THE POHT COMMISSION SUIT. EVERY resident of the territory embraced within the confines of the Port of Coos Bay will bid hearty good speed to the efforts lo hasten a decision In the suit which Is retarding and preventing the im portant project of the development cf the harbor. Just at the present time when the attention of men pro minent in the railway world Is directed toward this section It would be advantageous to have all these evidences of divisive strife submerg ed and settled. While this suit has been generally deplored It serves the one good pur poso of securing a final settlement of tho exact legal status of the Port Commission. A confirm atory edict will for all time, lay every ambiguity attaching to Its conditions and existence and entrench It so firmly and legally to avert all possible future chance for dispute, denial or disruption as may arlso to hamper or qualify Its organ ic authority to act. It's warrants, it's negotiations, It's contracts will hnvo the substance of perfect estab lishment nntl incontrovertible rule and power, wherewith to launch, build and malinain tho big Improve ments necessary to the development of this harbor. Tho Commission will then possess an assured status upon which to approach tho Govern ment ltsolf In Its search for recog nition and endorsement, as well t as for tho aid that may bo expected Irom that sourco at such times as it shall bo essential. It Is worth much to bo free from luest!on and attack. And so Import ant a creation as the Port Commis sion Is entitled to tho soundest and freest status that can bo attained. Evoryono will bo glad to seo the ter mination of this suit for the sake of tho results which aro hopefully an ticipated and tho latitude of safe and effective action that must cujil, Tho sooner it is settled the sooner will Coos Bay havo the necessary im provements and all of her port ap purtenances and benefits. ,atp and the chorus girl sings about .. ii. .it all this has changed. Tho .msia Domestlca is no longer the in nocent common hojse fly. He Is the Tjphoid fly and camped on his trail are not a few nervous females but phjs.eians and etomologists, board3 of health, business men's associations and civic improvement leagues, pure food societies and ami-tuberculosis societies and every reformer who has a little spare time from his other re forms. The concensus of opinion among these wise people Is that there Is nothing to be said for the fly. He breeds In 111th and he carries dis ease and the picture they draw of his rapid transit from the manure pile to tho baby's glass of milk Is enough to give us typhoid fever from sheer fright. We are told that If there is no dirt there will be no flies and the anti-fly crusaders are wisely sending out their campaign literature before the fly season opens. Our only hope is to got in ahead of the fly for If left to Itself, its descendants during a single season, according to the con scientious calculation of a scientist, will amount to 8,134,000,000. Even if some of them should perish n the butter, that's a pretty big number to reckon with. Florida, Georgia and Louisiana have ambarked In the anti-fly cru sade officially. The women of Cali fornia havo organized for the pur pose. The Department of Labor in New Jersey has issued an order that all bakeries must be screened. Oregon must not be behind the, times If she Is not so already. A woman who came here from the east last year said she was amazed at the carelessness which was permitted In Marshfleld and she found proof of Its baneful effect In the number of files which was far greater than In her former eastern home. There are two fundamental rules In tho anti-fly crusade. Rule 1 Keep everythln so clean that there can be no flies. Rule 2 When you see a fly that is the result of some body else's carelessness swat him The fly, of course.

He joined the Elks and Eagles; he joined the K. of P's.; he bio wed in all he had to pay initiation fees. He borrowed money of his friends and put them on he bum to take out life insurance In the El Kafoozeleum. He was a Modern Woodman and he head ed the parade, an ax upon his should er that had a wooden blade; his wife at home was wrestling with the gnarly knot, try to split a splinter off to keep the cook stove hot. He went Into the Workmen, but ho had no love for work, a kind of lodge bacil lus In his system seemed to lurk, and when he went up town to buy pota toes, meat or tea, he was very apt io spend tne cash in taking some de gree. One night the lodges combin ed and gave a banquet rare, and you bet your bottom dollar, the Jiner, he was there. He ate some cheese and pickles and a bait of oysters fried, then took a first class founder and went right home and died. NdV when the fact was proven by his sad and weeping wife, sho was handed twenty thousand In Insurance on his life. She said, "I see that everv- thlng has come my way at last," and sho got her second husband before the year had parsed.

The Senator expects to sail for Europe May 21. He would not say whether he would seo Roose velt on the other side before the lat ter sailed for New York where he is due June 17. Root goes to the Ha gue as one of the American repre sentatives In the Newfoundland fish eries dispute. .People who are Inclined to "knock' because they say prices of property on Coos Buy and In Coos county are too high will be Interested In the fact that two thousand two hundred dollars an acre was paid for six and a half acres of eighteen-year-old appple orchard In the Hood River Valley! Takes your breath? That was the rate which an eastern man paid, recently for a small farm In the famous orchard district border ing the Columbia river and which has made Oregon grown apples famous the world over. The total sum paid for the land was $14,400. The new owner also purchased seven ac res of brush land adjoining, for which he paid 52S.00 per acre, a record price for unimproved land. Coos Bay and the Coquille valley will have to get up and go some to beat that. The soil Is here. Now who can make such a showing?

IT MATTERS NOT. (By Robert V. Can-.) It matters no. what restless man may seek, Fame, glory or a heap of glittering gold, Each season slugs the same sweet thrilling song, And every day the same old tale Is told, It matters not what boastful man may shout. What vain, reforms that demagogues may spawn The tree are heedless and the flow ers mute lloneath the ghostly mists of chang leas dawn. It matters not what puny man may build. Palace, hut or monstrous pile of stoue, A moment and the patient earth re bels, And Sorrow stalks the silent s.reets alone. It matters not what man may bab ble of, ASTRAY IN .MAILS, $.-,000.

And happy is tho house that can havo both, for it Is very near to God in two directions. If you listen near the corner where grand ma sits and makes little things for the children you will always hear music If you have any inward ear at all, for the celestial harmonies are just straining themselves to play something sweet enough to be heard in two worlds at once. Somebody once wrote a song about the quilt that grandma made and of the stor ies she told of the time When grandma's hair was golden brown, And the warm blood came and went, O'er the face that could scarce have been sweeter then Than now.
