Address All Communications to COOS BAY DAILY TIMES JKnrsIifleld Oregon A NATION'S APPLi: TREES. In an accounting just published and said to cover the last day of last June the number of apple trees In -.the United States is placed at 201, 794, C42. Missouri leads the list of States and Territories with 20,040, 390 trees, while New York is second with 15.054.S32. It happens that these, except in the case of New York, are the figures .given in the census report for 1900. In the ten years beginning with 1890 the increase in the number of apple trees in the country was over 80, 000,000. Eight years of another de cade have now passed. That the count remains unchanged since that tremendous gain of 1890-99 must be regarded as somewhat amazing if it is a fact. However, a mere reckoning of trees is misleading as a means of comparing States' shares in the ap-jple-raislng industry. New York's orchards produced over 24,000,000 Ibushels in 1S99, Pennsylvania was a close second and Ohio was third with more than 20,000,000 bushels. Mis souri's nearly G, 500, 000 bushels placed her ninth on tho list. The .average yield In Now York, accord ing to a State Fruit Growers' Asso ciation report of 1902, Is about three and one-half bushels per tree, which ought for 15,000,000 trees to bring ajp a total of over 52,000,000 bush els. There is quality also to be con sidered. Missouri offers the tasteless Ben Davis apple, which finds ready rand heavy sale even on the Atlantic seaboard because of its coloring. "Western New. York produces tho Northern Spy in its highest quality. Jn the next census report Oregon will figure more promising and then we will hear more of the Coos Bay Gra jenstein which Is undoubtedly .the best all-round apple ever wet by ;the rain and warmed by the sun. It Is pleasant to reflect that on a per-capita basis of division, when ex treme socialism comes into Its own, each of us in America may liaro to ' himself at least two trees from which . only tho uncivilized will steal the up- I y LEAVE I T PROTEC I HERE TODAY!

The Fifleld sailed yesterday for San Francisco, carrying a large cargo of lumber from the Smith mill. She also carried a number of passengers. Among those who sailed on her were: to begin work on the channel short ly. Mr. Carroll said that the harbor I lines nau oeen nxeu somenme ago i but that the bulkhead lines had not ' been. He did not offer any sugges j tion as to where they should be fixed but asked that a committee to repre sent the property owners be appolnt l ed to cooperate with him in the I work. !

I Regular Booster Meeting. Last night's meeting was a reg ular Coos Bay booster meeting. A boosting spirit seemed to pervade tho atmosphere and the addresses of the evening.
