GOVERNMENT ASKS BIDS
Confirms Reported Change in Ronte
to Marsbdtld Until itoad is
Made Passable
on Sawyer Case
Report
Confirmation of the report that the
government is to discontinue the mall
route between Roseburg and Mnrsh
fleld and substitute a route to Coos
Bay by way of Drain and Gardiner,
has reached Roseburg In the nature
of an advertisement for bids for car
rying the mall between this city and
Looking Glass and Itestou. Both
Looking Glass and Reslon are on the
existing mall route from Roseburg to
Marshfleld and the purpose of the
government to supply those places by
an independent line from Roseburg
evidences the fact that the Hue to
Marshneld is to be abandoned.'
The government apparently does
not expect to send the Marshtield
mall by way of Gardiner for any
great length of time, however. In
the advertisement for bids, received
here today from Washington by Post
master t-aras, it is specified that the
contract on the new Roseburg-lteston
line is to terminate on June 30. of
next year, with the day of beginning
nxea as July IS, next. This tends to
support the belief at Marsblield thut
the government will re-establish the
route to that city from Roseburg just
as soon as the road between the two
cities is put into better condition. It
was because of the impassablllty of
the present road during the winter,
resulting In frequent delays to mail
In transit, that the postal authorities
at Washington, after many years of
complaint, decided that a change In
the route was imperative.
Change Aids a Purpose.
It Is understood that Marshfleld
prefers a mail service from this city
to a route by way of Gardiner, but
the change soon to go into effect will
be welcomed by Coos Bay people be
cause It will afford them an oppor
tunity to Improve the road on the
present route without Interruption on
part of daily - stages. If Douglas
county does as much toward Improv
ing this end of the line as Coos county
is going to do on that end the entire
road will be in such a shape within a
year from now as to warrant the
government sending the malls over It
again;
For the past several months agita
tion for the improvement of the read
to this city has been going on at
Marshneld and in Coos county gen
erally, In a manner never before
equalled in strength. This movement
culminated in a county mass meeting
at Coquille yesterday. What was de
cided upon at the meeting has not
yet been learned, but the following
dispatch sent the day before from
Marshfleld tells of what was likely
to be done:
"it will likely be planned to send
a delegation to Roseburg with the
view of inducing the cominlslsoners
of Douglas county to improve their
end of the road and to interest the
commercial bodies in the undertak
ing. It Is held that with a rione and
plank road between Coos Bay and
Roseburg an auto 1'no cou'd be es
tablished ard both mall and passen
gers quickly transported aud tluit
Douglas county on account of the bet
ter transportation, would benefit,
along with Coos.
"The advertisement recently past
ed by the pesteffice department ask
ing for bids to carry the mail to Cnos
Bay by wry cf Gardiner would Indi
cate that the trail wiP be t;ken off
the old wagon road, but there are
no objections to this, as it would
make easier the leb.'dlns of the
road and It is thougt t that when
the Improvement are mad? the post
office departmert would be glad to
change back to the good road.
"Coos county has already let con
tracts for improving the Coos Bay
wagon road from Sumner to the
DouglaB county line, which will cost
about 120,000. It is figured that the
entire road can be put through fof
about $60,000."
Judge J. W. Hamllicn of Rose
burg, will probably be one of the
delegates to appear before the Doug
, las County Court In behalf of the
project.
Mny Kn M,s)t service. '
The changing of th Marshfleld
mall route from this y to Drain
nd Gardiner may mean the diseont n
,'tmnce of the night mail service at the
Roseburg postoffice, although Post
master Parks has rece'ved no offlr i.l
notice to that effect. It was due to
the petition of the ManhHeld Cham
ber of Commerce thPl 'he prerent
night service at the rostofice wis
established In OTdcr to cllm'natc a I

superior authority of Chnrles Nagel,

who gave President Tnft the alter
native of culling for Mr. North's res

Chamberlain's Liniment.
This Is a new preparation and a
sood one. It is especially valuable
a cure for chronic and muscular
rheumatism, and for the relief from
pain which It affords In acute inflam
matory rheumatism. Those who hnve
used It have Invariably spoken of It
n the highest terms of praise. Lame
back, lame shoulder and stiff neck
are due to rheumatism of the mus-
les, usually brought on by exposure
to cold or damp, and are quickly cur
ed by applying this liniment freely
and massaging the affected parts.
Soreness of the muscles, whether In
duced by violent exercise or injury
Is allayed by this liniment. For sale
by all druggists. C
A. D. Jackson has sued J. L. Ten-
ney in the circuit court here for
$5.60, alleged to be due on a promis
sory note.
S. P. Shutt has sold his newspaper,
the Drain Ncnpareil, to C. L. Parker,
formerly of New Jersey. Mr. Parker
will take charge next Monday.
The old wDcden building at the
corner of Jackson and Cass streets is
being removed to the Episcopal
church grounds to make room for
the new four-story Masonic temple
to be erected right away.
Dlllard & Clayton, the local real
estate agents, repuri the sale of Mrs.
M. E. Rooney's ranch on North Myrtle
Creek to G. D. Reed, of New York.
The 106 acres comprising the place
brought a price of $1500.
The noted case of Professor George
aawyer, tormer principal of the Oak
land publio Bchools, charged with
bigamy, came to an abrupt ond In
tne circuit court here this morning,
when Judge llamlltou. unon motion
of Attorney O. P. Coshow, dismissed
the chaigo against Sawyer and or
dered nim released from- custcdiv.
Attorney Coshow's motion was based
on the failure of the grand Jury to
report on- tne case. The grand iurv
has taken a tecess, under the new
law, until the opening of court In ad
Journed session next October. As.
slstant District Attorney Hermann cb
Jocted to the discharge of Sawyer or.
me grounu tuai tne grand jury was
still in existouce and should be given
further time to act on the case. At
torney Coshow declared that It would
be gross Injustice to Sawyer to keen
him under tho charge any longer, par
ticularly so wnen. tno grand jury of
the term of court last January had
also seen fit not to indict him. Judge
Hamilton ruled that the grand jury
wns to oe considered adjourned, and
inasmuch as It had not indicted Saw
yer the case would have to be diB
missed.
The only evidence against Sawyer
was or a documentary nature, which
was furnished by Galen DuVore, of
uentrnlla, asli., brother of Prof,
Sawyer s wife residing at Oakland. He
testified before the grand jury last
week ou the strength of certain let
ters and other papers; .that Sawyer
had another wife living In Pennsyl
vania. This evidence could not bo
corroborated, however, because of the
absence of material witnesses lu
Pennsylvania, and a state court can
not compel a person In one state to
go to another to give testimony.
ouri nas aujourncu until June 1,
when Judgo Hamilton will rule on
some equity cases. On June 9, Judge
Harris will be hero to try the case
Involving the title to land In the
southern part of tho City of Hose
burg. . .
Before adjourning, tho grand jury
returned "not a true bill" In the
case of Jehu T. Bailey, of Mvrtle
Creek, charged with assault with a
dangerous weapon.
