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.

Coffee 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.

I ' 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.

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.

" 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.
