The Humboldt Times of Eureka, Cal., last Friday morning contains a story to tho effect that the Fifleld, the new steam lumber schooner which is on her maiden trip from Coos Bay to San Francisco, was In trouble off that bar. No news to this effect has been received on Coos Bay and it is believed that The Humboldt Times's story is badly overdrawn. The Eureka story follows: "The crow of the tug Ranger were pietty sore last night about 7:30 o'clock when they were called out across the bar by the distress signals of the lumber carrying steam schoon er Fifleld, and were handed a lemon when they arrived at her side, re turning to the dock without either ship or money. "It was about 7 o'clock last even ing when the Fifleld, a steam schoo ner running fron Oregon ports to the city, came to anchor off the Hum boldt bar, and after hoisting a dis tress signal, blew her whistle for a tug. The life-saving station tele phoned to the tug-boat men and tho Ranger dashed down to tho bar, tho crew thinking that there was arduous rescue or salvago work In store for them. "When tho anchored steamer was reached, the tug was hailed and nor captain asked about his rates for piloting, which are $50. The cap tain of the Fifleld then requested that he be towed lnto the bay for the same amount, alleging that ho wished to replenish his supply of water. After some bargaining and haggling, the tug captain cast ab,put and re entered the bay, leaving the vessel and her crafty master swinging at the mud hook. "It is the belief of tho tug crew that the steam schooner had suffered a slight mishap to her engines and that her captain wished to secure a cheap tow into tho shelter of tho bay, where the needed ropalrs could be made with ease. If this bo tho case, her master will either meet tho regular tow fee or Ho at anchor until sho rots, states tho tug captain and engineer. "At last accounts last night, as long as tho lookout at the station could distinguish her, tho Fifleld was FIFED HAS BSD TRIP DOWN Tl IN CANADA 1ST ISSUE BONDS SOON City Council Takes Steps to Raise Money to Redeem Outstanding Warrants. The Atarslifleld city council last evening, upon motion by Councilman Lockhart) Instructed City Attorney Farrin to report the "modus operan di" whereby the city shall float a bond Issue to take care of the out standing warrants amounting to $40, 000 or $50,000. Mr. Farrin is to report to the next session of the city council. Mr. Farrin in an off-hand opinion said that it would probably be necessary to alter the city charter to permit an increase in the Indebted ness, the present limit of $25,000 boing less than the city's outstanding debts. Then the question of Issuing bonds can bo submitted to a vote of the people. The matter was brought up again last night by the return of a city warrant by a Seattle concein which said that It couldn't cash it. Tho firm was oi dered paid out of the cur leut expense fund. Conti actor Hugh McLaln alfao touched ou It when It was, proposed to pay one of his bills with a warrant on the city's general fund. He said that ho would not accept such a warrant in payment. He said that ho had to have money to run his business and that not a bank In Marshfield would accept a citj uairant as collateial, some claiming thorn worthless on account of tho issue having exceeded the $25,000 indebtedness limitation fixed by the charter. He said that it was wrong for the city to continue to is sue these warrants as it was ruining Marshfleld's ciedit and giving the municipality a bad reputation. He thought that bonds should be floated and take them up. The expenses of the city are con siderably more than the income and It will be necessary to do something shortly to secure funds to meet the cunent bills. Tho warrants cannot be cashed for less than ten per cent discount now and even. then It is dif ficult to realize on them. Burns Presents Bill. Contractor Burns who recently completed the Second and Cedar street grading contracts has present ed a bill to tho city council for $3,001.48 damages.

After a rather animated discussion last night, the Marshfield city coun cil by a vote of four to two Increased the salaries of Night Watchmen Walter Condron and Wm. Shoup from $75 per month to $90 per month. Councilmen Lockhart, Nas burg, Flanagan and Savage voted for the increase and Councilmen Sac chi and Nelson against it. The Increase in salary was pro vided in a new city ordinance which specifies tho duties of the city offi cials. In addition to the increase in salaries, the policemen are given $1 for each arrest where the offender Is convicted and one-half of the pound fees which they are instru- mntifnl In nr11prtinr' Councilman Sacchi insisted that it j wasn't right to advance the salaries of night watchmen at this time. He said that last year when men wer0 I sca.ee and the cost of living was greater, the night watchmen weiei glad to have the jobs at $75 per month He said that he didn't think it was fair to the taxpayers of Coos Bay to have the salaries lnci eased now. He said that Ashland and Med foid had only one night watchman each and that they only received I $G5 per month. He said that plenty of good men could be secured for $75 per month. In addition to this, he didn't think it was fair to Marshal J. W. Carter to have the night watch men recelye practically as much as he (Carter) does. Ho said that Car ter only received $100 per month and that he was worth four of the nlghtwatchmen. In addition to the numerous duties Marshal Carter at tends to during the day, Councilman Sacchi said that whenever there was any 'trouble doing during the night that necessitated the presence of an officer that Marshal Carter was also called to the scene. Straw and Sncchi Tilt. Mayor Straw, who was present last night but for some reason did not preside, interrupted Mr. Sacchi, de claring that Sacchi didn't know what he was talking about. He said that ho (Straw) knew what was go ing 'on and that the present night watchmen are very efficient officials and have kept Marshfield free from trouble and that they were entitled to more money. Mr. Sacchi resented Mr. Straw's lntlmatiori that ho didn't know what he was talking about and a warm tilt followed. Councilman Lockhart said that Mayor Straw was right and that Marshfield being a Beaport town was riot to be compared with Medford and Ashland. Sacchi said this wasn't true as Medford and Ashland being on tho railroad had more hoboes and hums who caused trouble. Tho now ordinance adopted last night outlines the duties of practical ly all paid city officials, engineer, city recorder, marsha'l, etc., and the various cdmmittees of the city coun cil. New Building Ordinance. A lengthy ordinance specifying! how buildings shall bo constructed jn Marshfield throwing safeguards and precautions around them, wis adopted last night. The ordinance brought up tho old fire limit discis sion. Councilman Sacchi said that it wasn't right that tho wc'r front east of Front street should be ex cluded .from the fire limits. Ho said that the frame structures llkrfy to be built on the water front aro likely to bo a menaco to tho better build lngs which must bo built on tho voe side of Front street.
