Tho lumber industry, from the Oregon line to Sanger, reports an investment of $35,000,000 to $10,000,000, employ ing 17,0000 men. It is threatened by the proposed reductions in freight rates, favoring Northern competitors. Oregon and Washington lumber men control 75 per cent of tho California business. All tho exposition build ings are built of Oregon and Wash ington lumber, including tho Cali fornia stato building. These statements were made by G. Wendling, president of the Weed Lumber Compnny. Ho was on the witness stand before Railroad Com missioner H. D. Loveland in tho hearing on tho petition of tho Ore go nnnd Washington mill men for a freight rato reduction from San Francisco to tho interior. Tho Cal ifornia mill men opposed tho reduc tions. Wendling said tho northern shippers can land an ordinary grade of lumber hero at a production cost of $7 per thousand feet and $3 for freight, against $11 production cost for California lumber men.

BUILDING RESTRICTION ORDINANCE IS PASSED A building restriction ordinance was passed by tho city council Wednesday night covering the busi ness section on First and Second Streets east ef Chicago Avenue. This ordinance governs the class of buildings to be erected and will pre vent tho building of "shacks," al though it will permit of frame build ings in the district. However, these frame buildings must be well con structed, plastered and must have fire-proof roofs. It Is understood generally that brick or concrete buildings in that section of at this time would be impracticable as the cost would be out of proportion to the amount of rent an owner could get out of it. But the very best of frame buildings can bo constructed and tho danger from firo will be very slight. ADVENTURES OF KATIILYN NO. 9, AT THE GRAND. The Adyentuers of Kathlyn, No.9, entitled "The Spellbound Multitude." Kathlyn's sister, Winnie, has been cowed and terrorized; is forcibly crowned Queen of Allaha, to serve tho sinster purpose of the scheming Umballah. By forced marches, Kath lyn, her father and party, reach the city and secure admission to the Cor onation ceremony, disguised as ani mal trainers; but they are powerless to do anything other than observe and plan such action for the immed iate future as fertility can suggest. After the ceremonies are over the lit tle party return to Col. Hare's head quarters and immediately start plans in train for the rescue of Winnie Kathlyn plans to gain entrance to the royal harem, where Winnie is known to be held a prisoner. This she ex pects to do by having Winnie feign eicknes and insistng on Bending for a woman physcian. Kathlyn secures the dress of practitioner, is admitted to tho harem and eventually starts to smuggle her sister out and escape through the garden. This seems practical until the suspicious Umbal lah finds that the physician Is none other than Kathlyn herself. He or ders her to bo immediately soiled and confined as a prisoner in another portion of tho harem and held until the conclusion of the festival of the Juggernaut. The big feature of this festival Is an enormous car containing the effigy of the dreadful Idol, thut Is rolled along Its wuy crushing devotees In Its path us willing hurnun sacrifices. This glguntic cur Is trundled along mi Is way (o the Hucrtd liver but night romliig on, Hie High I'rlost and Ills lolling kmitMum am forced to h'uvy Hiu ig fiibilo ut (ha top of tho Mil, IJjiibullali Mrps ut (till and ton tym u fUntJUli j'lbii tot driving poor Kathlyne into the earth and ev erlastingly ending her power to thwart him. He secretly has the he roine, taken out of her harem prison and then has her staked down in the path of the car. Happily the keen- eared Pundita has overheard the plot and she at once informs Col. Hare and Bruce. They rush to the rescue cautiously but without delay. The staking party have no soone rcomplet ed the work, and rushed away in the darkness to start the car on its hor rible journey, than Bruce and Col. Hare arrive and pull out the shakes just as the great car comes crashing down the incline, crushing everything in its path. Umballah, on investiga tion, finds that his plan failed, and fearing the rifles of Col. Hare's par ty, slinks back to the palace purple with rage. His most careful laid plots appear to go awry, and with death in his clasp, he seems destined to be continuously routed of revenge. However, he has Winnie, and that is currently savage satisfaction to him. Bruce and Col. Hare have been busy and Kathlyn's ready wit in the inter im has not been idle, devising another way for the rescue of the young A mericon from a fate worse than death Ramabai assumes one of his clever est disguises and goes to the palace as an agent for a wild animl show, requesting permissoin for them to givo n exhibition in the raena. Um ballah suspicions something and is rather reluctant to give concent; but Winnie is queen, and she insists that the entertainment be given, and the Council of Three, singularly enough, agree with her. Bruce, anticipating this, has secretly ordered his men to bore a tunnel from a point under the stage to another outside the palace walls. The next scene shows the great arena in gala decorations, crowded with royalty and the people of Allaha. Then Kathlyn appears garbed as a trainer. A woman train er is something new in thmat local ity, and when Kathlyn appears in that guise she is wildly applauded by the people. She agrees to face the sav age carnivora and make them per form, provided that tho queen of the day be allowed to stand beside her. This personage, of course, is her sis ter, Winie, and she imperiously de mands the right as queen to d o as she pleases. She accordingly desends from the royal box by a rope ladder into the arena. Umballah is furious. Kathlyn gives the show with the ti gers and leopards as her sister stands by the cage. Just then the hungry lions come a roaring rampant herd leaping after them. They ruch to ward Kathlyn and her sister, but they rush into thep erformer's cage and ipring tho trap, descending to the tun lei as if by magic. The trapdoor closes quickly so the angry brutes leap about, snarling and roaring once again balked of their human prey. At tho Grand Theatre Sunday, July 18th. E. N. SMITH RETURNED TODAY WITH A BRIDE. E. N. Smith, tho well-known real estate man, returned today from a trip to California and the east.

At four o'clock yesterday mroning the gasolino launch Queen went out over tho bar headed for Coos Bay. The sea was quite heavy and as the little craft went over the bar ah was struck by a heavy swell which wash ed over the bow striking the cabin and breaking several window lights und flooding the engine, quickly put ting it out of commission. The an :bor was immediately thrown out but could not hold tbeb oat which gradually drifted toward the rocks. The distress alarm was given and the Banodn life saving crew respond- jd in the power boat. A line was giv ;n the disabled Queen, and a start made for still water, but just as the oats were rounding the south jetty another heavy swell struck tho loats with the result that the Una jeeame caught under tho rudder of tho life boat and became tangled up in tho propellor, thus putting it out of commission also. The boats drifted onto the sand about 200 yards south of the jetty, where they were anchor ed, and tho life boat was taken off about 5:00 o'clock yesterday after- .loon and safely taken to the sta tion. The Queen, however, is stltl on tho sand and it will be nocesanry to wait for a little better conditionr. be fore she can be taken off. Although the Queen and her crew were in great danger for a while the only serious mishap was when H. W. Dunham was knocked overboard, but was quickly rescued by Mr. Gra ham. Mr. Dunham's hand and knee were hurt and he has a bad gash in his face. i The Queen is owned by Karl Gra ham of Coquille and was manned yes terday morning by Mr. Graham, und II. W. Dunham and C. M. Maupins. The boat was on her way to Coos Bay whero she bad been chartered for two years by tho Southern Pa cific as a supply boat. The Bandon life saving crew as us ual did some good fast work, and it was only through their effortsi that the lives of tho men on the Queen were saved, as in a very few minutes the boat would have been da shod against the rocks and been destroyed and tho mon would have gone down to certain death.
