While we are no suiflci-ntly crp-1-k'ous to believe that pre-cooked rm etables are a possible agricultural achievement, we can still hope foi ' such a boon from nature. Perhaps Luther Durbank might accomplish something of this sort in his experi ments. No one would care to state positively that it could not be done. Besides, it is said that already there is growing in the United States a patch of patatoes which need only to be plucked and eaten, a culinary process having been carried on by artificial means during the period of their germination. Dwlght Wheeler, a Connecticut farmer, Is proprietor of the astonishing field of spds. It was he who hit upon the method of cultivation by which the sprouting root is baked as perfectly as though it had been spaded out of the ground and placed in a heated oven. But "Wheeler's potatoes do not grow un der the earth, but on plants like to matoes and string beans. Wheeler assures us that anyone can grow their own potatoes, already cooked, by following his simple plan, which, by the way, he refuses to di vulge. It has been ascertained, how ever, that the young farmer has been experimenting with red pepper plants during the last year, and it is sup posed by those who are not con vinced of his mendacity, that he has crossed potato sprouts with the seeds of these exceedingly hot vegetables. How else could one account for tho pre-cooked potatoes? The juice of the pepper stock would naturally cir culate through the stems of the po tato plants, eventually passing into the succulent pulp of the spud Itself, cooking it to n turn. Really, Wheeler interests us great ly. If he can cook potatoes, as he says, without building a fire, ho un doubtedly could perform the same service for other vegetables, by in fusing them with the quintessence of something hot. Wheeler should ex periment with live stock next. Tho -thought of having to prepare neither meat or vegetables beforo eating ap peals to one's sense of indolence. JVN OVERLOOKED WATER FRONT Spoaklng of improvements which remould soon receive attention, thero "has been no feature of the city so carefully overlooked as tho water front. The condition of many of the docks Is simply disgraceful, and thoro is no general movement in the direc tion of improvement. Ono specific case that is-'attractlng tsomo attention is that of the Port land & Seattlo docks and terminals. Tho terminals have been Improved in a most wonderful way through tho port of Portland's big dredge, Co lumbia, lifting the gravel from tho river bed and scattering it uniformly thousands of feet along the com pany's terminal grounds. In this way two birds have been killed with ono stone, for tho gravel used la one direction for a fill deepened the chan nel In another, and thus provided deep water at the point where the company proposed to build Its docks. Theso docks aro now In process of construction, and while they are not helng built of cemont, as It was hop ed they would be, are nevertheless "beyond comparison tho best con structed docks on tho wator-front. They are being bulkheaded and filled In with gravel, which is a vast Im provement on the usual free-and-easy stylo of construction thqt simply invites fire and spreads disease. As a matter of fact, it Is a great mistake not to extend the fire limits along tho waterfront. A now dock helng built by a coal company In place of ono recently destroyed, Is about as dlsroputablo and shabby looking an affair ns ono could woll find anywhere It Is ten years behind tho tlmos and n score of years behind what It ought to ho. A new ordin ance should bo Introduced In tho council extending tho flro limits in that direction, and every company, w itli the Toast and T ;ooi evening.

OLD-FASHIONED BREAKFAST. low dear to my heart Is that scene of my childhood Which fond recollection rocalleth tc view; The damask-clad board with Its la vishly plied food, Delectable fare my young appetite knew. The thick, Juicy beefsteak, the ome lette by it, The crisp, fried potatoes, seductively brown, The rampart of toast with the mar malade nigh it Ambrosial breakfast, where now thy renown? The old fashioned "breakfast, our forefathers' breakfast. The long ago breakfast of vanished renown. Those rich-tinted waffles, how tooth some and tender. Their dimpled delights on those mornings of yore; How oft to their delicate charms I'd surrender, How sweet the libation I'd over them pour. How calm the content that would softly enfold me As each melting mouthful slipped lusciously down, And how I'd have sorrowed had any one told me That opulent breakfast would lose its renown. The old fashipned breakfast, our forefathers breakfast. The long ago breakfast of vanished renown. How bleak Is this modern repast of the morning, It dlffereth far from the feast of my dream, That succulent fern the bare table adorning. .' I yearn to devour with sugar and cream. I'm weary of hay, predlgested and shredded, On health-giving sawdust I look with a frown, The pangs of dyspepsia aro less to be dreaded Oh, bring back the breakfast of an cient renown; The old fashioned breakfast, the dear, deadly breakfast, The long ago breakfast of vanished renown. But Is there no hope? Must I ever continue On flakes of dried science to nourish my brain? While "vigor" and "force" feed my musclo and sinew. My poor, patient palato petitions In vain. Dear meal of my youth, with what rapture I'd hall thee. Could I but beforo thy abundance sit down! With keonest enjoyment I'd haste to assail thee. Thou memorial breakfast of blessed renown; Tho old fashioned breakfast, our forefathers' breakfast, Tho long ago breakfast of, vanished ronowhi U Quite frequently the young man is accepted, not because ho is good enough, but because he is too good for some other girl. A California woman Is wearing a dress woven from the hair of her pet dog. She preserved the clippings for association and Individual should be mado to conform to It. The docks of tho biggest corporations, with the ex ception of tho ono now under con struction for the Portland & Seattle railroad, aro all of a piece. There aro really more big sinners than small. Some of tho conditions which exist should not bo tolerated, even from the standpoint of the public health. More attention must hereafter bo paid to tho waterfront conditions, for shipping is enormously Increas ing, and while to tho credit of the port of Portland, It must bo said, It is doing most commendable work, It cannot do ovorvthiuK without tho backing of tho city, and a robust pub lic sentiment which should not toler ato tho laxuess of which many of the corporations doing business along the waterfront are constantly and fla grantly guilty.

The difference between what some Coos Bay men infer they make and what thcj really make, would keep a arge family in luxury. The only really hrppy day, the day which has no sorrows, no annoyances. 10 disappointments and no dlscoura jements is tomorrow. When a man refuses to take no for m answer there is only one thing for ho poor" girl to do answer some ither fellow, "Yes." . A man with ?1 worth of whisky1 in him would laugh at .a funeral pro- j session If somebody gave him the j ieast encouragement. The man who can climb high on he ladder and still keep the friend j 3hips he made on the lower rung, is 1 lucky and wise indeed. There is positively no excuse for a young man pissing a girl once. If she stands for It once she likes it and should have at least two. A good rule in life is to spend this week's money from the wages of last week. At any rate don't spend next week's wages this week. It Is a mighty mean man that will let his life Insurance policy lapse just in time to keep his heirs 'from quarreling over the money. When a man goes out to look for trouble and comes home with a black eye, further proof that he found what he went after is not needed. A Coos Bay man refers to the sphinx as bolonglng to the male per suasion. He says a woman could not have kept the secret so long. Certain Ccos Bay individuals who are guilty seem to think they can escape detection if they holler loudly enough about the other fellow. A Coos Bay boy's definition of the spine is: "The spine is a long, lim ber bone, your head resting on one end and you sit on the other end." Some young men seem to think that a college diploma is a daily order on the universe for three square meals and the fiub-dubs. A man never believes that truth is stranger than fiction until the baby gets him up seven times In one night and still he can't find the pin. A California man with $50,000 has married a woman who promised to help him take care of his money. I'll bet he had a hard time getting her to promise that. "Divorce Is almost as easy of ac complishment as marriage," re marked the Bachelor at the Mllll coma last evening. "Yes. You will observe that only a transposition of two letters Is need ed to mako 'united' 'untied,' " re plied the Observant Ono as he flecked the ash off the end of his cigar. STOLE A KISS TO . WIN BACK HER LOVE Farmer Dlek Had Sent Sophie n Lot of "Em on Paper Real Article Brought Trouble. NEW YORK, July 23. When the love of Miss Sophie Houck of Lynd hurst, N. J grew cold, Richard Bea secke, a farmer of Nutley, tried for cibly to kiss her, It la charged, and was haled before Justlco of the Peace John C. La Faucherlo, who is trying to patch up a truco between the couple. According to Sophie, eighteen, and pretty, tho kiss was stolen from her ono evening last week on the River road In Nutley, which Is known as "lovers' lane," when she and her sister Annie were on their way home. Accounts differ as to what really did take place. If Farmer "Dick's" story Is true ho and the young woman had bcon fond lovers for several years and corresponded regularly. The bearer of the love missives was eleven-year-old Edward Marcus, A bundle of letters was produced in evi dence, but SopTiio indignantly denied having written them. But Marcus said he had carried missives between her and "Dick" and that ho opened ono of her letters and saw a lot of crosses. "What did they signify," asked the Justice. "Why, kisses, of course," answered tho lad. Tho boy said "Dick" gave him a squirrel for carrying the mes sages and that Sophie seemed anxi ous to get thorn. The Myers Store I North Bend, Ore.
