might justly complain. As it is,
unless we are very blind iu the
matter, we are particularly fortu
nate.
From the weather report on the
first page o f to-day’s H ekali », it
will be seen that from Jau. 1, 1880,
to Jan. 1, 1887 we had but two
snows, aud they melted away as
fast as they fell. This will be a sur
prise to rnauy who live at a dis-
stance, and who do uot know the
mildness ot our climate. The dis
tance between this place and the
Bandon station is so small that it
seems hardly possible that there
could be auy difference: however,
there has been some this winter,
f«»r while the report records 19
frosts in O ct, Nov. and D >c., we
had only seven that were percep
tible on tlie lowest lands, aud but
three in Coquille City.
So far,
the
present

there
has been no snow at ail, and
possibly may uot be; we have
had winters here entirely free from
snow.
From a private letter from Hon.
B. Hermann we learn that he has
secured a rocommendation from
the House Committee for an ap
propriation of #12,000 for the im
provement o f tlie month of the Co
quille, and $25,000 for Coos bay.
This would make a total of #32.000
for the Coquille, and #58,000 for
Cooe bay for the two years, and
most all of which will be available
next season. Mr. H. is sauguine
o f securing #5000 for pulling snags
and dredging the upper river, pro
vided the engineers report favor
ably. This, he thinks will require
hard work, since he has asked so
much for this county.
This is a
pretty good showing for our rep-
rontutive, is it not?
