An Umbrella Mystery
The paragraph about the lost um
brella is hoary with age, but here
is a glimpse of the other side of the
shield. One day last week the edi
tor of this paper went to the post
office for his mail, got it and re
turned straight to the office, calling
nowhere either going or coming.
Then he unhooked the umbrella
from his left elbow to stand it in its
usual place in the corner by the
door, when he was much surprised
to find the corner already occupied
by his own property. A second look
at the umbershoot in his hand
showed that it was an entire stran
ger that he never saw before in his
life. Where he acquired it is still
an unsolved mystery. We would
be glad to have the owner, if there
be one. call and get it—but we
loaned it to IJ. A Folsom during
one of Sunday’s showers, and
haven’t seen it since.

Bar Dredge Arrives
After five years ot waiting from
the time the appropriation for her
construction was made, the bar
drtdge Col. P. S. Michie arrived at
Coos Bay last Wednesday and was
received with much noisy welcome
by the optomistic citizens of that
part of the county, some o f whom
hope that her work may have some
effect in deepening the channel on
their bar. On Saturday she went
down and sucked up a load of sand
which she took to sea and dumped,
but it is not intended to work regu
larly on the bar during bad weathar.

Riverton High School boys took
the Norway Athletic club down to
defeat on their own floor by a score
of 18 to 7, in a fast roogh game.
This makes three consecutive wins
for the Riverton High boys, as they
had won from Bandon, 24 to 10, at
Bandon, and had beaten Norway 14
to 19 on the home floor. The River
ton High was unfortunate in not
being included in the league, but
will eventually secure some open
dates. The boys are young to play
athletic clubs, but they are willing
to play any team anywhere They
look forward to their game with the
Fireman at Coquille Friday evening
as another easy victory.
The Riverton boys will play tbe
High School team at Marahfieid on

“ Another Landmark Gone”
Tbe Marshfield dailies contain ac
counts of the blowing up of one of
the old wrecks on tbs mudflats op
posite that town, and an astonish
ing variety of information as to the
identity of the wreck was gleaned
from the “ old residents.” The bones
of two steamers rested on the flats,
though one collection had nearly
disappeared beneath the surface.
One wr.ck was that of the stern-
wheel bay steamer Messenger, which
should be remembered by all the
old settlers. She used to ply be
tween Empire City, then the county
seat, and Utter City, then a flourish
ing village at tbe head of steamboat
navigation on
Isthmus slough,
where she made connections with
the Isthmus Transit railroad and
handled the traffic, from this side
She was one of the first good pas
senger boats on the Bay, being pre
ceded by the Coos, a small side
wheeler. One night she took fire
while lying at the Dean & Co. lock
and was cut loose, drifting across
the channel to the mudflats, where
shg burned to the water's edge. She
left her remains about opposite the
present Beaver Hill coal bunker.
The other wreck was that ol the
tug Escort, which was built at
Marshfield by John Howlett and
which towed vessels on the bay and
over the bar for many years under
command of Captain James Magee,
probably the best bar-tug man on
the coast. J. F Dunham, after clos
ing his sawmill near Coaledo, was
engineer on the Escort in the early
eighties. The old Escort was built
on wonderfully graceful lines and
Bhe was one of tbe prettiest craft
that ever navigated the water. To
see her coming up the bay under
full speed was an artistic treat. She
also “ handled well,” and the writer
has many times seen Captain Magee
lay her alongside and parallel with
the dock, so close that the deck-
h >nd could step ashore, but not
touching tbe wharf until the line
was out. Through niggardliness of
the owners, her boilers came to be
in a chronic state of weakness and
finally they blew lip one day oppo
site the Marshfield waterfront, and
she was deposited on the flats op
posite town, quite a distance north
of the Messenger wreck. Later the
bull was burned to the water’ s edgo
Now the timbers have fo be re
moved, as the channel is to be
widened by dredging.
