SLIDES OX CUSTARD PIE.
Seattle Visitor Declares That Eatable
i Is Poor Skate..
SEATTLE, Wash., Sept. 17. Mike
Hart, a shingle weaver of Everett,
after attending the Indian Canoe
races at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific
Exposition, on Seattle Day, declares
that custard pie is against public
policy and that there ought to be a
lawpassed against its manufacture
and consumption.
Hart, together with some friends
was enjoying a luncheon in the
woods which border Lake Unjon on
the Exposition grounds, when the In
dian races attracted his attention.
The canoes had just turned the flag
and. wero on the home stretch and
in the excitement of the moment he
forgot that there were other picnic
parties between himself and the
lake. He was making a wild dash
for the shore In order the to see the
finish, when his foot planted square
ly in the middle of a custard pie
which had been placed carefully In
the grass by Its owner.
Friends who saw the accident de
clare that Hart slid for fully twenty
five feet on his custard pie skate be
fore he was finally brought to a stop
against a tree. He sustained a
sprained ankle from the experience
and left the grounds with the use of
a cane and the assistance of two
friends.
The owner of the plo was extreme
ly angry until he discovered that
Hart had sprained his ankle, which
he charitably extended his com
miseration. FEAR FOR DREDGE.
There is considerable Interest
manifested around town today as to
the progress the tug Richard Holy

crossed out over the bar other than
that brought by men on the Break
water who said the tug vu3 making
three or four miles an hour when
they passed it. With Uo strong
northwest wind that is pre.-ailing to
day, the progress will .be much less
and the seaworthiness of the Oregon

T
Coos Bay Water Company Ar
ranges to Improve North
Bend Service.
The Coos Bay Water Company has
completed arrangements for the erec
tion of a 50,000 gallon water tank
on the highest point In North Bend
to furnish water service to all parts
of that city. The big tank has just
been completed by the North Bend
Sash and Door Factory and will he
erected within a few days.
Manager J. H. Flanagan of the
company stated this morning that
th,c jig tank would bo kept filled by
j.u tctrlc pump working on tho
iaal:i from the company's reservoir
on Pony Inlet. Besides enabling tho
company to furnish water to many
points in North Bend that are now
difficult to supply, it is figured that
that new tank will greatly Increase
the water power In that city.
It will probably take the greater
part of the month to Install tho new
tank and additional mains required
before it can bo of service.

The president is in the land of the

Alva Doll 'Says Coos Bay
Should Have Been Better
Advertised.
"Coos Bay missed an elegant
chance to do some of its most ef
fective boosting by falling to have a
representative at the Seattle Fair
yho could devote all his time plac
ing the advantages of this soctlon
before the crowds at the Exposition,"
said Alva Doll who returned today
from tho Sound. "Mr. Ward has
been doing some good work but his
time has been taken up by his own
business at tho Exposition. Eugene
and other Oregon localities havo able
representatives a tthe exposition and
aro deriving big benefits from their
work. We simply missed a big op
portunity. "After a trip to Portland and tho
Sound cities, I am more convinced
than ever. that they can't get away
from Coos Bay. If they wero ablo
to build cities there, we ought to ho
ablo to secure a metropolis here In
no time. None of them havo any
thing like tho resources that Coos
Bay has. The attention of tho big men
Is being turned towards Coos Bay
and we are going to feel benefits
from it soon,
"Tho exposition Is a good ono. Tho
grounds aro tho most beautiful of
any fair I have over attended. TJio
forestry building Is especially good.
"Tho secretary of tho Chamber of
Commerce at Portland told mo ho
was having many Inquiries about
Coos Bay and urged that we send
hlin more literature about this sec
tion. All ho has Is a small pamphlet
