Marshfield, March 22- -With her deck load gone and ill trouble with | her engines, wallowing helpless in n heavy swell, the steam schooner G. C. Lindauer of San Francisco, was 1 picked up about 4 o'clock this morn ing off Gape Blanco by the Adeline I Smith. ('apt. It. W. Olsen si lit a j wireless message to the C. A. Smith company of this city, saying that lie j had headed back to San Francisco. About six o’clock the steamer Yel­ lowstone, bound for Coos Bay. passed the two boats. Captain Carlson on his arrival here today, stated that the Lindauer seemed to be riding well and was not water logged. He said that last night was a severe one. The southwest wind was not heavy, but there was a terrific swell that tossed the vessels about considerably. The bar was lumpy and he had to wait more than an hour and a half out­ side before coming in about noon. The G. C. Lindauer is known at Marshfield having been in port about two years ago. She is of 453 gross tons, 158 feet in length, has a breadth of 36 feet and carried u crew of 19 men. She was built in 1901 at Aberdeen and Is owned in San Francisco. it was stated that tlie vessel is named for the owner. That the opening of the local shipyard depends almost entirely on the possibility of making satisfactory arrangements with the Moore mill to obtain the necessary lumber at proper figures is the statement made by John Nielson yesterday. Mr. Nielson is negotiating between Chris Nobley of Fortland, who wants to construct two large lumber carrier«, and Kronenberg & Foa|rd of San Francisco, owners of the plant. Mr Nielson received further com­ munication from the Portland man Tuesday and apparently all prelim­ inaries in the deal appear satisfac­ tory. The matter of securing the sliip lumber from the local mill, which Is to open Monday, April 3rd. la still uncertain, although Mr. Pierce, local representative of tho mill interests, has informed Mr. Nielson that he was satisfied pro­ per arrangements could be made, as Mr. Moore is equally Interested with the balance of the local people in seeing the shipyard again in ope­ ration. It is understood that Mr. Kronen­ berg Is enroute to Bandon on tin* : Speedwell, and Mr Moore is also ex­ pected down from Toledo In a short time. An unusual amount of interest is displayed in the pendinx deal by WIIAT HI RAI.

Arthur K. Peck of Marshfield In this Issue of Western World nnnounc es his Candidacy for representative in the legislature. He was in Bandon today getting acquainted with some ot the voters and in an interview stated that of all the measures ei< penned by the various political ar pirants lie endorses only the rural credits measure which he explains In part as follows: “Although tho rural credit Idea Is comparatively new, it has been en­ acted into a law and proven iiiccess- ful In several states By such a measure tlie state will be authorized to bond for 2 per cent of tho assess­ ed valuation, bonds to bear 4 per cent interest, money thus derived to I » loaned to the farmers at 5 per < -nt for five to twenty-five years f>r the exclusive purpose of agricol ( iral development, the system to lie self sustaining on the margin be­ tween interest paid on bonds and re­ ceived from loans. "To get down to cases what would this proposition mean to Coos conn ty? First, It would mean about $4o**,oon oo to be loaned out in Coos county to several hundred farmers, for tho exclusive purpose < f tnrm development. This will mean the lapid agricultural development of Coos county which we all want. Farmers needing funds for develop­ ment, homesteaders who have title to their claims, and farm seekers from other parts of the country will all be in line to use rural credits for the development of dairy land, fruit land, cranberry and loganberry cul­ ture, etc. Second, while this meas­ ure is for the immediate rural bene­ fit yet It will help us all, tor the »400,000.00 loaned out will be most­ ly spent with tlie Coos county mer­ chants in tlie first instance. It will also make farm prosperity which will contribute materially toward town prosperity. Tlie increased develop­ ment will also Increase our assess­ ment roll and help to bear the pres­ ent onerous burden of taxation. “We want our agricultural lands developed, but under the present banking and credit system there Is no long time, low interest credit available to the farmer. And until we get such credit for the farmer we cannot expect our agricultural lands to be developed very much."
