-4 THE COOS BAY TIMES, MARSHFIELD, OREGON, FRIDAY, MAY 29, 1914 EVENING EDITION. i COOS BAY TIMES, M. O. MAIjONKV Editor nnd Tab. DAN E. MALONKY News Editor Official Paper of Coos County MIKK DOXXKLLY'S LAWSUIT. THERE'S nothing llko sticking to It, particularly In a lawsuit. Consider the ense of Michael Donnelly of Now York, Dack In 1891 Donnelly brought suit against Patrick ,T. McArdle, his partner In the Junk business. They woro milking monoy, but had dls ngreod, and Donnelly wanted an ac counting and sottlotncnt. Ills part ner thoreupon produced an nllcgoU bill of salo tending to show that Donnolly had transforrod his Interest to McArdle for $1.00. Donnelly mnlntalned that when ho slgnod that bill of Bale bo did not know what he was doing. That doesn't look llko a tremen dously difficult mnttor for tho courts to dectdo. If tho nverago In telligent American wcro asked to rcforoo such a dispute botweon nolghbors he could probably settlo it fairly In about fifteen minutes. Hut this enso wasn't In tho hands of tho nvorngc Intelligent American. It was entrusted to tho olaborato nnd costly machinery of American Court Proceduro Hint we'vo built up. An'' hero's tho result: Tho mnttor has been boforo thir ty-six Justices of tho state supremo court. It litis been boforo tho np pollato division bIx times. Nlnoty thrco Inwyors have been employed, somo of thoiu of national promt nonco. Sovorul htindrod witnesses liavo boon examined in New York City nnd Albnny. Hut- the plaintiff ut last has won A. M. SIMPSON' COLLIDES WITH DRUDGE MICIIIE Tho A. M. Simpson whllo go ing out to sea this afternoon collided with tho bar dredgo P. S. MIchie. Tho Mlchio sustained somo datnago and sont for tho tug Powors to bring her back to Empire. Tho Simpson proceeded to sea ami wns evidently not damaged. The accident occurred near tho mouth of tho bay. Tho extent of tho damngo to tho Miclilo Is not known. ins buu. ho naB ucon awarded a Judgment for $48,000. And It only cost him $180,000 In lawyer's fees and other expenses, nnd twenty-threo years of his life. LET US TALK IT OVER STRAWBERRY HISTORY. Tho strawberry originated from nbout 130 species. It is n nntlvo of tno Andes mountains and tho north tompernto zone. Tho strawborry is so called because tho long stems rcscmblo straws. Tho Btrnwberrlcs may bo grown In any region be tween Florida and Alaska. Tho United States has alone 1000 varie ties. Tho first strawberries Intro duced wns in 1831, tho ilovcy bor rlos, a variety which was originat ed In Massachusetts. Tho strawborry's botanical nam'o Is "Frngnrla Rocacca," It Is so called becauso frngnrla means frag rant nnd rosacea means rose color. Tho strawborry was mado its pres ent slzo by cultivation and tho crossing of two kinds of berries. Tho cultivated forms wero all do rived by hybridization nnd crossing of rhrco kinds. THAT waB a Bplondld statemont of Coos Day's needs made in The Tlmos last evening by Mr. C. A. Smith. It might properly be called a preachment of tho Dath of duty that lends to prosperity. "Coos Bny needs nioro fnctories, moro sawmills, moro wood working establishments nnd above all moro people who will cutlvnte nnd develop tho lands around hero." That's something on which tho Chamber of Commerce and tho com munity might got togothor to ndvantngo Moro people to cultlvato and dovelop tho land Is probably Coos Hay's greatest need at this time. It Is a marvel to evory stranger who arrives here, as It Is to Mr. Smith, that a country with the agricultural, horticultural and truck gar dening possibilities of tho Coos Bay country should bo Importing contin uously vegetables and fruits that might bo grown at home. Tho degrco of prosperity enjoyed by a country or n community Is m oxnet proportion to tho extent that Its exports exceed Its Imports, Tho community that sends monoy from homo to purchase that which nngni bo produced locally Is Impoverishing Itself and endnngcring its prosperity. Every steamer arriving from San Francisco and Portland brings hundreds of dollars' worth of vegetables and fruits that might bo produced on Coos Hay or In tho Coqulllo Volley. It Is tlino that this section awakened to tho lmportanco of this mat ter. It is not only n drain upon tho community but it retards development. At present tlioro nro thousands of Idlo men In all the cities along tho Pacific Coast. There aro thousands of acres of Idlo land In the Coos Hay country nnd the Coqulllo Valley. Let us bring tho idlo mon nnd the Idlo land togothcr and havo both get busy producing things for tho world's needs. The task niny bo a difficult ono but It Is not Impossible or Insur mountable. It may require somo monoy but more than thnt is required a syBtomatlc nnu feasible plan by which tho project niny be worked out in n practical way. It is a task that Is worthy the best thought and tho best effort of our best men. A committee embracing somo of tho prominent nnd practical mon of affairs on Coos Hay and tho Coqulllo Valley and somo of tho prominent ranchers of tho county should got together to con sider this Important subject. No othor ono thing would bo of so great nn Individual nnd commiinnl benefit as tho successful solution of this problem. Clot tho Idlo men nnd tho Idle land together.
