-fi THE DAILY COOS BAY TIMES. MARSHFIELD, OREGON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1908. PUIS TRIBUTE 0 IS THE HOME DISAPPEARING? 0 A R. M. Stocker of Pennsylvania, Outlines Great Possibilities Here. HONESDALB, Pa., Oct. 23, '08. Enclosed find my subscription for!tho fatner r tho tamly has ceased another year. Tho panic has affect- to bo tho Bole supporter thereof Is cd manufacturing communities worso Bhown In tho Btatistlcs gathered In than It has you and wo arc not . twenty-seven cities and tabulated by Many Com- Women Arc Entering mei'clal Field. One woman In five In the United States has abandoned the domestic life and has become a Wage-earner. Even thl? does not accurately state the situation. In country districts only two women out of every eleven arc at work, but in cities, that Is, wherever Industrial opportunities are present, two women out of every seven are at work, nearly one-third of the total women population, says tho Broadway Magazine. How far in QflE&lIl The Quality Our Laundering has always been its dis tinguishing characteristic. Nothing is left undone which can possibly Im prove results. The natural consequence, therefor, is that there Is a laundry equipped for doing perfect work and skilled work People to see that It is done. Phono 2201 for tho wagon ----I through with it yet, but we see signs of Improvement. Harriman should build that road in from Drain. It will not pay the first year, but It will not be long beforo It will be one of the best paying roads In Oregon. Coal traffic is one of the best freight paying commodities that is carried by the railroads. There are several reasons why this Is so. It is easily handled by unskilled labor, and there Is no fear of breakage and even If the train is wrecked the coal Is only spilled and no damage Is done to it. Passenger traffic and high-class freight traffic Involve an immense risk In damages in case of wreck. All tho railroads operated anywhere near the anthracite coal regions of Pennsylvania have made an effort to get a part of this profitable coal car rying "business. The Delaware and Hudson, tho Delaware, Lackawanna and Western whose stock is worth 5 to 1. The Erie, tho Pennsylvania, the Lehigh Valley ,tho Reading, the Ontario and Western and a number of other smaller roads either have main lines or branch lines extending into the coal regions of this state and the tonnage of this coal carry ing business Is immense and the pro fits to the railoards are immense. Coos Day has about all tho coal there is In Oregon and California too for that matter and you have only scratched the surface towards devel oping that Industry yet. Of course, you have water transportation but that Is not enough. A railroad would have an Immense tonnage out of Coos Bay in coal alone for use in the towns of Willamette Valley and regions farther east. As soon as the coal industry is developed to any extent, the population of Marshfield and North Bend will increase rapid ly. Add to this your Immense lum ber possibilities and Coos Bay offers Inducement for a greater tonnage in freight carrying for a railroad than any other place in Oregon. If Col. Holablrd is thoroughly alive to the coal possibilities of Coos Bay he will certainly make a report favorablo to building the Drain and Coos Bay railroad. R. M. STOCKER. NORTH BEND NEWS Mrs. S. Hanson of Coqulllo, Is vis iting relatives In North Bend. Miss Myrtle Hodson has again taken a position with tho telephone exchange. the census bureau. The total num ber of women at work in the twenty seven cities is 904,695. Of these 173,030 are boarding or living in the families of their employers. The remaining 731,665 are described as follows: Woman tho sole wage-earner. 98,861 One other wage-earner In family 218,415 Two other wage-earners In family 188,089 More than ,two other wage earners in family 226,300 Out of 731,665 women at work 98,861 are supporting the family, and between 218,415 and 532,804 are contributing to the family in come. Remember that these are city workers and represent nearly one third of all the women In those ci ties. At last accounts the number of women In Industry was Increasing faster than the birth rate. How long will It bo before the home, except for rich people, will be as obsolete as stage coaches, hoopsklrts, and merry Christmas? Recurring periods of industrial de pression always bring poverty to the surface. We have no permanent class of unemployed In this country as yet but we have a large pop ulation which barely manages to keep above water. When the tide rises ever so little above the average this big population has to be rescued from drowning. It has no foothold but the shifting sand, and It cannot swim. But this last panic brought some thing now to the surface. It brought to light a force at work in this land of boundless wealth and unlimited opportunities; a force which if not met will result In a wholesale wreck ing of homes. Already the silent force has eaten far Into the social fabric. Its outward and visible sign is the fact that on the shoulders of millions of women has descended a monstrous double burden, under which not only they but their chil dren and their homes are slowly sinking.

Each recurring attack of rheuma tism makes tho disease harder to control, but tho fact that it is not in Itself dnngerous causes people to neglect It, awaiting a change or a settled condition of tho weather for relief.
