A Stormy Voyage
When the railroad is completed
to Coos I'ay it will relegate to
the rear the pioneer expedients
with which the inhabitants of
Coos and Curry counties have
had to resort in order to get
in and out of that section. The
publisher of the Herald can put
it down in his archives that he
came in and went out of that
country by four different routes,
all of them strenuous.
Perhaps the most memorable
was the trip out and in during
February when I made the trip
from Bandon to Monmouth and
return, taking five days to the
trip, changing modes of convey
ance twenty times -twice by'
steamboat, three times by guso;
line bouts, once by row bout, six
times by steam cars, twice by
gasoline cars, four times by au
tomobiles, once in a spring wagon
and once in a springiest wagon.
My first trip into that country
was by boat from the south and
last and most recent by bout to
the north. !
The good ship Breakwater was
our carrier on our recent trip to
the end of our destination at
Monmouth. Were it not Break-,
water the boat might appropri
ately be called the Caledonia for

men. McOenn Campbell. Mc

the officers and the dialect of the

considerable reputation along the
route.
Hi song in which he laments
the dryness of Oregon and an
other w which he paints a gor

are considered classics. He loves have extracted some consolation
to give orders to his underlings; out of greater misfortune. The
