A dispatch from New York, under date of February 14th says; Raging blizzards drifting snow, rain and sleet are scourging Eastern and Southwestern states today. Pittsburgers are floundering through snow 17 inches deep to reach their mills and offices, while railroad and trolley lines in that section of Penn sylvania are badly blocked. From all sections of western Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio comes re ports of suspended traffic and snow-blockaded highways. The snow in that section is still falling. Four inches of snow fell in I hil— adelphia during the night, Then it turned to rain, with resulting con- ditions that can be imagined, Four inches of snow also fell in New York c:ty, and “Big Bill’’ Edwards, the former Princeton guard, now street commissioner of the Metrop ol's, was getting ready his shovel and dump wagon brigade for another assault on the snow blockade when the storm ceased. Two fishing vessels were victims of the storm's fury, both being blown ashore at Sandy Hook, and only desperate work by the iife saveis prevented the loss of the crews of both little vessels, The sterm in Northwestern New York is the severest since 1881. “Sunny Tennessee” belies its name. There is 10 inches of snow in the vicinity of Nashville, and it is still falling. The snowfoll in middle and western Tennessee varies in depth from four to ten inches.

I Lining Up Push the Proposition into last Thursday by Sheriff Tyler of Curiy county and Deputy Sheriff Blacker by of this city, as a suspect of the murder of Albert Ryar., who was found stabbed in the heart and his throat cut, about six miles north of the Chetco river last week. It is supposed that Ryan and Gollihar left a logging camp in Del Norte county, California together and that Ryan had money and Gol lihar did not, thus the motive of the murder was supposed to have beer, robbery Gollihar, however protests his innocence and says he can prove that he was absolutely alone when he left the logging camp, and can prove by the ferryman on the Chetco that he was alone when he crossed the river. He was taken to Co quille Friday, after having been in the Bandon city jail over night, and questioned bv Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Liljeqvist, and was then taken down to Gold Beach, Sheriff Tyler leaving here Sunday morn ing with him. All the evidence against Gollihar is circumstantial and it remains to be seen whether there is sufficient of that to convict him, although Sheriff Tyler rather thinks he has the right man. Is All the Money That Has Been Recommended To Date Along I The committees appointed at the meeting held in Coquille a couple of weeks ago for the purpose of getting the preliminary work of f the port commission into peration are get- ting their work outlined and will call on the people in the near future, if they have not already called on them. You m iy not be asked to contribute any cash toward the proposition, but you will be asked to give it your moral support anil and you may be asked to sign a petition to get it before the people at an election, and you will surely be asked to vote for it when the time for election comes, It is the one thing to do now to help our- selves. I f we establish a port com- mission, we can go to the govern ment and say; “Here we are doing something to help ourselves and now we want you to do something for us. This is what the Siuslau and Coos Cay have done and the result is that Siusl.iw gets $426,000, and Coos Bay $400,000 while th« Coquille river gets $27,800 with th« promise by Congressman Hawley that be would irj t get more in the senate river and harbor bill and try to have an annual appropriation for use hereafter Of course all these things help, but we should have $400.000 this year the same as the other ports and we might have had it if we had gotten in our work on a port commission in time. The t hing to do is to get that commission in working order for the next appropriation and we will have one of the best harbors here on the Pacific coast. As was said in the beginning of this article, the committees are at work, and it is now up to the peo ple to do their part. Talk for it, boost for it, and everything will come out all right. First Snow of Season In confirmation of the r«*|»ort that the Coquille River was to get $27,- 3oo as was rumored about town Friday, Col. R. 11, Rosa received the following message on Saturday» from Congressman Hawley. It read: Washington, D. C’., Feb u, 1910—Hon R. H. Rosa, Bandon. Ore —Have secured appropriation of $28.850 for improving lower Co quille River, all that was recom mended to date. Last survey not ready in time but will try to have additional appropriation imeried in Senate River and I Harbor ap- propriation to be m. 1 ule annually On hereafter.—W. C. Hawley. Sunday a second message was re- ceived which read as follows: Washington., D. C. Feb. 12, 1910, Hon. R. H. Rosa, Bandon, Ore.— These figures sent to you yesterday were the amount recommended by the River and Harbrn Committee, in their bill which cotnes up Monday. Believe amounts will pass as recom mended—W. C. Hawley. Bandon is Booming The Coos Bay Times of last Sat urday has the following interviews from two of Bandon’s leading citi zens: “The outlook is for an unusually good year at Bindon.” remarked Geo. P. Laird, one of the boosters of the busy city-by-:he sea. who is in Marshfield today on business. “The Cody mill is being rushed to completion and the installation of machinery will start soon, There has been considerable building going on there this winter and will continue this spring. The prospects for building the Bandon and Port Orford road are adding to the air of optimism that everybody Is exhibit ing.” “We have disposed of the Bandon and Port Orford road, but we were assured that it will be rushed through to completion,” remarked C. R. Wade of Bandon, one of the men largely instrumental in bringing the project to a successful culmination. “As announced by’Steve Hender son, a few weeks ago, we turned it over to a new company that is amply able to build and operate the line. Steve Henderson is now in Los Angeles but I expect him back here in a short time.” Band onians awoke Monday morning to see about an inch of the “beautiful white” spread over Notice the ground, but immediately after daylight it turned to rain again and For a limited time the thorough for a time sidewalks and streets were exceedingly slushy.
