Upper River. D. Giles brought a sample of his brick to our office last week
that is as good or superior as any pressed brick ever brought to this place from
San Francisco. It measured 8 1/4 inches in length (plump), 4 inches wide and
2 inches in thickness. The sample was as fair and true as if it had been dressed
with a plane and we understand that the whole kiln just burned is like the
sample. They are sold yard store $8 per thousand. +

[M. probably first-known-mention of R.A. Graham. (not many issues of paper
extant before this.)]
   [Upper River???] The Railroad Goes! Last Saturday at conference of the
leading citizens of the county in the railroad matter, at this place, it was found
that so few remain to give right-of-way that it was deemed expedient to
commence suits against them and let the work go on. Mr. King was to inform
Mr. Graham by telegraph that day and if favorable, all necessary material
would be shipped at once; otherwise a shut down and all hands stop work.
Favorable report was sent, and it is fair to presume that in two weeks the line
between Coquille City and Marshfield will be literally covered with men and
machinery working with a will. Manager King, Major Miller, J.W. Bennett,
T.R. Sheridan and E.G. Flanagan were the boys that set the matter in motion.
They went to the bay Saturday afternoon. + [cp]

Hermann-name LBR 3 CCH Sept 2, 1890   T. Mannell Hermann back in town..

Allied name condit LBR 3 CCH Sept 2, 1890.
Thomas Sheridan, Major Miller, Geo. Flanagan, and Mr. King, visited this place
Friday remaining over night. They came up to obtain the right-of-way for the
Roseburg-Coos Bay and Eastern railroad. W.L. Dixon, Z.T. Johnson and Orvil
Dodge have been out soliciting the right-of-way, by order of the board of trade,
with good results. We found some places where the railroad will play havoc with
building places, and domestic arrangements generally and even then people
were willing to give the right-of-way with only sufficient pay to move their
buildings and repair other damages to their homes that some of them had been
struggling to build up for a decade or more. With one or two exceptions the
farmers are willing to encourage the railroad and exert every nerve to forward
the interests of the road. So that practically the right-of-way is secured
between this place and Coquille City. The Coquille valley board of trade will
meet Sept. 10th and at that time steps will be made to devise some means to
raise the funds to pay for moving such buildings. President Sheridan and
party returned to Marshfield Saturday and they were well pleased with the
results of their visit. It is surprising to see the difference in people, for while
some are actually damaged as above stated there are others that are not the
least bit hurt by the construction of the road and yet the latter class are the first
to kick and one man stated that a railroad would not benefit and that things
were better 25 years ago before there were any improvements in the country.
Thank heaven there are but few such men in the Coquille valley. +    [M. note.

Hermann stage-road public-official health misc-word Coq Valley
Pr-51 CCH Sept 2, 1890
When Dick Braden brought his four house [sic] stage up in front of the Myrtle
Point hotel last Wednesday evening we heard a familiar voice and rushed
across the street to learn from whence it came, and found T. Manuel [sic]
Hermann shaking hands with friends and kissing his "cousins and his aunts."
By his letters of recent date Mr. Hermann had left the impression on the minds
of his friends that he was very weak and delicate so one can imagine the
surprise in seeing him in robust health or looking like a corpulant Dutchman.
Mr. Hermann is the head of the western division of the Pension bureau at
Washington and will return in a few weeks to his duties. Manuel [sic] has
helped to open up the Coquille valley and his many friends are glad to see him
enjoying good fortune. +

Health flowery obit saying   church Pr 51 CCH Sept 2, 1890
Died. -- Aug. 30, at one o’clock a.m. in Myrtle Point, Oregon, Roy Majory,
infant son of Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Majory, jr., aged 10 months. Little Roy was
a bright and lovely child and a "pet of the household." He suffered five days
and his heroic efforts to baffle the dreaded disease and conquer the mystic
hand of death was a wonder to all present. The last two days before his
innocent spirit took its flight it seemed that the thread of life was at its highest
tension and was ready at any moment. Nearly every matron in town visited the
little sufferer and tried their utmost to illeviate [sic] the agony and distress of
the sweet child but all in vain. The funeral services were conducted by Dr.
Easter at the Progressive Baptist Church. A large concourse of symdathizing
[sic] friends followed the remains to the cemetery. +

   Fair notes. The finest piece of work in our judgement [sic] exhibited was
that of a beautiful peacock in arasene and tinsel by Mrs. J. D. Garfield. The
bird was as lifelike as possible. +
   The fruit and vegetable exhibit was too small to mention, though of fine
quality what there was. +
   J. W. Wimer had one of the finest young bulls in Southern Oregon on the
grounds, but owing to press of business could not stay and keep him there, so
in the absence of the animal when the
awards were made no premium was given. The animal would be entitled to
the best premium in any fair. +
    The course was better than ever before, though as a rule the flyers were
generally young and little trained. As a result no very fast time was made. The
trot in 2:51 was fair for a backwoods county. Sir Walter, it is said, can make it
in 2:30. +
    The Berkeshire [sic] pig belonging to G. W. Wimer [sic] and from his
registered thoroughbreds, weighs 193 lbs at 5 months old. Better or prettier
stock than G. W. Wimer’s can’t be found. +
    The dance in the evening of the last day was an enjoyable one, but not very
largely attended. The fair can’t be said to be a great success, nor a failure,
financially, as it paid its own expenses. +
