Longshoremen Force Alliance
Warehouse Doors and

POLICEMAN AT NORTH
BEND IS OVERWHELMED
Breakwater, Alliance and
Manager Bergman of Gar
diner In Mixup.
What threatened o develop Into
a small Blzod riot nt North Bond Sat
urday afternoon passed over for tho
time being a a a result of u force of
longshoremen overwhelming Marshal
llnrnea who wub trying to prevent
the taking of snlmou from the Alli
ance warehouse for shipment on tho
Drenkwntor. Tho door of tho ware
house was forced after Agent Painter
of tho Alliance had locked It and tho
ttnlmon taken aboard tho Break
water. Tho clash resulted from rivalry be
tween tho two steamship lines for
business nnd of courso each side has
a different version of It. Tho mat
ter will probably be threshed out In
tho courts.
It BooniB that Agent C. F. McGeor
go of the Alllanco arranged to han
dle tho salmon pack of tho Coopera
tive Cannery at Gardiner. Ilelng un
able to got any bont In or out, Man
ager Carl Bcrgmnn of the Coopera
tive contracted with him for tho ship
ment from Gnrdlnor to Astoria. Mr.
McGeorgo chartered tiro schooner
Wllhclmlnn to carry tho salmon from
Gardiner to Coos Bny and from hero
It was to bo taken to Astoria on tho
Alllanco.
Owing to tho rough weather, tho
shipment had been delayed and be
sides this, the recent accident to the
Alllanco delayed It still more Part
of tho shipment was brought down
by tho Wllhclmlnn last wcok, nnd
placed In tho Alllanco warehouso at
North Bond to await tho arrival of
tho Alllanco today for reshlpment.
Meanwhile Managor Bergman was
getting anxious to got tho salmon to
Astoria bo ho arranged for tho
Breakwater to toko It out.
The Breakwater and Alliance
agents clashed about It, Agent Mc
Georgo refusing to turn It over to
the Breakwater on tho ground that
he had handled It part wny, that it
was routed over his line nnd that
Mr. Bergman had no right to chango
the routing except on notice from
W. E. Tallant of Astoria, tho consi
gnee. Supt. Miller of tho Breakwater
says ho was not going to attempt to
tako tho salmon until Saturday noon
when Mr. Bergman arrived from Gar
diner nnd Insisted that It go on tho
Breakwater.
Agent Painter nt North Bend -
fused to turn it over nnd locked tho
warehouso doors to provont tho long
shoromen taking It. Acting, It Is
clnlmed, on Mr. Bergmnn's orders,
tho longshoremen forced tho lock on
tho door and proceeded to carry tho
salmon aboard tho Breakwater.
Then Agent Painter called Marshal
Barnes and tho oJllcer ordered them
to desist but they would not heed
him nnd nil tho salmon there was
put aboard tho Breakwater.
Agent McGeorgo hns taken tho
matter up with C. P. Doe who Is
operating tho Alllanco nnd the mat
ter will be taken up In tho courts.
Mr. Doo has further notified Agent
McGeorgo to secure sufficient men to
overwhelm nny possible further at
tempts of the kind and tho matter
may develop Into n serious freight
war.

For Doing It.
Llbby mine nftor fifty-eight con

closed down by tho Oregon ConI and
Navigation compnny. This Is tho
first time tho inlno hnB been comple
tely closed down for any extensive
tlmo since It was first opened up by
tho late Patrick Flanngan.
Pnt Hennessey, superintendent of
tho mine, stated today that tho cloeo

tho now employers' liability law in
Oregon which works too grent a
hardship on tho employors. Somo
other causes entered Into It, but Mr.
Hennessey did not want to discuss
tho matter further for publication.
Tho mine is not worked out, ho

Goodall & Perkins nro going out
of tho coal business entirely.
Tho live stock, cars and tools of
tho mine will bo sold off nnd the

Just what effect tho closing of
the mine will havo on tho steamship

It Is indirectly stated, though, that

Hugh McLain Has Rough Ex

Roseburg.
Hugh McLain returned Saturday
evening from Salem whore ho was
In attendance nt tho Inauguration
of Governor West as tho govornor's
special guest.
Mr. McLain had an experience on
ills trip from Rosoburg to Coos Bay
by way of Sumner on tho old Coos
Bny wagon road that makes him
more than over an enthusiastic ad
vocato of good roads. Ho left Rose
burg at 1:30 Monday afternoon of
last weok and spont tho entiro six
days reaching this city ovor somo ot
tho worst roads ho thinks theronro
In tho country. Tho rond Is good
nnd bad In spots and It Is theso
spots that dot tho highway with do
lay and danger. Tho wholo road Is
a horrlblo example of lack of systom
In tho mnnner of Its management.
Mr. McLain stntes that closo observa
tion of tho route convinces him that
tho road could bo mado pnssablo In
Coos county by an expenditure of
$-10,000 and probnbly $20,000 In
Douglas county. Mr. McLnln re
gards It as the best Investment both
counties could mnke to forward their
Interests,
Mr. McLain says In tho condition
of tho road in somo sections that tho
width of tho vehlclo tires has no ef
fect for wheels with tires as brond
as tho moral law would not bo of
any value. What Is needed Is a
plank road and systomatlc effort In
that direction will bo tho only solu
