subscribers, and the response to these have shown the dir
.versity of mankind. In ono or two instances, where the
subscriber was the head of a concern largely interested in
the development of our county, notices from the postmaster
were received by us, shortly after the statements were rhail-
pd, saying that the paper was being refused at his office,
This, notwithstanding the fact thut the one refusing the pa
per could abundantly afford to take and pay for it, and that
he was in a position where he shoujd help to support the
industries of the county, and further, that he had subscrib
ed legitimately and by taking the paper from the office had
made himself liable for arrear subscription.
Then comes the contrast. One of our statements was
to a working man in the far end of the county. We offered
him a rebate in hopes of encouraging a settlement. Back
came his reply with a remittance- in full sufficient to pay
(or Ma naper a year in advance, and in his letter was the
following statement:
“I would not agree to any rebate, your paper is worth
the full price.”
A»Qther letter such 4« helps to lessen the annoyance of
running into the ijowspaper slacker and cheers the country
publisher on his way, comes from Dr. C, E. Saunders of
Brookings. After saying that it is a pleasure to renew his
subscription, the doctor writes, in part, as follows:
“While your paper is far from us yet we arc all in the
game boat, united we must stand if we expect to soe Cyrry
County share her just benefits in the future. The greatest
thing now is a Coast Road, awl I believe that an organiza
tion County wide, and perhaps taking in the Motor Cur
Owners, would tend to help us, and then whenever a Good
Roads meeting takes place lets have some good man on the
job, if necessary make an assessment to cover his expenses
thereto/'
Dr. Saunders, is one of the live wir.es of souther».Cur
ry- His suggestion about a oounty-wide good roads organ
ization is a good one, and now that summer is here there is
no reason why representatives of such an organization
could not meet occasionally at Gold Beach and work in a
common cause. Let us not forget, that, “in union there is the Subject in hand. I t waa due to
Strength.” Talk the matter up and start the ball rolling M r. B row n, to trails and every etbi-
