Engineer Arrives To Look Over The Project " And Arrange Details Work on the local harbor liy the government is to liej;in at once. Army engineer C. It. Wright arrived in Uandon Friday from the Portland of fice and will have charge of the work. Mr. Wright is looking over the sit uation, getting acquainted with local conditions and as soon as the instru ment! arivc, which will he in a very few days, a stadia survey will lie made preliminary to the wor The tramway which was used in the former jetty work will ho repair ed and new sections put in whore the old ones have been washed away The tramway .will run from Tupper rock to the river and the rock for the jetty work will bo taken to the wa ter's edge on trains and taken across the river on scows to the north jolty the same as before. There is something over twenty thousand dollars of the $20,000 ap propriated at the last session of con grcss,nov nvnilablo, and as coon as this is spent, the $70,000 ponding in the present Itivor's & Harbors hilt will be availableso continuous work will be carried on until at lcast$1000, 000 is apent. This will he the largest llAollntfntt'tnlly, one time in the history of the local harbor. The plan is to first repair the jetty from the lighthouse shoreward, the section that was washed out about u year ago by the big tides and hea vy swells. After this is completed tho outer jettywill be repaired and extended several hundred feet sen ward so as to protect the liar from tho drifting sands from the north during the northerly winds in the sum lucr. Tho Port Commissioners have ask ed for a survey of the inner harbor. The Portland odico has authority to make a survey of the Handon liar hor and charge thecost of the same to the emergency fund, but i survey of tho river cannot be undo taken until it is authorized in tho bib now pending and the money baconiei available. Mr. Wright will ostnblish olllces in tho First National Hank Huild iug and will direct the work from his headquarters there. lie is stopping at the Hotel Gallier auditing the the arrival of his instruments, when actual vork will begin. Just what will bo done after the re pair of tho jety is completed will de pond upon tho conditions shown by the survey but will probably include removing the rock from tho bar and in ner harbor. It is known that when the jetty is completed and tho rock t ken out that there will he no trouble for boats of deep draft to cross the bar at any time. The work under contemplation will givo employment to a largo force of men and will bu the moans of help ing to liven thing! up a liltlo during the proivss of construction.

However this dope stuir does not always work the way it is supposed to work and too much confidence has spelled de feat for more than one good team. Coach Quigley has turned out a bunch of ball toscers this year that are going to givo a good account of themselves against whomever they play. What they lack in weight they make up in speed and head work, whicd has been demonstrated in the two games they have played. The '18 to lfi and .'!( to 11 scores piled up against Riverton and Myrtle Point respectively speak for themselves. It is true that in both of these games the local boys had the advantage in playing on their home fioor. A week ago Myrtle Point defeated Coquille 21 to 10, but here again tho loosera were playing on strange ground. In Friday night's game Han don must realize that they are on a strange floor and that their oppon ents are the ones who will have the advantage. The high school student body is planning to run an excursion boat to Coquille Saturday afternoon, return ing after the game, but definite ar rangements as to time, fare and other incidents have not yet been arranged. Adolph Johnson is now one of the members of the local Life Saving Sta tion. MYRTLE POINT IS GREATLY STIRRED District Attorney Liljeqvist Gels Anonymous Letters About Russell Death COQUILLE, Ore., JAN. 18., Myr tle Point and vicinity is greatly arous ed over the reports in connection with the sudden death of Rancher Russell of the .charges of poisoning which was made by Penlon, a former Myr tle Point man who suddenly disap peared after making them, is now Mmler way. Coroner Wilson was expected today to exhume the remains of Russell, but word was received that he had been detained in Portland and would not arrive befort Tuesday or Wednes- District Attorney Liljeqvist has re ceived a number of anonymous let ters in addition to tho many verbal complaints concerning tho matter and little by little additional circumstan tial ovidenceo is being securd to sus tain Penlon's sworn statements con cerning the crime. It is expected that Ponlun will be located soon. VAUDUVILLU ATTRACTION AT THIS (IRANI) THUATRU.

Myrtle High School is Com pletely Swamped by the Fast Aggregation. F'vi points u. tin- first minute and a quarter of play is largely respon sible for the IJG to 12 drubbing that tlie Handon High School boys administered to the Myrtle Point Quin tette on tho local basketball floor Fri day evening. With those five points the visitors lost heart and never dur ing tho contest were they in the game very strong. Following the first whistle, Windsor' tipped the ball to Pullen, who return ed to Windsor, and the lanky center ring for the first two. points, just five seconds after the ball went up at cen ter. Handon followed close on this with another field goal and Pullen then connected with the basket from the foul line. Handon 5, Myrtle Point 0. Time consumed, 1 minute and 15 sec onds. Let that suffice for the account of the details of he contest, as the rest was very much the same. Myrtle Point scored a field and four foul throws in the first half and annexed the samenumber of points in the same manner during tho second period. Lack of systematic coaching seemed to be the main trouble with the visit ors. From among he Handon aggrega tion it would be hard, to pick a star Every man seemed to be in the run ning in "high gear" and no one seem ed to have a great deal of trouble in connecting with the basket. Arm strong showed up much better than in "the game wftfi'ltiverton and played a good defensive guard, while Shu mate showed that he has possibili ties as a good offensive player. In the first half Handon piled up 23 of their points and in tho second half Smith went in for Armsrong and Low ry took the place of Ivan Pullen dur ing tho last five minutes of play. For Myrtle Point Adams took the place of Wimborly after the first half and the former was replaced by Johnson to wards the close of the game. Several backers for the visitors came down the river with the team and vied with Handon roocrs from the side linos. For thefirst time this year local rooters gave their team something like the support that they should have, but there was one de plorable fact the almost total lack of boys in the rooting section. The line up follows: Uandon; Windsor.center; I Pullen, L. Pullen and Lowry, forwards; Shu mate, Armstrong and Smith.guards. Myrtle Point; Hall, center; E. Spires, Wimberly and Adams, for wards; Adams, Johnson, R. Spires, guards. Officials; Hrown, referee; Roak.um pirc. Fred Tebbin, special agent for the St Paul and American Central Insur ance companies, arrived in Handon Sunday evening to adjust the loss of Thos.

VICTOR HUGO'S OPTIMISM A day will come when the only battle-field will be the market open to commerce and the mind opening to new ideas. A day will come when bullets and bombshells will be replac ed by votes, by the universal suffrage of nations, by tho venerable arbitra tion of a great sovereign senate, which will, be to Europe what the Parliament is to England, what the Diet is to Germany, what the legisla tive assembly i.s to France. A day will come when the cannon will be exhibited in public museums, just as an insti anient of torture is now, and people will bo astonished how such a thing could have been. A -day will come when these two immense groups the United States of Europe and the United States of America shall be soon placed in presence of eacli other extending tho hand of fellowship a cross the sea. ENJOY AN EVENING OF CLASSIC MUSIC Pupils of Professor Richards Present a Pleasing Pro gram Friday Evening "An Evening of Music" given by the pupils of Prof. A. Richards in the hitter's studio, Friday night, proved to be one of the classical treats of the season, combining well chosen select ions of the best composers which were wonderfully rendered. It took the sweet strains of'Sonio where a voice is calling", sung by Prof. Richards, to put the audience in a receptive mood for the instru mental selections which followed, two of whic h especially deserve credit. These were "Spinning Wheel and "Reverie Ops. !M and No 5", pi ano solos by Miss Alia Hansen. Mis Hansen is possessed of a touch that is equaled by very few musicians of considerable moro experience and practice thanshe. It was in "Ave Marie" by Charles Counod that Melford Westleder demonstrated his talent with the violin and nothing can moro aptly express his reception than the much worn phrase. 'ho mado a hit From tho standpoint of rendition Listz's "Liebestttium"-A Dioam of Lovu- might bo said to bo tho climax of the evening and Hubert Robbins well deserved all of tho praise that was awarded to him on this and his ther selections, "To Sprinip", by Greigs. Mm. A. Carfiuld actod as accom panist for the violin selections. Following are the numbers lis thoy wore given: Little Grey Home In the West, Horman Lohr. 2 Ono Hundred Years From. Now.

This report show that 507,180 head of live stock of all classes wns received during the past year. 2,r0(i calves and 1,2:!!) homes and mules. Oregon's contrib ution to this impressive total was 18, 708 cattle, 2, I t!) calves, M-1001 hogs and 100125 sheep leaving only an un important balance to bo credited to surounding states. One of the notable features of this report is the remarkable falling olf in the number of calves received, only 2,500 having been received in 1011 as compared with -Nidi! in 10111; 2780 in l'.)12;(iS18 in 1011; unci :I2!7 in 1010 This falling off in the shipment of calves seems to indicate that the for mers are generally recognizing the importance of retaining all meat an imals either as future breeders or to bo shiped as adult animals, a move ment which can only result in in creased financial returns for the far mers and a more rapid meat increase in the meat supply of the slate. In the interest of lower taxes, the legislature baji abqlishejlthq Oregon Stale Immigration Commission au! the office of state Immigration agent the later held by C. C. Chapman. A; neither the. members of the conuuis sion or Mr. Chapman received ail salary or other compensation, thej did not oppose the repeal of the law.

Portland business real .no that the city is overgrown, it comparison with the agricultural do velopment of the state, and insteai. of being discouraged by the with drawal of stale assistance, they are determined to continue their efi"ort. to bring more farmers to Oregon to people' its vacant lands. Farmer Smith, of the O. W. R. A N. Co. has made a careful survey of farm prospects for 1015 and he states that all indications point toward a most unusual demand this year for all classes of cereals, probably in ex cess of tho supply, and he suggests that farmers who have not already planted as largo an acreage as pos sible to winter wheat should he care ful to retain sufficient seed to mahe liberal sowings in the spring. Ho ot. Kci41ly rocommends that farmois plant as much corn as possible as it will make moro slock feud than any other crop and with properly selec ted seed can bo grown successfully in all parts of the Northwest.

Um mJ It m m PmuUm mmi Mf u$ COAL PRODUCTION OF PACIFIC COAST STATUS The production of coal in Washing Ion, which is the only coal producing date of any of the important states of the Pacific coast, has been consider -ibly reduced during recent years by the great output of pelroliuiu in Cal ifornia and its use as fuel for man nfacturiijg and railroad purposes. It is estimated that the consumption of California oil for fuel on the Pacific coast is equivalent to about. 20,000, 000 tons of coal, or about six times'' the output of coal in Washington or, for that matter in all the Pacific coast slates combind 1011 which was, accor ding to U. W. Parker, of the United 20 and !!() per cent less than it was in .101", when the production amount ed to ;:, 8777,801 short tons. Opera tors are of the opinion that the steam or consumption of coal was somewhat less in 1011 thain in 10111, because of the Kuropcan war, and that an e qual quantity was lost through the smaller consumption by smelters be cause of decreased production anil low price of copper. Uighty per cent of the decrease in production, howev er, was due to decreases in demands from railroads anil manufactuiers, and in the domestic trade owing to tha necessity for economy. A decrease of dt leilst25(f,00 tons in the stafo is estimated in the domestic consump tion alone. The principal efi'ect af the war upon Washington appears to have been exercised upon tho lum ber camps, as the export trade, which affords the chief market for the lum ber, was almost entirely cut oini'. Tho unusully warm weather which in. Washington late in the fall and early in the winter of lOil had also its influence in"reducing tho production of coal in the slate. A -.light movement to tho gooil which promised a belter showing on the future was the arrival of some tramp steamers by the Panama Canal which took coal for their return trips. In 'erruption to ocean travel by tho war however, has made the tramp ntea- inor a rare visitor. I1RIUF NOTUS OF INTURUST.
