• a • I • Counterfeit Coins Passed. Demand For Technical Men.' “ and the results oiex perience. Counterfeit money is making its appearance on Coos Bay and there is much excitement among the dif ferent firms that found themselves in possession of the spurious coins. The North Bend News Company of North Bend was the first iirm known to have been victimized. The first intimation received in Marshfield was in the shape of a warning to Robert Marsden, pro prietor of the billiard parlor on Front street. After being informed, Mr. Marsden was on the lookout for the coins ami on Saturday night one answering the description was hand ed in. The gentleman passing the coin was entirely innocent that lie was in possession of a counterfeit coin and was nonplussed on being informed oi its real character. The North Bend New-. Company of North Bend hi. discovered five of the coins 111 its till. l'he money is in every case five dollar gold pieces dated 1903 ami said to be an ex- cellent imitation. Coquille Notes. l'roni the Sentinel. And still another large sawmill for the Coquille river is assured. 'Die present flurry in the lumber market has not disturbed the confi dence of lumber manufacturers in the future of Coos County timber. F. A. Spencer, H. E. and G. \V. Shelley are incorporating for $50,- ojo for the purpose of building a mill on the new Prosper tow nsite which was laid out recently near the present Prosper Mill Co.’s plant. The name assumed is the Spen cer- Shelley Lumber company and their articles of incorporation will permit them to engage in sawmill ing, logging and owning and oper ating their own line of lumber carrying vessels. The stock will be fully paid up as soon as the organ ization is complete, and a site was reserved for mill and booin purposes when the town was platted. Mr. G. W. Shelley, the well known traveling man, is the man- ager of the business at this end of the line. He left last Saturday on his way to Washington to confer with the other members of the com pany. Mr. Spencer is a practical saw mill man as well as others of the new company; so the undertaking will not be an experiment, but will be conducted by men who understand their business in all its phases. In view of the general impression that the professions are greatly over crowded, it is surprising to learn that some of the leading railroads of flic country are finding much difficulty in securing properly qual ilied young men to till subordinate ( ositions on the engineering staff. < »11c road in particular has recently gone so far as to make the fact known in thepublic press, and to invite communications from young men who have passed through tech nical schools, and possess the necess- ry qualification« to enable them to < ommence work as rodmen and haitiinen, or do the simpler instru- mental work connected with the construction and maintenance of the railroad, It was further stated laat the remuneration would In sufficient to enable these men to in maintain themselves at once decency and comfort, and that for those who showed aptitude and ap plication there was a reasonabG ex pectation of early promotion. 1 ur- ¡her evidence of the excellent open ag afforded by the present indus trial activity is found in the fact that, in one of the technical colleges of the ■ountry, every member of the grad nation class of 1906 had secured an ippointment some month’ before the close of the college year. The demand for technically-qualified men in railroad work has unquestionably been stimulated by the recognition of the fact that the increase in the capacity and weight of the motive power and rollingstock, and the de mand for more intelligent supervis ion due to the introduction of electric tradition on steam roads, is render ing it desirable that not only the en gineering department, but also those which haveto do with the main tenance and operation <[ the road should be rim by men with sufficient technical knowledge, and sufficient training in natural science, to enable them to exercise a more intelligent oversight of their department than is possible in the case of men whose theoretical know ledge is .bounded by the limits of a common school education. — Scientific American.
