ROADS AND ROUTES. There teems to bo ranch agitation at tnarshneld over the Mall rervice. There is considerable opposition to tho change though them seems to be no psrtjcua,r reason why any ono should oppose it. The change simply means better service (or the buy and one ceo! road leading into the county. Douglas County is willing to help make one road but will not help so Ions: as there are twoas it is claimed that the counties ca n't improve tho two routes. The Coos county com missioners have also lureed to sec that this end ol the road is put into good shape thus making one good road into the county over the most natural route. It Douglas and Coca counties make the improvements they say they will, the mail will be carried in rigs the year round so those opposed to the changt need not howl about the poor pack horses. It simply menus belter mail service (or Marshfield, a road which will enable yoa to travel over it all seasons of the year and increased travel to tho bay as well as other portions of the county. It is hoped that the people o( the bay side will not be foolish enough to stand in their own light. Last winter when tho bay napers were howling for a better service and the town was without mail for a week at one time, we were receiving our mail regularly a d on time. In fact there was but one t. m . i..mi Ae mini to receive our mail on :. Lrtri Junt when the mail was l'einh- cur cd over tho old route with icck h'.r'ea the rtHge was rnnning on the M ddle Fork route aud comrninv ihrnuv-t it, 1-1 hour. At- either road JtK-l nor Lrfii improved any at thle time ol the year it shows the natural condi tion of the two routes. The contractor infermes us that he camo through in 13 hours laet May with the mail, and also made the drivo this summer is 0 hoars and 85 minutes. Wo simply call atten tion to these facts to show the natural conditions of the two roads and which could be made the better. It wonld be impossible to have a winter road of the Coos bay route as the snow is so deep as to make it impossible to get through at times while the Middle Fork is not troubled in this rfspect. Myrtle Point Enterprise, The last point mado by the Enterprise is undoubtedly a good one. There is more trouble with enow on the Coos Bay Wagon road than on the other, If the die were irrevocably cast that one of the roads muet bo abandoned, it mijht bo better to abandon the old road ; but sb the Mail has ealdjbeforo, aban doning roads is a very poor way to open op a country. We want more, not less, roads, If Douglas county really wants to improve the newer road she will never be deterred by tho fact that the older ono is still open. Nor is it apparent what authority the Emterpriee has to tpeak for Douglas county in this matter, The pooplo on the bay are not calling ior the neglect nor abandonment of the Middle .Fork onte; Improve them all, and it the Bay .can aeeist in getting state P' brnational'oaey ioc the Middle Fork roid Uio Mau. can safely guarantee tlint Uc. nil! bo Rind to do It. Hut do not try to kill tho old road. Its days of' , , usefulness nro far from Ikmpr over. BofnrnMho mall rout of a concerned, ' nil tho poffllilllitiPR o( making n winter park drive of the Middle Fork road cut no figure. I it can bo shown thnt it will Ik an immediate Improvement on the present ronte, that showing has not jet been mado. That week last Winter when this town pot no mail is only n dream of the Enterprise, and not a U-atiful dream cither. Winter is now corning on. It would not bo a bad id;&, to keep tab on tho two routes tlds Vinter and spo. which really gives the better service. Tho other route is already one notch ahead, unless they also suffered 21 hours delay of one day's mail by the recent storm. f Editorials of the People X Under thlt head the MAIL will V ft pltaud to oublith communication on ft lubjfct ot rubllc Interest, tto.mlac n ft rptnilbll:ty for the tentlmtatt O preticd Contribution! aialnvltid OMCOT8MWI0UliHMMII Kd Co.r Mail: The Coot Hay wagon Hoaditea hail with deep satisfaction the enlistment of Manhfield's progressive business brigade ho havo marched to the protection o this old and reliable route. The Coast Mail has been eagerly sought aud care fully studied. And I have heard it I suggested that the Ottixen make a care- ..i .. i M...u.i,i . . .i ' the actnal number of business men who Here opposed to and whose nameB wore, not on the list for the C. B. W. R. It is also apparent that this demonstra tion ehot is sufficient to blow to perga lory the great bag which has carried the great volume ot gas and wind o'or the Middle fork routo and let this great contention go to the by onei and main tain our two routes as of yore, giving each and every citizen and tax payer an rqual show for his rights, roads and mails, for they are free-born aud ueually white the C, B. W, R-ites. It Is well known that these poor fellows have on dured many hardships and pr'vationn and are loyal citizens and tax payers and rightfully deterve the mail service they now enjoy. It is also appasant eatistics show that Uucle Bam is financi ally able to retain those two littlo ma" routes for the good of bisichildren, with a small balance to defray Teddie'a hunt ing bills. I would therefore suggeet that we take not from Peter to pay Paul but let good enough alone and work as one united family for general develop ment of oar county, and to accomplish this improve roads and perfect tho best mail service possible, W. 0.

CAUCUS DEFEATS ITSELF By Method of Making Nominations for Councllmen From Frlday'a Dally, It is now evident to all, and perhaps waa to Bomo before, that the manner of nominating tandidatea for councllmen, adopted by the citizens' CaucuB, will havo the result of delecting the inten tions of the CaucuB itself. It ie safe to assume that in making out his ballot for candidates, each man voted for the throe men who wore hia prefer ence for councllmen. Tho convention placed the four receiving the highest vote on the ticket as candidates for the three year term, for whioh only two can bo'electedj and the "Wo Hcalying the next hihot no candidates (or the two J'0,,r ,orm ,or w-,,d' o olMloil. Whnt is tho result? Only two out ol I tlio (our blithest enn bo elected to tint , '"" vu "" 'council, wlillo two must bo defeated, and ,, .i,, ,, , .... ., the other uinii rlinteii iron the two re- j ct.Vicit tlio fifftli nml sixtli hlt-hest voted. III this case it happens thnt three men received over 70 votun each, while, the next highest received , fliio of these three receiving over 70 votes must be defeated altogether. If the gentleman receiving 41 votes declined to run, the voters must till the two-year vsennev with someone who received only about hall as many votes in cauciiH an thu man defeated, whichever hu bo, that received over 70. This is pointed out without any refer once to the gentlemen themselves who were voted for, and only to show that this system of caucus nomination is cer tain to result in keeping off thu board one ol the men whom the majority of the caucus desired to see elested. If it is too late now to remedy this defect, it should be borne in mind until next time and a different method used, Will Make Ton 8tp.

My wife had liver trouble and a neighbor gave her some of your liver pill to try, after which we bought a bottle of them and my wife used them un til cured. Since then I have used them and I must say that I have never used any pills that gave me the satisfaction thete have. Wc also use Dr. Miles' Anti-I'iln Pills with greatest satisfaction. Three years ago our son Harry had inflammatory rheumatism. He had suffered so much that I believe if we had not given him Dr. Miles' Antl-l'ain Pills which relieved him almost instantly he would have died.

Wa use them in the family and find them excel lent for the women folks. This high altitude makes them very nervous.

IU1'tivate advices from Russia unite In the opinion that tlio trial of tlm perpetrators of the terrible massacre of Jews at Klsheneff Is to ho a morn mockery. According toolllr.lal an nouncement the trial bog inn today at Kislieneff, Thu uriungKiuuiits (or thx trial all tend to show thnt tho Kusviiui Government does not intend light to bo thrown on Itt responsibility in connec tion with thu outrages. Tho minister of justice ha ordered thnt the strictest secrecy regarding the testimony shall bo maintained, thus excluding all report ers fn m the courtroom. No report of the proceedings will roach the public except through official channels, while tho judges will all ho dependents if the Government, and the examination of witnesses will bo under the iulluoticeof thu administrative authorities. Although rumors of Impending mas sacres were current a fortnight before tho outrnges, the indictment denies that tho massacres woro tho result of prevlotiH organization. Tho Indictment, howevi r, proves that the mnssacres were not pro voked by tho exploitation ol the local population by the Jeua, since it state that the chief part in the riot" was plat ed by workingmen of (hu Hiisslnu cen tral provinces, whore the Jew do not possess domlcilinry rights, and there, (ore cannot exploit the Christians.
