LKSSOX IX EXPEIUEXCE
Editor Coos' Hay Tlnics, Marsh
field, Oregon. Will you kindly nub-
llsh tho following:
1 note a statement in your pa
per of December' 24th, in reference
to a certain rating book Issued by
tho Merchants Mercantile Agency
of Portland, subscribed by tho Mer
chants of Marshflold nnd other
neighboring towns. Tho nrtlclo was
entitled "Arc Thoy Stung?" I, ns
ono of tho subscribers, wish to tnko
oxcoptlon to tho statements there
in, ns I do not consider that wo
havo been stung, but on tho othor
baud wo nro being educated; wo
aro now receiving our education.
I, like tho othor business men, I
have nlways urged tho pooplo to
patronlzo homo Industry. Wo fail
ed to patronize homo Industry, and
must now pay tho penalty. It Is
a lesson to Us all.
When I received notlco from the
collection agency of Portland, I con
sulted my attorneys, who advised
mo to pay tho $28. I was ndvlsod
that If I mado a bad bargain with
my eyes open tho courts could not
relievo mo; that It wns Important
that I should read tho contract I
sign, that when I fnll to read a
contract when I sign It or If I am
unnblo to understand its terms, I
cannot coino Into court and com
plain and If I do not fully under
stand tho English Inngungo the
Courts cannot help me.
I mil nfrnld that If I do not pay
them tho $28, In nddltlou to tho
$20 I horotoforo havo patci them,
they will rnto mo bnd pay Just as
wo business men havo been rating
some of tho Coos Day people. My
attorney tells mo that If this mat
tor gets Into court I will suro Iobo
my caso. I mny send off to somo
othor town and hlro a cheap lawyer
vho says ho can win my caso, but
in so doing I nm afraid I will bo
stung worso than over. Ho may
charge me only $8.00 to fight the
case, and snvo mo $20, but if ho
loses tho caso which seems qulto
sure, I must pny ninny times this
amount In costs.

Courier stales that tho rajlroad

"Tho conditions which tho board
of engineers havo llnposod for tho

rectly in lino with tho representa
tions that havo been mado to them

nt Crcscont City, nnd in tho argu
ments presented by tho representa
tives of tho city nt nil times, thu
willingness of tho people of Dol
Norto County to nld In tho starting
of tho work has been Btnted. It is
proposed to bond tho county under
tho provisions of a law passed by
tho last California Legislature to
rnlso tho fund, and In a statement
Just Issued at Crescent City tho
plodgo is renewed. In fact, the
pcoplo of Dol Xorto havo guaran
teed $250,000 toward tho ontlro
project, estimated to cost In Its en
tirety nbout $2,000,000. It Is ox
puctod thnt tho bonding of tho coun
ty for this amount will proceod nt

"Tho value of tho harbor natur
ally depends upon tho completion of
tho rnllroad from this city to tho

representing tho gront redwood In
