The Japanese, kvho have been buy

past are now negotiating for the pur
chase of coal at Coos Bay. They think
they can get it here cheaper than any
where else on the west coast of this
continent, but are uncertain about the
depth of water on the bar there being
sufficient to float their ship« when coal
laden. The schooner, William Taylor,
drawing 21tt feet of water, however,
went out safely Tuesday loaded with
