S. engineer, visited the government works at the mouth of the Coquille sn December, 1882, and to n reporter who called on him on his return from tne uoquuie nc niauu int.- statement: Notwithstanding the severe winter snnsnn. work has continued without serious interuption at the mouth of the river, and the influence of a short and incomplete jetty has been beneficial in a mobl marked degree. Formerly the channel on the south side of tho en trance was tortuous and run through a nest of rocks. A wall of stone run ning out from the main shore, was built, and iUdeflected the ebb currents to the opposite side of he entrance, which is free from rocks. An increas ed depth of two feet has been secur ed, and where the south channel was two years ago, there is now solid ground above high water mark, wash, ed in by the action of the sea. The re sults, though plainly showing the ef ficiency of the jetty arc not so great as they certainly will be when tho work is finished. Cost of the work so far done is less than eight per cent of the estimate of the work completed 1110 coquille river ia uuiuun-n u; finest fir and cedar timber in the state. There is a considerable trade with San Francisco, but as the freight on lumber from tho Coquille is from $2 to more per thousand feet than from Coos Bay only 20 miles further north, profits nre not so large. When tho entrance shall have been impioved so that vessels deeper draft may enter a large and profitable trade must spring up. Two vessels have recently been launched on the river, the Nora Harkins. built at Parkersburg and . . - , , , ,, owned by Capt. Harkins, and another at the Myrtlo Grove sawmill. The former is a small but stout and finely modeled craft, and will immediately enter the San Francisco lumber trado. One or two vessels are on tho stocks nil tho time, and thoro is nctivo busi ness lifo in every quarter. (i A joint banquet for Eugene and Coos bay residents, to celcbrato tho opening of the Willamette racuic railroad, is planned to ho held nt Eu gene some time in January, says the Eugec Guard Olllcials of tho Willamtto Pacific and the Southern Pacific com pany will be guests of honor at the dinner. The plan was suggested by Dr. D. A. Paine at a meeting of tho Eugene Commercial club. In accordance with Mr. Paine's suggestion a committee will be named to consider dates and nrrango details. It was suggested that this banquet bo held before tho first train is run to Marshfield. In this way interest and enthusiasm could bo arrouscd, and it is stated that by the time the first train is actually run to Coos Bay over tho now line, n delegation of Eugene merchants will be ready to make the trip. It was also suggested that the com mittee formulate some definite plans for a celebration to be held on the opening day of the railroad to the pu blic. Just the exact nature of this celebration was not made known, but one similar to the one held when the Orego Electric ran its first twiin into Eugene, will bo planned by the com mittee. Word received by Mnnairer Otto Schetter of tho Western Union Tele- I graph company, last week was to the ' effect that tho new line between Coos Bay and Eugene would bo ready for Stato Rooms With Hun Water.

Wilson, formerly of South Slough, but who has' been ranching on Elk river in Curry county for the past few years, was in town yesterday, having come up the coast for a short visit with relatives and frier.ds. He says that during a moonlight night re cently a panther came to the pasture surrounding his cabin and badly scared his pet mara, but didn't attack it. Gcorga followed the varmit into Hio brush, but failed to get a shot at it. He says that the coyotes are getting numerous in Curry county and arc causing considerable loss to sheep men. o Mnyor Copple announced further appointmoits in the city administra tion on Friday. G. W. Kaufman was named city treasurer at a salary of $150 per year. The street commissi oner's job, plumbing, builder ar.d elec trical inspsctior work aro merged in to one ollicc, to which Carl Albrecht has been appointed at a salary of $90 per month. Wm. Lawhom, who was street commissioner for sevcrr.l years and whose record has been a most cre ditable one, was oiTcrcd the position at the reduced salary of ?90 per month, but informed the mr.yor lie contemplated improving his rr.nch and therefore did not accept. Tho changes made by Mr.yor Copple In this latest appointment will bo n aavmg to the cjty of $870 per year, ?000 of which comes from abolishment of inspection work, etc. o Tho bie-L'est demand for suit cases ever heard of in this neck o'woods was in evidence last week, and all such ar ticles of tho cheaper type were bought up. They were used for removing the remains of John Barleycorn, or rather what remained of John Barleycorn in the wholesale liquor houses and sa loons. There were enough booze taken out to various points in the county, to say nothing, of the stocks stowed away within the city limits, to keep this section of the state in he wet co lumn for some time. n n o Bert Hardcnbrook, who was arrest ed at Marshfield a short time ago charged with appropriating a check whirh li.nl boon lrivon to him in n let ter while in Curry county, ovor a year ago, to mail at Bandon, admitted his guilt to District Attorney Liljcqvist at Coquille on Thursday. The case comes up at tho present term of cir cuit court After cashing the check, Hardcnbrook left tho county and went north, but returned a few weeks ago and stopped with a friend nt South Slough. On coming to Marshfield he was recognized by Ofllccr Richardson, and his arrest followed. County Attorney Johnson addressed the people of Port Orford Wednesday evening last, his remarks being con fined princiiully to an interpretation of tho Sunday closing and prohibition laws which he proposes to strictly en force. Mr. Johnson is a comparative stranger in tho county, especially in Northern Curry, but is a pleasant so cial gentleman, well versed in his of ficial duties, and who will encigeti cally and conscientiously perform them to thc best of his ability, no doubt Ho evidently has warm friends nt court," since it is said that he re ceived this appointment from the governor regardless of n strong pe tition from tho people of the county for the appointment of Hon.

James Pike Of Pikeville By EVERETT P. CLARKE The Pikeville gold Holds were discov ered aud exploited by Jlui Pike, who was as big a rascal as ever lived. There wns not an ounce of gold within two miles of the place except what Jim had put there from some other mine, but It was enough when mixed with a certain red ore there was on tho property he bad staked out to sell to others to convince hungry gold hunters that he had struck It rich. When therefore he gave out that ho had several hundred acres aud couldn't work more than one acre himself every body clamored to buy a small slice of his surplus. It required n lot of per suading to Induce him to sell, and every tlmo ho sold a lot he Beomed to bo heartbroken. "There goes n for tun" ho would say. "Just because I haven't tho funds to get It out o' the ground." Nevertheless Jim wns always per suaded, and If the would be 'purchaser hadn't tho ensh to buy with ho would Just as a favor take anything ho could get. lie sold one man who wns down on his luck a lot (lfty.feet by fifty for n revolver.
