THE DOG QUESTION. . Editor Coos Bay Times: In Ihe Coos Bay Times of Monday, Judge Hall complains " in that town dogs are found As many dogs there be, Both mongrel, puppy, whelp and hound, . And curs of low degree;" and that they don't earn anything for anybody." Now this is all a mistake! These dogs, that aie now enjoying a va cation on tho lawns of Marshfield have woiked hard all winter track ing deer and pointing wild game, with which-, their .ownersjiave sup- nlied the family larder, until tne law has declared a c'osed season. The armtnts. he has routed out or treed for his master to kill, would have preyed upon tho cattle, sheep. horses and poultry of the homestead. The bounty which the county pays for the pelts, of varmints has helped to buy clothes or school bqoks for the children of the family. These same "curs" are a terror to the thieving fraternity and their "yap van" has more than once saved the family plate or household goods. Look at the way -he plays nurse maid' and so helps us save a maid's wages. He entertains the. child and watches, over him better than the ordinary maid does. In swimming time, would we ever have any peace, if there-wcro no faithful watch dog by? Doesn't the dog "earn anyytbin,K for nnybody"w hen he plays tho part of herder or rounds up the cattle ami saves us tho hiring of extra men? Let us heed that proverb from the time of St, Bernard, "Who loves me will love my dog also." J. B. P. Autos for 'Tag Day. The "Tag Day" promoters arc hard at work and much interest is being manifest. Nearly nllt of the clubs have taken hold of the work, some taking 300 tags to dispose of. Joe Schil ling has offered the free use of an auto Satuulay to help it along and others will render similar assist ance. QI'AKiTfELT IX ALBANY. ALBANY, N. Y., March 30.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 30, 1910 EVENING EDITION HELP TO START FBEE Ul (Continued from page 1.) $75 per month to tho librnry and moved that a warrant be ordered drawn for that amount. Mayor Straw wanted to know If the members of the Council would personally assure tho. library committee that they would continue to make the monthly gifts and most of them said they would. Finally on a vote, the reso lution to pay the library committee $75 was carried, all except Council men Hennessey and Nelson voting for it. City Attorney Goss explained that the library committee 'should 're tain charge of tho library until the special tax Is levied at which time the city can organize the regular li brary commission of nine members.

Last evening, the Council approv ed of the Finance Committee's report In favor of the purchase of four lots on South Fourth street, just north of the Hand Laundry, from W. J. Conrad for $2400. The four lots compose a tract 103x100 feet. The lots are to be used as a site for a fire house and warehouse for the city's machinery. Mayor Straw said that he thought that It would have been best to buy only 50x100 there and also buy i couple of lots In South Marshfield to provide for another engine house there. Councilman Powers said that as there are no water mains In South Marshfield, there was no use of hav ing an engine house there for protec tion. ,Seiigstacken AVhis Out. Last evening Mayor Straw stated to the Council that Arthur McKeown and other fire Insurance agents had requested that if the city's property was to be Insured, they would like to have a chance to write part of tho policies.

He said that as one of the largest taxpayers here, he thought he was entitled to part of it . It was found, however, that Chair man Hennessey of the Finance Com mittee of the Council, to whom the matter had been preferred lat tho last meeting, had authorized Henry Sengstacken to write all the Insur ance, $3000 The Council approve'! of this after expressing regret that the other Insurance agents had not made the request in time to permit the Council to divide it up. Ask for Conference. Chairman Savage of the Fire and , Water Committee stated that the I Coos Bay Water Company had asked the committee to confer with them about a new franchise and exten sions. Mayor Stray said the compa ny's old franchise had only seven teen years to run unci in orner 10 make the extensions of water mains and other improvements desired, the company would have to issue bonds, and this could not be done for n pe riod of less than twenty years.
