A. H. Powers of the Smilh-Pow-
ers Logging Company, ia reported
to have closed a deal with the Coos
Bay Tide Land Company for 195
acres of tide land near the mouth
of Coos River.
It is said to be the purpose of the
Smith-Powers Logging Company to
use this land for boom and log stor
age purposes. It is reported that
they intend to build a logging road
from Coos River to Cunningham
creek on the Coquille aide, end
bring their logs over tbit road. It
ia claimed that a saving of $80,000
a year in freight can be made with
this new road, or erkongh in five
years to pay for the cost o f the
road.
Noble and Bradfield, who are op
erating logging camps, have closed
a deal for eighteen million feet of
timber near the Summit of IathmuB
Slough. The logs will go to the
North Bend Lumber Company's
mill.— Daily Times.

Smith-Powers Bnya Camp.
Attorney and Connoellor at Law.
The equipment of the Hoeck lum
ber camp at Beaver Hill has been
purchased by the Smith-Powers
Timber Company, says the Marsh
field Times. The camp was quite a
large one, and about 100 men were
employed there. It is located near
the Beaver Hill mine, and a branch
railroad extends to the oamp. There
ia about twelva miles of steel rails,
two locomotives, five donkey en
gines. and a lot of other machinery.
For the present the new owners
will clean up th* camp, and later on
will move the entire equipment
from where it ia now located.
It
will be used in a new camp just
north of the divide, which will have
a railroad to bring the logs to the
head of Isthmus Inlet, on which
stream they will be floated to the
Smith mill. The purchase makes
the seventh camp which the Smith-
Powers Co. is now operating in the
county. Two more enmps opening
on Isthmus Inlet are also to be es-
tablished'soon.

The H ebalp last week made brief
mention of the fatal accident which
befell Grant Ames near Bandon ou
the 14th inst. Frcm the Recorder
of the 17th we glean the following
additional particulars:
Mr. Ames and Jimmy Curran
were riding along the beach below
the lookout, each on a horse, when
suddenly Ames was knocked off bis
horse by a great breaker which
rushed in upon him, carrying the
animal off its feet and throwing him
into the surf. Here he was buffet
ed by the waves until Mr. Curran
could get him out. Just how it all
happened will never be fully ex
plained. Mr. Curran rushed to the
aid of the imperiled man as quickly
as he could, but before he could
drag him from the water Ames had
apparently ceased to breathe. Cur
ran worked with him fora while un
til be could get word to the look
out, when the life-saving station was
notified and the entire crew went at
once to his assistance, but owing to
the long distance it was perhaps 45
minutes before they reached the
spot.
Then efforts to resuscitate
the body seemed in vain for 3 hours
but finally he began to breathe, and
later was so far recovered that it
was thought safe to bring him
home. Here he apparently contin
ued to improve until 1 o’clock Tues
day, when suddenly and without
warning be passed away.
Grant Ames was born in Jackson
county, Oregon, April 15, 1867. He
leaves a widow and 6 children; was
highly thought of, and carried in
surance on bis life in the Modern
Woodmen.
Interment took place
in the Bandon Cemetery Thursday.
