"It Is remarkable that birds are
so intelligent. when they're so small
isn't it?" asked one member Of the
Easy Information Club of her closest
friend as they walked home together
from a talk on "Our Home Birds"
Yes, isn't IT," assented the friend
eagerly. "Why. just think even how
very clever the little cuckoos In

SEVERE STORM
SWEEPS COAST

The severest storm of the season,
and possibly the severest we will
have, has been visited upon us the
past few days. Since Saturday. with
the exception of a portion of Mon
day, it has rained incessantly, the
result being that the river Is at alb
normal height and both benefit and
Injury has been occasloned. The
benefit consist in the vast number OF
logs that have been moved from their
summer lodgings and the injury
might be summed up in damaged
roads and bridges, destroyed fencing
and drift-scattered lands. Communi-
cation, too, has been partially shut
on, at least by rail, and the mails
from Roseburg have been overdue
when they arrived.
The river has attained a height
seldom equaled, and at this writing
Thursday, 1t is within two feet of
reaching the high water mark of
January last. All the low lands are
flooded and the rains continue with
no present indication of a clear-up.
Trains were unable to go farther
than Coquille Monday( though Tues
day train ran as far as Johnson's
mill to get passengers brought down
from the Point by steamer Since
Tuesday no trains have even reached
Coquille from Marshfield, passengers
being compelled to go by boat be-
tween here and John Yoakam's
place. Tn etracks are under water at
place both north and south of Co
guile. Work on the new city wharf
had to cease Saturday last, and yes
terday the newly driven piling was
completely covered.
Word comes from Gravel Ford
that five miles of logs are jammed In
the river at that point. Word also
comes that the North Fork wagon
bridge, this side of Myrtle Point, Is
in a shaky condition, and that the
county bridge at Mlnard's mill on the
East Fork threatens to momentarily
go out because OF the great quantity
OF logs collected behind Il. Sunday
evening. fearing that the river booms
would be overtaxed by the rush,
parties secured a crew and establish
cd n boom south OF town collecting
some 5000 logs by the operation.
Two days later, on advice from down
stream, the logs were released. II
is not known that any logs have gone
over the bar.
On Wednesday, while the home of
Chas. Everenden a mile west of town
was surrounded by water, Il was
feared that his little child, almost
dead with fever. would have to be re-
moved In a boat, as the water SEEM
ed steadily rising. Fortunately,
however, there was not sufilcIent fur

Gay forenoon Mr.. Haskell came to him
anu asked him if the steamboat COM
pany had any right to prohibit him
| from going on to Gray's wharf. Mr..
Gray said that he. told him that he did
not believe the company could forbid
him from going on the wharf as long
as he behaved himself in an orderly

| Attorney Dutton argued that as th.,

| boat Co, was a common carrier Mr..
Haskell had perfect right to go on
the wharf and solicit business in an
orderly manner The rights of the
company to the wharf We're not 'ex-
| elusive. He alluded to the second
| charge, that of being a common railer
| and brawler, as trivial and brought up
because the prosecution did not hope
to convict on the first charge.
Attorney Atkins argued that "a man
might go legally and lawfully upon
certain premises and there commit an
Illegal act and become Il trcspasser
He argued that as the steamboat COM
pany owned the shoe and platform they
had a right to say who should drive up
against the platform and who should
not and who should pass along the
platform. He said that language such
as the witnesses testified Mr.. Haskell
used was not trivial but had time and
again caused bloodshcd and cvGn muir
der.
Judge Larrabcc ruled that language
such as the witnesses testified that Mr..
Haskell used was sufficient to make
him Il trespa upon the wharf and
that tho company was within its rights
in ordering him off. He also ruled
that the acts of the respondent as tcs-
tilted to without contradiction were
sufficient to constitute him IL common
raier and braWler within the meaning
of the statute.

BALL TEAM A SUCCESS.
PLAYERS Work Well Together and Re-

The feeling in camp seems to be pretty

various men who have played on the
team for the hard and urseltish work
which they have done to promote its sue
cess. Everyone has been willing to play
anywhere that he might be asked or not
at all as seemed to best serve the inter-
ests of the team.
Eighteen scheduled games have been
played thus far this season, no offer to
play with any team being refused when
