On the first page of this issue will be found a circular letter urging towns having a population of one thousand or more to petition con gress for mail carrier service. Rural districts bordering upon the lines of incorporated towns have long en joyed the delivery and collections of the mails while residents ol munici palities are compelled to go to the postoffice— in many instances a con- sidetable distance. This does not seem just inasmuch as business, professional men and others are by fat the greater patrons of the postal service. Will some of our enter prising citizens take steps in aid of the consummation of this matter as outlined in the article referred to ? But in order that Coquille be made available for the service the nam ing of the streets and the number ing of the buildings must be accom plished. Certainly Coquille has ar rived at that stage where conven iences of this character are essential, not only to our own people, but to strangers who are coming in great er numbers to our fair city day by day. A leader is all that is requir ed and a concerted action is sure to follow. LAUDABLE EFFORTS OF OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT $1.00 yards for Towels, per pair Gingham, per yd. 6c Meu’s shirts .
