Under a Portland postmark The Times yesterday received through the mnlls a red card bearing these words on the title page: "Myrtle Point, Ore., the slowest town on tho map." Whether it Is a knock or a boost Is left for the reader to judge. Hero is the card: "Myrtle Point peoplo have long been dubbed 'tho slow peoplo of tho world.' The only energy shown Is on the part of a few who take their lunches with them when they leave their homes to spend a day at tho ho'.ol playing whist for matches. Tho same four are generally found seated In the same seats, while a few har pies look on. Never a word Is spoken from the time a game starts until It Is ended late In tho afternoon, and many times not even then. By an uncalled-for burst of energy, tho card games are no more. During a gamo recently Rose said; 'Southmayd, I heard a coyote bark this morning.' "Nothing, was said until lato In the afternoon of tho following day when Southmayd said: 'Enls, there ain't no coyotes round hero. "Next dav at the rogular t,lmo of the arrival of the four most enter prising men of tho town, threo of the players wore vory much surprised to find Enls leaving tho placo with his private deok of cards, and Charlie said: 'Enls, whore aro you going?'
