Under Arrest
I. Rosenlicrg, formerly in the cloth-
g business in Coquillc is being held
Crescent city awaiting the nrrlv
of requisition papers on the charge
defrauding the bank of Hnndon out
$475.
Tho story of the alleged crime is a
rioun one and leaves room for the
spicion that Rosenborg is a wronged
an and there is u chance that a dif-
rent aspect may be put upon the
ho when all the details arc made
-;iown. As known tho circumstances
the affair are as follows:
Rosenberg appeared :t the Hank of
union and asked the cashier to ue-
pt his draft on an eastern bank for
c amount stated arid was informed
at this could be done upon giving
tlsfactory proof that ho hail the
oncy on deposit in the east and upon
opcr identification.
In proof, Rosenberg presented his
Ass book on wio Providence Trust and
jjivings Hank of Cincinrmtti, Ohio in
hich, among other credits, was
own a credit of ?1000.15. Tho bank
en had him wire the Ohio bank to
Sirn if a'draft for $175.00 would bo
'mil t litu nntnn In i-nhii-M (Iimr
Iived u telegram stating that tho ac
unt was good and they would bo
otected to the nmnunt of the draft

won.
Although Rosenberg has done bus
ies for vnars thrnuirli tlin Cnnuillo
nks and is quite well known in Ban.
n, tlio bank reiucstcd further Tdcn-
Ication which was furnished by lo
1 business men.
When tho draft reached tho drawee
Ink bv mail, it was refused.
3 When it canio to hunt up Rosenborg
J ask for an explanation it was found
at he had gone and his wbcreabouts
t at all certain. Tho bank officials
en put the matter in the hands of
Jjoir attorney, Geo. II. Topping, and
warrant for Rosenberg's arrest was
immlintcly issued and the sheriff
id district attorney took hold of the
so.

When arrested at Crescent City,
isenbcrg protested his innocence and
pressed a willingness to return to
ios couty without requisition papers.

pers were asked for yesterday.
All reports unite that Rosenberg
is been in business In Coquillc for
lo nast three years.IIe is a Russian
fw and was in business previously
ong tho Columbia river as well as
Texas. As far as personal intogri
goes ho appears to have a good rep.

'tor business at Powers recently got
in into trouble. Disregarding the
anting not to solicit among tho men
that personally conducted town he
ok his sample books and went after

San Diego Sunshine
Pleases M. G. Pohl
Writes of Work Repairing Damage of
Last Storm in Southern California
San Diego, Feb. 17th, 1910
Editor Recorder: It is a question
whether there are many copies of your
paper that have an opportunity to
please as many people as the one I re
ceive. Not only in this city but from
hero it goes to ElCajon to the Hollen
!eck8 and the Lambs. Some think of
subscribing and as long as they do
not do so may this bo a reminder not
to think so much but to do it.
For two weeks I failed to send a re
port. Why? Thero was not much to
report of interest to your readers, but
dnco the glorious weather has sot in
which wo enjoy now with a temper
ature of 80 to 81 degrees and nights
froni fi-l.-to 5G degrees, who would not
learn from the sweet song of tho birds
to rojoice. Oh, how good it feels to
have tho sun warm up everything, to
look and sec the fresh green of the
fields, the flowers blooming every
where; the children nt recess playing
ind singing and rejoicing at the near
by school. My friend, this makes the
observer feel as though ho were young
igain, reminding him of tho days gone
by, no doubt being tho happiest days
of each and every life.
Dnys have past and we do not no
tico it, every tick of the clock is a part
if life every day, months and years
iro such ticks, ticking away to eter
nity. Do wo use usefully? Do wo ndd
kindness and hclpfullucss, without
which lifo is only a poor existence.
Hero in San Diego and tho county,
wo have had a good example.
Tho stcrm of tho last week in Jan
uary lias done a great deal of harm.
Hut it opened tho licr.rts of those not
Injured. It was wonderful to sco the
work done by tho Chamber of Com
merce here. The great rooms of this
institution were filled with nl! kinds
of goods to aid and help the sufferers;
to fc and clothe, and r.t t'u table
for cash contribution money came
without stint.
While outcido aid and help woro giv
en where ever need and work for men
why for tiircc weeks the Santa Fe
railroad employed over 2,000 men to
repair tho damages. Next week, trains
will run again regularly. Other dam
ages were repaired, giving work to
perhaps 2,000 more.
And new this glorious weather,
healing, strengthening everybody.
Come and visit the exposition.
March 1st ia the opening day when all
is in readiness.
Well, let me say good by. Perhaps,
I must come up ngaii.. I can net miss
tho chance to vote next November. I'
hope Mr. .u.k has lot forgotten me
and will allow mo to register.
Regards to all,

A CLOSE GAME
TO MARSHFIELD
Referee Calls Fouls And Barrows Shoots
Them With Clock Like Regularity
Come hither, Evan Cameron, for
we have sage advice for you. Listen
to the tale of how they win basket
ball championships, in the days of real
sport in Coos county: Here is the for
mula in a nut shell: Win fairly if you
can, any old way if you must! Hut
win!
Never mind ideals, let dignity take
a back scat; cut the word courtesy
from the dictionary; and go in, old
top, and win!
Again, Evan, would you tread in
the foot steps of the illustrious, would
you ape tho mighty, learn to bo a ref
eree. Hero are a few recipes:
Cultivate a supercilious smile and
a suspicious eye. He as impartial as
you want but don't show it. Don't al
low anyone to become obsessed with
tho notion that you arc possessed of
any atom of personal dignity. Do as
fair as you want to but cause the
spectators to carry tho notion that
you are a bad man, spoiling for a row
and act with all the unctuous suav
ity of the town bully at a dog fight
This all helps the spectators to en
joy a game.
When you see a chance to call a foul
in the opposition, don't merely call
it. Rut with inflamed face and uplift
ed arm rush at the offending player
is if you intended to cat him up. This
is becoming to your sense of import
ance and gives tho spectators a bet
ter opinion of you.
Of course you might do other
things. You might net as if you were
:.he representative of an institution
of learning which cherishes anything
u common as a good name. But don't
.peak it above a whisper. It is not
the sort of things that ent-blc one to
win championships.
o
In an exciting and closely contested
game at Dreamland last Saturday
night Marshficld won from Handon at
basket ball by a margin of ono point.
'2 to 21 was tho final scoro.
Tho game was close all the way
h'ugh with Marshficld leading most
if tho timo but with numerous op
portunities presented to Handon to
wen matters up and pass into the lead
i feat which they seemed unable to
iccomplisli. Pullen who did most of
the foul shooting tor the locals had
in off night and appeared unablo to
locate the basket. On the contrary,
Harrows, who did tho shooting for
Marshfield, was a finished artist and
missed very few of tho opportunities
offered. Heyond him however the boys
from the bay did not show up with
jxtra brilliancy. Man for man they
looked and acted inferior to the Han
Ion quintette and from appearances
tlie latter should have won by a wide
margin.
In guarding and passing and field
throwing of baskets they led their
Marshfield rivals. Tho only exception
wis in the shooting of fouls.
Although the game was interest
.ng through its closeness, it was to a
largo degree spoiled through the ac
tion of the rerereo, one Grannis, who
it afterward developed was a teacher
of gymnastics in the Marshfield school
Tho locals are working hard with
the idea of capturing the return game
which will bo played at tho end of the
present week. Saturday night they
looked the superiors to the Marshfield
aggregation and with a square deal
they should win.
Tho following is tho line up.

Left London Last September
Arthur Wright, recently arrived
from London, England, is at present
engaged as porter at the Hotel Gal-
lier. Mr. Wright who lias followed the
sea for ten years is of the opinion that
the life of .a land lubber is safer if
less spectacular at present and is
culivating the solid land stride. He
sailed from London on the good ship
Gcrmaine September 5th of last year
having lived in the city during ono
or two Zcpclin ruids. The ship was
bound for Australia and made her
destination safely. Continuing on to
Portland she was preparing for the
icturn to England when Mr.
Wright left her.
Superintendent
Talks Business
Bay Official Tells of Conditions After Com
pletion of Railroad
Supt. Millar of tho Marshfield to
Powers railroad gave tho editor of
the Coquillc Sentinel a few pointers
relative to new conditions when the
road from Eugene to Coos Hay war.
finished. Here arc a few of them.
In the first place he called our at
tcntion to the fnct, of which we had
not been aware, that when the freight
rntes on the North Pacific linq from
Portland to Marshficld had been rais
ed from $.'1.00 a ton to $3.C0, there had
been no corresponding raise in the
rates from Portland to Coquillc, which
still remain at $4.00 for the combined
steamer and rail haul.
As to the business between this sec
tion nnd San Francisco, Mr. Millci
very frankly admitted that ho did not
oxpect.tho railroad would ever bo able
to comoptc with the water carriers
for any part of it. Tho rate of
per ton between Coquillc nnd the Cal
ifornia port would amount to only a-
bout seven and a-half cents par hun
dred for many kinds of goods, and
that sort of a rate would never com
pensate the railroads for tho haul.
As to passenger; rates tho same wan
true. The fare from here to San
Francisco by rail he expected would
bo about the same as from Portland
to that city and the steamer rate if
flo would get the traffic with which
tho cost was the main consideration
As to tho rates between here and
Portland, ho seemed to expect that
the railroad commission would allow
them to charge four cents a mile this
side of Eugene, which would make a
rate of about $8.75 between hero and
Portland.
The timo in which through business
would begin over the Willamette Pa
cific, witli a ferry transfer at tho
Umpqua, he did not think was more
than four weeks, away. The track
laying to the Umpqua was to have
been finslicd yesterday and there only
remains five miles to lay on the other
side of that stream. Getting the 150
feet long piling required on one of tho
lakes up there has retarded the work
but those long logs are in sight now
and the end of tho present month
ought to sco the tracklaying complet
ed. Allowing, however for ballast
ing and unforsecn delays, it is deemed
probable that the opening of the line
will not be deferred beyod tho 15th of
March. That means, however, that
the only rolling stock thak can bo us
ed this side of the Umpqua is what
is here now.
Hy July or August it is expected to
havo tho false work over the river in
shapo so that trains can bo run ncross
and then tho cars, both passenger and
freight, will begin to roll in from the
outside.
It is leari.ed on good auJiority that
F. H. Tichonor will announce his can
didacy in the near future for tho Do
niocrntic nomination for Joint Repre
sentative of Coos and Cuny countios.
Mr. Tichonor comes from pioneer
