I k Agent for Bandon and Curry County ET -B BT il COOS TELEPHONE HUSINESS MAKES A UIO INCREASE The new tclopliono directory which is being distributed to subscribers of the Coos and Curry Telephone Com pany confirms a notion which has pro vailed hereabouts that although there was a- general commercial dopressior abroad in the land, Coos county was not feeling it as much as sonic othei sections. According to tho now directory there are 11)05 subscribers connected with the exchanges of tho company at Marshfield, Kandnn, North liond Coijuillo nnd Myrtle Point. Eleven mouths ago when the last directory was put out by tho old Coos Bay Homo Telephone Company there wore 1780 subscribers to the five exchanges. This is a clear gain of 7 "per cent, Comparing it with the incrcaso of u per cent shown by all the exchanges of the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Company in five states, shows Coos progress to be considerably abovo tho average. There is only one city in Oregon which lias shown n higher rate of telephone growth than the av erage of the Coos county towns for the same period. Eugene's increase was at tho rate of lOMi per cent MnrshfiehPs growth was over 9 per cent and was more than double the average gain in Aberdeon, Iloquiam, Astoria and Eureka, towns similarly situated. The management of tho telephone company announces that in future di rectories will bo isscd nt least ovory six months. At North Horn! a new awitchboard has been installed nnd now common battery telephones are being substituted for the old ningno to instruments. Marshfield and Han don already had this improved equipment. THE MISSES LOWE AND ROSA ENTERTAIN AT F.VIE HUNDRED Mrs. Geo.

Marshfield, Oregon, Dec. 4 Harry J. Kimball, Geo. E. Cook and Carl M. flvertson were elected to the Marsh field Council at the election in this city on Tuesday, GIG of the registered voters casting their ballots. A prac Jcally solid vote was cast for John W. Uutlcr for city recorder. The amendment to the city charter, giv .ng the Council the right to advertise for and accept bids for the different parts of the work on one improvement passed easily. All three of the now Councilmen will take their seats at the first meet ing of tho body in 1915. Under tho amendment passed, the Council will bo able to divide tho it ems of street improvement work and give tho contrct for grading to one the contract for tho sidewalks to an other and the contract for surfacing tho street to still another contractor.

Do Qulncey's greatest extravagance grew out of the morbid value he set upon papers and their not being dis turbed, lie was In the habit of accu mulating Uioho until, In his own words, ho was "snowed up," which Meant thnt when matters reached such nn extremity thnt there was not a square Inch of room on tho table to set n cup upon and no possibility of making his bed for the weight of pa pers gathered there; no chnlr which could bo used for Its legitlmato pur pose, and the track from the door to tho flreplnce. nlways kept open until tho last, was completely obliterated so that ho had not even plnee In which to set his foot then Do Quincey lock ed tho door upon his paper treasures and turned elsewhere. At his death there wero at least a half dozcu such plnces "papered" by him nnd being maintained at no small expense. Such a thing had been experienced ns his nctually "pnperlng" his family out of house, but In later years his daughters learned how to guard agnlnst such a contingency. Do Quincey usually spent tho even ings with his family, who looked for ward to rheso hours with much pleas ure. Upon tho arrival of the newspa per ho would render tho news In his own quaint manner, questioning tho vnrlous members of the group about Lira and illuminating tho vnrlous sub jects touched upon with a wealth of memories, good stories or human ex periences until the happiest flow of real conversation sprang frvm tho cir cumstances of the moment. IIo wns not a trnnqiilllzlnj,- Compan ion for nervous persons to live with, ns thoso nights wero tho exceptions on which ho did not set fire to something. It was a common occurrence Tor ono of his daughters to look up from Iter work mid to say casually, "Papa, your hair Is on flro!" to which ho would re spond casually "Is It. my love?" and a hand rubbing out tlio blnze was all the notice taken. On ouo occasion, when the maid rushed In to announce that Mr. du Qulncey's room wus on lire, ho hasten ed to the rescue of his nlrondy "snow ed up" apartment, refusing all sug gestions thnt wilder be ivnired upon his trensurcd papers. A-med with a heavy rug ho disappeared into tho burning room determlucd to conquer without water or perish In the attempt, while tho members of his affrighted household trembled for his snfety out sldo the door, locked to prevent the nbhorred water from being poured in. Presently, after occnslonnl bursts of snioko nnd a very strong smell of lire, nil wero nssured that the danger was over, tho victor emerged triumphant ly from his light with tho llnmcs, nnd tho drended element having been sub dued for tho evening all retired In a state of thankfulness. From Caroline ricknor's "Hawtliorne and Ills Pub Usher." POLAR RESEARCH. Arotlo and Antarctic Problems That Still Remain Unsolved. Tho era of pole hunting Is now Imp plly over, and the best result of Pea ry's and Amundsen's athletic feats In tho north and south Is that the really important problems of the cireiimpoliir regions can henceforth bo nttacked with n single mind. From a seli'iitllle standpoint enough work remains to be done In these regions to Inst for sev eral generations. Tho antarctic has only been scratch ed, so to speak. Owing to (lie diverse scales used in school geographies the average man goes through life with bndly warped Ideas concerning the re I ntlvo sizes of vnrlous parts of the enrth's surface, and so probably few people realize thnt the antarctic conti nent Is very much larger tliiiu ICurope In fact, about as large as Europe nnd Australia combined. Of this huge con tinent we do nut know even the shape nnd locution of the coast Hue, except for one long stretch south ot Australia nnd n few widely scattered points else where, while the whole Interior, apart from a narrow wedge between Ross sen nnd the pole, is virtually blank on our maps. In the arctic a patch of a million squnrc miles Is still nbsolutely un touched. Ko much for mere surface geography; but. of course, modern po lar research includes a wide range of nongeographlcal problems pertaining to such diverse subjects ns geology, glnclology, meteorology, terrestrial mag netism, seismology, ocennography, zool ogy, botany, physiology, ethnology nnd archaeology.
