What has become Of all our
country correspondence Give us
the best you can boys, your items
beats ours too bad. Come as often
rs you can, even if your items are
few.
a number of spars or small piling
have drifted in on the north beach
at Newport recently. They are
from 90 to 80 feet long and are fine
pieces of timber. 1t is thought by
some that they are n part of the
famous Coos bay raft.
The St. Johns church bell has ar
rived in good shape but has not
yet been put in place. 1t was ac-
companied by liie-sized freight
bill, which is causing the good
church people to hustle to raise the
shekels to satisfactorily liquidate
the same.
We understand that when w. S.
Hufford was III the other day on
the Grady road matter, he made an
offer to compromise OH behalf of
Grady. The terms, we understand,
was that Grady give up all right to
a twenty five feet next TO Copeland $
store and that the county thcreupon
surrender all claims to the balance
claimed.
We have heard of many cost
sales before, but ii has never been
our good fortune to run across
many such cost sales as Is now go-
ing on at the popular clothing and
furnishing store OF Luke O Brien $,
at Vaquina. The cost with this
sale is the cost of both buyer and
seller He is doing this ;a order
to wofHHAoT the balance of a large
winter stock and make room for
his spring stock, which will arrive
about the Ist of March. We be-
lieve that there are Just as good
bargains on his counters as can be
found in Portland or San Francis
60.
Robert Campbell went 10 New
port on the first of the week, and
returned by the Shaw coal mine.
He brought us q sample of the coal
that they are taking out Of the mine,
and in appearance Il is as fine a
sample of coal as we ever saw in
any country. 1t very much re,
sembles the famous Pittsburg soft
coal OF Pennsylvania, and is remark
able for itScleanliuess. In handling
il with the bare hands no black or
sooty spots or marks are made, and
parties who haveOried it say that it
burns as clean aud free from SCOT as
it handles, They also say that it
burns mp free from cinders There
san be no question but that it is a
,ool OF superior quality aud that it
t,Sili be a cogent factor in the detel-
{ opment Of our country The
company are working right along
at the mine getting things in shape
10 supply the market with coal. II
the whole product of the mine Is a,
good as the sample brought us W,
predict that inside of two years Il
