Indications in the motor vehicle
registration department are that un
less motor vehicle und motorcycle
owners and dealers and chauffeurs
re1 pond very soon to notices sent them
oi ily this month in the shape of blank
r Mentions there will he a congestion
work in the department which will
inuko it impossible to supply many of
tlu licenses, tana and bndncs by the
f rst of the year when the old liccns
i i become void.
Thu work of registration for 1010
as begun earlier than usual this
tnr in order to allow ample time to
'cure number plates by the first of
to year. Hluiik applications were
Mit to all the 2U.C00 nuto and truck
t wner.s 17r dealers, 4.100 chauffeurs
nd 3,200 owners of motorcycles nenr-
- a month ny;o and although the time
vadahle for registration before the
..rut of the coming year is nearly half
one only 2,700 applications have ad
vet been received. This leaves around
.1,000 to be issued during the one
month remaining. While this oflice
will do its utmost to take care of the
business, these figures indicate the
great number of licenses to be issued
within a very limited time, and those
interested may save themselves incon
onionce by sending in their applica
tions at the earliest possible time,
which they are asked to do.
Ol.t) WHITING. MACIIINK
An old Caligraph, reperscnting the
first crudo attempt at making a writ
ing machine, has been nlaccd in the
museum of the O. A. C. School of
All Wrong
The Mixtuke is Made by Many Ilaudou
Citbens
Commerce by Graham & Wells, of
Corvnllis. There is scarcely a trace
of resemblance between the old niueh-
ne and the modern Caligraph. Some
of the parts are of wooii, rendering
khein light for their size. The ribbon
is one inch wide, and the writing com
pletely invisible. The keyboard is of
the doublo system typo. The machine
still does pretty good work for its ex
treme age, although not up to stand
ard on speed.
A comparison of thu number of di
vorces applied for with that of the
number of marriage licenses issued in
Coos county for n year would disclose
a surprise, we predict. The divorce
column may be niHch less in number,
and we hope it is, hut from the vari
ous reports it does seem that cupid is
losing grounds Coos Hay Harbor.
War topics hold the attention of
many a man when lie ought to be split
ting wooil for his wife. It is proper
of course that each keeps in touch
with the terrible strife, but we know
of several instances where it would be
much better for all concerned to have
given the topic n once over", then go
about your work. People should not
lose sight of the fact that we are
Americans and wu should be thankful
we are not mixed in the fight Coot

Promise Railroad
Service February 1
Passenger service to Marshfield Fe
" hruary 1 Promised.
Passenger service into Marshfield
from Eugene by February 1 over thu
new Willamette Pacific Railroad was
promised today at Willamette Pacific
engineering offices in Eugene. In
view of'the nearest $7,000,000 road to
completion, ufter five years of con
struction, the date is regarded as near
authentic as can be estimated.
This will mark the completion of
the lino from both ends to the Ump
qua River, where, it is announced, pas
sengers and baggage will be transfer
red by boat until the completion of the
Umpqua bridge.
At present rails are but 18 miles
apart, with construction under' way
from both ends. Cars nnd locomotives
nrc on hand at the Marshfield end
to handle the traffic, pending the com
pletion of the bridge.
Notwithstanding the recent heavy
weather construction work has been
proceeding rapidly, the only intermis
sions being two short delays caused
by small slides.
Although this is a newly construct
ed line, the heaviest storms with which
this section of Oregon has been visit
ed failed to damage the road at any
point.
At present the line is being operat
ed by the construction department be
tween Eugene and Cushman, where
the- railroad line makes the seventh
and last crossing of the Siuslaw river
turning south to Marshfield and paral
leling the chain of lakes between the
Siuslaw and Umpqua rivers and the
chain of lakes between the Umpqua
and the north inlet of Coos Bay.
The grading of the line is entirely
completed, including all the tunnels
of which there are nine.
The great number and lengths of
trestles where the line crosses the
arms of the lakes and the overflow
lands in the vicinity of Umpqua river
and its tributaries have made progress
slow.
The mile bridge which crosses the
channel at Coos Bay is nearing com
pletion. Work on the seventh crossing of
the Siuslaw river, which is a 286-foot
single track truss-draw span, with
two 200-oot approach spans, and
trestle approaches, is being pushed
with nil haste and bridge steel will be
erected on the bridge by the end of
the year, permitting the operation of
trains over the main bridge instead of
over the "Shoo-Fly," which is at pre-
ent being used for construction pur
poses. Ballasting operations for the track
south of Siuslaw river are being
crowded and the next two weeks will
,ee this track fully ballasted as far as
laid from the Eugene end.

price of the cheapest nnd poorest meat
of any sort.

DEAD OUT OF SEASON
A large forked horn buck was found
dead in the road near the Fish Trap
country yesterday. It had a large
charge of bird shot in its side and had
evidently been potted by some duck
I hunter nnd had run some distance be
fore fulling. It was still warm when
J discovered und likely had only been
dead u few minutes. As it is out of
J senson probably no one wants to claim
the Honor of killing it.
EXPORTS OF SALMON NEARLY
DOUBLE LAST YEAR'S RECORD
Looking at it from every angle the
salmon market is in an unusually
strong position. This is caused by the
fact that the export demand is in con
trol of the cntiic salmon market and
the demand is unusually large. By
way of securing nn adequate idea of
the situation at the present time, at
tention is called to the exportation of
American packed salmon for the first
eight month of this year, compared
with a like period in 1914 and 1913.
The figures follow:
Cases.
First eight months 1915 1,263,902
First eight months 1914 758,707
First eight months 1913 458,473
The export of salmon for Septem
ber and October of 1914 were 422,532
cases. Figures are not yet officially
available for expectations for these
snme two months this year, but
through the port of San Francisco a
lone, for September and the first 20
days of October, exports of salmon
amounted to 400,000 cases. When fig
ures are secured for the remaining 10
days of October for San Francisco, to
gether with shipments through the
ports of this city. Seattle and Asto
ria, all big exports ports, the total will
be a market increase over the Septem
ber and October exports hipmcnts of
a year ago.
The pack of last year of both Ame
rican and Canadian salmon was over
6,500,000 cases, with a carry-over of
1,000,000. Both last year's pack and
the carry-over have been cleaned up.
This shows that the world's consump
tion for tho fiscal year of 1914, which
ended September, 1915, was 7,500,000
cases.
This year's pack is considerably less
than 6,000,000 cr-ses, and there was no
carry-over. Last year the Canadian
pack was about 1,100,000 cases. This
year the total pack of Canada is about
250,000 cases less than last season, all
of which was exported with the excep
tion of a few thousand cases used in
Canada. As a result the increased
consumption this year will fall on the
American pack, and with conditions
throughout the United States consid
erably better than a year ago, and
with business increasing on every side
it is reasonable to suppose the con
sumptive demand this year would und
er ordinary conditions, be far bettor
than 7,500,000 cases. As this is the
total production and salmon is going
into consumption upon a rather elabo
rate scale, the only condition faced is
a likelihood of a shortage of stocks
and high prices.
An advance in Alaska red is looked
for almost any day. The reason for
this is that the big end of the shortage
this year, both in pack and carryover
is represented by red grades.
Flood AffectsC . B. R. R.
The flood condition in the Coquille
River and branches, caused by the
heavy rains of last week reached the
high stage last Friday noon, nnd
Southern Pacific train No. 4, due here
at 12:25, did not get any further than
the Schroeder trestle which was under
water und covered with drift wood.
The Smith-Powers logg.ng train
drawn by engine No. 103 passed over
the line early Friday morning going
to Marshfield, and nil rail trafllc be
tween here and Coquille was suspend
ed till the waters receded Saturday.
The high water has been a boon to
loggers and has started their logs out
of the upper streams earlier in the
season than in sov'cral years. Several
thousand of the Smith-Powers logs
that have been hung up in the Middle
Fork two or three years came out last
week. Out of the North Fork and
Middle Creek, Aasen Bros, and Walt
er Lawhom flo.-.ted about 25,000 last
week and 3,000 fore part of this. And
about 14,000 more now in shape that
they will come down with the next
raise. Myrtle Point Enterprise.
