Inspector Moss of the United States Postoffico Department, who was sent to Coos Bay to ascertain why the mail service here is so poor, declares that the roads be tween Coos Bay and Roseburg are so bad that the people ought to be thankful to have any service at all. Mr. Moss made the trip afoot and on horseback, spending three days on the route. He declares it is the worst ever and that the parties hav ing the contract to carry the mail cannot give better service until the roads are improved. He took the matter up yesterday with County Commissioner E. A. Anderson. Mr. Moss said he would give 1100 to any man who could make the trip on boat Mr. Moss’ view of the poor mail service is not concurred in with peo ple familiar with the situation. This is his first trip here and he appears, according to parties with whom be talked, to be trying to find excuses why tb mail contractors should not be fined for the delays in the ser vice. The mail service so far this win ter is declared to be the worst Coos county has had in years. Parties who have gone over the Roseburg and Coos Bay wagon road admit that it is bad but say it is better than in previous years when much better service was given. Mr. Moss did not explain why the contractors did not provide sufficient horses to give the service but he called at tention to the fact that the amount of mail to be carried was rapidly in creasing. Judging from Mr. Moss’ verbal statements to various local parties, his report will not be beneficial to Coos Bay immediately— in fact be indicated that the gist of his report to the department will be that the people are not entitled to mail ser vice untill they build better roads. Just what effect this report will have on the numerous letters and statements that have been sent di rect to the department at Washing ton and also to Walter Lyons to take up with the department is not known yet. Can be Completed by M ay i. Thirty Seattle, February 22.— If the present rata of progress be main tained, and there is no intention that it shall be otherwise, the Alaska-Yukon-Pacifio Exposition can be opened, complete in every detail, by May 1, one month in advance of the day fixed by the directors of Seattle’s very biggest event. With the exception of the govern ment and Canadian buildings, all of the principal structures of the exposition are completed and ready for the installation of exhibits. The Agriculture and Manufactures palaces have been finished for months. The magnificent Audi torium is ready for use, with its thousands of seat* in place. The Fine Arts Palace is ready to receive the art treasures which will crowd it during the Fair and the Ma chinery Building was long ago ad ded to the completed list. The Forestry Building, which with its essential construction of unsawed fir logs, is not complete, but is so far along that a clear idea of its imposing proportions is to be had All four of these named buildings are permanent structures which will revert to the University of Washington at the end of the big fair. Killed by Earthquake. Constantinople, Feb. 16.— A num ber of houses and government buildings at Sivas, the capital o f a vilayet of the same name in Asiatic Turkey collapsed today as the re sult of an earthquake. The loss of life has not been ascertained, but re ports say that 30 persons have been killed others injured. Many of the inhabitants are ' without shelter. Sivas. sometimes Seevas, has a pop- ulation of about 0000 families, Budapest, Feb. 16.— An Tacoma, Wash., Feb. 16.— A special to the News from Skagway says au earthquake shocK was felt there this morning.

The raising or growing of horses has not kept pace with tbe demands of tbe coun try and the horse industry offers an inviting field for profit. Now agri cultural lands are constantly being opened up, and this means more horees to cultivate the new farms. New railroads are constantly beiDg built and public work of all kinds is being extended. This calls for more horses. In the larger cities there is an ever-increasing demand for delivery and draft horses. The autombile cuts but a small figure in the delivery or hauling business. The cost of maintaining an automo bile is too great at present, and for that reason the merchants and huck sters coniinue to use the horse and the mule. Everything that is pur chased in the cities, whether it be a half pound of butter^rthe material which enters into tbe construction of a sky-scraping building, must be hauled by wagon. Tbe big depart ment stores and laundries find their delivery departments very costly, but they still find it much cheaper to feed horses or mules than to maintain a garage and pay for tbe constant repairs. At present deal ers complain of scarcity of good horses, and those who raise them have no trouble in disposing of them —Journal of Agriculture. ■ — ^ 9 9 . -9 -9 9-9*9 ■9i9'9 ■J'9 9 HOTEL • COQUILLE earth- <lU4ke 8boclt laBtinK ,or 10 seconds was felt today in the districts of Keeshemst, Nagy, Koros, Le Czgled and Felegymaza.
