New Steam Schooner Reported
to Be In Trouble Off
Eureka, Calif.
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

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.

City Council After Warm Dis
cussion Grants Raise to
Night Watchmen.
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

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.
