to bo thi? Coqulllo vlow In rognrd
to the chungo of plans In tlio routo
of tliu triinkllne, iionnlt uh to glvo
l tho Ten Mllers' vlow. According
to tho Coiinlllo vlow an unreconct
ahli! deadlock Is scheduled to appear
right away In tin- bonding ennipuign
that the Coqulllo people would rnth-
, or put off Indefinitely tho building
of a system of good roads than to
j take part, in any project In which
Coos Hay was to get tho main bono-
fit; that thoro Is n feeling among this
I Coiinlllo people that Coos Hay wants
j to hog It all; and other things for
which there there Is no spuco to inon-
Hon. Hut judging from the manner
. of Mr. Morrison and other gentlemen
present at tho meeting In North Ilond,
we do not hollove that this fully rop-
I resents the feeling of the Coiinlllo
' people.
I Whether or not the Coiinlllo peo
ple hlamo tho Coos Hay people for
any change of plans to which Doug
las county was a party. Investigation
will show that Coos Hay had no In
fluence with Douglas county In re
gard to any change of plans for btilld
Ing a trunk lino. Wo have It from
the Douglas county press that thoro
Is no choice In regard to tho matter,
It is either hulld down tho Umpiiua
or reckon with county division. As
for the fooling among Coiinlllo people-
that Coos Hay wants to hog It
nil, It may ho n strange coincidence,
hut this Is just the sentiment that wo
on tho oast aldo or tho Hay hold to
ward tho Coqulllo people. What nro
tho facts? To he caught with tho
goods on one's poraon Is evidence of
guilt. Let us take an Inventory of
tho roads in the two sections. A
plank road connecting tho two cities
and a few patches of roads within
the city limits is about nil that North
Bond or Marshfluld can hoast of In
tho way of roads. On tho oast sldo
of tho Hay, comprising one-tenth tho
population of Coos county, with re
sources valued Into tho millions and
doing nn annual hualness of $tiin,000
thoro Is not three miles of rond wor
thy of tho name In tho entire country.
Now how ahout the Coiinlllo country?
Hero wo find miles of flue graded
I roads with up to date machinery for
1 constructing tho same, (lentlonien,
can you givo facts and figures show

OUT STRONG
) CONTROVERSY
contrast tho deplorable condition of
"in luiuiiuii roans wiui your own i
lino Highways.
The Ten Mllers did nothing more
than any other wldo awake commun
ity would have done under thu snino
circumstances. When It wns propos
ed to build a trunk line across a
range of mountains, through n coun
try which cannot be developed and
practically impossible during the win
ter mouths, we located a water grade
route, through a country everv ncro
of which can he cultivated, and pas
sable the year around, and Incidental
ly can bo built for less than one-half
tho former route. And lu favor of tho
latter route we have tho assuranco
as far as such assurance can be giv
en, thnt Douglas cotintv will even
tually hulld down the Uinpqim nnd
connect with us at the countv line.
Iho entire plan cnlls for about slxtv
miles of road. If the countv Is bond
ed for $l lo,noo, this will give us, at
a rough estimate, about $7000 per
mile, and we base our claim to $.1u,
000 on tho fact that wo have ahout
twenty-one miles of trunk line on tho
east side of the Hay. What grievance
can tho Coiinlllo people hnvo against
this change of plan? our petition
calls for a road from the Currv countv
lino to Uandon and from ' Myrtlb
Point to North Bend. Tills gives tho
rnnchers of tho Coqulllo valiev ac
cess to tho markets of tho cities of
Coos llay, destined to become one of
the greatest and best markets on the
Pacific Const. Gentlemen, will voii
sacrifice all this? Is all tho energy
nnd Incidental expense expended by
tho Rood Roads Association lu month's
of hard, conscientious work to con
nect up Coos County with the out
side world to be wasted because un
foreseen conditions Intervened, which
made n change of pinna nccessarv and
In consequence of which the trunk
lino will enter the county In a sec
tion other than your own? Is n term
of Mr. Vanderbllt's. which has be
come proverbial "Tho public bo
il il!" tlio spirit lu which you
would deal with your neighbor? Con
trast tho spirit of the river people
with that of the merchants and mem
bers of the flood Roads Association
of North Bend and Mnrsnllcld. When
tho bond Issue first enmo up for con
sideration they know our country and
Its resources, they knew wo had a
just grlovanco In not being taken In
to consideration, nnd thnt n bond Is
suo under such circumstances would
arouso antagonism nnd opposition
nnd Jeopardise their own Interests,
but being pledged to a trunk lino
they circulated the petitions nnd wero
prepared to support the bond Issuo
when It camo to a vote. (Jontleiuon.
your talk ahout killing tho whole
project; of putting off Indefinitely
tho building of a system of good
roads, rather than tt take, part in
any project In which Coos Bay wns
to got tho main benefit Is futile nnd
childish and unworthy of considera
tion by peoplo of ninturo ago.
North Bend, Marshllold, and tho
wholo of this section Is gnlnlng rap
idly In population and wealth, and
tho advent of tho rnllroad will great
ly accolerato the pace. North Bond
Is to hulld her own section of road
and wo will patch up our cow trulls
and get along for tho present, in tho
nienntlmo perfecting our organization
which Is rather crudo nt Its host,
though It hns accomplished much in
n short tlmo, but gentlemen, you can
not prevent tho Inevitable. As sure
ns night follows day Coos county will
bo bonded, nnd the trunk lino will
ho built, nnd tho lino will follow the
routo outlined In our petitions, not
on account of any machination or
wlro pulling on tho pnrt of tlio Ten
Mllers, but becnuso nature has so de
creed. Douglas county will hulld
down tho I'mpiiun nnd connect with
us nt tho county lino hecnuso a large
fertile section of Douglas county do
mauds It and no section of Douglas
county hns tho Inclination or pow.or
to prevent It.
If the bond Issuo Is contested other
Issues will bo Involved, and othor
matters apart from tho bond Issue,
but wholly as Important, will ho In
jected Into tho controversy.

A Santa Paper Chase
WE were puzzled nbout the chil
dren's Christmas, for nil the
little nieces, nephews nnd
grandchildren wero coming
to the farm, us usual, says a writer lu
tho Country Gentleman. Year after
year wo had had the common Christ
mas tree presentation of gifts until
this method hud quite lost its flavor.
Resolved upon some substitute for It,
we chanced upon the excellent one of
a Santa Clans paper chase.
Early lu the afternoon nil the chil
dren were gathered together, and, much
to their bewilderment, each wns hand
ed an empty grain sack. They were
then told that Santa Glaus was un
usually wary that year and that not
ton minutes before he had been spied
out of doors disappearing with Ids
pack. He was dressed, us In other
years. In red with white trimmings and
seemed to ho dropping bits of red and
green paper behind lilin. Where ho
dropped both red and green nt the
same time there was surely n gift hid
den, and that place must not be passed
until the gift had been found and giv
en to the one whose name was upon It.
The children could scarcely wait to
bo bundled luo their outer garments
and set off after elusive Snnty In high
glee. It would bo useless to tell tho
many strange places to which they
were led by his paper trail and whero
gifts weru excavated. The hayloft, hol
low tree trunks, even tho mouth of a
inuskrat's hole, yielded strango packets.
At length all sacks wero well filled,
and Santa Clans was overtaken just
In time to prevent his concealment of
toothsome boxes of homemado toffee,
grandma's contribution. Dragging San
ta Chilis, who was none other than one
of tho uncles lu appropriate disguise,
Into their midst, the children bounded
lu, laughing and rosy cheeked, to Inves
tigate their prizes. Ah they wero do
ing this they kept bubbling with merri
ment over their highly successful San
ta Clans paper chase nnd exclaiming
that It had been "heaps nnd heaps and
heaps" more fun than an Indoor Christ
mas true.

Presents For the Boy
IINDING things for tho boy nt
Christmas time may seem more
illtlicult, although uo doubt ho
has Just us mauy wants as his
pretty sister. Silver knives with
good blades, substantial key
rings, pencils and fountain pent
always please. Certain things
lu the Jewelry lino appeal to tho
average boy u caso containing
cuff buttons nnd tie plu to match
or u good looking watch fob. An
Inspection of the leather shop
displays will soon couvluco tho
shopper that thero are dozens of
things a boy can use and enjoy.
Why not give him a leather case
containing a soft felt hat or a
pair of folding slippers? An
other case holds what Is called
the vacation outllt a Hat clothes
brush, two coat and trousers
hangers and n folding shoo born.
Leather stickpin cases and col
hir boxes aro also acceptable
The fastidious boy will net
scorn monogrammed handker
chiefs, silk socks ami attractive
ties. The boy who has arrived
at the age and stugo of caring
about his room will want college
.pillows, pennants, etc. If ono
wishes to Invest more money In
the hoy's Christmas, thero are
automobile hampers and extra
equipments, cameras, hunting
and fishing outfits, Ueldglasses.
etc. Every boy wants skates,
fur lined gloves and inufllers.
For the book lover there Is al
ways a goodly store of books, or
ono may have a characteristic
bookplitto designed.
A Gift Suggestion.
An Ideal gift for the bachelor Is the
"bandy" Iwx. containing tags, rubber
bauds, labels, thumb tacks, twlneIn
fact, almost any article ono might need
In dispatching a package or for tlio
hundred and one other conveniences to
which theso needful articles may bo
put. Ono bachelor says ho derived
moro plensuro from one of these boxes
which was given to him than from al
most any other gift ho could mention.
Tho boxes come In vurlous sizes, tho
number of useful articles contained
vnrylng with the sizo of the box. A
gift of this character Is well worth
considering whero a personal gift Is
not desirable.

Drowning of Four From Pres
ident Off Oreqon Is In
vestigated at Golden Gate
An Investigation Into the drown
ing of Clarence Lenthnm, a passen
ger aboard the steamer President,
w ho was swept overboard during
storm while the vessel wns orf the
Oregon const last week, and tho loss
of Fourth Officer .1. Shane. Quarter
master O. .lurlshock nnd Seaman 1L
Hansen, when tho latter attempted
a rescue In a small boat, dcvelones
a number of facts.
nmho ('i!.lpr om-Vvns that Fourth
Officer Shane, while showing rnr
heroism, was a victim of his own
Judgment lu Inunchlng tho boat on
the windward sldo of the vessel,
against which huge wnves woro
breaking. Another was thnt a sec
ond boat was launched and tnado a
close search for the missing men at
great risk. The Investigation wn
held In San Francisco after thu
steamer's arrival, and reports of
tho testimony have been received
here. Cnptaln Paulsen's story fol
lows: , Captain PhiiIm-ii'h Evidence.
" hen I went on deck Immediat
ely after tho fourth officer report
ed a man overboard I found that
ho had signaled to stop the engines
nnd had thrown u llfo belt to the
pnssengor In tho water. I at once
gavo a genoral alarm, ordered the
ship backed full speed and ordered
tho chief officer to stand by the
bonis with crew ready to lower.
"Tho fourth officer nnd five men
lowered the emergency boat and
while so doing tho boat was smash
ed against the side by a hoavy soa.
Three of the men caught hold of
the tackle and were hauled on board
and tho other threo fell in tho water.
Inimedlntoly efforts wero made to
rescue nil the men. Tho sea was
running high and It would liavo
boon folly to launch the boat until
thu ship could be swung and a lee
made. As soon nit this could bo
done llfcbont No. I was lowered
with flvo men. hut after searching
for nearly half an hour It came
bnck without finding nny traco of
the lost men. Tho sen was so rough
that the boat's crew had to bo
hauled aboard and tho bont aban
doned. The steamer cruised about
until fl:L0 o'clock nnd then pro
ceeded on her course"
Tells of Excltincnt.
"The passengers acted like a lot
of maniacs," declared First Officer
Henry W. Ravens, "wo might hav
done moro if It had not beon ror
their Interference. I gavo no ardors
to tho fourth officer to lower tho
emergency bont and tho cnptaln or
dered a wait until the ship had
formed n Ice.
After tho testimony Is transcribed:
tho Inspectors will dotermlno wheth
er or not to bring the ship's offi
cers to trial. Tho President waa
hold until the two lost boats were
replaced and until Assistant Inspec
tor Brown had tested tho lifeboat
equipment. Ho reported to Inspect
or Gutlirlo Hint aner Having nnu
sovernl bonts lowered to tho water
ho had found everything In good or
der. Tho stories of other pnsscngora
who were oyo witnesses to tho fatal
attempt of tho rcseuo crow to save
Lent ham woro roinion yesiorcuy
mornluir. Thoiich some of tho pas
sengers who snw tho would-bo res
cuo boat crushed ngalnst tho aide
of the big stenmer dlfforcd on
some points, most of them prabjod
the captain or tno snip.
Accordlnir to F. Williams, a Chi
cago contractor, thoro wero not
moro thnn fifteen pnssotiKCrs who
actually witnessed tho thrilling at
tempt nt rescue.
Danger WlilMlo Blows.
"I hud JuBt gono below from
tho hurricane deck, when I heard
tho dnngor whistle blow," aald Wil
liams. "I rushed up to tho smoK-
Imr rnnm nml thorn fOUIItl a nUHl-
bor of stokers and others of th
crow. When they rounu oui wnai
tho real trouhlo was they all return

Unit a rescue boat could stand In
Biich n son, hut thero waa In my
mind but ono tiling to uo, anu ma
wns to lowor tho boat. The man
overboard was crying frantically for
help, nnd. nlthough I nm sure thero
woro lifelines thrown to him, na
fnlled to get one.
"Tho men who went to their
deaths In tho rescue bont knew
thorn wns great dungor and too
much pralso cannot ho given them.
They were ready nt tho moment tn
