Adjutant General Finzer of
Oregon Will Visit Here to
Scan Field. -
PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 5. The
Telegram says: "After passing a
week In the Coos Bay district, British
Consul James Laldlaw has arrived at
the conclusion that the time Is hardly
ripe for him to appoint a Vice-Consul
to assist him in looking after that
section of the country. He says that
as yet there Is not enough foreign
shipping in and out of Coos Bay to
warrant an ofllce there.
"But it is a line country," says Mr.
Laldlaw, "and is being developed rap
idly. I do not think it will be long
until the volume of shipping to and
from there will be greatly increased.
The Coos Bay bar is less than a ship's
length across. The government jet
ty is gradually wearing that away,
and at no distant day I am of the
opinion that big ocean-carriers will
be making regular calls at tho Coos
Bay ports. One of the finest sawmill
plants I ever had the pleasure of
looking over Is at Coos Bay. Every
thing had a prosperous air, and I
predict a bright futuie for that sec
tion."
"Consul Laldlaw will leave in a
day or so to make an inspection of
Grays Harbor, with tho view of ap
pointing a vice-consul for that sec
tion.
"Recently Mr. Laldlaw's district
was extended so as to include Alaska,
now comprising that territory, Ore
gon, AVashlngton, Idaho and Monta
na. By long odds It is tho largest
consulate district in tho United Sta
tes. On account of the vast territory,
making It Impossible for him to
traverse It regularly, Mr. Laidlaw
finds that ho will be obliged to ap
point a number of vice-consuls. Soon
after his territory was enlarged he
appointed a vice-consul, stationed at
Nome, to look after the Interests of
British subjects in Alaska."
Steamship Arrives With Big
Cargo and Large Number of
Passengers.
The Alliance arrived in early to
day from Portland with a big cargo
of freight and a large number of
passengers. She brought much pipe
for the government dredge which
will begin work in tho bay in about
three days when Capt. Starkey and
his crew repairs the hole made by
the piling. The dredge was floated
today.
A heavy fog made entrance to the
bay very difficult this morning, and
Capt. Olson, had to remain outside
for a few hours. The Alliance will
sail tomorrow morning for Portland.
Among those who camo in on her

rather reflect on their casting ability
but they can fish, Messrs. Farrin and
Hammond will produce tho fine
strings of trout they landed as evi
dence. But as to the accidents, they hap
pened within a few moments of each
other. The way they were hauling
in tho big trout was a wonder, but
when they hooked themselves, fish
ing was all off. They strenuously
deny that one hooked the other ac
cidentally and then the other caught
his fellow fisherman out of revenge.
Of course, they were a little
jouchy about displaying themselves
with the fish hooks In their ear and
head so they quietly slipped into
town last evening and called Dr. J.
AV. Ingram who quickly extricated
the hooks and dressed the wounds
which won't bother either seriously.
