MYRTLE POINT IS TIIEKE.
A
FUNNY story was once told at
tho expense of Myrtle Point
by Boino ovorly witty travel
ing snlcBmon. Ho said ho went to
that protty llttlo city near tho cen
ter of Coos county and stopped at
tho hotel. Ho found no ono In and
n call at several store resulted In
tho samo lack of mooting anyone. Ho
finally, nftcr failing to find n man In
any of tho business houses, saw an old
citizen standing on tho curb stnnc.
Ho addressed the mnn and nsloil
whoro ovoryono was hiding. Tho
traveling man said that ho received
no response nnd walked around tho
old cltbon Hovcrnl times nnd then
put his hand on tho old man's shoul
der and found tbnt this, tho only
mnn ho had found In Myrtlo Point,
wns stnndlng up dead on tho Btrcot.
Now that Is a somowhnt long story as
told by tho traveling man and It mny

is that Myrtlo Point promises to bo

A FEW QUESTIONS FOR IIAWLEY.
Editor Times:
And so W. C. Hawloy explained
tho now homestead law which ho
"caused to bo passed," did he?
What! W. C. Hawloy cause tho new
homestead lnw to bo passed? Oh,
rats! Hawloy Is not content with ap
propriating to hlniBclf all tho thun
der of tho whole Oregon delegation,
but must needs now purloin tho lnu
rols of tho Hon. W. E. Borah of
'Idaho.
Ono flno dny, so tho story goes, a
Jackdaw piped oft a peacock In full
plume disporting himself In the
noonday sun. Tho daw was nt onco
overcome with Jealousy, wheroupon
ho bedecked his tnll with feathers of
all sorts and strutted up nnd down,
to tho grent nniusoment of tho deni
zens of tho barnyard. Even so Mr.
Hawloy Is strutting up and down tho
stnto bedecked In plumage purloined
from every nvnllablo source, claim
