"This is the slowest and most backward spring that I have seen on Coos Day in twenty years," re marked J. J. Clinklnbeard, tho well known Coos Kiver rancher who spent Sunday In Marshfleld. "The long con tinued cold is affecting crops and unless there is a sudden change and weather attains a normal condition, tho damage may bo considerable." Tho weather in this vicinity has been peculiar this season, many of tho older residents being puzzled by It. Only a few weeks ago, there woro a couple of unusually warm days the thermometer going higher than it usually gets at the warmest season of the year. Tho warm spell was brief, though and has been fol lowed by cool, rainy weather, tho ex tent of which has been seldom known on Coos Bay after April. RACE HORSES WILL COME TO COOS BAY.

(Special Dispatch to Tho Journal) OREGON CITY, May 1C Mayor Matlock of Eugene, fired another gun last evening In tho Clackamas coun ty local option campaign. A very enthusiastic audience greeted tho mayor and loudly applauded him in his statements. He said in part: "I come to you not as an orator, but as a farmer of Lane county and by good fortune, the mayor of Eu gene. I conic not seeking political honors, because my best days aro gone, but I come in behalf of good government, the elevation of char acter and good citizenship. "Eugene wont dry two years ago under very unfavorable circum stances. The mayor of the city at that time, a man honest In his con victions and a good man, too, was not in favor of it, because he honest ly believed that there was not suf ficient public sentiment in Eugene to make the law effective. There were predictions of failure on every hand and it was said that our pros perity would be trampled in the dust. "But what are the facts about Eu gene today? Instead of grass grow ing in the streets we have paved miles of them, under prohibition. Tho 11 empty saloon buildings were soon rented. Eugene prospered in spite of tho loss of saloon revenue. The last two years have seen the largest increase in business and mo ney in banks, in fact, in bank depos its, Eugene stood at the head of tho list in Oregon, leaving out Port land. We have better collections. Factories and mills are running full time. Last year we put up from 200 to 300 dwellings, with an Increase of population of 4,000. "Let mo give you a fair sample of business prosperity in the case of my own son. Ho was doing a business of $30,000 a year. After tho first year of prohibition it was increased to $45,000, the second year to $G0, 000, and this year it is larger than ever before. "The first year of prohibition we decreased our city debt by $2,000, besides purchasing a site for a new city park, a team and chemical en gine and hiring an engineer and sur veyor and all this at an expense of $12,000 over tho last year. No, the grass is not growing in Eugene streets; they were paved to tho ex tent of $15,000 worth during pro hibition and this year we aro mak ing public improvements to the ex tent of $815,000 and tho building department shows that $83,000 in permits was taken out in a month for dwellings alone. "Eugene has two daily and three weekly newspapers, and all of them are prospering." COQUILLE CULLIXGS. Items of Interest at Coos County Seat As Told Jn tho Sentinel.
