E. SMITH P. A. Devers Confirms Report of Activity of Harriman Interests East of Here. Confirmation of the reports of activity of the Hcrriman interests in Western Idaho and Central Oregon for the probable purpose of arranging for a line across Central Oregon to Coos Bay is contained in a letter which J.

Bennett received yesterday from P. A. Devers, a former well-known Coos Bay man who is now located in Portland. At Boise, this activity was interpreted as a bluff or move to shut off the agitation for the state or district aided railway from Boise to Coos Bay. Mr.

Dr O. E. Smith, a well-known pioneer of Coos Bay and an extensive property-owner here, but who moved from Marshfield to Eugene six years ago, is critically ill at the North Pacific Sanitarium, Portland, of cancer. But little hope is entertained for his recovery. Dr.

Bandon Woodmen Lodge Denies That Missing Man Has Been Found. BANDON April 2 4.

There is considerable anxiety in this community over the whereabouts of a young man named C. A. Barnott, who disappeared February 23, and has not been heard of since. The young man is described as follows: Five feet 10 inches in height, weight 160 pounds, hair dark, eyes blue, and complexion light. He is 21 years old, and uses his left hand when writing.

Barnett was known to have some money on his person as he had been paid off by the Smith Mill of Marshfield, only the day before, and it is thought there may have been foul play, with the intent of robbery. The local lodge of Modern Woodmen of America, of which Barnett was a member taken up the search through its secretary, E. E. Oakes.

After considerable discussion, the following resolutions were adopted by the executive committee of the Marshfield Chamber of Commerce this afternoon: Whereas, on the 20th day of April 1909. the Executive Committee of the Chamber of Commerce met and eonsideerd the names of citizens, which in the members judgment, would make suitable material to serve on the Board of Port Commissioners, and Whereas, the committee, after discussion and deliberation, decided to recommend to the governor a list of five names, and, Whereas, it has come to the notice of the committee, that there are citizens, members of the Chamber of Commerce and of the Executive Committee that would prefer a different personnel for the Commission, and, Whereas it has always been the policy of the Chamber of Commerce to harmonize as far as possible all interests in every movement looking to upbuilding and advancement of the community, and, Whereas it has always tried to act as a factor in concentrating action and energies, and, Whereas the Chamber of Commerce has no interests to serve but the public good and no friends to reward or enemies to punish, and, Whereas it recognizes merits in all persons whose names have been mentioned and is pleased to testify to their good standing, therefore be it Resolved, that this committee encourages and commends every citizen of the Coos Bay Port District who shows sufficient interest to urge the name of any person who, in his judgment is best qualified to serve the people on the Board, and be it further.
