Official Pnpcr of Coos County. Chamber of Commerce. bitlon consisted of a collection BOQST THE GHAVEXSTEIN. THE SUMMER OP 1907 was sig nalized in Marshfleld by an ex hibition which did the whole of Coos county more real good than any one act of that very useful and effective civic body the Marshfleld That exhl- .of fruits mostly apples which filled the Chamber of Commerce rooms to overflowing and attracted very wide attention. Had It produced no other effect, the impetus given to fruit culture in Coos county, causing the apple and pear trees to be pruned nnd sprayed and inducing the forma tion of associations for the protection of fruit' growers and the quality of the friilt, the value of that exhibi tion can hardjy be over-estimated. But It also helped to develop a pride in the hearts of the people In what C003 qounty could do, both on Coos Bay and Its tributaries and the re markable and fertile poqullle valley which Is the especial pride of all coast garden spaces. In 1008, as an outgrowth of the Gravensteln exhibit. Marshfleld had a 'falr.'whlch was full of encourage ment tot all southwestern Oregon and which was again notable for Its splendid display of fruit, and it was bo successful In that respect, that many expressed the hope that some Huch exhibition might fie held each year in the season which laughed with the rlpenlnr of the prize fruit the lemon growers of California have made on an average a profit of $530 tr aero with expenditures amount lng to $3 TO. That was under the present tariff. I would not eliminate the lemon growers of Ca lfornla or any other American Industry, but It Is a llttlo too much for them to' come here and ask an increase of duty when they are already making over 100 per cent." The California lemon grower sup plies but one-third of the American demand. Every Inch by which the tariff Is raised therefore affords Just so much leeway for Increasing the cost of. lemons to the consumer. The California Fruit Growers Associa tion Is In reality a trust controlling the entire citrus fruit production. The purpose of Increasing the tariff Is to Increase the price of lemons in the American market. Senator Root is not a democrat nor an' insurgent. But he can not see how it falls to the nation to de liberately tax the great American public for the benefit of the owners of California orange and lemon lands, when the official reports show that they are already making net over $500 an acre. Coos county growers of cranber ries and strawberries are making only about $450 per acre and they are not asking any increase In the tariff. I mm mm mmmmmM - I lA'vrn !", I rfora .xn.-M 1 am ! tt mi mc i uast tnu icdj THE COST. G" of Coos the delicious and Juicy Gra vensteln apple. The cost of an ex hibition like that of 1907, wherein prizes were offered by the Chamber of Commerce for the best box of Gravensteln apples and a few other prices were distributed was very slight. The year 1909 should not bo allowed to pass without extend ing the same encouragement to fruit growers which the exhibitions of 1907 and 1908 furnished. There should :bo a Gravensteln festival. It should be made a signal success and should last for a week. There should be a program for every night In the woek. The peoplt of Florence have already made their city notable for a Rhododendron festival. Portland has her Rose Festival. Let Coos Bay1 have her Gravensteln festival. Somebody might object that other fruits are as good and thrive as well as the Gravensteln In Coos county. That may bo true, but most of them thrive as well olso whero also, But nowhere In the world does the Gravensteln devol op In such beauty and flavor as in tho salt atmosphere of the Pacific coast. ThlB tits It above all apples as the leader. So a Gravensteln Fes tival at Coos Biy will bo yery ap propriate and If cur people will take pains to advertise it and invite at tention at the Seattle FaIr',to this product of tho county, it will spread our fame in a very healthy and of- foctlve fashion. The Chamber of Commerce may well consider this matter In tlmo to ninke It an event and tho "boostor club" which tho young men have or ganized can find no better' work to do than to boost this Idea of a "Gravon Bteln Festival." , THE TAIUFF ON LEMONS. NE OF THE MOST Interesting I 1 phases of tho tariff debate 'is brought out whenever a sched ule Is dlsdussed which protects somo Ijroducor, ' whoso profits nro already many times those of tho peoplo who nro expected to bear tho burden. Senator-Root, when tho lemon tar iff was up, read from the reports of the agricultural department nnd Bald: ERMANY WILL require $35,- 000,000 during tho current year for new naval construc tion work. Of this amount $31,250, 000 will be obtained by borrowing. This money will cost, In Interest, de pending whether the government gets it at 3 1-2 or 4 per cent, be tween $744,000 and $850,000 a year. Tho cost of upbuilding and main taining Germany's navy is so great that all attempt at meeting It out of the funds that can bo raised by ord inary taxation methods has been abandoned. It is authoritatively de clared that only six per cent of the building cost of the existing German fleet Is met out of the current revenue. The German government has Just negotiated a loan of $200,000,000, says tho Woman's National .Dally. After much haggling with the bank ers of the nation, who are to fur nish the money, an agreement was reached whereby ono-half of this amount is to be loaned as 4 per cent stock at 102.7 per cent and the other half aB 3 1-2 per cent stock at 95.6 per cent. This compromise was de manded by the government because It desired to give the appearance of having greater credit than it has en Joyed for several years. This $200, 000,000 loan follows one of $162, 500,000 made the year previous, on which 4 per cent Is being paid. The increase In the national debt, there fore, has been at the rate of $181,- 250,000 a year for the past two years. Of tho $200,000,000 recently bor rowed, the imperial government is to receive $80,000,000 and the Prus sian government is to got $120,000, 000. Last year Prussia received $100,000,000 and the Imperial Ger man government received $62,500, 000 out of tho $162,600,000 bor rowed. Prussia required the money allotted to It for productive purpos es; Germany required its part for unproductive purposes. Prussia is Investing In railroads; Germany Is Investing In fighting ships. Prussia may reasonably expect returns from Its money; Germany may only ex pect returns in event of war and may not get thorn even then. And yet sane men tell us that an Investment In a navy Is profitable to a govern ment. The outcome of this modern rivalry, unless an end is soon put to it, will be that the people will take this oxpenslve peace problem Into their own hands. Tho great danger Is that the nations will be so saddled with debt by the timo tho people awaken to tho folly of the present tremoudous expenditures that na tions as well as Individuals will be In tho grip of tho money kings. Tho countries of the world aro oven now paying practically $2,000,000,000 an nuual Interest on their public debts, nnd they have a total annual ln como of only $9,000,000,000. GOOD EVENING. Happily It Is not the result of our acts that irakes them brave and noble, but the facts them- selves and the unselfish lovo that moved us to do them. R. L. STEVENSON. Just Keep On Keepln' On.

' ' ' If you don't give the devil his due ho will come later after It. Some Coos Bav men aren't home enough to get acquainted with their family. Half the people Inthe world are working the other half for chumps; and doing well. " from fighting. A man calls It amuse ment, and lets them fight It out. A girl may be backward about an nouncing her engagement, but she expects you to notice her engage ment ring, Just the same. Not one man In a thousand can tell a "story" well; yet every man tries It. And how tho poor story tellers drag ont the details! Look yourself over carefully. Is It the ambition of your life to see how mnny people you can make mis erable? There are plenty of such people; you are not above suspicion. "Why don't you think. of mar riage?" asked Harry Skinner of Ray Kaufman as they promonnded around tho billiard table at the Mllli coma. "I do," answered Ray; "lt'3 thinking of It that keeps me 'a bachelor." The grammar should make "born and raised" a correct expression; everybody uses it. ,- ! . , , Old people do not treat young peo pje right, and young people do not treat old people right. Laziness may be a disease but some Coos Bay fellows who have It seem to be perfectly happy. A satisfactory thing about Inherit ing a lot of money Is you don't need to Inherit any brains with It. Look at ten women these days and the way seven of them wear their hair will make you laugh. Early morning drives' are said to be the latest or rather tho earliest Milngs In society circles.

We believe It Is the story about sin being enjoyable. the old A man's ideal place to spend an evening is one where he can go home as early a3 he wants to. Every man thinks he Is a good Judge of beauty but a lot of differ ent kinds of women get married. Tho pictures should be changed. Cupid is no longer a boy child with un arrow, but a girl child with a gun. A man cannot convince you that he is cultured th first time, he meets you, but many of them attempt it. In most of our planning . and scheming our hopes .take a tumble or two. We spend half a life time dreaming how few of our dreams come true. You know that you work like the dickens, Investing your garden In seeds which afterwards went' to the chickens while you reap ed a harvest of weeds. In the book of her dreams a maid's lover Is a sort of a prnce through and through :a hero from cover to cover how few of her dreams come true! A young man will dream of his fair one, the fairest that ever drew breath; and the woman he marries would scare one with her temper and looks, half to death. But think of the terrlable nightmare,- with demons of hideous hue, and pink anacondas stop right there! Sup pose that those dreams come true? : -.

THE SUGAR TRUST has paid the last Installment of a fine amounting in all to $2,134,000 for defrauding tho government by trickeries with the scales. The pay ment nmounta virtually' to an admis sion of guilt and makes ridiculous ono of tho pleas 6f tho combine that It was unawnro of tho exlsteuce of tho swindling springs. Tho sugar trust Is ono of tho greatest benoflclnrlos under the 'tar iff, but this ha3 not contented It. 'Its Tho empty back seat of a big automobile Is one of the things that add to the discontent of the man on foot. The only man ,whp can bore you more than the one who preaches what ono ought to do Is the one who does It.

There Is only a difference In degree betwdon the malefactor who goes aft er millions and tho small one who boats his custoniers out of pennies.1 And he has tho less claim upon pop ular respect.
