The steam schooner Fifield swung
out from the slip of Kruse & Banks
shipyard, North Bend, at exactly
2:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon, for
her trial trip. It was made the oc
casion for a notable public function
and as the steamer moved out into
the sun kissed waters of the Bay, it
carried a large and merry party of
Marshfleld and North Bend people
who came in response' to an invita
tion from the owner, Mr. A. F. Esta
hrook of San Francisco, to luncheon
aboard the boat and to dedicate the
new vessel to the commerce of a
greater Coos Bay.
The Fifield is a new type of vessel
built on strictly original lines and
the owner and builders have great
expectations for her. The only other
boat of similar model is the Bandon,
nlso owned by Mr. Estabrook, but
the Bandon has no passenger accom
modations, while the Fifield Is pro
vided with the finest accommodations
of any steamer on the coast for thirty
passengers. Every state room Is
provided with the finest equipment
nnd furnishings that could be secur
ed . including running hot and cold
water, electric lights and all the
modern conveniences.
Tho vessel is one of the most
staunchly built boats on the coast,
and for her draught Is one of tho lar
g' st lumber carriers on tho coast.
d -.awing only thirteen feet when
loaded to a capacity of 700,000 feet.
She is provided with twin screws and
two sets of boilers and engines so
that if any accident happens to one
the other may bo placed in imme
diate commission. She is provided
with a solid bulkhead fore nnd aft
She has a speed of eleven knots per
hour..
Except in one or two minor do
tails tho trial trip wns thoroughly
successful. After swinging into the
channel, the vessel turned and steam
ed down to Old North Bend amid
salutes from tho whistles of tho
factories and mills and cheers from
tho people on tho shore.
The Fifield goes into immediate
commission between Coos Bay and
San Francisco making tho round-trip
every ten days and carrying both,
freight and passengers, between
those ports. Her outgoing cargo
will bo lumber from tho C. A. Smith
mill for which she has been engaged
for some time taking lumber from
tho mill to Bay Point, Cal. On her
return trip slio will bring n general
freight cargo and passangors from
San Francisco.
"Jack" Flanngan has been on
gagod as the Marshfleld represen
tative for Mr. Estabrook and will
havo charge of tho passenger and
freight traffic from this point, and

at North Bend.

ed by the Marshfleld Chamber of
Commerce, North Bend Chamber of
a
Commerce, Coos Bay Chamber of
Commerce, North Bend city council
and Marshfleld city council:
Whereas, the conditions affecting
the Coos Bay country and its large
agricultural, timber and coal re
sources, require the immediate im
provement and extension of its trans
portation facilities by rail and water,
ind such improvement and exten
sion aro necessary, not only for the
success of its present largo business
enterprises, btit for the development
of Central and Southwestern Ore
gon, by the opening of the natural
3oaport at this point as' an ocean
outlet for the vast and rich region,
and
cularly to those of the Southern Pa
cific Company. Now, it be
Resolved, that President E. H.
Harriman of said Southern Pacific
Company be and hereby Is invited by
the city council to visit Coos Bay
during his sojourn in Oregon, that
he may personally view and fully
appreciate the opportunity which
this bay affords for the building of
a great commercial seaport and that
the people of Coos Bay cities may
correct impressions which he may
have received through false reports,
of their attitude towards the plans
of the Southern Pacific Company,
and
Resolved, that Mayor L. J. Simp
sot of North Bend, Mayor E. E.
Straw of Marshfleld, and Mr. C. A.
bmlth, act as a committee of the
city of Marshfleld, and personally
meet Mr. Harriman at Portland or
San Francisco, or at such other con
venient place as they may think
best, and extend to him this Invita
tion, urging him to accept the hos
pitalities of the bay and good will
of Its people, and
Resolved, that the committee be
asked to wait on Vice-President C.
J. MiUIs, vice-president and general
manager qt tho Coos Bay, Roseburg,
Eastorn Railroad and Navigation
Company, and request him to accom
pany them to meet President Harri
man and unite with them in urging
the transportation needs of Coos
Bay.

Whereas, the position of Marsh- , rlo,t
veui, isortn liend, umpire, Eastslde,
and associated municipalities, is ex
"optional and unusually Important,
ind cannot be properly and fully un
derstood unless personally examined
by the master mind which has the
direction and control of present
transportation lines, both by rail and
water, and
. Whereas, much capital has been
"nvested In the several municipal'
Mes mentioned, by reason of the
promise of the high officials of the
Southern Pacific Company that the
ine of railroad begun at Drain, Ore
gon, with a view to connecting Coos
lay with the lines controlled by the
Southern Pacific Company, would be
mmediately built, but which lines
iro apparently abandoned, and
Whereas, It has been reported in--iorrectly
that the people of Coos
Bay, In their desire to protect tho
best Interests of the bay, have been
lostllo to the Southern Pacific Com
pany and its proposed railroad exten
sion to and across tho bay to tho
"Itles mentioned and no such hosti
lity exists, but in fact all tho peoplo
of this locality aro warmly friendly
to all railroad enterprises and partl-
Evans of Xortli Beml, Member
of Delegation.
North Bend officials have decided
to add W. P. Evans, president of the
North Bend Chamber of Commerce,
to tho committee from Coos Bay to
call on E. H. Harriman and invite
him to visit Coos Bay and to dis
cuss the Drain-Coos Bay railroad
matter. Mr. Evans was formerly
prominently connected with the
Southern Pacific before he came to
Coos Bay and entered business for
himself. It was also understood that
Mr. Evans planned to call on Mr.
Harriman this' summer, anyway.
