"JOE" MASTERED
THE HORSE BUT
Editor Coos Bay Times:
It seems to mo that you accept oc
casionally a short sketch of olden
times here over from Curry county.
One of the Weekly brothers from the
Eastfork had brought in here a lot
of bunchgrass horses, a parharo was
engaged to brake them for the sad
dle. To me, who has seen much of
this work and done a little myself,
the whole proceeding looked rather
stale. However, it made me think
of an incident worthy to give some
more notice of.
Peter Ruffner, who 49 or GO years
ago kept the hotel In Port Orford,
had a young horse between five and
six years old; no one ever was able
to ride it, so Peter had a standing

Contract had been let for three houses and the Marshf ield Land Company had let the contract for
a walk and car track to run from the deep water on Isthmus Inlet to the east street of Bay Park
Can you name another property that has accomplished that much the first week, now instead of
three houses we have six that are to be erected as quickly as possible that is at the end of our
second week.
Everyone is Delighted with the Property
Call and let us show you the lots on which to build your home.

SUMMARY OF SCHOOLS
IN COOS COUNTY
DISTRICT 33.
Tho, register shows .an enrollment
for the year In this school to bo
thirty-six, while the attendance dur
ing the first week of the present term
was only fifteen. It Is likely that
this will be Increased to twenty by
the end of the first month. The
house Is one of the neatest in the
county, with furniture and appar-
offer of paying twenty dollars to the
one who could ride the horse for Hf
teen minutes.
It was a fine piece of a beast, jet
black, with large nostrils, long and
curved neck, heavy mane and tall,
and so as the light fell upon its hido
the black would give a steel blue or
nearly white color.
One morning it was taken down to
the beach near Battle Rock for tho
purpose of having some of the best
riders try It to earn tho premium.
However tho horse floored one after
the other. During tho progress an
old gereser, Mexican Joe, had come
up to see the performance. He was
old greaser, Mexican Joe, had come
word, with rawhide moccasslns
fastened with strings to his feet,
buckskin pantaloons with knees
sticking way out, an old shirt and a
hat without a narrow brim which
long black hair stuck out. The last
rider gave up when he was asked
whether ho would ride the horse, to,
which he answered: "SI Senior."
a greaser in the full sense of the
with the lariette he formed a huckle
mole and before the horse knew what
was to come he leaped upon It. A
shiver of excitement crept over the
animal. One jump and it had found
its master. Slowly It walkd down
the beach, and then came back.
He was requested to trot and then
get full speed out of it.
Pulling off the saddle and bridle,
faster. All thought the horse had
gone beyond the control of Joe.
There whore the hill came down to
the beach, then overgrown- with the
densest of forests, horse and rider
disappeared in the darkness of the
backwoods.
First thing Peter and his friends
found that Joe had vamoosed never
to come back. Only for a short dis
tance the tracks of the horse could !
lie followed. Joe made his escape
never to return for the reward.

books are not yet Installed In the
school but doubtless will be ver
soon. Miss Ulysete Coleman Is the
teacher for the summer.
DISTRICT 18.
This school Is under the instruc
tion of Miss Cora Widby, ' whose
teaching experience began with the
present term. Since the enumeration
of those of school age Is very small
tho school .Is likewise among the
have been enrolled, while ten are in
attendance this summer.
The house Is new and comfortable
and the furniture and apparatus well
adequate to present needs. The
grounds, however, are rather steep
for playgrounds.
DISTRICT 37.
In this school were found sl3teen
pupils busily at work. Since this u
Ue largest enrollment for the yeir
It presents a notlcable contrast io
many of the schools of the county.
Thisl ittlo box school house is nestled
In a lovely spot on the Middle Fork
of the Coquille, just where It sweeps
past the point of Sugarloaf moun
tain. No quieter location could pro
bably be found. Conditions are very
favorabble to successful work except
ing in a shortage of blackboards.
The county superintendent refers to
the fact that his teaching experience
began in this district with an average
this school. About seven outside
attendance of five and at a salary of
$28.33 per month, boarding him
self. The friends of education of
those days never thought to call the
"referendum" to more nearly equal
ize his Income and expense.
Miss Florence McCrackken is the
present teacher.
DISTRICT 7.
This Is one of the districts de
signed in recent years to accommo
date people for many miles rather
remote from schools, andwho are
located in the growing settlement of
Brodge. Twenty-three pupils 'are '
enrolled this year and term, but the ,
prevailing tendency to drop out
toward the close of the term, which
is so charactrlstlc of too many
schools in tl(e rural districts, is In

tions within it are noticable, but they
lack completing. The grounds are
excellent, both as to improvement
and lay. '
