The need for quick and cheap
communication up and down the
Oregon coast was never better dem
onstrated than at present. With a
large output of wool in Curry coun
ty, and the 'shipping the past season
of from forty to fity tons of wool,
there is a scarcity of wool at the
Bandon woolen mills, and Baudon
is now importing wool from San
Francisco by schooner, to enable
the mill to run. Owing to the lack
of communication along the coast,
Southwestern Oregon cannot sup
ply, the wool market of Bandon,
which Is but a few hii.es distant.
Thus'turry county ships its wool
product to San Francisco, and Ban-
dou then imports it from San Fran
cisco, instead of from Oregon ports
direct.

youngest fire fiend in the state cjittie
near destroying the Occidental Ho
tel last Friday afternoon about
three o'clock. Dense volumes of
smoke were seen issuing from three
rooms on the second floor '.'.is
building and an alarm was turned
in, to which the department re
sponded promply. The flames
were quickly! extinguished, not
however until the furniture and
bedding in the three rooms had been
ruined. It, seems thct Charley
Smith, the three-year-old grand-ton
of Mr. Schmidt the. proprietor of
the hotel, had lighted a . candle and
applied the blaze to the bedding in
each room, "just for fun." The
loss was adjusted Monday. The
furniture upon which a damage of
$134 had been sustained, was in
sured in the Aetna, Royal and
Westchester insurance companies.
The building was covered by poli
cies in the L. L. & G. and Phoenix,

disturbed them in their hauuts. In
