Coq B 274 Apr 4, 1902

[Roads, by stranger passing through.]
Ed. Bulletin:...I found Marshfield a prosperous place, with nice dwellings, planked streets, good walks, and a good town generally.
     Not wishing to go through country by rail, as I wished more time to observe the farming country I made inquiries about a rig or horse, but was informed that it was almost impossible to get into Coquille with a horse, as the roads were impassible on the Coquille side. Nothing daunted, I said I supposed a fellow could walk through. "Oh, yes if you could follow the railroad track." My curiosity was aroused, so I took the county road on foot. I found it good for miles and thought things had been misrepresented. There are good substantial bridges, large fills and some good planking. But on nearing Coquille, perhaps four miles out, though it seemed ten to me, I began to find mud. I saw the mail carrier dismount, take the mail sack on his back and hit the railroad track on foot. My, it looked tough! I thought it could not surely be so bad as that, so i kept on the county road. I soon came to where several bridges were torn out and trees lying across the road.
     Instead of drains at each side, the road seemed to have been built for a ditch to carry water down the middle-and mud! No name for it! How I wished for a pair of extra high top gum boots.
     But notwithstanding the discomforts of the journey, the beautiful green valleys and hillsides were in such striking contrast that the trip was not altogether unpleasant.
     The splendid condition of the stock, with their glossy coats, was particularly noticeable.
     It seemed there would be no end to my pilgrimage, but I kept plodding along as best as I could. First one foot, then the other one would stick in the mud. Your beautiful little village soon came in sight, and I though my difficulties ended. But no. The thrifty, neat looking farms and farm houses are all skirted with this quagmire of a ditch which I was told is intend [print] for a road.
     On arriving in town, I found your people apparently enterprising, your streets planked and a general air of prosperity. I could hardly believe it a part of the same country through which I had passed. You have a beautiful location and good facilities for sanitation. Lyons' mill in town was turning out a lot of fine lumber.
     Hearing of the farming country up the various tributaries of the Coquille river, I wished to see it, so I began another journey, on foot. More mud! Now and then a few cedar puncheons, in one place some 2 x 4 lumber about eight feet long lying loose in the mud. Here I met a man with a team hitched to a sled, trying to take three or four sacks of potatoes to market. When one horse stepped on one end of a 2 x 4 that end went down and the other end went up. This was, to me, a new way to bridge a mud hole.
     Government statistics show that it costs, on an average, in the United States, three dollars per ton to carry all farm produce to market. What must it cost to carry it on a sled over these roads?
     The fine farms on each side of the river are evidence that their owners are making some money. I was now near Johnson's mill and went in. They were hustling the lumber onto the cars to ship.   As I watched them, I thought what a shame that in a country with so much fine timber everywhere, good mills turning out lumber that can be had cheap, you do not have good roads. Oh, what might this beautiful valley be with good plank roads! Having had enough mud, I took a "tie pass" back to town.
     I next thought I should like to see Bandon, so I inquired about roads to that place. "Roads to Bandon? Oh, yes, there's a road to Bandon, but you have to go half way to Myrtle Point and climb two spurs of the Rocky mountains. You see, a few settlers, including our road supervisor, have had the lower river opposite town bottled up. Many attempts have been made to establish a shorter road to the lower river country, thence to Bandon, but without success, until recently. [Our road supervisor either misprint or else sure tip off this not written by out-of -towner; M. believes the latter.]

Coq B 275, 275a Apr 4, 1902
[road, cont]
With technicalities of law, exorbitant claims for damage, and what not, those few settlers have kept the lower river ranchers bottled up all these years."
     "Don't you work your roads or try to improve them any during the summer?"
     "Oh, yes. The supervisors order the men out to shovel in a little loose dirt along in places, but the first rains wash it all out again."
     "But your roads are surely getting better every year, are they not?"
     "No. They are much worse now than when they were first built."
     "But I suppose your road supervisors are progressive men who are desirous of seeing the country improve and do everything they can to help it along."
      "Perhaps. If fighting new roads and demanding unreasonable prices for right-of-way are what you mean, ours is it. He asked only $1000 damages for a right-of-way about an eighth of a mile in length across his little truck patch. Finally settled it for $250 - the county to pay part and the bottled up ranchers the balance."
     "Well, my friend," I said, "I am not surprised a the condition of your roads if you place them in charge of such public spirited (?) men. But remember that supervisors cannot build roads unless the people will back them. If you people are in earnest when you say you want good roads, you can have them. But you will have to get them in the same manner they do anywhere else - build them. Stop growling at your county court and your road supervisors. Roll up your sleeves and go to work and make yourselves some good roads...Gas may be pleasant to take, but it will not build roads.     A Traveler. [ M. Gas must refer to hot air. ]

The deceased always evinced a charitable disposition, and was ever ready to aid the afflicted; verifying her strict adherence to Christian precepts. Of this life she had nearly completed 60 years. A husband, two daughters and three sons survive her.
     She was laid to rest in the Odd Fellows' cemetery on Friday, March 28. The Rev. Wm. Horsfall officiating at the exequies. [print] A large concourse of relatives and friends attended the ceremony. May she rest in peace.---
Kind spirit thou hast flown away
Thy gentle voice is still.
Naught left for us but to obey
The mandate of God's will!
Weep not, then, mortal, 'tis but dust
On which your grief you pour,
The spirit's gone, and with the just
'Twill dwell FOREVERMORE."

     The entire city of Marshfield has been excited during the past three days about a rumor that has been in circulation here to the effect that three Marshfield boys had gotten into some trouble in lower California. As these young men are well known in this community, the Coast Mail has seen fit to sift the matter to the bottom and the result of our investigations up to Saturday night were published in Sunday morning's issue. But to make more sure of the matter we telegraphed to the "Los Angeles Times" requesting them to send the particulars, if there were any, of the case, and we received the following reply:
     "Los Angeles, March 5 - Coast Mail; No record of conviction here of parties named. -Times."
     This seems to be but an instance where some wished to gain a little cheap notoriety at the expense of others and started this cowardly report and it has been added to by the gossip loving element until it reached the point where the boys must reach the penitentiary to satisfy this morbid taste. -Coast Mail.
