Violated Gamo Law. Yesterday
Clifford Downs was arrested by
Game Wardens Wright and Noah
for shooting ducks out of a boat on
the Bay. It seems that the game
wardens saw the alleged violation
personally. Owing to the offender
being under eighteen, he will be
tried in luvenile court Instead of
before Justice Pennock.
Is Arrested. E. C. Andersont a
former Marshfleld restaurant man,
but now a resident of Libby, was ar
rested today on a warrant Issued by
Justice Pennock, charging him with
assault. The complainant Is C. M.
Gage of Libby who alleges that An

be fixed when It is ascertained when
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney L. A.
Liljeqvlst can come here from Co

side In Bandon near their parentB.
Although living comparatively near
together, It has not been possible
for all of them to get together at
the same time since 1895, so next

a very happy event.

the government land ofllce man
whose appearance on the Bay yester
day caused much talk, stated today
that be did not have anything to

many friends on the-Bay. He will

NORTH BEND NEWS
The Ladles Aid Society of the
North Bend United Brethren church,
met at the church on Union avenue
yesterday afternoon.
E. R. Hunt and wife and Frank
Hodson and wife came down from
South Coos River yesterday to at
tend the funeral of John Preuss.
August Hoelllng had a narrow
escape from drowning while unload
ing apples from a boat at the wharf
Thursday. The boat overturned and
Hoelllng was plunged Into the Bay.
In falling he managed to catch on to
the edge of the wharf but got in
nearly to his shoulders. His lusty
yelling soon brought aid and he was
pulled out. For a time, some' who
heard him thought that he was
merely trying out his voice for the
next meeting of the council when he
will again urge the ndoptlon of the
ordinance providing for the issuance
of $100,000 bonds.
NORTH BEND WOMAN
DIES AT HOSPITAL
Mrs. Annn D. Ames, Who Was Re
cently Sent to Salem Institution
Succumbs There.
Word has been received here that
Mrs. Anna D Ames, the North Bend
woman who was sent to the Oregon
State hospital for the Insane at Sa
lem a few months ago, died there
November 5. The body was sent to
relatives at Red Bluff, Cal., where
burial will take place.
The case was a pitiful one and at
the time attracted considerable at
tention. A short time after Mrs.
Ames was declared Insane, her hus
band was also committed to the asy
lum. They had three small children
who were sent by the Coos county
court to relatives of the couple at
Red Bluff, Cal.
A few years ago, Mrs. Ames was
the victim of a sensational attack
by an employe of a steamboat while
coming here from California, and it
is believed that this was the cause
of her derangement.
ROGUE RIVER RESOURCES.
With a strip of beach two miles
long, that averages In width from
one-fourth to three-fourths miles
and from five to twenty-five feet
deep that will average In value ?5 In
gold ore to the wagon load, with
proper treatment; with a stream
that produces annually from fifty to
five-hundred thousand dollars in
food fish alone; with a .copper belt
at the head of naviga.lon that has
enough copper ore In sight to run a
thousand-ton smelter a thousand
years; a coal field In the same vici
nity that would steam the United
States navy a decade; waterpower
enough, if harnessed, to pull the
North Pole down to where It could
be reached; lumber and stone
enough to build a city as large as
New York and pulp timber enough
to glut the world's paper market,
are some of the natuial resources
that are lying right in our door
that some day, In no distant future,
will make Gold Beach the richest
and most thriving little town on the
Pacific Coast. Gold Beach Globe.

Eugene.
EUGENE, Ore., Nov. 12. In tho
Ch cult Cout here In tho case of W.
E. Boddy vs. the City of Eugene,
Judge Coke, sitting in place of Judge
L, T. Harris, decided that near-beer
could be sold in Eugene.
The basis for the decision was

for an ordinance prohibiting the
sale of non-intoxicating liquors.
Several months ago W. E. Boddy
was arrested charged with violating
the city ordinance which prohibits
the sale of near-beer. He pleaded
guilty and was sentenced to pay a
fine. Tho case was taken from tho
Justice Court to tho Circuit Court on
a writ of review.

sured the Lane County Asset Com
pany in its effort to secure the ser
vices of F. B. Kidder, John Balrd and
J. H. Thomas of Minneapolis, to sur
vey, locate and secure the right of
way for a railroad from Eugene to
Coos Bay.
For months the Lane County As
set Company, consisting of 12 busi
ness men, has been working on the
project of a railroad from Eugene to
the Pacific Ocean. The company em
ployed O. J. Johnson of Minneapolis,
to assist In this undertaking. It was
through Mr. Johnson, who made a
trip to Minneapolis and St. Paul,
that Mr. Kidder, treasurer of tho
Twin City Railway, was Induced to
come to the Coast and, In company
with Johnson, go over1 the proposed
route from Eugene to Coos Bay. He
stated to the company that the pro
ject was a much better one than
he expected to find, and he left for
Minneapolis 'enthusiastic over the
prospects.
Through correspondence, the As
set Company has arranged to secure
the services of Mr. Kidder, John
Balrd, now secretary and treasurer
of the Twin City Railway, and J. H.
Thomas, the chief engineer of the
road. Thomas is said to be one of
the best locating engineers In the
United States. Members of the com
pany stated at the meeting recently
that they hnd positive assurance that
as soon as the survey was made and
right df way was secured the road
would be built.
The work of raising the money
will be commenced at once.
