THE DAILY COOS BAY TIMES, MARSHFIELL, OREGON, THURSDAY, APRIL 9, 1908. m EXPERT FRUIT IN COil President Newell and Commis sioner Carson to Visit Coos County Soon. President Newell of the Oregon State Doard of Horticulture, and A. H. Carson, committeeman for the third district, will spend several days in Coos county the last of this month or the first week in May. The ob ject of their visit is to get in closer touch with the fruit growers of this section in order that more may bo accomplished for them. Dr. Pohl, fruit inspector in Coos clunty, has just been apprised of the intended visit and wishes that the people of this section, particularly the fruit growers, would show their apprecia tion of it by turning out and extend ing a welcome. Dr. Pohl is very busy now completing his inspection and on this account wishes that the Marsh field and North Dend Chambers of Commerce would take the matter in hand. Dr. Pohl has written the fol lowing letter to The Times: Editor Coos Bay Times, I have just received a letter from Hon. A. H. Carson, Commissioner of the Third District of Horticulture, that about the last of this month or the first week In May President Newell of the State Doard of Horti culture and Mr. A. H. Carson, Com missioner for tho Third District, will be in Coos county to Investigate all matters necessary to obtain more prosperous results in fruit growing. I believe that tho Chambers of Commerce in Marshfield and North Dend will give them a most hearty welcome. Perhaps it will be best for those bodies to write to either one, or both so as to have the exact time when to expect them and have an over flowing audiences to welcome them. To thopc still backward with their work of spraying I would personally add to not longer delay such work and avoid consequences. My time is very much taken up, or I should write to the Chambers of Commerce in Marshfield and North Dend, but should you place this In your Daily Times, the secretaries of those organizations will find the Item and tako notice and thereby save my time occupied as said before. Very truly, M. G. POHL, LOCAL COAL TRADE CROWS San Francisco Firms Expect to Handle Large Amount Dur ing the Coming Year. C. J. Millis of the Beaver Hill Coal Company, has received notice that tho Czarina would sail today from 'Frisco to Coos Bay to handle coal for the Golden Gate port. The Czarina Is expected here sometime Saturday. For about a year past, little Coos Bay coal has been hauled to San Francisco aside from that taken on the M. F. Plant. Mr. Millis is confident that there will bo a big coal trade with San Francisco henceforth and It is likely that the Czarina or similar carriers will bo kept busy plying in this trade. Recently F. C. Buhne of Eureka, made a contract with Masters and McLain for regular shipments of coal from Coos Bay to that city, the fuel from here being cheaper and superior to others obtainable at Eureka.

The following letter was received by Tho Times, signed by a gentleman who has recently arrived on Coos nay with the request that The Times add some signature other than tho real one. The Times does not care to endorse the sentiments expressed one way or the other, but thinks It may have some bearing on tho ques tion of who should pay the law makers. The corporations or tho people? In reading tho letter, one wonders whether the writer is not TWO GALLONS KILL "SOAKS." Two Now Yorkers Drink Gallon of Whiskey Apiece, in About Four Hours. NEW YORK, April 9. While the rain pattered and a chill wind blew, Francis King and his good friend Patrick McBrldo had a very nlco, quietly convlvlnl time recently. But the agreeable session ended unfortu nately. After drinking, between them, two gallons of a certain brand of Harlem whiskey In four hours, McDiide, forty-two years old, died of alcoholic poisoning. King, who has been sea soned and hardened by three years more of life, fell In alcoholic coma, but his life was saved by the able and earnest efforts of Ambulance Surgeon IJealy of tho Harlem hospital. Coroner Shrady took a sample of tho surviving whiskey, and will have it analyzed to learn if it contains any other poison than alcohol. Indiscreetly, a three gallon demi john of nlleged whiskey was given at noon to King, a laborer. No. 20,r East One Hundred and First street, to lake from Thomas Molony's saloon, No. 1920 First avenue, to Molony's other saloon, No. 1711 Lexington avenue. There is nothing selfish about King. With tho demijohn he dropped In to seo McHHdo, who boards with MIchnol Dorscy and his wife .lane, at No. 207-1 Second avenue. Horsey went In Mi'Hrlde's room at hnlf past four o'clock. i no two friends were stretched on the Moor, the demijohn, with a quart In it, stood upright on the table. Alter vainly trying to arouse .McBrlde and King, Horsey ran to Policeman Nihil, of the East One Hundred anil Fourth street station, who called an ambu lance. After King was sober he was charged with intoxication and locked up. Tho demijohn was locked up, too, charged with homicide, In effect. WHKItK WOMAN KXCHl.S.

Absolutely color blind persons aro very, very rare. 1 have met but one. lie couldn't tell red from yellow or yellow from blue. "Why aro men's eyes less reliable than women's as regards colors?

These commandments wero not "ritten on a stone by Moses, but ...-..., .o thoroughly understood and frequently bumped Into by any oil' who deals with tho catalogue mail order concerns. Following aro tho twelvo com mandments, which thoroughly indi cate the business sides of all con cerns. 1 You shall sell your farm pro duce for cash when ever you can, but not to us; we do not buy from you. 2 You shall believe our state ments and buy all you need from us because we want to be good to you, although we are not acquaint ed with you. 0 You shall send in tho monev in advance to give us a chance to get the goods from tho factory wiHi your money; meanwhilo you will have to wait patiently a few wee'.c because that is our business meth od. 1 Send your money and wo will skin you on the quality of tho goods fi You shall buy your church bells and Interior church fixtures from us and forward tho money in advance, for that is our business method. (! You shall collect from the busi ness men in your vicinity as much money as you can for the benefit of your churches. Although wo get more money from you than they do, still it is against our rules to donate for building country churches. 7 You shall buy your tools from us and be your own mechanic in or der to drive the mechanic from your viclnltj, for wo wish it so. 8 You will induce your neili bor to buy everything from us us we have room for more money. 9 You shall often look at the beautiful pictures in our catalogue io your witihes will Increaso and you will send in a big order, al though you are not In Immediate need of the goods; otherwise you might have some money left to buy necessary goods from your local merchantu. 10 You shall have tho mechaul.1--that repair the goods you buy from us book the bill, so that you can send the money for his labor for r ASTER CARDS EVERYTHING FOR right, in view of how little tho legis latures have left the State, whether, after all "cession" is not the right way to spell it. The letter follows: North Bend, Ore., April 9, 190S Editor Times, I want to raise my voice in objec tion to the law which the voters are going to pass on at tho coining elec tion which is to raise the salary of senators and representatives in tho legislature. I am in favor of eco nomy. Let me tell you that I was a representative in the Oregon legis lature six years ago from another part of the State of Oregon. I got along on the salary now paid and I don't see why the people should have to pay any more. Five dollars salary per day is too mucn. Then they get mileage. They are paid well enough. Now, I saved money on the stunt. I went to the legislature and board ed at the best hotel in Salem and held up my end with the best of them. I didn't have more than ten dollars when I struck the capital. A wise representative hns a good many. chances to make money on the side, If he watches closely and this Is real ly what one goes there for. For in stance! I watched my chance and got some money in the senatorial fight, I also got a few dollars just like finding It for helping to down some legislation which was adverse to the railroads. I Introduced a bill to compel one big land company to sell its land, but was induced to sup press it and turned a pretty penny in that way. The way the farmers fight the people who have acquired big tracts of land In Oregon is a cau tion. They are quite populistlc and I have always fought Populism with all my might and sidetracked lots of unwise bills and made money by do ing so. The Bible says: "Be wise as a serpent and harmless as a dove." It also says, "Be diligent in business." If these stupid legislator:! who ask for higher salaries would be wise as serpents and diligent in busi ness they would kill two birds with one stone. They would obey the holy book and save their souls and they would make so much money, they wouldn't care what kind of a salary they got. Now when a man who goes to the legislature gets a large salary it makes him slothful. He don't look for a chance to turn an honest dollar and ho feels so Independent like, that instead of taking advice from men who have proved their business ability by making big money, he in-, ti-niliicps nnri st.'iiids liv n lot of nrm- iSl'lflllfZ'Kfl' ullstic laws and tries to hurt the I ? railroads. Now, think what will O happen In the next legislature. If n man Is elected on the present salary he's got to rustle to keep alive dur ing the cession and won t have time for nny populistlc laws especially if he hasn't much sense. Such a man can't atford to' go to the legislature. It is only the friend of tho hi;;, eirer prlslng industriors who has sense enough to serve his friends in n style v, hlch will support their dignity and who asks them to help him who can afford to be there. Now, 1 am not a candidate for the legislature this year, but I can tell t.ie people how a member can easily live on tho pres ent salary. It will cost him ton dol lars a day If he amounts to anything at all. He ought to make $100 a day or he's no good. Statement No. 1 Is all right to soup the people with hut a legislator can get a good price to vote in defiance of it. You think the people won't stand by him, but they will. 1 could mako a thou sand out of the senatorial fight, 1 bet you I would introduce another bill to make Elijah Smith dance. When ho came out from Boston and pro mised to start up the Empire mill again I'd ask him to help mo side track the bill. There will be some Directors Ask Public to Meet With Them Tomorrow to Discuss Premium List. The Board of Fair Commissioners will be in session at the Chamber of Commerce tomorrow afternoon, mak ing out the list of premiums to he offered in August. All those who have anything to bo displayed or have any suggestions to make rela tive to premium awards are requested to confer with the Board. The meet ing will probably be prolonged until after the regular Chamber of Com merce meeting tomorrow evening, at which suggestions may still be of fered. An interesting program for to morrow night's meeting is under course of preparation. J .maiai J iMliWJ-AJ,1 UULJiMil-bkiLteTSZnZSSS Barrel!
