Coroner at Langlois to Conduct Fifteenth Exhibition of South-
Investigation of Curry County
Accident.
Little additional details concern
ing the Curry county tragedy which
ended In the death of August Helm
ing of Marshfield, -were obtainable
today owing to difficulty with the
long distance phone wires. Efforts
were being made to have the Inquest
held at once in Curry county so that
the body could be brought here to
morrow for burial.
Messrs. Reynolds and Balnes en
deavored to have Coroner T. J. Lewis
of Coos county, come over to Bandon
and hold the Inquest but Uie law
prohibits that. After consulting with
Judge John F. Hall over the long
distance phone last evening, It was
decided to have the justice of the
peace at Langlois take charge of the
matter.
It was understood that the coro
ner's jury would be empannelled at
noon today and dispose of the case.
A verdict of accidental shooting is ex
pected. NEW TRAINCHEDULE

Ways Firs-t Day.
The new train schedule of the Coos
Bay, Roseburg and Eastern railroad
which became effective yesterday
proved a decided success, the passen
ger traffic exceeding expectations and
the trains making the time to the
minute. General Manager C. J. Mll
11s made the trip both ways on the
train and is greatly pleased
with it and especially with the in
crease in passenger traffic which,
marked the first day's business.
The new schedule of two trains
each way a day Is certain to knit
Coos Bay and the Coquille Valley
closer together both socially and
commercially, much to the gratifica
tion of business men .In both places.

Steamer Coos Bay Has Pecu

The steamer Coos Bay, built on
Coos Bay and which ran out of this
port for a number of years but now
being operated by the Pacific Coast
Steamship Company between San
Francisco and San Pedro, had an ex
alting battle with a monster whale
on one of its recent trips. The story
Is of considerable Interest on Coos
Bay as Captain Bowen Is known by
local mariners.
A San Francisco dispatch tells the
story as follows:
"From the deck of the little coast

James Bowen waged battle with a
mammoth whale while hjs vessel was
off Cayucos, on her way up the coast
The whale was observed making

Great Improvements are being

built by H. R. Masales and the pavi

work represented a large outlay, the

"Twice he emptied the contents of
the revolver, but the bullets ap
parently had little effect upon the
wh3le, as it kept up its attack upon
the vessel. Finally, in a last effort
to escape from the whale, the skipper
ordered full speed ahead and grad
ually the Coos Bay crept ahead of
her pursuer.
"Speaking of the experience short
ly after the Coos Bay's arrival in
port, a member of the crew said:
"For some moments it looked as
if the whale would surely hit us, and
considerable excitement was caused
aboard the ship. The whale was all
of 100 feet long and seemed parti
cularly vicious."

Are You Going
?
C. A. Smith Company's Aver
age Cut Last Week Was
252,850 Feet Daily.
The C. A. Smith mill last week
established a new record for a six
day's cut of lumber, averaging 252,
S50 feet per day. This is slightly in
excess of the estimated capacity of
the mill which was, when built, ex
pected to average about 250,000 fee'
per day. General Manager J. E.
Oren is highly gratified over the re
cord as are all the others about the
mill, but they do not think that they
have reached the maximum yet and
may exceed last week's record this
week.
The largest cut of a single day last '
week was 266,143 feet and the mini-'
mum 234, S24 feet.
Demand Is Increasing.
The demand for lumber is steadily
Increasing but as yet there has been
no advance in prices, if the demand
continues to increase, an advance in
prices will necessarily followed with
in a short time.
The Nann Smith sailed from San j
Pedro for Coos Bay Saturday even

day as she comes direct, bringing I

The Fifield, the new vessel which
Kruse & Banks have just coapleted

for the A. F. Estabrook Company of
