FOR SEME
George Baines Claims Carriers
Are Much Maligned and
Roads Are Awful.
Declaring tho mall carriers to bo
greatly wronged In tho recont com
munication published In thla paper
regarding tho poor service, George
A. Baines has returned to this city
after a trip to 'Frisco saying that tho
roads between Dora und Ro3obur;j
wore never In as bad a condition as
they aro this winter.
"Nobody knows what tho carrlors
have to contond with unless they
mako a trip ovor this route," said
Mr. Baines, last evening. "During
tho heavy rains recently there wero
landslides covering tho roads which
would tako two and three weeks to
cut through, at points about 32 to 3.'
miles this side of Roseburg.
"I know for a fact that tho car
riers havo worked steadily for 24
hours without sleep or rest In carry
ing tho mall between Dora and Rose
burg. During tho landslides, when
large hills would send hundreds of
tons of earth across the roadway,
which had a ravlno on one sldo and
a perpendicular hill on the other,
the mall was packed on horses over
these Intervening spots at the rl3k
of Mm carriers lives and those of
the horses.
"One horso had a number of mail
sacks and my suit case on his back,
but the Bide of tho hill was so steep
and slippery that he stumbled and ,
fell fifty oj sixty feet down the ra
vine. Tho mail and 3uItcaso wero
recovered and tho horso was not
badly hurt. Tho heavy loads of mall
would bo transferred from ono point
to another in this manner.
"In many places tho roadway was
deoply covered with water, and there
was no possible way of getting the
mall over without ruining It until the I
freshets subsided. For long dist-j
ances tho water was up to tho bottom
of the stage and in several cases
pack horses could not cross those
places, without being drowned and
having tho mail destroyed.
"This, of course happened around
Christmas and New Year's, when the
rains wero so heavy, but It gives you
an Idea of what has to be contended
with every time it rains for a fow
days at a stretch. When hundrsdi
of sacks of mail are held for a few
days because it is utterly impossible
to move them on account of tho
roads, tho mail from tho Roseburg
ond and from Marshfield keeps piling
up and adding to the confusion.
"Only a certain amount of It can
bo moved at a time over such roads
and it is a frightful job for tho
carriers to catch up after the delay
and keep the mall running -regularly
The roads are certainly the cause of
the delay and no matter how many
hor3e3 or men were used, It would
not Improve matters to any extent.
"As fnr as tho hiring of good men
is concerned, nobody could try to do
more than the men running the mall
through between Doraand Roseburg.
They tako an active interest in hav
ing the mall on time and do every
thing in their power to manage it.
Tho mon at this end of tho lino ap
pear to be good men, although they
have no such roads to contend with
as th0 other half of tho road.
"The horses are somewhat scrawny
but these are the only kind of horses
which could stand such work. Horses
which could pull a flat car on a good
road, would drop from exhaustion
by carrying their own weight through
a section like that between Dora and
Roseburg. I believe that tho mall
iicn aro doing all in their power 10
provide a good service, but it is the
condition of tho road which is re
tmnslble. I havo been over the
road nearly every winter and v can
say that It never compared with the
condition it is In at present."'
Mr. naines left for San Francicco
'i the Saturday boforo Christmus
v way "of Sumnor and Roseburg. He
rived t the latter place on the
following Friday, being over a week
- ttln to Sun Francisco where ho
has been visiting friends for seoril
i 'To returned to the city yss
terdny and states that ho managed to
have turkey and a good time Chrht
i ias day at one of the stations on the
road between Dora and Roseburg,
wherf the water had suspended all
traffic.

"LIVING SXIOLETON" IS DEAD
Weighed 80 Pounds Was 0 Feet
And 1 Inch Tall.
PROVIDENCE, R. I., Ji-n. 11.
Charles H. Perry, who traveled with
several of tho larger circuses for 1G
ypars, figuring as "the living skele
ton," was found dead recently from
natural causes In a lonoly hut In tho
outskirts of this city, where ho had
lately led a hermit's life.
Perry wa3 known to tho public as
Eugene Feralto. Although he was
six feet ono inch In height he
weighed only 80 pounds. Kis widow,
a son and daughter live In New York.
Coos county as a market section
for the wholesale houses of Portland
and San Francisco is being recogniz
ed since tho flr3t of tho year more
than ever before. Numerous firms
from both theso cities have many rep
resentatives in tho field for trade,
and every boat brings more traveling
men who are competing for business.
Each of the two boats from Port
land brings from two to five travel
ing men from that city and Seattle,
who are anxious to swing tho trado
of Coos county in their direction.
Every boat from San Francisco brings
another batch of drummers who are
striving to swing the trade to San
Francisco. Tho efforts of both cities
are being watched with considerable
Interest by local merchants, and tho
competition 13 certainly not hurting
the county merchants because It en
ables them to secure their stocks at
a lower rate than If only one city
were looking after tho trade.
Coos Bay Brick Firms Makes
Hundred Thousand at a
Burning.
Brickmaklng as an established In
dustry In Coos county has been made
successful by E. L. Dexter, who has
just finished burning a kiln of 1000,-
000 building brick. Mr. Dexter is
manaeer of the Coos Bay Brick and
Stone company, located on Jessie
Smith's property on tho south lorK
of tho Coos River.
Ho came hero last summer from
East Washington and formed a com-
nnnv with Mr. Smith and other peo
ple to manufacture brick. Machine
ry was ordered but It did not ar
rive until tho rainy season had sM.
In, and this delayed jitters consid
erably. Tho machinery compose-!
partly of wlro cut and dry-pressed
brick machines, arrived last October
and tho work of making the brick
commenced with Mr. Dextor :n
clinreo of the nlant.
Samples of the brick were brought
to tho chamber of commerce this
morning and nro on exhibition there
They havo aroused much onV.islnsm
and admiration from contractors' who
havo seen them The bri.'-t Is ap
parently perfec for butldln? p.r
poses and for 'rout brick. Theri iJ
also an excellon' sample of dry-piu3s.
ed brick, and th samples whu'h were
taken from tho body of tho kiln, are
as fine as hiwe been seen here.
Mr. Dext?r s'ates that tho i mm
has a capacity of 30,000 brU: a day
and that there Is material enougf. to
last indefinitely where the plaut Is
located.

It is against tho law to kill then,
Result Is that thoy havo became ns
tame as chickens and tho wharvot
aro covered with them most of the
time. Whon it is taken into consid
eration that duck shooting on tlm
bay Is prevalent all ovor the places
where the gulls fly, the laws agalnt
shooting the birds aro pretty well
kept, otherwise tho gulls would be
quite wild.

scml-dellrious. His condition is very
serious. Bandon Recorder.

Beef, especially, Is scarce some days
'and on other occasions thero Is

butchers aro kept quite busy round

We Hope So. Railroad develop
ment in the state of Oregon for tho
past few year3 has been so uncertain
that It might not be proper to an
ticipate too much from the Harri
man system, although there1 is ex
cellent reason for belief that tho
close of 190S will seo both tho Till
amook and the Coos Bay Hue well
along toward completion, with at
least a beginning mado In centril
Oregon. Oregonian.
Charges No Theft. Joseph Endl
cott, who a fow days ago told a rep
resentative of this paper a few things
about his brother, Moses Endicott,
losing logs of the "K" brand, slated

their loss, and that while ho traced
somo of tho "K" brand to the by

will make no charges concerning

than ono "K" brand In tho county.

gasoline on tho bay during tho past
month will bo relieved considerably
by tho arrival of tho cargo, ns very
llttlo was left to supply the river
boats with propelling power.
Seek Information nt Portland. A
number of newcomers to C003 Bny
stato that It would bo a great con
venience to havo booklets pertain
ing to this district distributed at
some point in Portland, where new
