COQUILLE, MYRTLE POINT IH DARKNESS Eire last Friday night totally de stroyed th< Johnson I umber«Co.’s mill near Coquille, burned the elec trie light plant furnishing Coquille and Myrtle Point with electricity, consumed four residences and five railroad cars loaded with lumber and burned down about 1,400 feet <f the trestle work of the railroad, thus cutting off rail comrt unication with Myrtle Point. Both that city and Coquille are without lights or an) immediate prospects ol having any unless a wire cm be strung from Marshfield. I he total loss is about $6 ,000. The loss to the Johnson Company is about $40,000 without insurance. The loss to Frank Morse, who owned the electric light plant, is about $10,000, and the loss to tile Coos Bay, Roseburg and Eastern Rail road is about $10,000. I he cars which were burned were worth $1,- 800 or $2,000, and it will probably cost $8,000 to rebuild the railroad trestle. Ihe fifty men employed al the null are thrown out of work by the ¡ire, and for both the company and city of Coquille the fire is p.irticu- i.nly unfortunate, "ollowing so close y upon the explosion of the Coquille Mui and Mercantile Company plant last week. I he J ihnson Lumber Company h«s lieen in operati* 11 for twelve vtars and is the most important in dustrv of Coquille. I lie burning of the mill is a hard bio« to Coquille as well as to li t company, it was the largest imius trial institution ol the place, .oiil had a payroll of $15,000 a month. 1 he mill hail always been run continuous Iv , and the money paid out lor labor was an important feature in the busi ness of the city.- Die tire is particularly uni.ntimate coming so close*}' as it does alter the blowing up of the Coquille Mill and Mercantile Co's plant last week. E. E. Johnson, secretary of the juhtvon Lumber Company, recently bought an interest in the Coquille Mil! ami Mercantile Company, and hail been made vice-president and manager ol that concern. With both of the mills destroyed within two weeks, the loss was heavy.

Kyle of Florence ahd I. B. Cushman of Acme receiver! «hen in Portland. The purpose of their trip was principally to take the matter up with the government engineer. Major Mclndoe, and see that the work would be started as soon as possible. Major Mclndoe assured them that the work would be started at once. / The work on the south jetty has already .been started with funds raised by the Port of Siuslaw, and about 1500 feet of the long pier has been completed. It is very solidlv built, being constructed ol locks weighing up to ten tons each. This is being done with the money raised by bonding the Port of Siuslaw. The government has appropriated $250,000, and $50,000 of ibis is available foi immediate use. The contract, however, for the who!»- amount will lie let. The provisions of the government appropriation art that the port or county must raisi an equal amount, so it will l>e nec essarv for the Siuslaw to raise $1 25. 000 more. Ibis. Mr. Kyle assure--, can teadilv be done. This work is what the l.ane conn coast has been wanting for tweuti wars, and it will mean a great thing foi the county when it is completed The channel will then be deep enough for any ordinary ocean ship to enter, and the Siuslaw will In come a center ol Pacific commerce It is expected to take three years t< complete the work. The govern ment started this fifteen yens ag and appropriated $100,000 but this was insufficient and the work was slopped. The amount of jetty that has already been built is said to have deepened the channel several feet llorence, Mr. Kyle savs, present-« many signs of activity.

He was conscious almost to the last and the end was painless. Mr. Sc >tt began failing nearly three months ago from an attack of sciatica. Early in June he went to the Hot Lakes in Eastern Oregon, but the baths debilitated him At last, convinced that only surgery could relieve him, he started for Bal liinore from Portland a week ago Thursday. The operation was pronounced to t>e entirely successful and the sur geons and physicians were confident of his recovery, until suddenly an unexpected weakness of the heart ensued, which the physicians were pow erless to cope with.
