VERDICT IS ABOUT

Not Likely That Result of In

Before Then.
Col. W. H. Ilolabird, E. H. Harrl
inan's special representative to se
cure data on the possible railroad
business In and out of Coos Bay, has
left via Uoseburg for Portland where
he will compile his report. All pos
f slble figures on the present business
have been furnished him, C. J. Mlllls,
general manager of the local South
ern Pacific properties, sending some
that had not been completed when
Col. Holabird left.
Of course, It was out of the ques
tion for Col. Holabird to commit
himself on what his report would be.
However, judging from the tenor of
his conversation along general lines,
those who met him towards the last
ot his stay are convinced that It
will bo favorable. Of course, It will
take several weeks to compile the
report and go to the usual red tape
of submitting it to Mr. Harriman so
that the announcement of his deci
sion cannot be expected until late in
November or about the first of the
year. Mr. Harriman's decision will
probably be in the nature of an an
nouncement that work will be resum
ed on a certain date.
When the compiling was started, it
was found impossible to secure the
exact tonnage of all the vessels ply
ing out of Coos Bay and the Co
quille, but good estimates were se
cured which will probab'y be satis
factory. Not a Woman Or Child Among
Forty-Three Passengers
On Steamship.
The Alliance arrived in at 3
o'clock this morning from Portland
with forty-three passengers and
about three hundred tons of freight.
A peculiar feature of the passenger
list Is that every passenger was a
man, not a woman or child being on
the steamship. It is stated that it
is probably the first time that so
many passengers wero brought Into
Coos Bay without women and chil
dren being included In the number.
While at Portland, the Alliance
went Into dry dock and had a now
propeller blade put In to replace one
broken on the last previous trip
down. The Alliance will sail for
Portland tomorrow at 1 o'clock.
A heavy fog made the trip up
the bay this morning especially hard.
Capt. Olson made it without landing
on a shoal.
Among the incoming passengers
were the following:
L, E. Burton, W. W. Felter, Frank
White, T. H. Ackley, J. W. Creighton,
M. Flannagan, C. C. Kraner, H. F.

nesday of last week, both parties liv

has a local reputation for her refusal
to speak above a whisper during the
past twenty years, except to her fam
ily. She would answer the telephone,
however, and one day the groom
heard her talk over the phono and
thereafter Insisted that sho should
speak to him. No reason has ever
been assigned for her constant re
fusal to talk."
Simpson had been making a tour of
inspection of the Smith mill and after
it was over, walked out to the dock.
Mr. Simpson reached the edge of the
wharf and looked over and either
becoming dizzy or from poor eye
sight dropped off. He fell headfore
most and went completely under.
The water is quite deep near there
but Mr. Hewitt succeeded In get
ting down and getting hold of him
and the latter's call for help was
responded to by a longshoreman who
pulled them both out.
Mr. Hewitt refuses to admit there
was anything heroic in the rescue and
Capt. Simpson is little the worse for
the ducking.
