recently appointed a committee to
look into the matter of securing fire-'

very properly holds .that thero is.
plenty of room for the Roseburg,
Drain and Eugene lines, as each
would have a territory and traffic not
touched by any of the others. He
also holds that It will be easier to
get the second and third lines built
than the first, whichever It may be.
It Is expected that at least two of
these roads will be built simultan

of the death of Ira G. Rawn, president
of the Chicago, Indianapolis & Louis

Investigation of the Coroner is be-1
lieved to have strengthened the
theory of the police that It was ,
suicide. A bullet hole In Rawn's '
night garment was carefully exam-'
Ined and its appearance leads to tho '
suicide belief. The hole is sur-'

Former Newspaper Man of
Coos Bay Weds Miss Lulu
M. Olsen.
Gus W. Kramer, formerly of Marsh
field and well known In this city, was
married to Miss Lulu M. Olsen at
Portland July 18. Mr. Kramer was
formerly publisher of the Advertiser,
a newspaper In this city, and later
was business manager of tho Coos
Bay Times. About three years ago
he sold out his interests in the news
paper and since then has resided In
California and in the East. He was
here not long ago on a visit. The
Portland Journal of July 19 prints
the following regarding the wedding:
"A quiet home wedding was that
of Miss Lulu M. Olsen to Gus W.
Kramer, which took place last night
at the home of the bride's parents on
East Ninth street north. The cere
mony was performed In the presence
of the Immediate family by Rev. II.

WOULD BOYCOTT HEARST.
Western Federation of Miners Takes
Action at. Meeting.
'By Associated Press.)
DENVER, Colo., July 21. Tho
sensation of the day In the convention
of the Western Federation of Miners
was the placing on the clerk's desk a
resolution asking tho Western Feder
ation of Miners to boycott all papers
published by Wm. R. Hearst. This
Is a further step In tho antagonism
toward Hearst that already has been
attempted in California as a result of
the lockout at tho Homestead mine In
South Dakota owned by Hearst's
mother. The miners assert Hearst
could use his Influence to have tho
mines unionized. They assert also
that he owns stock In the mines. The
effect of tho resolution if It prevails,
as It Is expected to do, will be inter
es.lng, because of the fact that In de
claring an open boycott the federation
NOW
1
will be courting a law suit, boycotts
being against the law. This, it is In
timated, Is tho desire of the miners
who wish to "show up Hearst."
