Say a lteubeu Knott onto hia fair,
In language burning hot:
“ Matilda, do you lore me dear?”
Says she: “ I love you, Knott.”
“ Oh, say not so!” again he cried:
“ Oh, share with me ray lot!
Oh, say that you will be my bride!”
She says: “ I’ ll wed you, Knott.”
Oh, cruel fair, to serve me so!
I h>ve you well, you wot!”
“ I could not wed yon, lteub, says she,
“ For tli3n I should be Knott.”
A light broke in on Reuben's mind
As in his arras she got;
She looks demurely in his face
And says: “ Pray kiss me, Knott!”

are excellent glazing lands for tens
of thousands of sheep and cattle.
Our trade has much increased, al­
though the fiscal year ending June
30, 1885 showed a decrease in our
lumber shipments—owing to tbs
very low price of lumber—yet there
were shipped through the mouth
of the Coquille for that year 4,550,-
000 feet of lumber, and besides
this there were locally consumed
about 2,000,000 feet in addition,
mainly to meet the requirements of
the numerous immigrants who have
settled here of lata. There were
also shipped 450 tons of canned
and barreled salmon, butter, w»x)l
and beef. Our imports consisted
of 1248 tons of the ordinary re­
quirements of a civilized commun­
ity. Before the first pile was driv­
en in our jetty, our exports and im­
ports of merchandise to and from
¡San Francisco, came and went via
Coos bay, through a very rough
country, and through almost im­
passable sloughs, at a cost varying
upwards from $13.50 per ton. Now
we can export aud import the same
goods through our river mouth for
$5.00. We formerly paid $11.00
per thousand for shipping lumber
to “Frisco;” now we can do the same
for $5.00. Thus you will perceive
that the sating effected on mer­
chandise and lumber alone,—even
in the last year—amounts to no
less thun $41,733, that is, we have
saved as much in this year,—al­
though a poor one—as repaid the
appropiations granted in the three
years by the government, and near­
ly forty per cent in addition. \Yre
therefore confidently expect that
congress will grant us the $100,000
so urgently required, and memor­
ialists as in duty bound will evex
pray.
