He also had a peti­ tion sent out by the Commercial Club o f Coquille asking to have our mail route from Marshfled to Sitkum changed so the mail route would be from Coquille to Sitkum. What in the name of common sense has the Commercial Club o f Coquiflo got to do with our mail route? Suppose the eow milkers club would get out a pe­ tition to change the mail route o f the mail fo r the people o f Coquille, would not the Commercial Club think that the cow milkers club was butting in where it had no business? Who is peaking through the rails o f the fence anyway? A card from Theodore received the same day as his letter says he has received mail that he thought might bo lost.

Wimer, o f Grants Pass, Oregon, a brother o f Mrs. J. H. Rad- abaugh, o f near Arago, and cousin o f E. Wimer, o f Coquille, died at his home tn Grants Pass March 26, after a lingering illness, covering a period o f several years. The last few months , he was confined to his bed a greater part o f the time, and his death was therefore not unexpected. The cause of his death was cancer o f the stomach, together with a com­ plication of other diseases, from which he suffered intensely. He was well known in Coquille and vicinity, having conducted a grocery , store here fo r several years early in the 90’s. He also lived near Arago a year before that time. For a num- - bey o f years he has been in business in Grants Pass, first in the grocery and confectionery line, but about one and a half years ago he erected a fine concrete building and since then has .been conducting a novelty store. Being a cripple from birth, he has always won the sympathy and esteem of all with whom he came in contact, and had many friends. In the year 1896 he was married to Miss Sarah Halter, who survives him and who has always been a most lov­ ing, faithful and helpful companion to her afflicted husband. The deceased was born at Phoenix, Jackson county, Oregon, July 30, 1868, and departed this life at Grants Pass, March 26, 1918. The funeral service was held at the Christian church at Grants Pass and Interment took place in the Granite Hill cemetery at Ashland, Oregon, th e ' remains being laid be­ side those o f hia brother, Jourdan, who died a number o f years ago. An­ other brother, also a sister, is interred in the same cemetery. The deceased is survived by his wife, father and mother, Mr. and Mr*. Geo. W . Wimer, four sister and two brothers, .beside many relatives, and will be greatly missed. • • '* * ‘7 McKinley Red Cress. The list o f workers at our Red Cross Thursday were as follows: Mes- dames L.
