Camp Means for Aiding South Elects Delegates to County Coos River Residents Convention ' Tho question of mall delivery on ! tho Inlets around Coos Hay Is nrnus Jng much attention In view of tho un favorable report mado on It by tho Postofflco Department. There Is a, growing demand for tho mail servlco i especially a dally servlco for along ' tho Inlets. I Capt. Edwards of tho Alert stated todny that about eight years ago a Postofflco .Inspector went over tho Inlets nnd reported adversely. Then tho Inspector Insisted that In order to carry mall n special boat would bo re quired that would not bo pormltted to carry passongors and handle freight. As they only wanted to pay $50 per month It was out of tho question to got anyono to do lr. Then Capt. Ed wards arranged to liavo Allegany mado a postofflco nnd by doing so was ennblcd to establish mall servlco on tho North Fork. Tho Allegany postofflco docs not glvo dally sor A'lco, or rather Sunday service, but It la an Improvomonl on tho old Bystom. Capt. Edwards suggests that If tho Coos lllvor rcBldontB would get to fiothor nnd lmvo n postofflco cstab (WlJahcd at Daniels Creole or noar there, then tho mall servlco could bo put on tho samo basis as on North Coos lllv or and Allegany. It Is likely thnt somothlng wilt bo dono in this direction. COUPLE WED IN Willi I C 111 uUuUILLLi III w r I M m t At a meeting of Marshfield Cnmp, M. W.

The official Government tests have shown Royal Baking Powder to be a pure, healthful, grape cream of tartar baking powder, of highest strength, and care should be taken to prevent the substitution of any other brand in its place. Royal Baking Powder costs only a fair price per pound, and is cheaper and better at its price than any other baking powder in the world. The funeral of Donj.

S. A., nt the ago of 08 years, 11 months nnd 12 days, During his boyhood days, as early ns ten years of ngo, In England, ho worked with his fnthor nt mining. When ho was about eighteen years of ago ho camo to this country, where, in tho state of Maryland, ho Indus triously followed tho mining opera tions. When ho wns about twenty years of ago ho was united In marringo to Mnry Ann Tliomns, who wns n natlvo of Wnles. Eleven children wero born to this union. Lntor on Mr. Roberts and his fam ily moved westward to California for a soaBon, hut finally they camo to Oregon In 1872 nnd to Coos county, who re In tho various mines nt East port and olsowlicro ho again applied lilniBolf for u porlod of four years at mining. In 1S7G he took up n homestead which has becomo hU homo to tho time of IiIb death. Ho was among thoso who organized tho Lakeside Creamery, being a director and malin ger for yonrs. Ho wns iiIbo tho first school clerk in tho Tomploton dist rict nnd remained In Hint office dur ing nil his llfo until InBt year.
