Vessel Meets With Accident
While Crossing Out at Noon
Today.
EUREKA NEAR AND
GIVES TOW LINE
Not Thought to Be In Danger
and Will Be Aided By
Tug.
According to reports from the
United States Life Saving Station,
near the bar, the M. F. Plant met
with an accident after crossing out
this forenoon. Just what the na
ture of what it was could not be
ascertained, but it is believed there
that she lost her rudder. The Eu-;
reka which crossed out immediately
after the M. P. Plant, threw a tow
line to the latter and Is anchored
with her. No distress signals were
displayed by either ship, so it is not
believed that anything serious occur
red. The M. F. Plant struck a rough
bar, several seas breaking over her
and causing the vessel to pitch
badly. During the pitching, it is
believed that she struck one of the
shoals that had recently been dis
covered on the bar.
The bar was pretty rough and the
Columbia, which went down soon
afterward, decided to remain in for
a while unless distress signals were
shown by the Plant or the Eureka.
The Breakwater and some other ves
sels which went down to the lower
Bay intending to cross out decided
to wait a few-hours or possibly until
morning before doing so.
Many went down in launches
from Marshfleld to the lower bay as
soon as the news reached here.

Plant is as follows:

Wm.' Ollivant of Roseburg,
Succumbs Suddenly In East
ern Cods County.
ROSEBURG, Ore., Oct. 24. Tele
phone messages received hero an
nounce the sudden death of AV. H.
Ollivant, a well known resident of
this city,, while looking over his tim
ber claim beyond Remote, on the
Myrtle Point stage road. l,n com
pany with his son-in-law, J. M.
Throne, of this city, Mr. Ollivant
went over to Remote Tuesday to in
spect their timber claims. This
morning they left there accompanied
by another man who went into the
woods on Rock Creek, a few miles
below. Later in the day they sat
down on a log to rest, when Mr.
Ollivant was suddenly attacked with
heart failure and fell over dead.
Coroner Jewett was notified of the
occurence, but as It happened in Coos
county it was beyond his jurisdiction.
The Coos county officers will be noti
fied, but as the facts are well known
it Is probable that no Inquest will be
held.
Mr. Ollivant was upward of 50
years of age and is survived by his
wife, and daughter,Mrs. Throne; two
brothers and two sisters: E. Olli
vant, of Looking Glass; T. M. Olli
vant and Mrs. Emma Howard, of
Roseburg, and Mr-. T. J. AVllliams, r f
AVllbur.
CITY OFFICIALS AND J. AA . St -ATER
DECIDE UPON PRELIMI
NARY SCHEME VOn NAMIXG
AND NUMBERING THOROUGH
FARES. At an informal conference of Mayor
E. Straw and other city officials with
City Engineer Sandberg and Chair
man J. AV. Snover, of a special com
mittee from the Chamber of Com
merce, a preliminary system for nam
ing and numbering the streets of
Marshfleld was agreed upon. It was
left in the hands of City Attorney
Farrin and Mr. Snover to work out
and will be presented to the city
council for adoption next Tuesday
night, probably.
The new plan is to disregard the
present names of streots altogether.
Then starting at tho water front, the
streets running north and south will
be named consecutlv.ely, the first one
Frst street, the second Second street,
etc. '
The streets running east and west
will be given proper names. For
convenience in numbering, "C" street
which may be renamed, will bo taken
as the dividing line and "North"
and "South" after the street number
given will designate the direction the
house or building Is from "C" street
or whatever It may be called.
"ln numbering, one hundred num
bers will be allowed to each block, so
that the number of a building will
show Just how many blocks It is
from "C" street (or whatever it may
be called) or the waterfront.
It is likely that the short streets
will be designated as "places."
Thus if there is a short street some
where just west of Second street, It
will be called "Second Place." 7The
short streets running east and west
will also be termed "places" and they
will be distinguished from the north
and south short streets by having
the proper name that tho nearest
through street bears prefixed.
The committee has not decided
whether the north and south thor
oughfares shall bo termed streets or
termed avenues.
