The body of a niau wad found last
week iu Rogue river ne.r Marial, but
it was so mutilated and decomposed
that no marks of identification could
be found. No person has been
drowned so far as kuown iu that sec
tion of the river and the following
letter ha been received by the Courier
for publication, iu the expectation
that the mystery may be cleared up as
to the identity of the unfortunate man.
So far as known no man has boen
drowned this Fall or Winter iu npper
Rogue river whose body was not
found. It is irobahle, judging by the
heavy boots worn by the man that the
body found at Marial was that of
some lone prospector who fell iuto
Rogue river or some of its lower tribu
taries and was drowned. The river
being very swift ' and cold the body
would not float, bat would be rolled
along the bottom and laterally worn
in contact witb the rocks, unless
by a chanoe of the current it should
be thrown on the shore, as was the
case of this body.
The following is the letter in full
telling of the grewsome find:
Marial P. O., Curry County, Ore.
Jan. 27, 1906.
Editor Courier, Grants Pass, Ore.
Dear Sir : The late heavy rains in
Rogue river washed ashore and left
dinging to the debris the mutilated
body of a man, one leg ana ootn arms
and the head being severed from the
trunk or body. No olothing Was on
the body except part of the under
clothing and one heavy leather boot of
the old style make. Owing to the
state of the body and the time requir
ed to hold an inquest, we have six of
us decided to bury the remains and
then notify the corooer.
There has been inquiries made by a
man by the name of Mitohell, also by
a lady from , your town requesting
parties along the river to keep a
lookout for a corpse. R. L. Joues of
Marial P. O. was the discoverer of
the body while atteuding his traps.
Any information will be gladly fur
nished upon enquiry.
Respectfully

How to Get Fresh Coffee
Out of a Tin Can
A coffee bean consists largely of cells. These in a gTeen state, are filled with moisture and chemical
constituents. The roasting develops and fills these cells with a volatile essential oil (aroma). This vapor
izes and a certain quantity escapes if exposed to the air.
In the usual package this esHential oil vapor or gas continues to escape, iu an ordinary sealed can there is
present sufticieat air to oiidi'.e and spoil it just as if the can were open. The vacuum can as now developed
and perfected, consists of a can, strong and easily closed, wnich is filled with coffee, then plaoed in a lacaain
chamber, the air withdrawn, and cover sealed while in the vacuum
In order to save all the aroma possible, the coffee is packed immediately after roasting and before the
essential oil has had time to vaporize and escape.
It takes a strong can to resist the air pressure from the outside when the air from the inside is removed.
An empty one will collapse like a paper bag. If a can is filled with tea and the air exhausted, the heads of
the can will smip in and remain concave. But the heads of coffee cans will in a short time become distended
as the vaporized oil produces a pressure on the inside sometimes greater than the air pressure on the outside,
thus the head of the can will be distended. This will explain the difference iu appearance between the
vacunm cans containing tea and otiffee.
After beiug in the vacuum can for awhile the vapor is re-absorbed. This assures a perfect blending of
all the different flavors of the various coffees that make op the blend, producing a very superior coffee. Ex
haustive, thorough and practical application of the vacuum process baa demonstrated the success and perfec
tion of the vacuum Coffee can. Buy of
