The captain was at the wheel at the time, and the
accident appears to Iiavu been an unavoidable
one for which nobody is censurable. The Annie

nnd she also shipped two seas, but escaped with

Some of the people who; went to the Christ
mas tre festival at the Daniel's creek church ex
perienced more difficulty In getting back home
than they anticipated when they started. Among
these were Stephen Rogers and family nnd oth
ers who went with them. After leaving the
church they found the night so dark and the
river so full of logs that they would not Incur
the danger Incident to crossing the stream and
finally camped with a neighbor until daylight
pext morning, when Stephen was enabled to
land hit folks within too feet of his house, In

A Happy New Year,
Eighteen hundred nnd eighty-three Is among
the things that were, nnd the new year, eighteen
hundicd and eighty-four, Is an accomplished
fact. The new date hat n peculiar look, although
It doesn't strike us ns oddly as did the new brjn
die two-cent stamp, which we now can lick the
back of without getting tick nt the stomach and
thinking It must have been gummed with
well, we were speaking of the new-born year,
and will not digress. In many ways, the new
year will be n remarkable one, nnd In many
oilier ways It will not. We feel absolutely safe
in making that astounding prophecy, and we
will wager all the money c receive from that
class of Individuals who never pay their sub
scriptions, that future developments will back up
the assertion. The nvenige young man will,
after sobering up from his New Year's calls, n
point himself n committee of one to draw up the
irgulation-stvle resolutions, nnd then he will
promptly turn over a new leaf (In his mind.) He
will cjult drinking, smoking, chewing, swearing,
playing billiards, nnd In fact all of his bad
habits, and put in his leisure time In the en
deavor to crsuade his girl that It is not whisky
or cigar odor that she smells on his breath when
he kisses her. And when he finally convinces
her that she Is on the wrong scent, nnd she
again resumes her tent by his side, he begins to
breathe n little mora easily; but his situation Is
still a precarious one, nnd fate seems to conspire
to secure his ruin In the ryes of his adored one.
She suddenly concludes to look at his watch and
see Tvl1.1t the hour is; In pulling out his turnip,
she feels something else in his vest pocket and,
with an exclamation of "Oh I what's that?" she
Immediately proceeds to bring it forth. He strug
gles manfully to prevent her, for he knows only
too well what "that" is; but it's no use; so he
braces himself and awaits developments, nnd
when It comes, in the shape of n pool ball or a
beer ticket, if nearly paralyzes him. Hut he is
equal to the emergency; and when he las suc
ceeded In .persuading her to believe that those
were some he "had left" before the rst Inst, and
she resumes 1icr scat, and he wipes away her
(ears, and begins to think that life Is worth liv
ing, after all, nnd but wiy panicularire; in the
iiiitUt of security he Is still In danger. Of all
dangerous things, the New Year's resolutions
are the most dangerous, nnd however, we must
abbreviate. Hurrah for elghty-foufl
List week Randon received quite an accession
to Its population, the newcomers being Thos,
Walker, wife nnd five children, nnd Henry

which place they left on the lath ult., nnd
came via the Northern Pacific. Walker nnd
John I-cwIs are bVothers in-law, having married
sisters. Four of Walker's children arc boys,
James E., the oldest, being bo years of uge, and
i young man who looks as if he osscstcs good
business qualifications. Tn)lorisa jovial gen

with getting into this region, by way of Drain's

'Ihursday, and a good deal ns If he had liad
about enough of it, nnd vet he hadn't tackled
the Isthmus Transit and Heaver slough. We
hould hkc to have seen him just nflcr emerging
from that ordeal, The party went to Koscburg
to tome in over the Coos bay wagon road, but
the stage company declined to give them passage
and they returned to Drain's, which place they
left Christmas morning, in a drenching rain.

'I he rise in South Coos river last week Is re
(oi ted ns greater than any ric of last winter.
Usually North Coos river rise first, but last
seek the south fork came up first This was
die result of 11 heavy snowfall, 8 or 10 miles
4buve McKnight's, which the rain rapidly melted.
Atioui 5000 logs came out of South Coos river.
The only logs left in the stream were 75 br 80
If.longlng to J. W. Judd and Fuller Spraguc,
which became so jammed at the place where
tliey were put in that tliey did not float uway
with thcriso, as their owners expected them to
do. 'I lie boom in South Coos river broke at
midnight on the 34th ult. and let the logs loose
sooner than It vvns intended to run them down;
but the run is rcportid .15 a very successful one,
fer logs from that fork hanging up nlong tlio
river, Down towards the mouth of the river
some logs were blown onto the mud flats, most
OM which were reclaimed by their owners, with
extra trouble and expense. On the cast fork of
North Coos river about 5000 logs were turned
hxec on the 361I1. Altogether, Ithc logs appear
to aavc come very successfully this season from
nil the sources of Coos river.
Ily the freshet in the Coqullle river last week
ahtut 750 logs were carried to sea and lost.
Ab.kt 500 of those were from the south fork,
on illicit stream some 800 got loose nnd went
dan before their owners were ready for the run,
and they succeeded in capturing nnd saving only
uliotjt 300 of the lot. The p.irkersburg mill
lott 350, mostly cedar, and valued at ftooo.
The-.e w ere in tw o rafts that had just been bought
and paid for nnd temporarily boomed outside of
the Main boom of the mill. They disappeared
in the night. It Is supposed that driftwood
broko the loom sticks and turned the logs loose;
but to one saw them go and the cause which
led to their loss Is only conjecture. One of the
rafts W lieen delivered by. Richard Thrush and
the 0 Jier by Peter Cotton.
James Hudd, ihe old gentleman who had his
foot tivvcd off at Coquille City a year or so go,
Is now threatened with Insanity. The violence,

son, patient nt the county hospital, is also sim
ilarly affected, and so was Adam Mendc, anoth

Road Gone
A gentleman who left Roscburg on the morn
Ins of the atlh ult.. to come to this place by
way of Ihe Coos bay wagon road, gives a de
plorable account of the damage to that route by
the fate freshet.
About 16 inches of snow was lying on the
mountain previous to the heavy fall of rain, on
the 34th and 33th ulL, nnd the melting of this
snow, with the rain, is reported to have caused
almost as great a flood and ns much damage to
the road in the canyon and that vicinity as occur
red foor years ngcv
Ileyond Laird's, the road up tho canyon Is
nearly all gone. At Rocky point the road is
washed out for several rods, closa to the bank,
so that the mail carriers are obliged to travel the
mountain trail. In addition to the washouts, a
vast quantity of debrh and driftwood has been
deposited in tho canyon where the road once
was, and It will require the work of many men
for many weeks to remove the obstructions nnd
rebuild the roid, provided the attempt be made,
The road was also damagrd on the eastern
side of the mountain and several of the small
bridges on that side were carried away.
On this side of Laird's, in Drewsler valley, the
Hrutnmlt creek bridge nnd several smaller bridges
are gone, and a land slide swept over and cov.
ercd up the raid in this end of the valley.
Gloyer, the superintendent of the road, Im
mediately commenced repairing damages with ns
arga a force of men ns he could obtain, so that
now the mail is going through on pack animals;
perhaps the only way in which it will be carried
over the mountain for the remainder of the win
ter. The worst interruption we have had on the
road between this place nnd Roseburg for three
years was that of last week, when no mail mat
ter of any kind was received at this postoffice
after Monday until Friday night, when n few
letters came, Saturday night the remnant's of
I ucsuay s mall came In. I his w eck It has been
belter.
Surveyor Wm. Hall, who started fot Roseburg
on the morning of the 33d, rc.lpcd.iill the bene
fits of the storm nnd the flood and remained
weather-bound at Laird's until the morning of
the 37th, when he proceeded on his way devout
ly w ishing he had taken his son's ndvlce and
gone the other route.
A mnn named Joe Wright had n merry Christ
mas In Brewster valley nnd that night attempted
to cross the river on a j tm of driftwood. When
about half-way over, his lantern went out and
his situation became one fraught with sufficient
peril to cause the hair on his head to Imitate the
quills of the fretful porcupine when that quad
ruicd goes to war, In which emergency Joseph
cooncd it up the firt friendly tree he could reach,
nnd there he remained ChrUtmas night, the next
day and the next night, licfore the water sub
sided sufficiently to permit him to descend nnd
nuke his way home. Joe snys no more of such
foolishness for him on Christmas, ns a man up
a tree could not see where the merriment came
In.
Since the foregoing was put in type, "Occa
sional" his sent us the following from Dora:
The storm of last week, on Christmas day, did
considerable damage to the Roseburg nnd Coos
bay wagon road. It washed out the canyon so
that the mail is carried over the old trail. Dead
horse point washed out nnd the llruminltt creek
bridge washed away. They have put three of
the stringers across the bridge, so that horses
can cross. Hrewstcr valley was entirely sub
merged. J. G. Wright "cllm" up a tree and
had to stay there nil night nnd nearly nil the
next day, until the water went do it. A large,!
fir rvot aM'p into we road lA'.tr Hochy point,
nbove the Joe Lett place, nnd blocked It up for
a few days. Wagons cannot travel the road
much nbqvo Dora. The mail is carried on pack
horses. The water was not up to the flood of
four years ago by four feet. The Krantx broth
ers' boom broke nnd let their logs go down
stream. The wind blew down many trees, a
number of which fell across the road.
Capt. Reed has completed the draft of
the new steamer that he is preparing to build
nnd he expects to commence work in the yard
liefore the expiration of this month. The length
of the vessel will be 136 feet; beam aS feet; with
two decks. The lower hold will be 7 feet
nnd the upper 6 feel. She will have accommo
dations for about 40 passengers and carrying ca
paclty of about 400 tons on 9 feet of water. It
is the desire of her owners to have her comple
ted by ihe 1st of July next. She will run ns far
north as Yaquina bay and make semi-monthly
trips to the SiusLiw, the Umyqua and the Co
quille, if the trade of those places will justify It,
and it Is confidently believed that It will. Capt.
Thos, Harklns has a fourth interest in the new
loat and he will be her master. He was in
town Tuesday, consulting with Capt. Reed in
regard to her. When Cnpt. Harklns goes be
low this trip he will carry with him the draft,
and after it has been approved by the men who
are having her built work will begin in the yard.
A brutal fist fight took place alongside our
office after dark Sunday night, tietween two
drunken men, in the presence of a dozen or
more spectators. One of the combatants seemed
to lie so drunk that it was with difficulty here
gained his feet after having been knocked down,
and in the second round he fell into a woodpile,
where his adversary pummeled him unmercifully
until a humane man read the riot act from an
adjacent balcony and put n stop to the proceed
ing. It was very disgusting tp hear some of the
crowd say "Stand back and give them a faff
thowrt", when the poor wretch vvns flat on his
luck Iri the woodpile. 1 f the men w ho w itnessed
and encouraged that fight do not now feci
ashamed of themselves for having done so, they
ought to.
It Is reported that W. H. Noble has taken a
contract to furnish toco piles and r, 000,000 fret
of fir logs to n San Francisco firm, and that the
piles nnd logs will be sent down In rafts, towed
by a lug. The weir And tear and expense in
cldent to sending timber below in this "way
would hardly pay; but piles might be sent that
way cheaper than the lot Sam Davis shipped on
the Fanny Dulard, which were loaded under so
many difficulties and trials and tribulations.
We were told a few days ago that John Kruse
had teceived Instructions from below to run the
North Hend mill on three-quarter time after the
1st Inst and reduce wages accordingly, Kruse
said tliC'Wagcs were already low enough, anil
the inference Is tli.it the mill Is on three-quarter
timent the old v.ages. There must be too
much lumlier nt San Francisco, for there is not
any great glut at North Hend.
A gentleman who lately visited the Insane asy
lum nt Salem says little change for the belter has
taken place with P. F. Christ.il, but his case is
not considered hopeless. Tom Mortimer is bel
ter nnd the physicians nt the asylum expect t
cure him, I. tetter's little girl lias recovered
and she returned to her home nt or in the vicinity
of Myrtle llnt week before last.

CORRESPONDENCE.
South Coos River Itcmi.
To the Editor" of the COAST MAIL !
Christmas Is over, and a great many did not
enjoy themselves un account of the sudden rise
In the river, which was bank full. All the logs
above tide water came out, and with them a
greol ileal of driftwood, which has left the river
In good condition for logging next season.
All enjoyed themselves at the Christmas tree
at the Moshcr chapel, notwithstanding the bad
weather we experienced at the time. The pro
gramme consisted of dialogues, declamations
nnd essays, which were the best we have heard
on Coos river. The scholars of Qulnn college
deserve great credit for the parts they performed
on the occasion. ITiey are progressing finely
under, teacher Sherwood.
The unanimous verdict Is that our Christmas
tree was one of the nicest ever gotten up nnd
decorated In a country settlement of this or any
Other neighborhood and that the exercises of the
evening would have compared favorably with
thoe enjoyed by any of our more pretentious
ncighliors. ""
Here our correspondent gives an account of
the drowning of Fitzgerald, substantially the
same as that published by us last week, nnd
winds it up thus: I It seems he was drunk. How
sad to Ihlnk that he should lie ushered into eter
nity in such n condition I 01 Coos river, Is the
untimely death of this man to be Liid to your
charge? We hope and trust not. The gambling
dens nnd saloons of the country cannot feel
proud of this example of one of the consequences
of their existence. What a warning to others'
who worship nt the shrine of Racchusl Shun
the intoxicating bowl as you would your bitterest
enemy. If you value your future happiness,
shun It. If you value your life, shun it.
Minnie May need not think that we deplore
the loss of the "School Girl." You are right.
Minnie; there are just as good fish in the sea as
were ever caught, and plenty of school girls left;
but T already have a beau, Freddy, and I see no
hope for any others, unless I "go west."
We are nil sorry to hear of the severe illness
of old Mrs, Luse, and hope that she may soon
recover.
Miss tna Hodson has returned to her home,
looking splendid, nfter a visit of several months
with her reLitlvcs at Salem.
Had colds prevail with almost everybody here
abouts, but we anticipate good weather and bet
ter health by and by. jKKsr.v I.ILY.

Fatal Accident Near Drain.
W. E. Palmer, proprietor of the new
saw mill nt Drain's station, was instantly
killed on thcaCth ult., by a falling limb from
a tree, while running logs on a tributary of Pass
creek. The limb was it small one, which fell
from the top of a tall fir tree, while Palmer was
standing on the bank, pushing logs. The wind
was blowing a gale at the time. Deceased was
an energetic business man nnd will be much
missed In the social and business circles at
Drain's. He w.u about 30 years old, nnd
leaves a wife nnd two children. He was a native
of Douglas county; son of P. P. Palmer of Scotts-
burg and a brother of Mrs. Capt. Hill of North
Hend.
A correspondent of the Douglas Independent
gives nn account of the accident somewhat dif
ferent from the foregoing, as follows:
The Palmer brothers bought the steam saw
mill at Drain two years ago, from J. D. Johnson.
They got their logson Sandy, n small creek that
empties into Pass creek three miles above Drain.
List winter they did not get ail their logs out of
Sandy creek, owing to a ced.ir tree falling before
the logs w hen they were moving ' down. By the
time the tree was gotten out the creek fell too Ion
to float the logs. Willi all their bad luck last
winter, they hive by close attention to business
nnd hard work made several thousand dollars.
They had more logs cat last summer, and on
Christmas had 1C00 or 1800 logs on Sandy.
Christmas morning? at 3 o'clock, the Palmer
brothers and hired men started the logs at day
light and were succeeding well. The brothers
were very much elated, ns they felt certain of
making a small fortune next summer. W. E.
Palmer bad been on the logs, but stepped ashore
and was watching his brothers on the floating
logs, when the dead top of a maple tree broke
off and struck him on the head, killing him in
stantly. The left side of his head was crushed,
although the skin was not broken. W. E.
Palmer vns a young man of more than ordinary
intellect nnd superior qualifications; very indus
trious and enterprising. During his two-years
stay with us he proved himself honest and gener
ous. His death Is a loss to the country as well
as well as to his family and friends. The Land
marks of his energy, industry and enterprise
still remain.
Settle and Save Costs.
Persons indebted to me are requested to come
forward and settle their accounts before the 1st
