One of tho best indications of tho well-nigh miraculous growth which Marshfleld is experiencing is a glance at tho postal receipts of tho local office. In 1S9S, when W. B. Curtis, tho present postmaster, took charge the receipts for that fiscal year were $3,348.40. Nino years later for .the fiscal year of 1907 tho postal re ceipts were $S,103.75, an increase of $4,755.35, or over double of what it was when Mr. Curtis took charge. When Mr, Curtis took charge of the post offlco tho salary attached was $1,400, which was later -ralFcd to $1,S00. He has now received no tice of another raise of $200 in sal ary, which will take effect with the beginning of the fiscal year in July. This will place Mr. Curtis' salary at $2,000. ALLIANCE COMES IN Tho steamer Alliance arrived from Portland yesterday with a cargo of 400 tons of general freight. A fine trip down is reported. A delay of a day in Portland was caused by the high water, which has gone down sufficiently now not to cause any trouble on the arrival of the boat on the return trip. All freight on the lower docks at Portland had to be removed to the high ones on account of tho water covering the former. SOME REMINDERS ABOUT COOS BAY. u .
