Mail Matters.
It Is expected that Postmaster Gon
oral Vilas will bo brought up with a
round turn by this congress, and ho
ought to bo. Wo hope to see hlrn get It
In tho neck, and got it good, too. One
of Vilas' economical pranks has beon
tho discontinuance of the daily mall
service between this placo and Coiiillo
City. This was a movement in the
wrong direction. Instead of being dis
continued, tho route should have been
continued and oxtended to Myrtle Point,
Tho cost of tho Bervico to tho govern
ment was only a trifle, while tho benefit
to tho pooplo was vory great. This Is a
piece of tho reform of this administra
tion that bits us at homo and can bo
duly appreciated by our citizens, Irre
spective of party adulations. If the
democrats who carry tho mails can
stand tho parsimony of their postmaster
general, tho republicans ought to. But
Vilas is maklmr himself altogether too
fresh In his attempts to put his dopart
mont on a paying basis immediately af
ter tho great reductions In postago just
made by a republican administration,
whereby letters nro carried at two cdnts,
Instead of three and four cents, prior to
last July, and nowspapers at a half less
than over beforo, to say nothing of the
many other sweeping reductions mado.
Vilas la oil"; he is cranky, nnd has no
business in any man's cabinet. Cleve
land should fire him out without delay,
for Vilas deserves dismissal alone for
his refusal to carry out tho law passed
at tho last session of congress in regard
to tlio carrying of our foreign malls. Be
cause tho law was not mandatory, Vilas
ignored it. Under his policy, wo would
soon bo without any foreign mall ser
vice at all, while the home service would
speedily become a shabby ono. Like
most political reformers, Vilas is a bum
bug, and won't do.
Vilas Reconsiders and the Coquille
Route Continues.

E. A. Anderson has the boss racket
for handling coal and ho authorizes us
to say that no other dealer in town will
bo permitted to undersell him. Recent
ly Anderson had piles driven at tlio
northern terminus of Front street and a
shed erected thoro, under which he
moors his largo scow, holding from GO
to 70 tons of coal. Strong gates prevent
ourselves and other neighbors from
sampling Iho quality of the coal at will,
and a substantial apron leads from the
street to tho scow, and when tho owner
of tho coal-yard desires to haul, ho
drives his teams aboard tho scow and
loads, thus avoiding all unnecessary
handling of tho coal, wborcby bo saves
not only in labor, but in tho large per
centage that is lost by -too much hand
ling, and then tho coal is cleaner. It is
tho true business, und no mistake, and
if you want coal cheap, Anderson says
to seo him.
Tho Ellensburg correspondent of tho
Rccordor says "R. D. Hume has opened
his heart enough to give tho public a
right of way 30 feet wide across tbe
frontago opposito tlio Pioneer saloon."
Wo consider that vory magnanimous in
Humo. If 30 feot bo not wide enough
for tho customers of that saloon to reach
it and get away without falling against
tho barbed-wiro fence, tho proprietor of
tho saloon certainly noils a vory bad
article of tanglo-Ieg whisky, and his
licenso to do so should bo rovoked.

Little Ned Tower bad another Invol
untary bath in tho bay one day last
week. Ho was circusing around and
teetering on that pile of lumber on the
wharf between the Bon Ton saloon and
Dean & Go's storo, when by Homo mis
calculation his end of tho board went
down too quick and too far and he went
headforemost into the deepest kind of
water. Anson Rogers happened to be
closo at hand in his small boat and he
grabbed Ned and took him nshoro and
then to his lather down the street, after
which Ned nnd his pap had a, spirited
argument as to tho propriety and im
propriety of such conduct as Ned in
dulged in along tho water front. The
only thing bad nbout tho accidont that
Ned could see was tho wetting of his
clothes and the trouble that might en
tail at home. As to drowning, that was
a preposterous idea. Ho had been in
tho bay three or four times beforo un
der similar circumstances and had got
out every time, by hook or crook, and
bo could do it again. But the old man
got the best of tho areutppnt; only,
however, because he js bigger than Ned ;
and now Ned's perambulating premises
do not include Front street and the
water front, and still ho isn't happy, for
it looks to him as if ho is to bo kept
away from tho water until he learns to
swim.
Geo. Davis is ono of the busy men of
MarsbGcld. Times are never so hard
nor dull that he has nothing to do. In
fact, dull times appear to water on his
wheel every time. He buildB scows and
schooners, steamboats, big boats and
little boats, or any kind of a boat that
any man wants him to build, and when
he needs business lie makes it. He
builds houses, buys bouses, moves
houses nnd swaps, or does any thing else
with a hocfie that any man wanln him
to do, provided the man puts up for it.
Only n few days ago Davis launched the
steamer Satellite from tho ways at the
ship-yard, and now ho has a schooner
on the ways and two two-story bouses
nt tho yard on their way to Aaronville.
Thoy will be put on scows, taken to
Aaronville and located on the bench
there as Boon ns tho weather will permit.
Ono of tho houses is 20x30 and the
othor 24x24. Thoy belong to E. B.
Dean & Co. Ono is tbo house that
caught tiro near the stavo mill tbe other
day and tho other is tho houso that
stood immediately north of it. Only a
short timo ago it was diflicult to rent a
houso In this town. To eco them now
being moved away looks as if times have
changed somewhat.
Victor Ericson, of North Bend, waB
bitten by a tarantula scorpion, or some
othor very poisonous insect. Ho was
Bleeping in ono of tho bouses nt North
Bend and was awakened by a stinging
sensation near the wrist of tho left arm.
He thought at first he had stuck a
splinter in tho part. Tho arm rapidly
swelled until it was more than twico its
usual size, nnd bo was in a very critical
condition for many days; but bo is now
in tliis placo, under Dr. Tower's care,
and is improving. Tho skin has gono
from tho entire forearm and some of
tho muscles nre sloughing away. Eric
son will probably como out of it, with an
arm somewhat impaired, after a long
sickness.
Tlio steamers Arago and Areata carried

supposed to bo sent for tbo purposo of
giving to tho peoplo of Boston an ocular
demonstration of tho size nnd quality of

Hnden & Young's Notice.
Owing to tho loss of our manufactory
in the late fire, and our intention to
purchase new machinery, wo aro com
pelled to call on those in arrears to set
tlo up at their earliest convenience. Wo
hope this requost will bo promptly com
plied with, as the money is needed im
mediately. Hodun & Youno.
The total amount of money appropri
ated from tbo treasury of the stato by
tho legislature at its late special session
was $71,343 50. Of this total, fl5,000
goes for tho construction of a wagon
road to tho Pine Creek mines, $10,000
for a bridge across Rogue river at Grant's
Pass and $10,000 for tho caro of non
resident poor in various counties of the
state. The lion's sharo oi this goes in n
lump to Baker county in payment ot an
old claim. Tho general appropriation
bill as it passed footed up $30,343 50, of
which nearly half goes for deficiencies of
one char.tctor or another and for im
provements nt tho asylum and peniten
tiary. Tho cost of tho extra session is
estimated at $10,000, and that amount
was appropriated to pay tho bills, not
all of which aro in. Tho estimates wero
vory closo, and every dollar provided
and possibly moro will bo required to
settlo all dues. Besides these matters,
a contract was autborizod with nn elec
trio company to light tho stato houso,
asylum and penitentiary and tho
grounds about them by eloctrlcity for
$0000 por year for ten years. There
was no provision for the payment of any
part of this contract money. This, wo be

and diminution of tho common supply
