H. A. DeLong for Commissioner I
More Primary Filings
The most important filing of the
week for the May primary election
was that of J. P. Beyers last Satur­
day, who seeks renomination as the
republican candidate for county as-
sessor.
Experience makes for efficiency
and the experience Mr. Beyers has
had in that office makes him the most
valuable official the voters of the
county could choose.
He is recog­
nized by the state tax commission as
one of the most able assessors in the
state of Oregon, and Coos county is
fortunate in his decision to run again.
Other filings last Saturday were
those of J. Loy Stacer, city engineer
of Coquille, who seeks nomination on
the republican ticket aa county sur­
veyor; Thos H. Thompson, of Marsh­
field, democrat, for county commis­
sion; and H. J. Galahne, who filed for
the democratic nomination as con­
stable at Marshfield.
J. J. Stanley also has filed as a
democrat for nomination on the pri­
mary ticket for justice of the peace
for the Coquille district, No. 3.

Hcrm A. DeLong, Fourmile farmer
and well known resident of Coos
county for a quarter of a century, is
a candidate for county commissioner,
according to announcement made by
him at the meeting of the Young
Democrats Tuesday night.
He will
run on the democratic ticket, says
yesterday’s Western World.
Mr. DeLong was urged to run for
the office by a large number of his
friends, not only in this community
but in other parts of the county. It
is generally oonceded that this section
of the county is entitled to a member
of the county court as a matter of
distribution of representation.
One
of the other two is from the upper
Coquille vaiely and the other from
Coos Bay.
Mr. DeLong has been a successful
farmer, logger and road builder and
has had experience in business as a
merchant and a real estate agent and
is therefore considered well qualified
for the position.

Postmaster M. O. Hawkins attend­
ed the Chamber of Commerce lunch­
eon in the hotel Tuesday noon to ex­
plain what is being attempted to
speed up mail service in Coos county.
The suggestions made were approved
by the directors and a resolution
from Coquille will accompany those
from the other chambers of com­
merce in the county which are to be
sent to the postoffice department.
What is asked is that a mail car­
rier, by truck, be established out of
Eugene down the Umpqua to Reeds­
port, and thence to Coos Bay, bring­
ing first class mail which arrives
from Portland at Eugene at 1:10 a. m.
This would connect with the present
mail carrier from Marshfield to Rose­
burg which arrives at Coquille at
3:30 a.m. HEfty
At the present time about 50 per
cent of the mail for Coos county is
ready for dispatch from Portland by
the 7:15 p. m. train. That mail ar­
rives in Coquille soon after 8 a. m.
when it is on time.
The other 50 per cent leaves Port­
land by the 0:50 p. m. train and ar­
rives in Roseburg in time to catch the
carrier which arrives at Coquille soon
after 5 p. m. If that mail now going
by the later train to Roseburg was
taken from the train at Eugene and
started over to Reedsport and down
to Coos Bay by truck, the mail which
now comes at 5 p. m. would be dis­
tributed by 10 a. m. of that morning,
and an opportunity given to answer
necessary correspondence by that
evening’s night train to Portland. It
would speed up receipt of 50 per
cent of the mail coming to Coquille
by eight hours.
