ROADS, AND ROAD BUILDING. THE COOS BAY TIMES takes high ground In the matter of roads and public highways. It believes there Is no. course of civic procedure so Immensely profitable In a communal way as the rightful building of direct and arterial high ways. Always, of course within the premise, of judicious outlay of the public monies and crucial over sight of the lines, methods and quality of the roads built. For this premise It desires to state that some complaints have been made at this office of the wasteful methods of work among those engaged In the construction of the county roads, and if these stric tures are susceptible of adequate proof; It all goes to the core of the question of methods used and the men employed. The report of the office of public roads connected with the depart ment of agriculture is usually Inter esting, and this year Director L. W. Page Is able to announce great pro gress In the good roads movement. Ho says no subject is engaging the attention of the state legislators at the present time In greater degree than road Improvement. More than half the states have adopted the principle of state aid and state supervision over all or part of the roads, and the remaining states are all considering now road laws. Expenditures from state treasuries have reached a total of nearly $60,000,000 "annually, prac tically all of which is devoted to the building of hard roads. Tho figures for county bond Issues In tho Interest of modern thorough fares are not available, but they must havo reached an immense total in the last year. Los Angeles coun ty In California alone appropriated $3,000,000 for this purpose. The growth of public sentiment In favor of good roads Is felt by tho government olllce through the in crease in the volume of Inquiries for Information that come In. The gov-' eminent has long conducted demon stration work, anil In tho last few years has done much valuable ex perimenting with now materials and methods of construction. Tho chief problem nt present Is to find a combination that will success fully withstand the destructive ac tion of automobile tiros. The ef forts of tho highway engineers are directed toward devising a preser vative and binder that may be ap plied to tho surface of any road, rendering It dustloss and that will not bo too expensive. In this connection a report that haB just come from an American consul in Germany might bo men tioned. It Is claimed that a new compound known as npokonln Is proving more satisfactory than any thing which has previously beon tested, Its procew of manufacture Is secret, but coal-tnr oils are evi dently iu main Ingredients. Under pressure an Iron-like formatlou Is producul. which snow and rain can not peneirato. The composition i said to have everything In Its fcivor from tho Military point of view. It is n germicide and destroys all bac teria that lodge in the highway. How to Make Them Thrive by Observ ing' Simple Rules. The best exposure for house plants in the winter is, as a general thing, u southern one. The next best H mi eastern nue. Some plants can li' grown in western windows, but they never do as well us in the other expo sures, chiefly because of the Intense heat of the afternoon sun. If care is taken, however, to shade the glass during the hottest part of the day It Is possible to grow plants well under these conditions. A few plants do well In a north win dow. Tho lack of sunshine prevents the production of dowers. But many foliage plants thrive. They require much less wnter because evaporation, duo to nbsonse of sunshine, takes place in such n location more slowly. Give only the amount of water needed to keep the soil moist. More will cause a souring of the soil, n condition sel dom met with when plants are fully exposed to sunshine. In a northern location the soil around the roots should be turned over at least once a week to allow tho sun to reach It and. ns it were, purify it. Some plants, like the geraniums and carnations, can hardly get too much sunshine. Another thing plants require Is ven tilation. A florist always has the fin est system of ventilation In bis bouses. Of course It is hard to get things down to such fine points In a private house, but we can. by raising and lowering windows, frequently change the at mosphere to nil life. Another matter of Importance In plant growing is watering. Showering Is almost as necessary as root water ing. The leaves of the plant are cov ered with pores, and the plant breathes through them. If these pores become clogged with dust and dirt the plant surely suffers. Showering, therefore, removes the dirt from the pores and. generally speaking, insures a healthy plant. Where n plant falls to get this moisture the leaves turn yellow and fall off, and the plant akes on a sickly appearance. In the bouse during the winter it Is ,a great benefit to plants to keep water evaporating on stoves, register or ra diators In rooms where artificial heat is used. While sweeping or dusting the roonrindoors or the piazza outdoors it Is well to cover plants with a light thin cloth. Another thing to remember is to remove nil dying leaves as soou ns they turn yellow; also cut off nil flowers as soon as they commence to fade and never throw them down among the plants to decay. If a plant shows a tendency to grow tall and branchless cut It back at least one third. TOOLED LEATHER WORK. How to Make Useful and Inexpensive Articles From Calfskin. Inexpensive nud useful articles may be made from calfskin and tooled. A skin containing six square feet costs 30 cents a square foot. Music bags, table mats, cardcases, bill books, nee dlebooks, purses and glove cases can be made from It. First make an exact copy on paper of the article you wish to make. Place leather on piece of marble or soap- stone with pattern on top and trace' nil Hues with a hard pencil. Then wet leather quite wet on wrong side with a sponge or soft cloth. Go over all lines ou right side with a nut pick, pressing hard. Then with a nail set costing 10 cents nnd hammer bring out the design by tooling merely plac ing nail set on leather and pounding with hammer. If initials nre used tool all around, leaving letters plain. If leaves or flowers are used tool nil around, leaving design plain, or vice versa. The veins In loaves may be put In with nut pick. The articles may be stitched on sew ing machine with buttonhole twist to match leather and leave edges raw. FIGHT AT KMERYVILL! How to Wash a Plume. The advice given by oue woman for washing a plume is as follows: Lay the plume in a suds made of good white soap and cold wnter nnd let it stand for two or three hours. Then put into hot water, where it should re main about twenty minutes. Then, with a piece of soft cloth or silk dip ped In soapsuds, remove nny dirt which may remain. Lay it on n clean towel and touch with n pleco of cloth rolled up to restore the curl. When almost dry, shake until fluffy, place In tissue paper and put It In the warming oven of the stove to dry thoroughly. If necessary use tho dull side of an ivory pnper cutter in restoring the curl. How to Make Nice Clothes Hangers. Nice homemade clothes hangers can bo mado from ordinary wooden hoops cut nny desired length. Cover them with n padding of cotton batting that has beon sprinkled liberally with vio let, orris root or any other sachet pow der. The hanger should then bo bound with narrow Dresden ribbon or sllpjied into a shirred ribbon ease made to tit. They are excellent for gifts, SEP the SEA SHELLS HAY CASH STORK. nt COOS EASTSIDE IS A WINNER. How to Cleau Cooking Vessels. . Never uso a knife to scrape the food stutVs that may adhere to a cooking utoiibll. Fill tho vessel with cold wa ter, adding a little soda or washing powder, sot on the stove until it comes to a boll and then empty. Now pour In frosh hot water and. If scrubblug is necessary, use a brush kept specially for that purpose. Great Racing Course Scone of Jef fries Johnson Fight. SAN FRANCISCO, Mar. 14. Within a day or two architects will begin laying plans for the great arena to he constructed on the Emeryville race track, whero after three months of uncertainty and some snarling,. Promoters Gleason and RIckard havo decided to stage tho Jeffries-Johnson fight. Immediately after the racing oca son closes construction work will be begun and be continued practically up to the day of the fight. No definite seating capacity ha3 been decided upon, but the plans will be so drawn that arrangements for accommodating 50,000 specta tors will be made. It Is designed to build back from the ring as . the demand for seats comes in, thus avoiding the danger of over-building. Sections will be built from day to day, additions be ing made much on the order of the sectional bookcase, giving the 1 ullders an opportunity, even up to the last day of providing more rcom, if the demand for seats ne cessitates It. ! i i Have you Tried It? !

PORTLAND, Ore,, March 11. If the plans announced by A. Dun ham, owner of the steamer New port, when he was In this clty re cently, are carried out, that vessel will resume her run between this city and Coquille River, about May 1. The steamer is now at Eureka, where she was laid up during the winter. The Newport was put into service in the early part of the winter, but her owners saw fit to take her off the run, owing, it was reported, to a slack demand for Coquille coal. Mr. Dunham's recent announce ment that he would have a new ves sel constructed that would specially suit the wrk on the route from this place to points on the Coquille creat ed much interest among the people of that place, who believe their coal and other products are entitled to good transportation service, and that if this is supplied, the country will undergo a period of rapid devel opment. Most of the coal Interests as well as 'nearly all the transportation fa cilities on the Coquille River are controlled by Mr. Dunham.
