Nosler in saving the dwelling.      The tug, Katie Cook, has been gotten off the sand spit and taken up to the Bandon wharf, and there put on the ways for repairs.  She is doubtless in running order by this time.  Mr. Cook had been sent as a messenger for a tug to Rogue river, but it is to be hoped he will fail to get one, as it would be an unnecessary expenditure.  + =   Other-mining gold mineral geology Lhc-lay-land locale-CoosCounty Locale-CurryCounty locale-SalmonGulch Locale-SixesR Srh-river Srh-SixesR politic lifestyle-indir health-treatment?

Passing further west to the south fork of Sixes, we see a great change in both the geological formation and ledges.  This appears at one time to have been at one time a vast bed of shale, which in most places has been hardened by heat.  It is bounded on the west by greenstone; on the south and east by granite; the tops of the highest peaks being capped with conglomerate.  There is a ledge running for miles through this canyon; at some places where the formation is firm it crops out at the surface, at other places where the formation is not firm it can only be followed by the sulphuret [sic] of iron where it has steamed up through the rocks.  That this is a true fissure is shown from the fact that it has come from the fires below.      Professor Denton in his lectures on geology, on page 101, says:   The vapor of sulfur coming in contact with the vapor of iron, has produced the sulfate of iron, and we are told that “auriferous ledges containing sulfates may always be relied on to improve with depth.”  And further, that, “the vapor of gold coming up with and being so much heavier then the vapor iron, the gold has either not risen so high, or has sunk lower, hence this class of ledges always [sic] improve with depth.”      Gold has been found in this particular ledge, wherever it crops out, and I am told that essays [sic] on rock have been all the way up to $78 per ton.  The writer found at one place, gold as coarse as small wheat grains, at another place it was fine as flour.  This ledge has nowhere been prospected to any extent – it has been dug into at several points, and pieces of rock carried away, but I believe no one has tapped it 25 feet below the surface.  If a company could be formed to strike it with a tunnel a few hundred feet below the surface, as it easily might be at certain points, the probability is it [sic] would prove valuable, give work to a vast number of men, and bring wealth to its owners.         Respect fully,             C.

Literary?  Misc-word-fugleman  Nn32 CCH July 1, 1884  SALUTATORY.  [sic] [head; bold; centered, wide margins.]       In accepting a position on this paper, and in assuming a portion of labor necessary to its production as a journal of general news, we are forcibly reminded of the magnitude of the undertaking, when our inexperience in such matters is taken into consideration.       We approach it with some diffidence, and doubt as to the final result.  But, amidst this fog of uncertainty, there is a ray of genial sunshine.  We have been received by all with whom we came in contact, upon our arrival in this part of Coos county, with great kindness, and it will be our study to preserve that feeling by every legitimate effort, making no more than the generous forbearance of a discriminating public for one who is about to engage, for the first time, in a profession fraught with innumerable difficulties and where it becomes impossible to please all.      Heretofore, it has been both our disposition and delight to be an independent fugleman [sic], firing right and left, front or rear, whenever we saw, after due reflection, an opportunity to correct an abuse.      While we have been but an humble laborer in the vineyard of literature, still, we have aspired to a position –tho’ [sic] it be but a subordinate one – in the ranks of that great institution which is the true disseminator of civil and religious liberty – The Republic of Letters.      Now, the aspect is somewhat changed, and the line drawn, from which there must be no deviation.  We have always been inclined to the opinion that the people have reserved rights, and that no lasting benefit, no permanent reform can be obtained by attacking these rights vindictively.  Domestic evils may be innumerable, still, we ought to consider before fighting them with methods that provoke retaliation.  The application of moral force, example and kindred efforts of a peaceful nature, have more influence over the average biped than all the tyrranic [sic] and fanatical laws that were ever enacted.  We may be justified in attacking the foreign enemy with whatever weapons are available, but, [sic] the domestic enemy deserves more consideration; the restraining efforts must be calculated with due regard for the result.      Nothing of a political nature, advocating the interest of this or that party, enters into the columns of this paper, consequently, there will be no diversity of or division in opinion with regard to such matters published.  There will be a division of profits, providing there may be any profits; but, the tenure which a newspaper holds on that essential prosperity is, undoubtedly, precarious.      While we may be unable to supply our readers with a thrilling amount of wisdom, or overpowering wit, we shall endeavor to give them the latest items of news and such items of a miscellaneous character as will be appropriate for reading in the family.      In conclusion, we beg leave to say that, we are neither a recondite [sic] scholar nor an irretrievable dunce.  In our creed there is an article in which we have implicit faith, and that is, we are never too old to learn.  Our aim will be, simply, to do what is right in promoting the welfare of the community and in aiding to make the HERALD a successful candidate for public favor.         Robert Starkey.  [+]   paper paper-attitude? paper-rivalry Name-Starkey character? Saying  Nn32 CCH July 1, 1884       We feel greatful [sic] to the News for its very flattering remarks, altho’ [sic] they were a little “too previous;” as we were not quite certain as to the position in which Mr. Dean would place us.  You forgot our request, Gus.  Be careful in the future, or it may become necessary to pay you a visit.  Remember, that, “when Greek meets Greek, then comes the tug of war.”  + = Saying health-accident Locale-UtterCity Locale-Isthmus RR-ITRR condit paper-attitude  Nn 33 CCH July 1, 1884  “Sufficient for the day is the evil                  thereof.” [Headline, bold, same size type as article]      The logic of the above maxim may be considered doubtful.  It may be sufficient for to-day, yet productive of  direful consequences to-morrow.  Notwithstanding this fact, there are many people who seem to abide with it as a text to be construed for their especial [sic] benefit.  For the evils of the day, there will certainly come a day of reckoning.  In traveling over the Utter City railroad, and observing the thoroughfare, the possibility of an accident occurring and in a moment, is painfully apparent.  When a few victims have been offered up – immolated on the altar of recklessness, there will be loud wailing and gnashing of teeth. [sic]  Someone has said that,  “It is never too late to mend;” but, if an accident occurs, the damage will be followed with damages for neglect.  We may consider the fact that, [sic] the travel does not pay the expense of repair, but we also take into consideration the fact that this does not absolve the proprietor from responsibility.  Something ought to be done in the matter.  [+] Tot-Empire book salesman politic saying?  Nn33 CCH July 1, 1884  R.

Entertain  Nn34 CCH July 1, 1884        The Fourth of July is now at hand, and a few words may be opportune.  When we take into consideration the trials and tribulations of the Revolutionary Fathers – the ordeal of famine, fire and blood, through which they passed, in order that their descendents should enjoy the blessing of freedom, it becomes our duty to remember them with grateful feelings.  The firing of cannons, the march and display, the sounds of revelry at night, and all the external evidence of heartfelt joy should be coupled with the memory of their sufferings and the overwhelming debt we owe them.  There are many who forget while enjoying the benefits, the indomitable [sic] patience and perseverance of those who produced them.  Hoping that each feature of the celebration will be carried to a successful issue, we wish you a happy and enjoyable Fourth.  + Climate Locale-CoosCounty?

They avoid in their riper years their parents’ crime, from that detestation out of it which they contracted in their earlier years.  In childhood, on first beholding the effects of drunkenness, we are stricken with astonishment, that a rational being should be thus changed, and be induced to make himself the object of scorn and contempt.  The drunkard teases you with his impertinence – mistakes your meaning and hardly knows his own. At times he falters in his speech; unable to get through an entire sentence; his hands trembling; his eyes swimming; his legs too feeble to support him; until at length, you can only know the human creature by his shape.  I cannot but add that were a person of sense to have a just notion of all the silly things he says or does, of the wretched appearance he makes in a drunken fit, he would not want a more powerful argument against repeating the crime.  But as none of us are inclined to think ill of ourselves, so none of us will think our vices expose us.  We allow them excuses, which they meet, not from any but ourselves.  This is the case with all, and it is particularly the case with drunkards; many of them would undoubtedly reform, could they be brought to conceive how much they do of which they ought to be ashamed [sic].  In the language of the poet:  “O wad some power the giftie gi’e us, To see oursel’s as ithers’ see us.”      Nor is it improbable that it is its very consideration, how much drunkenness contributes to make a man the contempt of his wife, his children, his servants, and the great amount of sorrow to his parents, and to sober spectators, which hath proved the cause that it hath seldom been the reigning vice of any people possessed of refinement of manners.      Drunkenness prevails most among the savage and uncivilized; amongst those of rude understanding and less delicacy of sentiment.  Crimes, as there are in men, there must be in all nations, but the more civilized, have perceived drunkenness to be such an offense against common decency, such a prostitution of one’s self to the ridicule and scoffs of the meanest, that in what ever else they might transgress, they would not do it in this particular way, but leave a vice so degrading to the wild and uncultivated portion of mankind.      (Continued next week.).  [+] natl-filler trusts govt invest condit correspond patriotism judge crime?

David Davis, once a judge of the Supreme Court, now a senator, of the United States, indicates the serious nature of the problem before us:      “Great corporations and consolidated monopolies are fast seizing the avenues of power that lead to the control of the government.  It is an open secret that they rule states through procured legislatures and corrupted courts; that they are strong in Congress, and that they are unscrupulous in the use of means to conquer prejudice and acquire influence.  This condition of things is truly alarming, for unless it be changed quickly and thoroughly, free institutions are doomed to be subverted by an oligarchy resting upon a basis of money and of corporate power.”      The present secretary of the Anti-Monopoly League, says:      “The channels of thought and the channels of commerce thus owned and controlled by one man, or a few men, what is to retain [sic] corporate power or to fix a limit to its reactions upon the people?  What is then to hinder these men from depressing or inflating the value of all kinds of property to suit their caprice or avarice, and thereby gathering into their own coffers the wealth of the nation?  Where is the limit to such a power as this?  What shall be said of the spirit of free people who will submit without a protest to be thus bound head and foot?      Hon. Jeremiah S. Black, ex-judge of the Supreme Court and ex-attorney general of the United States, recently stated:      “All men must take their side on this question.  There can be no neutrals.  He that is not for us is against us.  We must have legal protection against these abuses.  This agitation once begun, and the magnitude of the grievances being understood, it will force our rulers to give us a remedy against it.  The monopolies will resist with all their arts and influence, but fifty millions of people, in process of time, will learn the important fact that they are fifty millions strong.”       Governor Gray, of Indiana, in a message to the legislature of that state in January last, said:      “In my judgment the republic cannot live long in the atmosphere which now surrounds the ballot-box. Moneyed corporations, to secure favorable legislation for themselves, are taking an active part in elections by furnishing large sums of money to corrupt the voter and purchase special privileges from the government.  If money can control the decision at the ballot-box it will not be long until it can control its existence.”      This is in entire accordance with the views of  Daniel Webster, who said:      “The freest government cannot long endure, where the tendency of the law is to create a rapid accumulation of property in the hands of few, and to render the masses of the people poor and dependent.”      The press, with the exception of that portion which is owned or subsidized, are with the people in this fight.  The New York Times [times is italicized] (Rep), under date of May 19, in an article regarding the encroachments of corporate power, says:      “It is not only absorbing to self the fruits of labor and the gains of trade and piling up wealth in the hands of the few, but it is controlling legislation and endeavoring to sway the decisions of courts to its own interest.  We are now in a stage in the contest where the people may vindicate their authority and place these corporations under the recognition of law.”      The Brooklyn Daily Eagle [Daily Eagle is italicized] (Dem), in a recent editorial said:      “There is pretty general feeling that the continent of America was not discovered by Columbus, and civil liberty established by the fathers of the republic, to the end that fifty millions of people might be made tributary to a band of railroad magnates, or that farmers, artisans and merchants might, by hard work [sic] and keen competition raise up a dozen Vanderbilts, with each several hundred millions of dollars [sic? Illegible].  Those who entertain this feeling have become persuaded that the time has come for the industrious masses of this country to protect themselves, if they ever intend to do so.  It will certainly not be easier after the adversary becomes stronger.  In this contest every delay is to the disadvantage of the people.  Let the issue be deferred a few years, and nothing but a miracle or a revolution as violent as that of France will overthrow the oppression.  Of all misleading delusions, there is none more mischievous than the notion that popular suffrage and popular power are synonymous.  Given the means of bribing multitudes, of intimidating others of wrecking opponents [sic], coupled with actual possession of the government, and adverse sentiment must be paralyzed.  If the suffrage is to be our salvation, it must be applied sharply while there are still odds on the side of unbought and unterrorized manhood [sic].”      A hundred columns might be filled with similar expressions from newspapers published in all parts and now on file at the office of the national anti-Monopoly League.  Comment is needless. The public welfare is in danger, and the influence of every patriotic citizen is invoked to avert it.                                          Respectfully, &c.,                                       L.

Adequate to complete our breakwater  It need not surprise us to know that other sections of our country receive the strictest attention; the cause is apparent, and “he who runs may read.”  The great influence exerted in congress by eastern members, particularly those of New England, has made indelible lines in the history of legislation.   In the interest of that section, the , approximately government has paid approximately one dollar apiece for all the codfish caught in the north Atlantic.  A wise policy would be to foster improvements in every section, commensurate with their importance.  Questions of a political nature ought to have no influence in such matters; but, unfortunately, they possess great weight with political parties in our country.      A different course is pursued by the European powers.  There, the traveler is impressed with the magnificent works of art, docks, lighthouses and other internal improvements projected, erected and completed without regard to the petty jealousy of this or that section of the country, or the selfish aims and corrupt schemes of any party.  This is but poor philosophy which reaches no further than the necessities of the day.  The true economist looks not only at the present, but provides for the future by cultivating measures that will be a lasting a benefit to future generations, and that they may profit by emulating a good example.  + Lbr mill-PugetSound OT-PugetSound OT-Panama-Canal Srh-PanamaCanal Srh-trade condit state-rivalry?

L. Pape in splendid drum major uniform, led the procession.  Next came the Grand Army of the Republic.  “The boys in blue,” though not in uniform made a fine display.  Next came the school children – a veritable swarm of butterflies.  Each scholar had a motto on a white sash, and was carrying a flag.  They were ranked according to stature, ranging from a “bean pole” [sic] to a duck’s knees  -- little Icy Snow March bringing up the rear.  Behind the school came the Good Templars.  They like all the other lodges represented marched in regalias [sic].  Following the Good Templars came the Sisters of Rebekah.  The ladies were elegantly dressed and made a fine appearance.  Next came the Odd Fellows, and lastly the crowd – a mixed multitude.  The procession marched around a block and came back to place of forming and then counter marched [sic] to the grove.  There the usual exercises were dispersed with.  The music was excellent, the recitation of Independence superb and the oration Grand.  The recitation was something new in this part, and Mr. Gray left the usual beat of orators and gave us something new and rich.  Although the crowd was three times what was really expected, all acknowledge the basket dinner was sufficient.  After dinner, a base ball [sic] game between the boys and the married men was indulged in which resulted in a victory of two points in favor of the men.  Spectators clam that a mistake on the part of the umpire made a material change in the results.  The foot race was next in order.  Peter Cotton won the men’s, and John Leneve the boy’s [sic] race.  Mrs. Lucas won the prize in the ladies’ race, while Peter Cotton won the 15 minute go-as-you-please race.  The wheelbarrow race was won by Everett Harmon, who also got second prize in the go-as-you-please race.  The sack race was won by Charley Barrows.  The tub race was won by Otto Willard and he also got the prize for walking the greased pole, there being no competition, owing to the extreme hight [sic] of the pole above the water.  The fat man’s race was won by Harvy [sic] Schweers, the Herald editor flying the track [sic].  The balance o f the afternoon was spent in horse racing.  Every minute of the time had to be utilized to get through with the exercises before night.  The ball at night was a grand affair, the upper and lower halls of the Odd Fellow’s building were used.  There were 184 tickets sold and many more would have been, had there been more room for dancing.  Good credit is due the different committees, the president of the day, and marshal [sic] and also Dr. Drew for conducting the barbecue and E. B.

HERALD:      W. H. Brown, the great ship-builder of the Novelty yard, New York city, was a poor boy from Connecticut, who worked for my father in 1828.  He got his start in New York and built the steamship Southerner for the Charleston S. C. trade.  He also built the Atlantic, 4000 tons.  George Steers, of Williamsburg, built a pilot boat for the Sandy Hook pilots, and they seeing his ability, gave him a start.      He built the Yacht [sic], America, which won the Queen’s cup, and the clipper ship Young America.  The fame of McKay, well known to the world, needs no commentary.  Now, in approaching our own section, we come to Mr. C. Danielson of the Coquille river.  The first vessel that he built was the schooner Coquille.  The next was the Danielson, and now he is building another.  These vessels are, more or less, flat bottomed, but the present one so nearly resembles a sharp schooner that when she is launched it will be difficult to distinguish the difference.  Her model is perfect.  Length of keel, 100 feet; breadth of beam, 30: [sic] depth of hold, 6 ½ feet.      She is to have a top-gallant forecastle and will be schooner rigged.  She has a round bilge; is sharp forward, and her after floors have sufficient dead-rise, which is a great improvement.  Danielson deserves praise and will, in time, rank with the first builders on the coast.  The schooner will have twenty-six feet in depth of centerboard.                            S.

This sounds like a natl-filler.] Our Daughters.  [headline, centered; mild-bold; smaller than text; wide margins.]      Not only in the Old World, but here – perhaps, increasingly here – on account of our democratic or republican institutions, it has come to be one of the most serious problems of the time as to what careers we can be able to open for our daughters – what shall be done with them?  I agree with the most conservative, and say that, just so far as it is possible, the answer to that question should be, marry them.  I believe that the truest, noblest and most satisfactory career for any woman is first to be found in the home.  I care not what she may be able to do beyond the limits of that home; if she has the brain and training of a statesman, the arts of an orator, the power of a printer, or the culture of a musician, poet or novelist – no matter what – still I believe, in the main and in the long run, even such women as these find their truest place, their resting point, the point of departure, in the home, provided that they can be properly and fitly married.  The ideal woman is in her own home surrounded by loving children and guarded by the strong, manly arm of the husband – one who sympathizes with her in all she can do and is ready to help her in the noblest career she is capable of attaining.  + Disaster-earthquake OT-England condit?  Nn55a CCH July 8, 1884       England was shaken from center to circumferance [sic] by an earthquake lately. The shock was more severe in the eastern counties than elsewhere.  At Colchester the chimney stacks of factories, church spires and other lofty structures fell to the ground in ruins.  The people were terror stricken [sic], and rushed shrieking into the streets.  The damage by the shock amounts to millions of dollars, but it has caused a general feeling of insecurity throughout the kingdom.  + = [M. note, 2008.  This document contains most of the data from these issues except for some outside news and national-fillers (boilerplate).  Repeat-display-ads are generally not listed more than once in the year.] home   1883   1884-Jun   |   1884-July15-on   1885   1886-9   1890    to newspaper menu
