COQUILLE, COOS COUNTY, O Court license» Slot Marines Causes State of Oregon More Than 11,000,000 Loos A fire, starting in the basement of the State Capitol building at Salem, at 6.30 last evening, totally destroyed the structure. Notwithstanding that all fire departments in Marion county were rushed to the capital, and even several from Portland, the flames had secured so great headway that they could not be stopped. The first construction of the build ing was in 1873, sixty-two years ago. It was of lumber, although brick and concrete additions have been made to it since. It furnished an ideal haz ard for fire, its wooden stairways, its timber joists, and interior walls all being of lumber. The dome of the building crashed down about eight o’clock last night, and the gutting of the capital was complete. Press reports state that the only records, of all those housed in the structure, were some private papers of Gov. Martin. It to also reported from Salem that a special session of the legislature is to be called within 48 hours to au thorize the construction of a new capitol. Just how complete a demoraliza tion of the state’s business will follow can hardly be imagined. Whether steel vaults protected any of the records of the departments from the fire’s ravages is not known here but it to probable from what information has coma through that nothing was The licensing of machines, com monly known as slot machine», was authorized by the last sesisdn of the Legislature.

The license fee was set at $80 s year for each automatic pay-out ma chine. and $30 for manual pay-out devices. E. M. Bush, who was represented by J. W. Mclnturff at Marshfield, took out licenses in the county dork’s office this week for the entire 20 which are allowed in Coos county, outside the incorporated cities. LOGGING ON -BEAR CREEK Geo. W.
