Only a few Comp'y and confided his scoop to Constable Gardner and plans' were laid to trap the alleged lawbreakers. It happonad that one of the parties had sent to this state for a supply of wet goods to be used on a hunting and fishing trip and he gave instruc tions to have it cached at a certain place. Tho party and a companion later, at night, gathered in the goods and proceeded to camp, but before reaching there the two officers men tioned, seized them and two small demijohns. The deputy placed the goods in his room and kept careful watch over same and next morning proceeded to servo two more warrants and subpoena five witnesses, in tho meantime the constablo guarded the evidence. After all had been accomplished, the constable proudly deposited the goods in an auto and orders were given to proceed to Gold Beach, forty-one miles away, where the lawbreakers were to receive their just dues. Next morning court convened and all appeared, the constable still re taining tho evidence in a grain sack. After duo time he was ordered to pro duce it, in order that tho court and others present could test it. The constablo smilingly opened the sack and produced "Exhibit A," while the deputy had a far-away look, no iiuH.it jioiuioring as to whether to ac cept or decline a flattering offer from the Pinkertnn's.

CURRY COUTY FIGHTING FOR ITS MAIL SERVICE Marshfield, June 30. The people and the business interests of Curry county are making every effort to in duce the post office department to chance the announced decision that the mail route from Gold Beach Brookings is to be abolished. When new bids for carrying the mail were received they were higher than form erly owing to the parcels post, and in crease in tho volume of mail, due to the development in the southern part of the county. The department stat ed that the bids were too high, and that the route would therefore be abolished. With this route abolished there would be no dircet connection with the southern part of Curry coun ty and the chain of mail route up and down the coast from Eureka to Coos Bay will be broken. There is no reg ular stage line from Gold Beach to the Chetco river and the mail is car ried on horseback. The distance from Gold Beach on Rogue River to Harbor and Brookings on Chetco riv er is 44 miles and the mail carrier makes tho distance in one day. With the new town and lumber mill estab lished at Brookings the abolishment of the route will cause great incon venience. In order that a letter go from Coos Bay to Brookings it will be necessary for it to travel out from this city to Roseburg, then by rail road to California, 90 miles overland to Crescent City and then up the coast by stage to Brookings. The Curry county people claim that with tho mail route from the Rogue river to Chetco river cut out, the southern part of the county will be practically isolated from Oregon and all business turned into California. The mail route is probably the longest one on the coast which must be covered in one day, and the mail driver, Will Owen, is probably the youngest mail carrier in tho state. He is just past 10 years, tho age required to carry mail. Tho mail goes down one day and up the next for six days a week, The carrier must travel -H miles a day, or over 1000 miles a month on horseback to give tho service.
