Visitors and Home Fans Given
a Surprise In Result of
Sunday's Game.
By a score of five to three, Marsh
fleM defeated Coqullle yesterday and
surprised the home fans, abouf as
much as they did the visitors. The
game was a fairly good one from
start to finish.
The feature of the game was the
playing of "Mickey" McKeown. Four
hits out of four times to bat three
of them absolutely clean and two
stellar catches in center, his only
chances, were his record. As
Marshfield got only four hits off Gar
diner, "Mickey's" performance stood
out all the more In the game.
Gardiner got fourteen strike outs
but several wild pitches cost him
tho game. Among the fans, some
attributed the passed balls more to
Catcher Flanagan than to Gardiner.
While Flanagan was able to get his
mlt against some of them, most of
them wero beyond his reach and
could hardly be counted as errors
against him.
' Meller, a new twlrler that Man
ager Burkhart picked up In the
North last week, showed up well in
the latter part of the game. During
the last few Innings, he appeared to
round into -shape and pitched better
and fielded himself better than he
Bhowed up early in the game.
Coqullle scoied its only runs in
the fourth and fifth innings. In the
fourth, Kelley was up and flew out
to Thompson. Porterfleld singled
and went to third on a hit by Flana
gan. Porterfleld and Flanagan scor
ed on Meiler's error on a hit by
Gardiner who landed safe on first.
Collier got a base on balls and Gardi
ner was caught trying to steal home.
Howell got first on Merchant's fum
bling a grounder but wns later
caught on second by Meller. In the
fifth, Johnson singled and Lorenz
followed with a safe one, pushing
Johnson around to third. Meller
failed to connect with an easy one
from McBrlde and Johnson scored.
Kelley got to first on an error by
Thompson but Lorenz was caught
at the plate. Porterfleld went out
and Flanagan fanned.
Marshfield scored in the fourth,
fifth and eighth. In the fourth, Mc
Keown started with a single and
stole second. NIcholls struck out.
Thompson walked and so did Meller.
Merchant sacrificed, bringing Mc
Keown in. Thompson scored on a
nassed ball or rather a wild throw
byGardlner and McDonald struck
out. In the nitn, jucuuicneuu went
put, Johnson to Lorenz. Troch
walked. Monohan was thrown out
at first by Porterfleld. McKeown
hit safe, bringing Troch In. NIcholls
reached first on Kelley's error and
McKeown was caught trying to
steal third.
In tho eighth, McKeown hit safe
over first. The play was close and
Gardiner spiked McKeown while
trying to cover the first bag. Cowan
took McKeown's place and stole
second, scoring on a wild third
strike which landed NIcholls safe on
first Gardiner attempted to cover
the home Plate and grew Jrate at
somo action of Cowan's In coming
home. In fact, Mr. Gardiner became
so angry that he wanted to fight but
Marshal Carter wouldn't stand for
the latter. However, he got pretty
wild and NIcholls scored easily on
a passed ball. Thompson and Meller
struck out and Merchant hit an easy
grass cutter to Kelley.
M
The long hit of the day was made
by Flnnagan in the seventh but avail
ed him nothing, Kelley and Porter
fleld had gone out on easy ones Into
Meiler's hands. Then Flanagan
landed It away out in left field. On

ON THE SURVEY
Irving Chandler Returns From
a Visit at Headquarters
In Camas Valley.
Irving Chandler returned today
from a few days visit at the camp of
Chief Engineer Haines In Camas Val
ley. Mr. Chandler says they are do
ing excellent work and getting over
the ground rapidly, The work will
soon begin on the final survey, the
preliminary work having practically
been completed through the pass.
There Is no question now but that
they will have the one per cent
grade.
Chief Engineer Haines expects to
be able to return here about the first
of the month for a conference with
the officers and directors of the road
relative to the survey for the balance
of the line, which will be easy aside,
perhaps from securing right of way
at reasonable terms.
Messrs. Butler, Grimes and Pain
ter of the surveying party expect to
come in to spend tho Fourth of July
at their homes in Marshfield.
FIRST FOURTH
ACCIDENT HERE
Jack Hanlon Has Box of Toy
Pistol Caps Explode In His
Pocket.
"Jack" Hanlon, the ten-year-old
son of the proprietor of the C003
hotel was he victim of the first
Fourth of July accident on Coos
Bay. That he was not seriously In
jured is due probably to his cool
headedness at a trying moment.
With some companions abput tho
same age, he started his celebration
of the nation's natal day a couple of
weeks early. Yesterday he had a
toy pistol and a box of caps and was
firing at a rate that would have
made the Minute men at Bunker Hill
jealous. Suddenly Jack heard a pop
ping near his rear hip pocket where
he was carrying his box of fresh
caps. He reached around to get
more for his gun and then some
thing exploded. His hand felt as
though he had stuck It into a red
hot Are and the paste board box and
overalls we'O soon burning.
The rest of the story was probably
best told by Jack to his mother when
he reached home. He said, "Mam
ma. I didn't want my new overalls
to burn so I pulled them off. and with
tho other boys we soon had the fire
tramped out."
Jack's hand was pretty badly
burned and blistered but the injury
is not a serious one.

Speaking today of the movement
Senator Bourne said "This is the
psychological moment for the adop
tion of a great reform in revenue
raising and corporation control and
the proposed provision properly
drawn must Insure publicity to the
government, at least as to all cor
poration earnings and thus eliminate
any future possibility of concealed
equity. Corporations would be pop
ularized and the tendencies toward
socialism would be minimized."

Contractor Shoots Employe
Saspected of Estranging

(By Associated Press.)
PORTLAND, Ore., June 21.
Richard T. DIckerson, a grade and
stone contractor, today fired five bul
lets Into the body of Henry Garrett,
one of his employes, because he sus
pected the latter of having brought
about the estrangement between
himself and his wife, who left him
three week ago and went to live
with her parents, preparatory to su
ing for a divorce. They were di
vorced once before but were remar
ried early thl3 year. DIckerson met
Garrett in front of his barn and
chlded him about having been with
Mrs. DIckerson yesterday. Garrett
laughed at DIckerson, who became
enraged, drew a revplver from which
he flred five shots Into Garrett's
body. DIckerson telephoned the au
thorities and drove into town and
surrendered to the sheriff.

C. A. SMITH ON
REFORESTRATION
Lumberman Tells of His Gen
eral Plans For Work In
This Section.
The reforestation plans of C. A.
Smith Lumber and Manufacturing
Company for their big holdings In
this section will probably be an
nounced In detail next month when
Mr. Smith comes to Coos Bay to con
fer with Messrs Lafon and Lager
strom. the forestry experts, who are
now Inspecting the lands and famili
arizing themselves with conditions
here. The plans of the company are
attracting national attention in lum
ber and timber circles as the work
will probably bo carried on a greater
scale here than has been attempted
any place by a private concern here
tofore. The Oregon Conservation Associa
tion whose object Is the conservation
of the natural resources of the state
has just issued in a pamphlet form
a letter from C. A. Smith in which
he tells of his hopes for the work.
In It, he says:
"We are In receipt of your favor
of tho Cth, addressed to our Oregon
branch. They very properly for
warded tho same to this office and
we are very glad to be advised that
there is a movement on foot for the
conservation of the Oregon resources.
We are vitally Interested In tho State
of Oregon and would like to be rep
resented In this movement with you.
If a membership in your association
Is possible wo should like to make
application. In any case, we want
the public-spirited citizens in the
state of Oregon to know that we are
heartily with you in the conservation
movement. We have mills nt Marsh
field, Oregon, and Bay Point, Cali
fornia, although our head office Is
still located hero at Minneapolis. We
personally hold about three hundred
thousand acres of timber land In
your state and nearly tho same
amount In other Etates. Our fiist
Western maniifnrturlng plant, how
ever, was nt Marshfield, and there
fore we are more actively engaged In
this business In Oregon thnn In any
other state with tho exception of
Minnesota. Our timber will all be
cut here within tho next two years,
and after that time all our energies
will be centered on the Pacific Coast.
It was never possible for us to con
servo our timber in Minnesota, ow
ing to tho methods of taxation here.
Tho taxes on standing timber have
the last number of years been so
exorbitant that it was necessary for
tho lumbermen to remove nil the
growth from tho land In order to get
anything out of It. This having been
the case, several years ago wo dis
posed of all our lands in Minnesota,
only reserving tho timber, We have,
however, for years been advocntes of
the principle of reforo3tratlon and
resolved on beginning our operations
In Qregon to carry out tho Ideals wo
had set for ourselves. AVo have
studied tho matter thoroughly; aro
conversant with the efforts In this
direction In this country; know from
personal observation what Dr.
Schcnck has done at Blltmorc, North
Carolina, In this lino; what tho state
of Now York Is doing In tho Adlron
dacks and what tho states of Massa
chusetts and Pennsylvania are doing
within their boundaries on a small
scale,. Wo know of many sporadic
attempts for reforestations under
taken by lumbermen. Wo know of
none who havo continued, olther for
lack of enthusiasm or lack of com
petent advlco on tho subject. How
over, we feel that we are competent
to undertake this matter, and to that
end wo had tho United States gov

and Douglas county holdings last
