A previous experience as an officer in San Francisco fits Officer Stone well for dealing with the criminal element. and he proposes to put his knowledge of criminals to good use in dealing with the light-fingered gentry who find their way into this city.

James CofTee and Ira Kisor, recent arrivals in North Bend, were arrested yesterday morning by Night Officer Stone and are now in jail awaiting examination on a charge of stealing a watch from Ed Kean, of Marshfield.

The men had all been drinking in a saloon here, and at 3 o'clock Sunday morning Kean missed his watch. The two strangers had left the saloon a few minutes lielore the discovery was made, hut Kean followed them out to the street and induced them to return to the saloon, where he accused them of taking the timepiece. The accusation was denied and the men were searched, with the result that the watch was found on the person of Coffee. When the watch was found Coffee was as innocent as Topsv, when she was caught with ribbons belonging to Miss Ophelia in her possession he could not account for the way it had been transferred to his person. A description of the men was given to Officer Stone, and this morning he located the men.

When arrested Coffee admitted having the watch, but said that he had always been an honest workingman, but that he must have taken the timepiece when he was very, very drunk. According to his own story Coffee has been a wanderer for many years. He says that he walked here from Koseburg, and when lie arrived here he went to work for Contractor Burns, who was employing his partner, Kisor, The latter claims Corvallis, as his home. He said that he met Coffee at Roselnirg, and the two men came here together. W.

"Jack Guyton, the newspaper man who will take charge of the 'editorial department of the Coos Bay Times about the middle of this month, has some very interesting statements to make in an interview with Ihe Los Angeles Herald of recent date. Following Is the way Coos Bay impressed Mr. Guyton: "The general advancement in Oregon is liy no incaiis confined to Portland Farther on down the coast is a locality as Coos Bay. On a tine harbor is situated Ihe town of Marshfield and several other smaller places. While tills country Is so'tte- what difficult to reach at the present time, ii is soon to be opened up for business.

Now the only way to get there Is in stage coach from the Southern Pacific or by boat from Portland or San Francisco. But the Southern Pacific Is now building a road from Drain, which will extend through Coos Bay and on down through Eureka, and to San Francisco, giving that railroad a coast line. "With Ihe extensive coal and timber wealth and other resources as1 yet undeveloped, the Coos Bay people think, apparently with good reason, that they will have In the future an important seaport. The lack of railroads which in the past has been the only objection to the locality, is now to-be removed by the Southern i Pacific extension, and a vast and rich country' will be opened to the commerce of the country, and an-, other seaport created. "Activity in the way of railroad construction helps materially In the general boom of the Northwest.

Ta- coma claims the future terminus of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul and hopes to be the end of the new Northwestern line. At Spokane the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul will also touch, and an extension of the Canadian Pacific 1b being built Into that city. These are only gome of the railroad improvements.

No longer can the wall go up that there is no market for their hay crop. The tremendous growth of Marshfield and the building of a new city at the Bend has made hay in this market scarce as hens teeth. There Is no clean timothy and clover at any price, and the oats hay is at a premium, while Oregon grass is in great demand. G. E.

Mickey, who was down at the depot trying to get cars to ship hay from Coqullle, told a Times reporter that he had a hard time to compete with Portland, end that the Willamette valley supplied half the market at Marshfield and nearly all or it at North mma. 0.jss could be bought at $9 a ton In Portland, and shipped hprt for $3 a ton. It sells for $13 a ton when delivered. "It costs as much to ship hay to North Bend front Coqullle as from Portland, continued Mr. Mickey.

After we have paid $1 a ton for freight, the hav must be unloaded ion a scow and taken to North Bend. Then we have to unload again and pay $1 a ton to haul it to the warehouse. licit of the best hay here Is oat Day of the white and red varl-et b3. When asked why th farmers did not grow and harvest enough hay to supply the market, Mr. Mickey said.

It is simply for the reason that Marshfield and North Bend are using twice as much hay as they were la it year. Now that the farmers know that they have a good market at a good price, they will not be alow la supplying the demand. The people of Marahfleld who are paying taxes for protection and for street Improvements, are entitled to It. THE PENINSULA WILL BE A MARINE CITY REAL ESTATE AGENTS I SE LAlXCHES IX FREE-EREXCE TO A CTOS.

To have sold a thousand lots within a few months oulj indicates that Marshfield is more than holding its own as a real estate center of a-tivity, and "then some, to use til-language of the streit. Coos Bay stretches out its arm; like a huge octopus anil gathers ii not only the trade of Coos, but o-other counties. That it is a nmrim city, one has but to look over tin Bay and see the three-masted schooners, the ocean steamers and river boats arriving and depaitiug at all hours of the day and night.
