From the Globe:
Samuel Iiothwcll, a new arrival in
our town, Imtl nn experienee the other
day which he will not forget soon
Mr. Bothwell is an old Indian war vet
eran, past seventy-four years of age
and like all people coming from the
interior, finds much interest along
the beach. On last Thursday the old
'gentleman took a stroll upon the
beach, and for an advantageous view
safely above the raging surf, he
climbed upon the root of a log which
had been mostly sawed up for wood
This Voot happened to lay on a ridge
of sand between the surf and a slough
The old gentleman sat there and
watched the surf for a long time.
when, before no realized wnat was
happening, a high roller came over
him, log and all, and took him down
through tho slough towards the ocean
at a terrifllc pace. Fortunately for
tho old man the force of the breaker
past over him before it had nwept
him into deep water, he managed to
gain his feet in water about waist
deep and waded out before another
breaker happened to come.

COQU1LLE
From the Sentinel:
J. II. Marshall, of Bandon, was up
here the first of the week to see his
sister, Mrs. C. R. Barrow, who has
been quite ill for several weeks, but
is now slowly improving.
Mrs. W. J. Longston came up from
Bandon last Sunday, remaining till
the afternoon boat Wednesday.
The ballots for the November elec
tion are already in the hands of the
clerk, and sample ballots are being
distributed. For the benefit of those
of our eastern friends who afo un
dcr the impression that we trip and
3tumblo over sheets eight feet long
when we retire to tho booths on elec
tion day, we will add that the Coos
county ballot for 191-1 is 24 inches in
length by 18 inches in width.
It is a little astonishing that the
railroad line, 28 miles long, running
from Marshfield to Myrtle Point, car
ried over eighty-eight thousand pas.
angers in the past year. That is an
average of 280 per day, or 70 for
?ach trip.
Wednesday evening Rev. A. J,
Hogg, of Seattle, Wash., conducted tho
prayer meeting service at the Pres
byterian church here. Mr. Hogg, who
has been in this country but six years
is a native of the north of Ireland
and graduated at Queen's college
there. He also holds dinlomasf rom
:olleges in England and this country
ind is a cultured and pleasing speak
ar, who delighted all who hoard him
Tho church here extended him a call
to become its pastor; but it will not
be known for a week or two whether
he can accept and if he does it will
be a month before he can begin his
'abors here. He stopped here on a. re
turn trip from San Francisco, and
went north on the Elder Thursday.
During the recess of the present
term of court for the past two weeks
District Attorney Liljeqvist, who ncv-
r seems right happy unless he is
hard at work, has been making a di
srost of the criminal law decisions in
this stale for the past eight years,
with a complete index. It is eight
years since the last index of this
'ind was printed, and meantime
there has accumulated a great num
ber of decisions with which it be
'looves a prosecutor to bo familiar,
Only a lawyer can realize how great
i time saver this digest to date will
V; and it looks as if every county
attorney in the state would need a
opy of Mr. Liljcqvist's pro'duclion.
More Boys Than Girls.
As usual during war times more
boys than girls aro coming into the
world. This is truc in Coos county,
iven, according to tho report of Dr,
Walter Culin, of this city, county
health officer. He says that in the
five months from May 1 to October 1
total of 00 births were reported.
This is complete for tho county ex
cepting Bandon, none of the doc
tors of that city making any report
Of the 00 births fl2 were reported boys
mil 28 girls. At this rato there were
fourteen per cent more boys than
(?irls born in Coos county in that per
iod. Only eighteen cloths wore re
ported to tho health officer in the five
months. The names of those who
lied were: Lusha C. Haskell, Mrs.
Olmstcad, Ferdinand Klahn, Jas. Was
son, Bluford Davis7 John Nichelton,
Matheau C-. Peldium, Oswalt A.
Wirth, Ethel M. Barrows, R. H.
Frank Lyons, child of Frnak Curlflc,
Wm. Corbin, Edward Clauson, dur
ance M. Ayrcs, Mary Young, Esther
J. Schoonover, Jefferson Owmby. Of
tho 00 births 29 wero reported in
September, und of tho 18 deaths, 10
were reported in that month. It is
quito evident tht tho reports were
more complete during September than
any previous month which may bo
taken to indicate that the physicians
intend to observe tho law regarding
making reports since Dr. Culin made
complaint before the grand Jury re
cently. Tho contugiouH dlhcuiKu ro
porlwl for tho poriod were: Typhoid
fever, 1 oimj; dlphtherlu, 'Jt; Kurlut

(PAID ADVEItTISBMENT)
FOR CONGRESS
Tho reason the Courier asks voters
to give Congressman Hawley's place
to Fred Ilollistcr of Coos County, is
because Mr. Hawley is not making
good the same reason tho Courior
would let go of an incompetent print
er and put another man in his place.
There isn't nn individual or news
paper in this district that can ask for
Mr. Hawley's return to congress on
his record for his record won't bear
the strain.
DOring his past four years in con
gress ho lias not passed a bill except
private pension bills.
This of itself would not bo any
thing against him, perhaps, but dur
ing his term in congress ho has come
dewn the lino with the big interests
and standpatters on about everything
they havo tried to jimmy through tho
national legislature and this office
has his record to prove it.
Ho has been tho hnndy man to the
big bunch to such an extent that such
periodicals ns LaFollett's magazine
has held him up to the view of the
people as a "Me, too," congressman.
Heretofore the Democrats havo
nominated a weak brother to run
against Mr. Hawloy, and made bin re
turn easy.
Whether this wns misfortune or in
tent doesn't matter nwo.
Hut this year Mr. Hawley hns a
live one for an opponent a man run
ning against him who is goin to beat
im out.
Frid llnllinlt'r of Coos Haj is every
ounce' a hustler nnd doer. '
He is progressive from the grqund
p, a progressive for progressive Ore
gon, lie believes this district has
been overlooked in the Washington
shufllo, .md ho wants a now deal.
Ho believes that a congressman who
has served eight years and had 170
of his 17f bills killed, must havo
been asleep at thes witch.
It is certain that Mr. Hawley hns
nlways been Inmo so far as Oregon
has been concerned.
Supposed to bo representing this
stnte, a state which emphatically
wont on record for reduced tariff du
ties, Mr. Hnlwey took tho stump in
Massachusetts advocating a repeal
of the present tariff laws nnd a return
to protection duties.
There re no reasons for returning
Mr. Hawloy, nnd thcre are the best
of reasons for electing Mr. Ilollistcr
and having this state eprcscntcd liy a
lan who represents the people.
It's a joko, a burlesque for pro
gressive Oregon, to return this Dis
ciple of Joe Cannon.
We have timber to beat him and
o will have correct representation"
n Mr. Hollister.
If voters of Clakainas county will
ue their heads und forget party, Mr.
Hawloy will bo a onco-waier Novem
ber 8, and wo will have n rongroas
man in Washington who will not have
to think twice whether ho In ropro-
aor.tlnif SIsiwchiiM)tt:( or Oregon.- -OrKM
