COALMLGO
TO SIUSLAW
RIVERTON MINES TO DELIVER
2000 TONS OP COAL TO
UP COAST PORT
J. K. Smith of the Rivcrton coal
mines enme 1n Wednesday with the
ateam tug boat Robarts and the
schooner Coquelle to load at Kivor

The tug-boat Robarts is to bo con
verted from a wood to a coal burner,
she is in chariro of Captain Levi Sny-
drwho for years was on Coquille

known in Bandon.,
Mr. Smith also stated that tho re
port given out by a Coos Bay news
paper to tho effect that Porter Bros
frolifht bariro Fredorick was wreck
ed at Siuslaw while in tow of the
Robarts is untrue. The Frederick

Rrnthors' own tow-boat Roscoc.
Tho Frederick is safely anchored
Imrd and fast upon tho jagged rockE
of tho jetty which pierces tho bottom
of tho vessel and tho tides flow and
ebb through the broken timbers.
Johnson Porter, head of the Por
ter Brothers' construction company
is personally in charge of salvinp
the cargo, which probably will all be
saved.
The wrecked barge had a dcckload
of steam shovels, locomotives and
dump cars.which aro now being light-.
ered upon barges 'and tbwed"un" the
Siuslaw river to safety.
The wrecked Frederick lies upon
tho rocks, well out toward the end ol
tho north jetty. Her hold is filled
with railroad iron.
The weathor is clear now at Sius
law, or was when Mr. Smith left and
Hm aim is ns nuiet as a mill pond, so
that it is probable that all tho cargo
will bo saved.
Under tho efllcicnt direction oi
Johnson Portor, a fourty ton steam
shovel was moved from tho deck oi
tho Frederick to safety aboard a
wrecking lighter in fourty-ilvo min
utes. Mr. Smith saiil tho tug-boat Rob
arts made tho trip from bar to bar.
bucking a heavy ocean current, with
the schooner Coquelle in tow, in en
and one half hours.
Tho schooner Conuello will make
regular trips all summer out of the
Coqulllo river with coal. Tho tug
boat Kllhyam will tow the schoonei
to sea where tho tug-boat Gleaner
will pick her up and tow her to the
Siuslaw bar whore the Robarts will
tuko tho 250 ton cargo into tho river
Tho Tidewater Mill Company al
Florenco is now cutting capacity rum
of 150,000 foot per day, to load it't
own sailing vessels during tho sum
mor. Tho schooner Sunsalito left
port lortded with a half a million feet
of lumber Monday, and tho mill com
pany's schoonor, Hugh Hognn is now

$250,000 FOR
THE COQUILLE
SENATOR CHAMBERLAIN FILES
AMENDMENT TO RIVER AND
HARBORS BILL
According to an article in the Port
land Telegram, Senator George E.
Chamberlain of Oregon Chairman
of tho Rivers and Harbors Commitee
in the Senate has offered an amend
ment to the bill appropriating $250,-
000 to tho Coquille river providing an
equal amount is raised by the Port
of Bandon, or the people of the Co
quill river. This would give us $500-
000 as a' working fund for the river
and harbor, which would be an ade
quate amount to make this by far the
finest harbor on the Oregon coast,
and to put it in the front rank as a
shipping center, where ' it rightfully
belongs.
Tho matter was taken up by tho
Port Commissioners at their regular
meeting Wednesday and plans are be
ing formulated whereby tho condi
tions will be met.

reputation. The white paint oh the
front of the building Is imported und
the very best quality that money can

prido in his work as the finished pro
duct both, on tho exterior nndjnter

Tho window 'and door casings aro
of cement and painted snow white
while the doors and window frames,
which by-thc-way is the only wood
about the building, are stained beau
tiful muhoguny and aro worked down
until they aro really ns smooth as ma
