'"USTLliWOOII" at tho P. K. -a-tt-a-tt-tt-u-tt-tt-u-tt-8--t: & A I LITTLE TALKS ix a n ABOUT TOWN A GRIST OF COOS RAY GOS- e SIP GATHERED HERE AND U n 7 H THERE ABOUT THINGS OF ' PASSING INTEREST. A friendly correspondent has tho following to say: "Many people about Coos Bay are watching, with. decided interest, the Gardens tariff action on lum- nnd her. Do they look as Tariir. closely to tho farmingr and gardonlng indus tries in this vicinity? Do they ask their grocer for tho vegetables and fruits and berries grown near home? To grow our own garden products and use them 'locally will do as much to advance tho prosperity of this community as a duty on lum ber. We do not have to look to, nor wait upon, Congress, to grow our own gardens and raise our own chickens; they are in our own con trol." "Of all tho farms In the world per haps the most remarkable is In Alas ka on a small branch of the Tanana. river, only i2 miles south of tho Arctic Circle,' said a Portland trav eling man at the Chandler today. "It is owned and oper Hot Water ated by a mar named Fanning. Knrshner. "A few years ago Karshner was engaged in hunting gold when he camo across something which astonished him greatly. It was a little stream of hot water. Ho traced the stream to a spring, which was likewise hot, and presently it became obvious that a considerable area was underlaid by such spring. Promptly deciding that this was a discovery more valuable than a gold mine, Karshner gave up prospecting, obtained a quantity of vegetable seeds of various kinds and started in to raise garden truck. "Tho temperature In that region, sometimes falls to 5C degrees below zero, but a natural system of hot water heating, free of cost, was Just tho thing for truck gardening near the Arctic circle, where potatoes have a market value of 2G cents a pound and other vegetables bring prices in proportion. Karshner's farm occupies a fiat area with a convenient slant toward the south. Hot water, oozing out of tho ground, forms three small Etreams which empty into tho nearby river. The warm spring extends over a distance of about a mile, and as tho owner says, tho heat must "bo felt to be believed. Ho goes on to say that the place has a climato of Its own, for often there is no frost when It Is freezing everywhere olso. "This hot water farmer has seven ty hens and six pigs. He claims that his crop of potatoes this year will average over 300 bushels to tho acre. Tobacco grows finely and to matoes are a success. Squashes of various kinds aro grown, somo of them weighing as much as fifty pounds. Not content with that. Karshner gets $1 apiece for his1 muskmelons." AT THE HOTELS. The Chandler J. D.
