HOBO TO pass
ON LOCAL WORK
Chief Engineer of S. P. Plan
ning Trip Here to Deter
mine Questions. '
Amo Mereen, general superintend
ent of the C. A. Smith mill, returned
on the Adeline Smith from San Fran
cisco, whoro ho has been spending a
few weeks. He said that Just as ho
left, he was Informed that Chief En
gineer Hood of the Southern Pacific
hail rosorved passage on the Nanu
Smith to come to Coos Hay this week.
Tho clork rosorvlng passago for Mr.
Hood asked that tho reservation be
held until yostorday as Mr. Hood
would not know until then whether
ho would ho able to couto this week
or not.
Mr. Hood's trip to tho Ihiy is un
derstood to be on sovoral matters In
connection with tho company's lhio
In hero, ouo being tho bridge across
tho Hny, tho plans for which havu
not boon finally approved. Owing to
the big purchase of mudflnt across
tho Hay. Involving about $100,000.
and which tho Southern Pacific wiih
figuring on as possible dock and
warehouse and yard room, Mr. Hood
wanted to personally look Into tho
matter It Is said.
Auolhor matter which is said to ho
bringing him hero Is the Tormlunl
situation In Mnrshflold. Vice-president
Calvin is said to have protested
against paying about $:mhi,ooi) for
right of way through tho C. A. Smith
retail yards and some other expenses
In connection with tho proposed tak
' lug over of the steam franchises of
tho C. A. Smith company and wanted
Mr. Hood to look Into tho matter per
sonally. Still a third matter bringing him
hero Is In connection with Engineer
Wolfram's work here. Mr. Wolfram
has boen very reticent about his work
nml oven other representatives of the
Southern! Pacific havo not been able
to loarn exactly what ho Is surveying
around the Hay for. it is generally
believed that he Ik working on a
route to construct a line to Haudoii
and possibly hook up on the pronosod
coast lino. Whether this connec
tion will bo via the South Inlet route,
via Heaver Hill junction or otherwise
remains for Mr. Hood to say. it la
claimed.
Mr. Hood Is said to he a good dnn
blo for Hugh Mcl.aln, or lco versa.
So If you seo a man coining down the
Btreet that looks llko Hugh Mcl.aln.

Council Consider Plan of En
larging and Reorganizing
Both Departments.
Chairman Ferguson, of the street
committee of the City Council, last
evening reported In favor of re
organizing the Marshtleld police de
pal tiuent and fire department and
enlarging both somewhnt. His re
port was made In compliance with
the Instructions for the street com
mittee to ascertain whether it would
bo necessary for the city to retain
special officers put on since me re
recent 1. W. stir.
Mr. Ferguson's plan was to en
gage L. W. Travor. who has been
acting as special engineer of the fire
department, as the paid chief of the
fire department, making two paid
i.itn, the other being Harold Stuts
man. Then he would have police
oower conferred on both Mr. Stuts
iuan and Mr, Trnver and have them
do the city hall police duty and at
tend to the station. nlloo'iig the
other officers to keep out on tie
beats doing patrol service nil the
Hme. He said that they hIjo favor
ed retaining Levi Smith ami Vnltcr
Uuhnrdson, tho special off-en. as
idiMilnr men. limiting two day police
and two night police In addlUm to
mtrchnnt pntrolmnn uoauc.
a question was raised about en
gaging Mr. Travcrs as the paid thief
of the department, an ordinance now
providing that the chief of the flro
department be elected by the mem
bers. It was suggested that Mr.
Ti avers bo engaged as engineer. Mr.
Ferguson said that ho would riuhcr
reo lilm Pt In n chief and tlcti
lc could look nfter flro protection
matters, such as prohibiting rubbish
being dumped In dangeroiiH plates,
etc Ho said that now Harold Sluts
man was working seven days a week
and -I hours a day, which was too
much for any man.
In the discussion. Councilman Cop
ule said that It would bo n good
thing to come "How n a little harder
with the law enforcement, lie said
Mint every man who Is placed iintK-r
arrest should bo arraigned before
the Hecorder the next day Instead of
being taken to Jail and then roloiuod
ihe next morning without being fined
or punished. Furthermore he
thought that prisoners who are un
able to pay their fines should bo
required to work them out.
Mayor Straw said that ho thought
Hilt, was right. He said, jjthlntly.
ll..'.l maybe some of tho men wno
were put In Jail might bo ro'l. tl
of tho money they had on thoi.i.
ItuNe Curler's Pay.
Councilman Winkler In this p-iii-nectlon
said that he wished tr.o Coun
cil to take Into consideration the
riivlce of Marshal Carlor .i:i,l rce
oj.nlzo his good work by an Increase
In nay. lie snld that C.iilu was
working long and hard and doing
really about three men h wjri: au.i
l,o thought that ho wiih entitled to
more than $100 por month. He
si.ld Carter was getting $100 h month
before tho high cost or living liati
rone still higher and that ho thought
be should bo raised.
Mayor Straw agreed with this, say
ing that ho thought this was tho
most sensible suggestion that Mr.
Y Inkier had ninde.
It was finally referred to the
htioet committee to consider as well
rs tho plan of reorganizing the pollco
i, ml fire departments, tho under
standing being that all tho present
forces would bo retained until after
the Fourth of July. Council Fer
guson said that with th coming of
tin- railroad, the city needed bolter
polho and flro protection,
I "ill' WlU'CllOIIM'.
The Council Inst evening finally
granted Mr. Ferguson's ruiiuoat for
the privilege of bulldlnv: i. warehouse
at Fouri'.i and Curtis, to stole the
city's equipment and supplies In. Ho
only wanted Sl-iO or SL'uij to oreei
tl.e building. tiu plan noin;; to uuiizo
coiisldeinble old iticet lumber In It.
However. Comic llmr.n Copplo and
f'o others thought that tho city
should put up a moro substantial
building and adopted a resolution
that not more than $100 was to be
expended for the building.
All of tho Council and. Mayor
Straw wore present last evening for
the first time In several weeks. Coun
cilman Allen had to leavo early. The
Council adjourned to meet a week
from last night.
