Old Pioneer Passes Away
Jas. Jordan, ono of Coos Bay 'a oldest
pioneers, died yesterday morning in Em
piro at the borne of his daughter, Mra. C.
Secatrom, after quito a long illness. Ae
to Mr. Jordan's exact age thero has been
some question, but Cbas. Seestrom, hie
son-in-law, states that bo waa born in
1S05, making hla age 97 at the time of
hia death.
He came to Coos Bay at an early date,
about 1S53, and waa a well known fignre
in the old pioneering days. He follow
ed banting and trapping mainly thongh
at one Umo be ran a store for a abort
time in be building erected by John
Perabbaker, which was tho first atore at
what ia now called Marshfleld, This
building later became the Western ho
tel, and ia now occupied by Gov Why's
store.
Mr. Jordan married ono of the native
woman of Coos and was quite an influ
ential man with the Indiana in the
early days. At ono Umo he was well
off financially, but liko many cf the
pioncerB, be did n-jt have the faculty of
taking full advantago of tho openings for
financial advancement.
He raised quite a family of children
ofwbomthe following survive bim:
Mrs C'haE. Seeatrom and Peter Jordan
ofTenmlle. and Mra Wm Watora of
North Slough.
Mr Jordan's life for many years had
been uncut mostly on theTcnmile lakte
where he had a good place. There hia
wifo died about a dozen years ago, and
there the old pioneer will bo buried by
the aide of hia life partner and of a con
who la also interred there.
By all who know him, and that In
cludes'all the old settlers, "Old Jim
Jordan" will baheld in the kindliest
remembrance. Peace to hia ashes.

LOST BOYS COME
HOME IN THE MORNING
After an Unpleasant Night Spent
In the Wooc's Minus Food
and Fire
lVter Fcot, Willio Curtis, Albert
Campbell nud Georgo Manning, tho (our
boys for whom searching parties wore
cconrlng tho woods Tueiday nlitht, camo
in about 9 o'clock yesterday morning,
wet, hungry, tired and bruised but not
seriously tho worso for their night in
tho woods.
It seems that they started ont yester
day forenoon with tho intention ol
getting baclt about 1 o'clock. The four
boys startel home togothor before
twelve, lhey had traveled a round
about way and concluded they would
take a short cut home. Just where
they, went la not altogether clear, but
they were etill on their way homo when
darkness overtook them. The night
was wet windy and dark and any ma
terial progress waa impossible even if
they had known which way to go .
At ono time thoy beard tho gum and
saw the lights of tho scarahing party,
but could not get to them. So they
worried through tho nii;ht as bast thoy
could without ehelter, Ifood or fire,
their matches all being wet, and re
sumed tho search for homo at daylight.
Probably CO men wsre out about half
of the night in search of the boys , and
quite a number took up the search
again in the morning. So tho boya
were not the only ones who suffered
discomfort from tho affair,
NO FOOTBALL GAME
WITH EUREKA TEAM
Expense of Entertaining the Marsh
field Boys Too Big a
Load
The prefects for a garno of football
with tho Kurekn team seem to have
gone where tho woodbine twineth.
An interchange of letters and telegrams
has been taking place and tho situation
seem to have eirnmcred down to tho
proposition that Eureka waa too hard
up to etand the expenses of tho Marsh
fielJ team.
Last year, Marehflold coughed up
royally, paid the ti ponces of tho Eureka
team, Unquoted them and did tho
handbome thing, Tho Eureka boys ev
idently do not want to brine our team
down thero on any lues genoroua a scale,
but the town being only six or seven
times the ei?e of Marehfield, was not
equal to the outlay,

ANT1-GAMBLIHG ORDINANCE
SHOWING ITS EFFECT
Whilo thero is naturally some kicking
about tho now gambling ordinance, the
rceult of Its passage and enforcement
scorns to bo giving general satlefactlpn.
Some of tho merchants say that it roado
notlcablo differencu in their trade,
and that somo working men who usual
ly came to town Chi 1st mas and blow In
their monoy at the games before mok
ing their purchaeos, this year Ctted them
solves out witli new clothes etc., before
spending tho balance of tbolr wads on
a good time."
One good effect already to soon from
tlio ordinanco is a thinning of tho num

and performing no useful service for any
