The Blaer Mining Company, of Susanvilie, expects to install a re duetlon plant on its property in the near future. 'The plant will involve an outlay of f 100,000. At a meeting of the common coun cil of Coquille City, lust week, it was decided to close the publio schools aud churches of that city for an un specified time, on wnnt - nf the number of cases of smallpox. The cahlo for the bucket carrier to be ueed by the Uuclo Sam Mining fc Milling Company of Blue River has been received at Eugene, and will be taken to the mill at ouce.

He got the usual forked stick and ran it up the tree and began to twist, In due lime the - skunk was hauled out. Then another trial was made and another skunk was brought down. Encouraged by hla success, ScoU kept up the process until 10 okunkd were dug out. The county court of Coos county has appropriated 11000 to be expend ed on the Allcghany.Elkton wagon road, and this makes the building of the road an assured fact.

It w ill . probably be 30 days before the vein will be tonched. Cot tape Grove, in Lane county, is thrifty town of about the same size as Hill-tboro, but some of the people are willing lo permit their neighbor to bear all the burdens of government. In pursuance of their plan, the "good citizens" stayed at home Ihe day of the school meeting, but the "Mossbacks" went and de feated the tax levy. As a result the public school was closed, three hun dred children run the streets and the town's eye Is black. In truth, are they not the true "Mossbacks" who stayed at home and allowed the others to job them? W, A. Wooliever reports that while crossing In over the Coquille bar last week the steamer Mandalay struck and swung around broadside to the sea. One of the small steam pipes was broken by the concussion caused : by heavy . seas breaking against her side, and the staterooms and cabins were filled with uteain. It was found by s'Hinding that there was less than four feet of water where the vessel struck. Although in a dangerous position, the steamer was, by tho good management of Captain Reed, worked off the shoal, and reached Bandon without further trouble. The directors of the Coquille pub- lie school attempted to have the teachen of that city sign an agree ment releasing the school board from auy obligations to pay tho teachers their salaries during the period that the schools will be closed on econunt of smallpox in Coqnil'e.' This move was, however, blinked by tho t"ach em, who n fu-ed to sign any such ar ticha unWvn the school hoard would in turn rp!'sifi t!if m from their con tracts to" teach the remainder of the present school t-rm. The reoult was that thf! teachers carried tlu-lr point and ar now mj ylm a vacation, and nt the Kxrso tlai? drawing their salaries, r
