COOS COUNTY MAIL TO COME IN MYRTLE POINT ROUTE That the mail service for Coos county the coming year will be via tho Myrtle Point-Roseburg route is the belief of J. O. Stemmler, who is hero from Myrtle Point. In re sponse to the matter letters and petitions received opposing the pro posed abolition of tho Myrtle-Point- Roseburg route, Senator Chamberlain wired him that the Postofilce Depart ment had decided to ask new bids. Mr. Stemmler believes that this is equivalent to agreeing to continue the service that way. Tho plan is understood to bo to ask for bring ing in all of the Coos and Curry mail that way. There are several bidders whose bids were rejected before. Tho lowest bid was about $35,000 per year, which is $5500 more than is being paid for the service now. Tho total pay for the service to tho Co quille Valley via Myrtle Point and to Coos Bay via the old Coos Bay wagon road is $29,500. In addition to this increase, there would bo another in crease for whatever tho railroad charges for handling the mail be tween Coos Bay and Myrtlo Point. It is understood that Contrator Barnard is among those bidding. He is bidding on the basis of having to buy a whole new outfit, the same as the others are bdding, although Bar nard would be able to use the old outfits that he is now using. It is claimed that it would cost $18,000 to buy an outfit to handle the mail ser vice and owing to tho uncertainty of the contract being for longer than a year, many who would like to bid on it nre afraid of taking tho chance. Mr. Stemmler says that Contractor Bar nard has informed him that nt tho present contract price ho would loso money if it wasn't for the money he is taking in on the passenger traffic. Coos Bay Times.
