It wrrrld 'l business suicide for the Coi t Mail attempt to niiswcr any one of them. Therefore renders of the Pot may expect these volumns to U free from nnyj.emblaucc j.)f u iiewsivqxir controversy hereafter. Well, here Kies for business suicide, though it does stem almost too had to tnke thnt route out oi the world, jut ns tho paiety of oxUtence hiw been "enhanced by tho ground and lofty tumbling of our esteemed eveJiiug coutvmiximry. We rej.rcHluce below tho Post's article, oatire with our com- ments: The Const Mall i more than a quar ter of n century old. It has been in the daily field for moro thtfu two years. It might wnll le exiected to have a circulation of at leat i,000. But what nre the facts? The weekly circulation of the Coast ' Mail i 149 copies; Thnt statement Is unqualifiedly false, ns the Post should le well awure. Tho'daily circulation of the Const Jlail is a80 copies: ' Thnt statement also is an utter falsehood. And agniu we will call at .tcntiou to the standard of Imsl uss honor involved in the making of thnt statement by the Post. It is of course expected to carry weight be cause the "business manager" of the Post was until recently muployed in the Coast Mail oflice, hut it Is readily Been that, a jctou wlio.-.o moral fibre .would permit him to uu information t'ltiiined iu that way could hardly l V-euded on to tell the truth ulout so that the Po:-t's assertion bears on its fuce the evidence of unrelia bility. TIjo Pobt is 2!l dayn pld today. ITS BONA FIDE CIRCULATION IS EIGHT TIMES THAT OF THE WEEKLY COAST MAIL AND THKEE TIMES THAT OF THE DAILY COAST MAIL. .

Pcrsouiilly we have great mate suuscrner "i n.. j faith in tlielr sanity. When the Coast Mall first secured a press report? The Const Mall has had a press re port from its inception, as every one Snows. Whv is it that the advertising jmt ronnge of tho Post is increasing more rapidly thnn that of any other newspa per luthe stato of Oregon? We have no proof that it is; but ot course an iuorenPe from zero to some thing can not be figured iu percentage; anly an increase from somethlug to in finity could equal it. Probably no paper iu Oregon has an infinite am ount of advertising, though by "swell ronage, with no side lines of grafting or leg-pnlllug to fall back on. The public can rest assured that every one connected with the produc tlon of the pniT is earning every dol lar that he or she gets out of it, hiid right hero tho editor wishes to uinko acknowledgement of his indebtedness to liis assistants for their loyal and In telligent help, without which It would be impossihle to make so good a showing with such 11 small force. A more earnest and interested little ljody of employi-es no mail need to wish for; and if this may U. considered a l)uquet. it is richly deserved 'and is The MAIL has no desire to dictate to North Bend as to how it ahull handle Its own buslnens, but will olalm the right to express nn individ ual opinion. rangements have been completed for the POHTO UlCO'S NEW UOVKKNOll Han Juan Juno !I0 Arrangements on an elalsrato scale are being ing" nnd doubling ns the Post does, tendered in all sincerity. ... ....1 T 1 ... ...1.1 ..Ijrt 1 some of them could make a pretty good stagger at it. Whv in it that the Past circulates in hundreds of homes .in tho Coquillo valley? If true, which Is doubtful, that must Ikj becaui-e tho Post is circulated gratuitously, ns in Marshfield. Whv ia it the ioowle of the twin town prefer The Post to the Const Mail? why do more than twice me oeonle in Mnrshfield read the Post thnt read the Coast Mail? - As to the Pout's "circulation," of como the pajier is run olf on it power pres.-, and ir sent to Marshfield to Ixj thrown into every ojiening that pre sents itself. It may bo "circulated" iu other parts of tho county in tho .nuio way. Nevertheless, the Mail is pretty well informwbns to tin actual numler of copion printed by the Post, ud today will simply iisk, where are those nflidavits of circulation which tho Post promised to make every week? Talk is cheap, but there it a penalty attached to false swearing. Does tho editor or tho "business man ager" of the Post dare to mako and publish affidavit that any ono issue of tho Post haH exceeded 1C00 copies? Does either dare to make nnd publish an affidavit that 'the average numlr printed daily has ededC00 copies? TTt... .1.. Ma'X&mJiSnfnr tliA PnHfc? They don't. Tho piper is thrown SuplKMing "twin town" to refer to Marshfield, the answer to both is easy, and is the same as the answer to the query, "why do oil and water mix readily?" viz: "They don't." Why? That is a llttlo iudeflnate, but we wish to insure the succens of this sui cide by answering each query; so, like Mark Twain, wil lanswer promptly, "We don't know." And now having, presumably, kept oih?u the way for more riH;vspajer con troversy, we will nsk the Post- a question or two: What percentage of the matter published as press dispatch es in Saturday's Post came by wire, and what percentage came by mail from Now York? lHitnotftfactth.it 151 lines were of the latter class, while only 1H7 lines cume by wire and 18 lines of this camo on Friday; leaving only 8'J lines of genuine Saturday's tele- Is it not n fact that the Coast Mail of the same date published l&l lines of genuine press dispatohes coming by It may bo said, also, that with ono exception they have all shown their loyalty to Marshfield and Its paper by declining Mattering offers to leave the COAST MAIL for employment on an- other paper, ouo having U-en colled out of bed late In the evening to listen to a strenuous plea to come to tho other paper tho noxt morning, Iwlng ottered lfi per (hajw), "and he wouldn't have to take half of it out in stock, either". ThoMj things are all very encourag ing, and imtrons of tno MAIL can deiend on receiving the In-xt service that this printing establishment can give them. Whv should L. J. Simeon, who is one of' the heaviest stock holders In the company to which tho ordinance, grants a franchise, refuse to approve that franehbv-'?

Is it not a fact tlmt tho Coast' Mail published dispatches not appearing in tho Post and cover ing tho following items of 1 tho world's news: Fatal Railroad accident on the Big Four Arrival of St. Paul at Nome Plot for jail delivery at Fol- sont prison Destruction of art treas ures by fire at Geneva, Italy Fire at THAT FRANCHISK The Post devotes some space to tho short item apiearing in Saturday's COAST MAIL to tho ettect that a "strong impression" prevailed that Mayor Siiiiiwon would not affix his signature to tho ordinance recently pnsnod by the North Bend city council, granting an exclusive franchise for 60 VEAHS to the North Bend Publish ing Co. for telegraphic and telephone lines in North Bend. 'Die item is inado tho text for a vile attack on L. R. Rolwrtson, manager for tho Pacific States Tol. and Tel. Co. Now Mr. Rolsjrtsou is probably amply able to take euro of himself, and the COAST MAIL has no Inten tion of fighting his battles for him. In fact, wo would ourselves liko to punch his head for not changing our phones to uuother line as we have been urging him to do for the last mouth. However, wo lmvo a great deal of faith iu tho "sound business judge mont," not only of Mayor Simpson, but of tho other leading citizens of North Bend, so when wo wto in formed, by a citizen of North Bend, ed that tho very fact that Mayor Simp son is ono 01 um nenwt n,.i.- holders in tho company to which the ordinance CTitUbt a franchise," .voiild . have tho ettect of deterring hint JCoos county; well located and cheap. through motives of delicacy, from Porter addition to North Bend now - mi tin, miirket. jimiinif the, ordinance, instead 01 , Isdug, as tho Post supistses, an unaits werable argument for his signing it. Mr. Simpson will certainly not thank the Post for its endeavor to place him on a par with tho fellows who ant now being sent to jail in St. Louis. If Mayor SIiiijmou do approve the or dinance tho COAST MAIL will dc cline to nttrlbuto It to any suuh un worthy motifct as those suggested by the Post. Real estate bargains everywhere. I. S.
