T O O l 'H PATIKOXM.
It has been our iuteution from
the inception of the H erald to
get along without asking our pat
rons for a single cent of money for
at least a long time, and to this
end have worked late and early,
and made what we could out of
agencies and anything else we
could find to do. To show m
you
that we have used a great deal of
economy, wo will state that we
have got along so far with tho aid
of about $500 paid on subscription
and not to exceed double that
amount on advertising. The first
year our subscription was about
four hundred names and the year
now near its close the list has been
About six hundred, the average for
the two years being al>out 500, and
equal to about $2000. Of this
amount there are about $1500, ami
upwards of that amount, due on
advertising. Failing to find mon
ey to hire, we are reluctantly
forced to call on those who owe us.
Yen may think the amount is
small, but in the aggregate it is
enough to put ns in good shape.
TV e owe some, and it must be paid.
By paying up you will increase the
merit of your paper, as it will en
able ns to devote our whole time to
it, and allow us to enlarge it,
which it is our intention to do as
soon as possible. W e also con
template a reduction in price ns
soon as the patronage will warrant
it Please assist us and we will repay
you by giving you the benefit of
our increased patronage. .Re
member this, please.

TV. A. Bantz, chief mustering
officer of the department of Oregon,
on last Friday evening installed
at this place, Gen. Lytle Post, \ o .
26, department of Oregon, Grand
Army of the Republic. The atten
tion of all union veterans on the
river is called to the existence of
this post, a subordinate branch of
a great national organization, whose
departments are in every loyal
state of the Union, and whose in
fluence permeates every communi
ty. . All honorably discharged
soldiers who served at any time
during the war, in either the army,
navy or marine corps, are eligible
to membership, and are earnestly
requested to join in the good work
of this noble order.
That its ob
jects are being more thoroughly
understood throughout the north
west is evidenced by its wonderful
increase, in membership— more
than six hundred per cent in Da
kota territory alone during the
past year. There are now’ nearly
three-quarters of a million old vet
eran« enrolled in the different de
partments thrSqghont the Union,
and the time
far distant
when every veteran will be muster
ed under its protecting banner.
The objects of the organization are
noble and worthy.
It will bind
its members together in fraternal
union, and contribute to their
happiness and social injoyment,
and will render substantial aid to
all poor, crippled or diseased com
rades, and care for their destitute
widows and orphaus. It will keep
from a pauper’s home every man
who w’ears its badge, and will in
sure decent burial and an honored
grave to every comrade who falls by
ih i .ay. It will (stand by a member
without regard to his religion, na-
i ionality or party ,and promote,by the
exemplification of its three cardinal
principles, fraternity, charity and
loyalty, the interests of the mem
bers, and of the country.
There
should be a post established in
every town in the country, where
there are enough meinliers to main
tain one, and every veteran should
be personally interested in the in
stitution and the maintainance of
a post

Adjutant. Post Commander.

F lying Correspondent*. *
Ed. H e r a l d : —Since we last lie-
held your manly stature of 205 Ills
avoirdupois, we have l>een consid
erably on the wing. In company
with your townsman, V. N. Perry, to
whom we are greatly indebted for
kindness and favors shown and to
whom we return our sincere thanks,
we visited Marshfield, which seems
to lie quite a thriving little burg.
The G. A. R. were out iu full uni
form paradiug the streets, which
added quite an attractive feature
to the town. There must be about
500 men employed at this piout in
coal mines, ship yards and lumber
ing business. After taking iu the
sights, we boarded the great and
glorious steamship Myrtle, which
was waiting at the wharf tossing
to and fio like a cork on the bosom
of the briny deep. After a rather
pleasant ride, we soon arrived at
Empire City, where we found every
thing in peace and quietude. Per
taking of a hearty repast at the
Jacksou/hotel, we, ns a precaution
ary measure against indigestion, in
company with Mr. P. perambulated
the streets and visited the lookout
which is situated ou a high bluff
that overlooks the briny deep and
stands like u king on his throne
domineering over the little city at
its feet
After feasting oar eyes
ou the beauties not made by hands
but eternal
in the heavens,
we returned to the city, hid our
friend a farewell adieu and retired
for the night—not exactly for the
night either, for at two o’clock A.
M. we were aroused from our
peaceful slumbers and dreams of
the loved ones at home by the
familiar old racket “stage,” how
ever, we liad^one of the most pleas
ant drives up the beach that we
ever partiepated in. On arriving
at the mouth of the Umpqua river
we were once more compelled
to take water (which is something
we are not in the habit of doing)
and arrived at Gardiner at nine
o’clock a . M. for breakfast
After
breakfast we returned to the steam
er bound for Scottsburg, at which
I>oint we arrived at three thirty P. M.
where we remained over night
with mine host at the Scottsburg
hotel, who feeds the hungry with
the best that the market affords.
At five o’clock a . m . we were again
aroused by the melodious voice of
someone calling, stage!
After
jmrtnking of a hearty breakfast We
loaded ourselves in the stage and
was once more on our way rejoic
ing and singing praise to------. We
arrived at Drains Station in time
to take the south bound train and
went up to the mineral springs
where we were well cared for for
the night Next morning at seven
thirty we boarded the north bound
train and can e as f»;r as Harrisburg,
where we remained for a couple of
days and then came to Brownos-
ville. This is a flourishing burg,
has quite a number of permanent
business houses, including hotels,
merchandise stores etc., etc. One
its principal attractions is tho
Brownsville woollen mills which
are not excelled in the state, and
are now running both day and
night to meet the demands of their
goods.
We have not time nor
space to discribe all the advantages
this place affords, but will add that
it is favored with one of the best
Mater |>owers for mills etc. that it
has ever been our privilege to see.
For tho present—good morning!

Supervisor Buck has his part
of the road from Myrtle Point
to this place in splendid repair,
as has Mr. Schroeder in the dis
trict above. The most fault found
with the road now, is where it
passes around ranches and farms.
This should not be so, for where
a rood is changed to suit the con
venience of an individual, he ought
to show his appreciation of it by
making the road about his premises
as good as it m bs on the old route.
It has occurred that a log has lain
for months across a county trail
directly in front of a farmer’s
house in this county. Such shift
lessness as this accounts for some
of the hard times we complain of.
Work the roads; they are the mak
ing of the country.

Our Rent Lands.
It is a singular fact, but true,
that three fourths of the land of
this valley that was considered
M’orthless tM’elve years ago, is, to
day, the best and most productive
land we have in this part of Ore
gon. This land which we have
reference to, is what is known as
marsh land. Where water stood
the year round ten years ago, good
crops of some varieties of produce
can be raised now. Much valua
ble land can nou be found in this
county that the old inhabitants
remember as “ tide flats;” land
conqjosed of the lightest and finest
sediment to be found and which
For producing qualities is une-
qualed by any other. The boaver
dam laud is also unexcelled, nnd
that comprises most of that known
as marsh land. By the accumula
tion of sediment, and an ‘ upraising
of the ground or a receding of tho
M*ater, every foot of land in the
Coquille river bottom will soon be
susceptible of cultivation. When
this shall have come alx>ut, this
will be one of the greatest produc
ing sections in the west, con
sidering the extent of the val
ley—and the extent is grenter than
many imagine.
Harry Hunt while out to his
ranch on East fork the other day
heard what he thought was a
young bear but oil examination he
found it to be a young cougar,
which he proceeded to carry home.
He had not gone far when he hoard
a terrible growl, and looking
around he beheld a huge cougar,
with open mouth, in three or four
feet of him. He dropped the
kitten, and took leg bail. His
partner had the key to the cabin
and says he found Harry wedged
in a crack like a chincii bug. The
last seen of the cougar it had the
kitten in its mouth getting away
lively. Under such circumstances
Harry says it is always best to
drop the cub.

gress to appropriate $588,000 for
