Edi tor Review: There has appeared from
time to time in our local papers articles extoll
ing (very truthfully too) the climate, productions
of the soil and the great wealth that exists in the
timber, coal and minerals, which are known
to be within Douglas, Coos and Ciury coun
ties, inviting capital to utilize, but when men
arrive seeking homes and locations for invest
ments, they are surprised to find no way to
visit this territory except on foot, and few '
guides to be found, therefore go away be
licvingwe have humbugged them. There
are no roads but one Coos bay wagon road
crossing the Coast Range mountains the divid-
ing line between the counties mentioned,
The easiett and often the quickest way from
Roseburg to Coo bay is by way of Portland
and San ! rancisco a distance of over thirteen
nundrcu miles. 1 ins should not he so, as the
distance from Roseburg to Empire City is
only seventy-five miles by C B. W. R. which
is often impassable except 0:1 foot. A good
wagon road can be Utile down the mid
dle fork of the Coquille river to Myrtle Point,
a distancs of sixty miles from Roseburg of
whirh tV.erc are only twenty-six miles to build,
nine miles in Douglas county. Coos county
has heretofore expended much money and
labor on this route and a small outlay on the
part of Douglas would enable us to make a
road that we could drive a team and wagon to
the coast this fall.

Recently Sabbath Schools of this city took
some active sleps toward organizing the Sab

cates that Sabbath school workers all over the
country should at once take the matter in
hand and organize a county Sabbath School
Convention.

Dear Sir: Your esteemed favor of recent
date is just received and I am very glad
that the good people of your city have taken
such an interest in the Sabbath school work
and have awakened such an enthusiasm with
regard to a County Sabbath School Conven
tion. Our County Sabbath School Associa
tion has been in existence four years and in
that lime the number of our schools have in
creased from 15 to 20, our attendance has
doubled, our collections for home expenditures
have increased 100, ourcollections for mis
sions have increased 200. Our work is bel
ter and more souls are being saved . I here
with enclose a pamphlet telling how to pro
ceed to organize a Sabbath School Associa
tion and have a County Convention, I sent
for blanks for the statistics a long time ago
but cot no reply. V.. Pay son Porter, Phila
delphia International Statistical Secretary
keeps the blanks and you would need about
50 cts, worth, a blanc for each Sabbath
School in the county and two large ones for
you to tabulate the statistics, onc,to keep and
the other to send, to me. We find that the
fore part of June is the best time for the Con
vention, you might find some other time bet
ter for you. I would like to be with you and
if 1 can get away from my work I will attend
your Convention. May the Lord prosper you
in the good work. With great esteem.

Like shadowland so dim yet fair

A welcome star to sailor's sight
Guides many a brave ship through the night.
From Umpqua head to Little bay
A foam while fringe of breakers lay
So beautiful to see to hear
Their ceaseless music, grand, sublime,

Had made you lift your hands and piay
A silent breathless prayer to Dine,
To stay awhile his hurrying feet,
And let you listeu w hile you may

Into the distance, south, and dim,
And from the faint horizon's rim
Two tall masts rose upright and made
Two sharp blacks spear-shafts thrust up
The ocean's wounded breast of blue, through
The steady beat of flying feet
Kept time upon the smooth hard beach,
Along the west a cloud bank lay,
A level wall as cold and grey
As if the bright sun would not reach
To ktss and warm it into gold,
And rosy flame when lower still
He stooped to seaward and threw back
Some slanting beams along his track.
Upon our right hand sang the sea.

whooping back on to us with the enemy at
their heels. Our officers are liable to go

Tourists, emigrants and mariners find that
Ilostctter's Stomach Bitters is a medicinal
safeguard against unheallhful influences, upon
which they can implicitly rely, since it pre
vents the effects of vitiated atmosphere, un
accustomed or unwholesome diet, bad water,
or other conditions unfavorable "to health.
On long voyages, or journeys in latitudes ad
jacent to the equator, it is especially useful as
a preventive of the febrille complaints and dis

the influence of extreme cold, sudden changes
of temperature, exposure to damp or extreme
fatigue. It not only prevents intcimittent .
and remittent fever, and other diseases of a
malarial type, but eradicates them, a fact
which has been notorious for years past in
