"What do you hear about the battler was the next question. "I don't hear," was ths answer. "I thought you knew something; about polities, anyway." - "Not a. thing," said Jr. correy. -men a slow look of determination came over his genial face. "I am out of politlos," he said, v "I have been out slnoe Mar S. I have said it and now I want to prove it" . - 1 - - - . . Coffer lead ths questioner to the. rear of his place of business and stood him opt, in front of a big placard tacked on the wall i On the placard waa a list of date beginning with May 5 and ending wltb June. ; At the head of the list, printed in red ink, was the sentence! "I have taken solemn affirmation that I am out of politics." Following the dates beginning with May a and up to and Including May 11 was ths signature "John fi. Coffey." , "Every day," said Mr. Coffey, "I sign that card. Every day I am out of poll tics and every day I am able to prove it over my signature. 1 I hope," he con cluded, "every man who sees this will believe what J say all the time. I hope you are convinced." Then ths ex-candl-dats talked about bis business and the beautiful weather, but not f ths elec tion. unless unforeseen engineering or financial difficulties arias, Roseburg and the Coos bay region will have an elee trie standard-gauge railway opening up .ma nig country tributary to those busi ness centers, and a new outlet will be supplied from the Interior to the coast. It Is regarded as a certainty that such a line, If built with due cars for low gradients " and ' moderate ' curvature would ultimately become a part of a transcontinental line : terminating at Coos bay. - "This asaumptlon is based on nearly very reasonable consideration In rail- road Duuaing.

OIL DROPS WILL SOOII LAY DUST . ;:; : ' .'J '.'ii. ('.. .1 ,.,.. Citizens Will Buy Sprinklers Themselves if Council Does Not Act Quickly. 4 'Mayor lane bas heartily expressed himself . in favor of the purchase by ths city of an oil sprinkler to bs used in oiling the boulevards and avenues Ths - ways . and means . committe through ths efforts of George ;amford, has recommended that tbs council ap propriate $500 at ones for the purchase ot tbo apnaitisr. t- niiuzj , "Why, Mr. Bamford, you bavs done mors in two weeks than I bavs been able to do In two' years," raid the mayor yesterday. "X bavs pleaded and begged the council In my, messages tlms after time to bur. half a dosea .. Of tbese sprinklers, and they nover would do it It is ridiculous and foolish that this city . should be so far behind other oities in this matter of good thorough fares." - ' - - On account rf a short session today the council will not likely get to the oil sprinkler. Mr. Bamford and C. Ton seth hare been the prime movers In the effort to secure a sprinkler, and they wish to rent It from ths city at ones to oil the Base Line road. The funds have all been subscribed by property owners alonff the road and . by ths automobile dub, and everything is in readiness to prepare ths read end oil it at once. , . Ths Base Line road sustains . more traffic than any ether road leading out of the city, and the dust in summer Is something unbearable, especially since It bas been used largely by autoiata, Mr. Bamford and Mr. Tonseth bavs re solved to buy the machine themselves if the1 city or county will not help them, as they are desperate and say they can not stand another dusty ; summer like that of last season. ' I Judge Webster was much in favor of ths project also, and commsnded Mr. Bamford ' for his efforts In ths sams manner as did ths mayor. - Dr Lane said that J r. Bamford was the most valuable ettlsen that he had met in a long time. He said that mora such men were seeded to make ths city aware of the advantage of better streets.- The Mount Tabor Improvement association also indorsed the effort last Monday evening and promised their sincere co operation. . ACCEPT BIOS Oil H STREETS Executive Board - Recommends . Awarding Many Contracts to Improve Thoroughfares. At a meeting of the executive board of ths street committee yesterday aft ernoon recommendations were made to ths city counoir for awarding contrasts for street improvements in excess of 187,000. In every cass where such was done the contractor's tender exceeded the city engineer's estimate. In a num ber of Instances the bids were -more than 10 per oflt greater than the en glneerg estimate, and all such bids were rejected and will- be readvertlaed for. Bids received for the Improvement of .East Morrison street and Olisan street between Park and Twenty-first remained untouched, due to a comma nlcation presented by Attorneys Beaob and Simon In behalf of the Warrea Con struction company, threatening to hold the city responsible for. infringements upon their patents relative to paving material' and ths manner of laying it It wag explained that such action was taken to prevent rival construction companies f. om duplicating - their wrrk in the city. . It IS likely that the matter will be taken i to the courts to deter mine the city's position In the contro versy that has arisen.
