro. Two years later, the Coqulllo valley country began to develop and Mr. O'Connell decided that It should havo a hardware storo and tho O'Con nell nnd McCuno hardwaro storo was opened there tho first in tho Co qulllo country. With tho successive years, niost of tho people of Coos Bay nro fnmillar either personally or through tho stores totd..tho;ui by thoso.ho are, In 190-1, Mr. O'Connell's health be- M HOECK'S MILL Large Logging Engine and Rails Brought From Portland On the Alliance. One of tho largest logging engines recently brought to Coos Bay ar rived yesterday from Portland on tho Alliance for tho Larson Logging Company, a subsidiary concern of the new wood working mill which Henry Hoeck and others will shortly start on Coos Bay. Tho locomotive weighed fifty-five tons. Two cars of heavy steel rails, forty tons, ac companied the engine, and It Is ex pected that the construction of the logging road to the proposed mill will begin soon. Mr. Hoeck has been In Astoria conferring with other par ties who will be Interested with him In tho new business. The shipping of the locomotive here resulted In the Portland re porters being "strung" by some ono to tho effect that the engine was for use on the branch which the South ern Pacific Is building from Drain to Coos Bay. The following story ap peared in the Portland Telegram: "Equipment for tho new Drain railroad being built into Marshfleld will make up tho bulk of the cargo which will be taken to Coos Bay by the steamer Alliance this trip. A locomotive weighing C2 tons Is being placed on board. She will also carry to tho same destination 60 tons of steel rails. From now on until the road has been completed tho most of the steamer's d.Qwn freight will be comprised of tho same sort of material." gan to fall him as a result of his close application to business for up wards of a quarter of a century and the Pioneer Hardwaro Company was Incorporated and the details of the management passed off to E. K. Jones, a son-in-law, but Mr. O'Con nell remained Identified with It until yesterday. A MEETING of tho Sisters of Bethany will bo held at the home of Mrs. A. McKeown tomorrow, Wed nesday at 2 p. m.
