lives to, the fact, that they can swim
as the aeddent occurred when they
were far from everyone.
The two were rowing and fishing
yesterday afternoon and just what
caused .the canoe to overturn, neither
knows. They were about In mid
stream when they were precipitated
Into the river and It was not without
difficulty that they' succeeded In
reaching the shore.
Usually Mrs. Farrin has a life pre
server In her -canoe but yesterday
this was missing and they had to re
ly entirely on their ability to swim,
the canoe being a small one wmcii
will barely float Its own weight when
overturned.
Both ladles came down to Marsh

their numerous friends. While they
declare, "''It wasn't anything," their
friends appear to think otherwise.

Effort to Secure Land In Myr

Hard Fought.
'It is expected that the first hearing:
of the contest before United States
Land Commissioner L. A. Llljeqvisfc
of the 'claim of Samuel D. Pulford or.
Myrtle Point for entry on a quarter
section of alleged coal land In tho
government timber reserve east or
Myrtle Point, will bo concluded thlff
afternoon. The hearing has been to
progress four days, the government
officials going into the case verjr
carefully. Following the conclusions
of the Pulford contest, stipulations
will probably be made whereby tho
other claimants for the alleged coaU
land will rest their claims on the
same evidence as Introduced fn the
Pulford case. An adjourned bearing;
will bo held In Roseburg, August 101.

On cross-examination by Messrsv
Shaw and Pollard, who are repre
senting the federal land office, a wit
ness for the claimants admitted that
there Is between 13,000,000 and 15,
000,000 feet of timber on each or
the claims. However, they claim'
that this timber is not worth more
than twenty-five cents per thousand'
feet owing to the alleged Inability
to log by the fork of the Coqulllo
River which will necessitate the-
construction of railroad to develops
the timber.
The government claims that then
timber in question consists largely;
of the valuable white cedar and flr
It Is also claimed that this kind oC
timber Is worth about $2 per thou
sand standing which would make the
timbor on each claim worth about
$30,000 or eight times as much as
the claimants admit.
