He is o.xiiected to bo tho iiioittbiileee and iiersonul organ of every cause In which his community Is Interested. It rarely cvor haii pens when ti local organization (or mutual benefit at tho town In which ho lives Is lo bo formed by u fow 11 vo, progiesslvo, but often very thrifty citizens, that the cost of tho uecer,uury und absolutely essential publicity Is paid to tho local editor. He Is supposed to be a chnrltnb.c niogtiphoiio and too often ho is (or anybody or any thing that hap pens ulotig. Ti.u local merchant often feels that the smnll monthly pittance doled out lu uxennngo for a gonerous iului Using space, Is like money do natwl to any charitable Institution- orphan nsyliim or a homo for the fecblc-mlndcd. It rarely occurs to the local murchtiut, Irrcspectlvo of whether he Is n dry goods merchant, grocer or local retail lumber dealer, or simply an Individual who hns de cided that merchandising consists in buiug u fow goods and marking up a pi Ice without regard to ((uallty or previous condition or servitude. And this Is often too often the type of merchant ho has to deal with. To succeed, tho avcrngo countiy ucvsKpiiper man hns to be as wluo us .i serpent and harmless as a dove. The plea of tunny of tho merchants against' supporting tho country newspaper Is based upon tho thooiy that either everyone In the commu nity knows tho store Is in existonco, or tho big mail order houses of Spo kane. Great Falls, Hillings, Salt Lake, Seattle, Tncomn, Portland, San Francisco, Minneapolis, Chicago, Now York, or Paris, aro getting the business, and henco advertising would bo probably of llttlo more value than n serenndo nt n funeral. Tho editors ot tho Inland Kmplro mot nt Spokane on Juno 22, and or ganized mi association for mutual helpfulness, nt which It was tho plcasuro of Tho Tlmburmnn odltor to bo present. Tho resolution which hits the nnll squarely on tho head when a lot of maudlin sympathy is being extended to tho mossback mer chant, Is to tho point. Hero it Is: Wo further hollovo that tho mer chants of tho smnll cities and towns aro In n measure responsible for tho Inroads of tho mall order houso upon their trndo. Having tho ad vantage of Immcdtnto nnd porsonnl contact with their customers, they should, by ndoptlng modorn mer chandising methods nnd through in telligent nnd perslstont advertising, bo able to compoto successfully with said mnll ordor houses. Tho resolution also doprecated tho Bending of money nwny to tho vari ous largo cities when tho goods can often bo purchased nt homo for loss money, bollovlng that such n courHc Is Inimical to tho development and upbuilding of tho community.

This now brings us up to tho crux of this uitlclo: What the lumber manufacturing interests owo to tho country newspapers, and tho policy they should pursuo towards them. A recital of a fow of tho active campaigns which these powerful lor cul organs for moulding public oplu lou have nsslsted to carry to success Tho forest flro legislation ot tho various Western States wus made possible largely through their advo cacy of tho cause. Without tho co-operation of the country newspapers tho strong and vigorous public sentiment which susf tnlns tho efforts of tho local stale forest flro associations, and the biondcr and more comprehensive work ot tho Western Forestry and Conservation Assoclntiou would not be possible. In the pnssugo ot tho splendid workmen's compensation law now ..I effect In the Stnto of Washington, the zcnl and disinterested advocacy of tho country press was tho real dominant powor which forced this meritorious pleco of humaiio legisla tion through a none too willing leg islature. Hacked by tho umbulancc cluiBlng lawyer, tho casualty Insur ance company, which fnttons nt thi exponso of tho lnjurod workman on ono hand, and tho Imperative necos sltlcs of tho employer on tho othor. The passage of similar laws In th? various stntos can only bo made pos sible through tho co-operation or tho country nowspapors. For reasonable and just tnxatlon laws affecting every class ot prop erty. In national affairs tho country newepapors of tho States of Mon tana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon nnd California did tholr full share in tho pnssngo of tho amendment io tho Interstate Commorco Act, which guarantees to every slilppor tho right to bo heard boforo his rnto can be advanced. A stnblo freight rato as essential to tho manufacturer as a stublo currency.

Sonator llornh will bear testimony to tho lnvnluablf service of tho country press. Irri gation means moro to tho lumboj- business or mo west tiinn to a") othor sluglo industry. In this brlof cursory rovlow of soiiio of tho measures which tho country press has aided, tho writer speaks with authority, os It came io his hand to holp cronto tho senti ment which mndo possible tho en actment of much of this logtslatio... When labor troubles como and thoy coino unblddou llko u plaguo of locusts tho I. W. W. hordo swopt all boforo thorn for a tlnio. The country press, always consorvatlvo, counselled tho men to remain nnd work, and discounted tho move ment lu ovory way possible In financial crises in many a com munity tho porsonnl equation of tho editor of tho local nowspnpor often scarcely known nnd llttlo appreciat ed, has helped stem the tide of dis aster. Hut why continue? What can bo dono by tho lumber Industry to ropny and continue to do sorvo tho support of theso brnvo country nowspnpor men who with often only a hatful of typo holp light the battles? Quo word tells It all: Advertlso and advortlso liberally. See that ovory man jack around the mill nnd offlco subscribes for tho papor. Have your Job work printed by tho local press, whorovor nosBlblo. It tho local newspaper offlcos aro .not equlppod to do tho work, lot them hnndlo tho ordor. Tho big prlntor in tho city will pay a com mission and In tlmo, as tho com munity dovelops, tho local plant will bo prepared to do tho work; but glvp him a chance first Wo aro hearing n groat deal theso days of what tho rotall lumber doal- or owes to tho local nowspnper. This Is doubtless truo but tho manufac turer of lumber owes more. Ho owes tho very crontlon of Just Inws To tho Kdltor: Southern Oregon asleep at tho switch. Coos Pay to bo bridged by tho railroad monopoly of Southern Oregon, unless tho people fight to ro talu that great natural and open har bor for their own benefit. Tho Panama Canal Is already con trolled by tho railroad lntorosts. Stoamshlp lines afford no competi tion or rollcf from robbing rntes be tween this coast and tho cast, because they aro controlled by tho Interests that control tho railroads. Southern Oregon stands still whllo no now business can bo undertaken whllo U Is dominated by a railroad monop oly.

Wo present herewith a list ot slang words, Tho use of any ot those words ought to bo mado a penal of' fenso.piinlshment to bo a term of Im prisonment. No slang word ought to bo used by any respectablo American citizen undor 21 years ot ago; after that tlmo, given a cortaln amount of oxperlenco and discrimination, a Judicious use of slang may bo per missible. This list Is by no moans complote, bilt It is belloved to com prehend tho worst offenders. Wo shall bo glad to recelvo additions from our readers: Beat It! Flossy. Peeved. Sure! Classy. Fussed. Speedy. Old Top. Peachy. Nutty. It's a cinch. Getting your goat. Whnt do you know about that? Life. Of! nil tho timber In Western Oregon hns been cut, provided it is not mado use less by railroad encroachments. It is up to Southern Oregon to protect its advantages. Will tho pcoplo surrender without n protest or a strugglo because so far they aro shut lu llko rats In a trnp? Any other plnco In tho United States would sco tho pcoplo ready to light to a Mulsh any nttempt to Steal a har bor llkd Coos Bay, oven If they did not expect to uso It themstlves, they would protect It for tholr children; but Southern Oregon Bleeps while tho inosM nnd whiskers grow. Tho east ern mnn hns a lot ot ambition and grit when ho comes here, but ho soon loses that nnd becomes ns stupid ns n Mexican or an Orcgonlnn. Many Southern Oregon pcoplo do not rea lize tho vnluo of uuos Uny to them becnti8o tho railroads have deprived them of Its ndvnntngcs; they do not realize that nuturo made only one such plncu between San Francisco nnd rho Columbia River wlioro Inrgo ves soIb can snll In nnd land, nnd whllo tho railroads hnvo for good reasons avoided building thorc, we hnvo bcon shut off from Its advantages. Many business men know that with 05 tulles ot railroad to Roscburg and 100 miles moro to tho Rouo River Valley, nil ot Southern Oregon would save nt least 50 per cent In freight rates, which would mako those val leys moro prosporoiiB nnd causo Im mediate development of our decaying forcBiu. opon our mines und our minds, and causo an Incrcaso In im migration to dovolop tho Idle lands that can not bo used now except for pasture Tho policy of tho govern ment In tho past has bcon to refuse permission to any railroad to bridge nnvlgnhlo bays, but tho powor of tho combines In politics is now so great that thoy can got what thoy want whllo tho people aro asleep. Coos Buy Is so situated that It Is Just as far around It as across It, henco tho glaring gall of tho uttompt to shut it In. I hnvo no land on Coos Bny or lu Coos County, but I ap preciate tho value of tho bay to tho Umpqua und Roguo River Valleys, whoso pcoplo should bo moro Inter ested In it than tho Isolated pcoplo who llvo on its shores nnd do not upproclato It as thoy should.

Boforo I was married I had visions of oponlng cans from tho storo, and then opening moro cuns, and having an "oaay tlmo." Aftor eight years of mnrrlod llfo nnd housekeeping from tho first day, I want to say I novor buy canned fruit or vegetables, it I can holp It. I novor had put up a slnglo can until aftor I was mnrrlod, but I soon learned and can do It successfully. My husband trios to ralso all tho fruits and vocotables wo can cat fresh and then have ouough for canning for tho wlntor season. Wo have found plonsuro In storing and stor ing, as tho squiirois uo, writes uora S. Lupton lu Farm ana liomo. Thoro nro threo In tho famly, anfl 1 can 100 canB ot tomatoes, 250 quart cans full of various kinds of fruit, and sorno othor vogtablos and Jolly. 1 llko to know things aro picked from our own laud. I llko to cook tho fruit and storlllzo tho cans with my own bauds. I did not havo a sin gle can spoil last year, and they have all bcon used but throo cans of pcachos. I commonco tho canning season with strawberries. Tho first day I did a dozon cans. I do not object tp several cans of tho strawberry juice, tor it Is fluo to pour ovor unflnvored lea cream, as wo often mnkto It In wlntor as woll as summer. I do not Intend to spend all my days or all of any day In tho kltchon, but I do In tend to soo that tho surplus which Is plucked does not spoil, , I bollovo homo-canned stuff Is by far tho best, and I hnvo lsarnod tp llko to do tho work, and now thorp Is nothing pleasant In tho thought of opening tho tin can stuff from thp stores. The "Tomporary" Wife. Mrs. Leslie Milno. who writes "Shans at Home," tells nn nmuslng story of a Hindu dispenser connected with ah American mission who daring tho absenco of the missionary took a Shan wife In addition to his Hludu wife, who was In Calcutta. When tho mls slonary returned be was very Indlgi pant nuturaHy disapproving of polyg amy and the dispenser came to Mrs. Lesllo's bonso to ask her to Intercede for him. "What have I done?" he said. "1 may by our custom have many more wives than one. so I said lo the snhlb. 'Sir. be not angry: It was only a temporary measure.' but the more I thought lo please him by Idl ing him that it was only temporary tho moro angry he became." Boforo tho Introduction of tea and coffeo our ancestors usod various kinds of boor, and their only substl- J tuto for sugar was honoy. Thoro Is nn olomont In longevity Mint cannot ho ascertained or pnssod upon by nnyono oxcopt tho mnn him self, My opinion Is that ovory man should bo his own physician, nnd ho 6hou!d bo wlso enough nnd sano onough to mnko a diagnosis of his own enso spiritually, montally, pliysieally much closor than nny ono olso ovor possibly could. Tho ono thing In human llfo that no ono but tho man himself knows, is, how long does ho oxpoot to llvo. It In a protty good general rule that, barring nccldout, the mnn will llvo ns long us ho expects to, or, If you please, as long as ho wants to, or hopgs to, Many pooplo aro obsossod with tho fallacy that tho ago ot man 1b fixed at tho limit ot threo scoro and tcni nnd so, with a vast numbor of poo- I lo, whon thoy aro around 65 they hogln to propnio to shuffle off. They quit business, rotlro from actlvo work closo up tholr affairs, and whon thoy do theso tilings, death and dissolution aro at tho door. Thoro aro other men who work on until thoy aro 80, and then thoy do oxuetly what tho othor man did at 70, with a llko result. Great numbors of very strong, ac tlvo, onrnost men reach the ngo of 80, and dio at 82, 83, 84. And tho icason for this pnsalng U not bo much n physical ono as It is a men tal. Theso mon hnvo fixed this ngo limit In tholr minds, nnd tholr on tiro llfo and death conform to tho Idea. As n gonoral proposition I would say tho way to llvo to be 100 is, not to consider tho question ot tlmo, but simply to contlnuo an active,, earn est Intoiost In human affairs, and not ovoront. Tho Individual who looks for easo and rest, nnd bodily gratification, bo ho young or old, Is In a dangerous position. To ollmlnnto tho toxins which nccruo In tho human body, ac tivity Is posltlvoly necessary. Tho activity of mind reacts on tho organs of tho body. So thought is ,a phys ical process, and to gain this elimi nation which Insures health, no man should ovor think of retiring, from business nnd quitting tho gamo. If you rotlro from one .thing you must tako up something olso that is moro difficult. Chango of occupation Is a groat factor In human health; but tho ono thing that makes a man llvo long Is nn earnest vow early In life, woll kept, to "never say die!" Only such a ono can mako a cen tury run, and tho death ot tho con tonarlan Is almost without excoptlon a painless process. And no physical examination can probe theso Inner facts and attltudo of tho man's mind. The Individual himself knows and can dotermlno how long ho will llvo, better than anyono olso possible .can; and I bollovo ho can himself, If ho Is honest with himself, size up his pase, and, barring accidents, figure the day of his death, as Moses did on, Mount Horoh.
