Address All Communications to COOS KAY DAILY TIMES MnrMifiold - - ' llllr('g-"" YELLOW .JOURNALISM. One of the most glaring and de spicable pieces of "yellow journal Ism" that lias ever come under tho observation of The Times was the damnably false article appearing in the Portland Journal of last Satur day concerning the forest fire on Coos Bay. It was so false and fictitious that it would be ridiculous were It not for tho fact that people unfamiliar with tho conditions and situation here might be misled. The fact that there was not a shred of fact on which the story could be based makes the action of its publication without ox cuse or palliation. The material damage done Coos Bay by such a publication Is great but the mental anxiety occasioned people with rela tives and friends in this section has been Incalculable. Not less than a hundred telegrams and many long distance telephone messages have poured into Coos Bay in the last few days making anxious inquiry for loved ones, asking if they were safo and making proffers of assistance. The Times has made an effort to locate the local correspondent of Tho Journal, but has not been successful. We are loath to believe that any person on Coos Bay could bo so lost to a sense of decency, honor and common sense as to write such a false, foolish and damaging article. It was probably the work of some romancer in tho Journal's Portland office, and if so tho greater their degradation and their shame. Tho person responsible should be reviled of men ami the newspaper giving it currency Is deserving only loathing and contempt. It is such journalistic work as this that makes honest newspaper men blush for tho disgrace that Is re flected upon their profession by ir responsible mental derelicts whoso proper place is in an asylum for tho feeble minded or behind prison bars. CIVIC PRIDE. To what can wo nscrlbo the rapid -growth and development of Coos Bay during tho past year? What has oc casioned tho many flattering articles which havo so frequently appeared In the newspapers and periodicals throughout tho country? Has it been simply owing to our wonderful natural resources, or has It beep be cause of tho publicity we havo given theso resources, and tho excellent work of our various civic bodies? To tho latter we must give tho honor without question. Certainly a strong foundation is a necessary requisite to work on, but without tho work man wo cannot oxpect to accomplish anything. Tho citizens of Coos Bay can point with prfdo to the rosults already ob tained, and tho success which has beon thoirs should servo as an Incen tive for still more vigorous and henrty cooporation In tho future Tho tlmo Is now rlpo for an active campaign and conditions wero never more favorable for a continuation of tho work nlroady begun. Improve ments nro needod; dwellings and buildings should bo erected, and such n general air of prosperity pervado tho entire community that outsldo capital will not hesitate to cast their lot with ours. Our opportunity Is now at hand. "Wo must either ndvanco or rotro grado. Which shall It bo?

Dreams are things of fancy that the shrewd con man turns to his own ac countsometimes bank account. Lots of people are willing to forgive and forget, but they have their price.

Financial circumstances are often such that the farmer cannot adorn his farm with expensive houses, barns and lawns. But this lack of means should not discourage the average man, for there Is no reason why his home phould not be beautiful. There are homes where wc see these Improve ments, yet there may be an element of beauty lacking to those who lovo beau ty for beauty's sake. Cleanliness, good taste and a certain amount of piide must be seen or beauty will be lacking. There Is a lack of taste and management In some country homes to be deplored. We see country homes, one after an other, almost entirely without flowers. Sometimes we Judge it is because the women -do not have time to care for them, but more often we believe It Is because of the lack of love for flowers that they are missing, says Mrs. E. V. Gordon of Lamar county, Tex., In the Farm and Ranch. Every home should have its flowers. One Hhould take tlmo to care for a few at least It re quires' very little time to plant and tare for a hardy flower, and that flow er will afford pleasure and beauty for many days in the year. Flowers np peal to our finer taste, aud In the cul tivation of them we become more re fined. Tho frout yard should have good walks and well arranged flower beds, and theso should be kept clear of weeds and grass if possible. The back yard should never be neglected. It is Just as Important a factor, if not more so, in tho everyday life of the home- maker ns the front yard. All weeds and rubbish should bo removed and trees and flowers of value planted. It has been our lot to bo thrown Into somo communities where tho averaga farmer greatly neglected tho appear ance of his farm and seemed to be pos sessed with a don't care disposition and to be endowed with very poor Ideas of refinement There is so much left undono which could be doue with profit and added comfort Our farms would bo much more attractive if all fence rows, orchards and back lots were kept clear of weeds and grass. Gates and bam doors should bo well made and hinged, not propped. Fence wires where they are loose at every other post should be stapled up. These are small thlugs, but they mar tho beauty of tho farm. Our farms are often destitute of trees. This should not be. There is time wasted unthoughtfully which could be used in putting out trees around yards, lots, fences and in pastures.
