Tho following graphic descrip
tion of Coos cjuuty by a Ban-
don correspondent appeared m
the Portland Daily News of June
the 5th:
“ Coos county is situated <>u the
coast of Southern Oregon.
It is
bounded on the north and east by
the county of Douglas, on the south
by Curry, and on the west by the
Pacific ocean. Irregular in out
line, it lias a length from north to
south of about fifty miles, with a
maximum breadth of about thirty.
Its area is approximately 1,100
square miles, or about 700,000
acres of land. Its surface is very
broken and diversified, containing
mountains, valleys, streams, and a
magnificent and extensive bay.
Coos is in contour basin-like, with
hills completely surrounding it,
and forming its rim, excepting on
the western edge which dips into
tho sea. The coast range of moun
tains recedes from the ocean, leav
ing the greater portion of Coos
county a comparatively level tract.
The Coast range mountains on the
east aro tho Umpqua mountains,
those to the south and southwest
the Rogue River mountains. 1 hese
two chains unite at Camas valley,
on the headwaters of tho middle
fork of the Coquille river.

a low pass exists and communica
tion takes place from east to west

Between Coos county and the val

stage road, ascending the North
fork of the Coquille river, crossing
the range at Brewster canyon and
west of Looking-glass valley on to
Roseburg. North of this stage
load the mountains are rough, and
entirely impassble, it is claimed.
Several streams rise here, those on
the west slope emptying into Coos
bay, whilst the eastern side is
drained by the Umpqua. In the
Rogue river chain a still larger
number of streams rise—the Co

the northern and western slope,
the South Umpqua the eastern,
and the Rogue river the southern.

The Oregon
election will take place next Mon
day.
The Oregonian claims that
there has never been so tame a
campaign preceeJiug an election.
It further charges that both par
ties are run by political rings, and
both parties are corrupt aud that
is the reason why the Oiegonian
and Ihe people take so little inter
est in the canvass.
I f this is true
the Oregonian is shamefully to
blame. It is no time to stand idle
and bo indifferent when state af
fairs are going to ruin. The Ore
gonian is, or it claims to be, a
great newspaper, shedding its
light and w ielding its potent influ
ence in every corner of the state.
It is the very time to be up and
foremost in weeding out corruption
and making politics honorable aud
decent We do not anticipate that
things are quite as sad in the web-
foot state as the Oregonian would
fain have them.
The Oregonian
has not been consulted this year
or tuken into the confidence of
w hat the editors of the organ term
the rings, The cheapest argument
for a sore-headed politician is to
cry “ring.” We do not claim to be
very thoroughly posted in the local
polites of Oregon, but we do know
that when the editor of the Ore
gonian is consulted and his views
are entertained and passed
with a sort of half acquiescence,
enough to secure to him a candi
date or two, aud the Oregonian is
made to feel pecuniarily comfort
able, there are no rings aud no
corruption on the Oregouian’s side
of the house. It is certainly a very
unfortunate condition of things for
a great state like Oregon to lose
the influence of that pure and
philanthropic organ. We are half
inclined to believe that the state
will go to pieces and that both
parties ought to disband aud take
in the Oregonian and the Chinese
and form a new party. Tw’o years
is a long time to be kept out in the
cold with an uncertain prospect
of ever getting back into the ranks
of the republican party.—Idaho

Belfast, June G.—The funeral
of James Curran, the navvy who
was drowned on Friday when the
Orangemen attacked the ship yard,
took place to-day. Twenty thou
sand persons marched in the fuu-
erul procession, which was orderly
until a mob of Orangemen charged
them, when a deperate aud bloody
fight ensued. The Catholics were
taken unawares and
yielded
ground, but rallied and drove the
Orangemen in every direction.
Several shots were fired. One man
was fatally stabbed, and many were
severely cut and bruised.
The
Orangemen finally collected a force
and returned to the scene, but po
lice were also reinforced aud dis
persed them.
The Catholics
smashed the window s of the Broad
way Linen Factory aud several
other buildings. Later there w*ere
several minor disturbances.
The
police are now patrolling the streets,
fearing more trouble. There were
several arrests made.
