CAPE PERPATUA ROAD
Adventures of Men and Mules in the
Construction of Highway Along
Steep Mountain Side
Supervisor Rankin 'if h'litfoiic, Qic
jon, announces tlisu tha road ulvicii
the Forestry service, in co-operation
with Lane and Lincoln cpimtii!.-', is
building around Cape Perpctua, is
near completion, and will be ready for
use by wagon and auto tnis coming
summer.
With the completion of this road
there will be a continuous highway
along the Oregon coast from New
port to Gold Beach, or almost to the
California line. That part of the road
constructed by the forest Service is
about a mile and a quarter in length,
and is located on the side of a steep
mountain or promontory jutting out
into the ocean, the highc.it point on
the road being 300 ft. above the ocean
A temporary rock wall, whicli is to be
replaced later by a permanent one of
cement, now protects the edge of the
bluff. To build this length of road re
quired the moving of approximately
C,000 cubic yards of dirt and rock mid
cost the government $11,000.
The construction of this road
around the cape was a very difficult
piece of work. Most of the way it had
to bo blasted through solid rock. Fur
thermore it was often difficult to keep
a foothold on the face of the slope. In
fact, this was found to be a task for
both mules and men. On ono occas
ion a mule went over the grade and
turned a summersault down the side
of the mountain about GO ft., his fall
being checked by some brush at the
edge of a precipice. He was rescued
and found to be little the worse foi
tho experience. At another time, one
of the men fell about 50 ft. down the
bluff. I it? was holding a rope to guide
n plow on the edge of the grade, and
was walking along a 90 per cent slope,
clinging to a sidchiil as best he could,
when the rope broke and let him fall.
He struck first on his face and shoul
der, then slid down about 20 ft. fur
ther, landing on his feet. His com
rado on tho road above watched him
with bated breath and wondered how
thoy could get n dead man up that
slbpe. 1 To their surprise and belief,
ho turned and waved his hat at them.
Ho was able to get up without assist
ance and resume his work. This in
cident has caused this spot to be
named "Keller's Leap."
Boys Have Their Fun
George Fryc, Firman Wilson, Fred.
Lowery, Lynman Lowery and Alvin
Backman of Quasaten creek spent
Sunday in Gold Beach. The boys
came down to have a good time, not
in a boysterous or unbecoming way,
but just fun. Among the places of
them was the skating rink. The man
ager of the rink says this is the first
time in his business career that lie has
been called upon to open his rink at
four o'clock in the morning but tho
boys were putting in full time, no
doubt having in mind that Capt. Low
rey would call for them at two o'clock
says "they arc all right," "all wool
nnd a yard wide" and he is always
glad to see them. The boys have ma
ny warm friends here nnd everybody
is glad to welcome them and make
their stay so pleasant they will feel
like coming often.

GOVERNMENT
WORK PROGRESSES
Work on the new government dock
across tho river from the city hall
was begun Tuesday morning when the
McLeod Bros.' pile driver placed the
first piling and the work has gone on
without interruption, about all the big
Bticks having been driven. The car
penters have busied themselves with
the stringers and the work is expect
ed to be done by the middle of this
week and the dock ready for use
This is but the beginning of the ex
tensive work which will be carried on
by the government engineers during
tho coming spring and summer. Be
fore actual work on the jettie3 can
commence, not only this dock but the
Breur dock and the tramways leading
from the dock on this side of tho river
to the quarry at Tuper Rock, muss be
put in condition. For all of this work
about 700 piling will be needed und
the contract for supplying them has
been given to F. F. Mundy, who is do
ing his cutting on the glades oast of
(lie city.
By tho time tho preliminary work
lias been completed, the trains for
hauling tho rock on the jetty work
will be here and ready for use. The

MARSHFIELD TO REGULATE
THE "JITNEY" BUSSES
Marshfield has been invaded by the
jitney buss and the Coos Bay Times
ices a regulation job ahead for the
ity council in a report of the new
reposition.
"Well, it's here the jitney bus.
When did it come? That's hard to tell.
There it was, running full blast this
norning and on tho front of the doub
le seated machine was a big sign,
Jiat read "Five Cents."
In the shape of a figure eight the

.varrant, lie expects to have two ina
nities on tlie road shortly.
Dry Town
Two or three days last week, Gold
t)each was about as dry a town as one
,vould care to live in. There are two
,iipe lines supplying the town with
nountain water the intake of each be
:ame clogged up and shut oU" tlie wat
ir supply. Had it not been for two
)r three wells in the town probably n
vater wagon would linve had to have
icon installed from Indian Crook or
.onio other source of supply. Howev
r, the fault has boon found and re-
tmirecl and tho town is in its normal
ondition again. Gold Beach Glebe.
John F. Bane entered Dr. Houston's
hospital Thursday for an operation.
The operation is made necessary by
an injury received by Mr. Bane last
fall while ho was working on the
transfer line.
Hopes For Jetty
Captain McGcnn said today that
he had had a long conference with
Major McKinistry in Portland., He
staid that they talked over the jetty
situation and is hopeful of develop
ments. He pointed out that the dan
ger of more of the old jetty (Jinking
was great. Ho suggested that a
committe8of U. S. engineers inspect
the entrance. The dredge Micliie will
leave Eureka for Portland about the
1st of March whore she will have ad
ditional powor installed. James Pol
hemus, son of Capt. Polliemus, will
probably lie sent with her to Coos Bay
later in tho spring to look after the
local work. Captain McGcnn pre
sented Major McKinistry with views
of the harbor entrance. Coos Bay
Times.
Still After a Boat
Tho proposition to buy tho Ran
dolph for uso out of Port Orford has
fallen through. Now business men of
that town have taken up the proposi
tion to buy tlie gasoline launch,
Tramp. The latter boat, says tho
Port Orford Tribune, while smaller
than the Randolph is one of the best
little sea boats of the coast. She hns
good power and running from Coos
Bay and Bandnn will give Port Or

GETTING A START IN
HOLSTEIN DAIRY COW
"To bo a glicat broader of live stock
takes brain." said Dr. C. H. Eckles,
of the University of Missoury, M ono
of his adresses to O. A. C. Farmers
Week students. "In the past the
great breeders have not had the sup
port they deserve. Today tho pros
spects of the young man starting in
this business with the tenacity of pur
pose to stay with it are very bright.
I think if he stays with it ten or
twenty years it will become a great
pleasure to him.
.It seems to me the breeder of Hol
stein cattle especially is today in a
position to be envied. I want to tell
you what I have done in the way of
breeding H,olstcin cattle. About
thirteen years ago I went out and
bought four cows for $0000.' One was
sold because wo did not like her, so
that all the cows we now have came
from the other three. We have sold
$5000 worth of blooded stock from
tho herd. In addition' to that we still
have 38 head of females on hand.
I will not undertake to say exactly
what they are worth, but$7G00, which
is $200 each, is an estimate.
"The only thing that the Holstein
ireeder seems to bo afraid of in our
date is that he will sell something
that ho doesn't want to sell. In other
,vords, he is afraid to put a price upon
an animal for fear he will sell her and
thus lose her."
Peculiarities of Gold
(From the Port Orford Tribune)
During tlie past week tlie Tribune
received a very interesting letter rel
ative to past mining experiences and
the character of tho gold found on
.upper Lobster Creek, Boulder and
Rock creeks. Tlie writer lias spent
much time prospecting in tliat section
md handles his subject ably and com
prehensively the only objection to his
letter being that it was not for publi
cation. Tlie recent strike of J. R.
Smith and others makes the topic a
live one. In speaking of the charac
ter of the gold coming from these
creeks the writer says that the pro
duct coming from Boulder and Lob
ster creek is easily distinguishable
from that found in Rock creek, the
former being solid and compact
while the latter is porous and bulky.
This statement is concurred in by (!
. Curry of this placi- who mined in
that region .'or seCi"il years. Bou'.d
