every effort toward expediting the

and a large portion of the heavier
mall had to be diverted to other
routes tho Drain and Coos Bay

perative that the road between Rose
burg and Marshfleld be put Into such
condition that tho malls can be car--Ind

'ill seasons of the year. Mr. Laird's
petition has been almost universally
signed by Roseburg's' cltlzenB and
will doubtless be favorably consider
ed by the county court.
