COOS BAY'S CLIMATE GIVEN AN
OTHER BOOST BY COMPARISON

The recent cold snap and touch of
winter that all Oregpn, together with

the state. The lowest temperature
recorded here was 24 abovo while on
Sunday, the coldest day throughout
the stai , the lowest recorded here
was 26 above. This coupled with
the fact that the two Inches of snow

in the country.

the season, the Breakwater reached
Coos Bay last evening. From Port

trip 'down the Columbia, having to
break the Ice as she progresses'. Af

a result, only two of her large list
of passengers were able to get down

The Myrtle Point Enterprise says:
"Surveyor Whereat wa3 up from
Marshfleld last weelr running somo
more lines near the proposed site of
the new depot. He Is quoted a3
stating that the proposed depot will
soon be built, and it is expected
that work on the new structure wil'
be commenced as soon as weather j
will permit in the spring. It has, been
reported that the company intends
to move the old depot building up
from the old site to the new one,
but it is "unlikely that under the
terms of tho agieement "with Hon.
Blnger Hermann, the owner of the
site, that It will be used for depot
purposes,, it may be used as a

FOR PROJECTS
Chamber of Commerce to
Raise Money to Secure
Harbor Improvements.
A( a meeting of the executive com
mittee of the Chamber of Commerce
yesterday, it was decided that more
funds must be secured to defray the
expenses of the representatives of
jCoo3 Bay at Washington and Salem
to arrange for the Improvement of
the harbor and bar. Sometime ago,
a small amount was raised for this
purpose but additional funds are
'now needed to complete the work.
Reports from Washington' and
Salem show that the th'ngs the citi
zens of Coos Bay have set about to
accomplish will undoubtedly be se
cured now If proper attention is glv-
'en them. Consequently it would be
very poor policy not to liave the pro
gram carried out. The expenses
from now on will not be great.
i G. W. Carlton is chairman of the
committee named to solicit funds for
this purpose and will begin his work
soon. Any size contribution will be
appreciated and will aid In the work
and everyone who feels able to give
to the movement should see Mr. Carl
ton as Mr. Carlton is unable to per
sonally solicit everyone.

These evidently wanted to discover
whore the leak was coming from.
Facts will bo asked for Monday.
The offers ot money and of Feder

took the matter good naturedly,
others felt they might bo under sus
picion of having been tempted and
wanted thejr skirts cleared. Ralph
Williams, Republican National com
mitteeman, and J. II. Brown, ono of
Fulton's friends, left for Portland.
Williams denied knowing anything
of money bribes, but admitted op
position was organizing against

tho hotel discussing tho senatorial
situation. The object watr to solidi

wore there to hear the others and
not do any talking.

and that they proceqd w'lth their
organization. Stephen Rogers was
nominated but -declined, whereupon
H. Geddes placed in nomfnation

mously elected. On taking the chair
he made a few appropriate remarks
and suggested that the first ques
tion was tho orgainzation ot tho as
sociation.. Upon niotfon of .J E.
ritzgerald, it was unanimously de
cided to proceed with the work of
organizing. Miss Violet Hender&on
was elected temporary secretary and

consisting- of H. Geddes, A, O. Rog
ers and Geo. W. Beale to diaw up
constitution and by-law after
which tho meeting adjourned until
12:30 to perfect organization.

tee on organization, which was
