L. J. Cary, deputy assessor, o f Co

sonal property. 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

Death of A. J. Winer.
Adam J. 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.
