J Klght thousand customers of Coos County merchants are now listed on the hooks of the Coos County Busi ness Men's Association, according to the report of Secretory Powell. Thus hnvo the business men built up a method of protection ngalnst "dead i bents." j Of thls number 5,000 are lu North He ml nnd Mnrshfleld and tho other i 3,000 hnvo been added since the In corporation into the association n short time ago of merchants from Coqullle, Myrtle I'olnt and Hnndon. i On Monday. Mr. I'owell expects to lenvo for a three days trip In tho , Valley, thero to meet the merchants , nnd dlstrlbuto tho ratings. In addl- I tlon to this work ho already hns col lected some $G00 for merchants in tho pnst fivo weeks on accounts long outstanding. Under tho system now in vogue, it is poislblo to keep tub on custom ers all over tho county. A family asking for credit lu nny storo of tho Association can ho looked up nnd their record is rated In tho books. It is In this way that tho merchant is protected nnd knows nt onco whether or not to trust the customer by tho way In which bills have been paid in other concerns. There will bo a meeting of tho county officers of tho Association hero on May 2S- nt which tlmo the formal changing of tho nnmo to that of tho Coos County Iluslness Men's- Association will bo mndo.

RAILWAY DEAL DESCENDANTS OF OXM l'Alll SOON DUN TO .MILLIONS FORESTRY DEPARTMENT VltOKS AID IN FOIM'ST I'llOTECTIOX SMITH'S VARIETY STORE, North Bend, for Fancy and Domestic CHINA Kdltor Coos liny Times: To me the attitude of sonio of our people on the railroad question is surprising. I remember n few years ngo the one thing above all others for .which wo wero working and praying wns a railroad. We were ready to give anything to anybody that would promise lis n railroad, hut when a real road comes nnd only ask for admission Into tho town wa meet them at the city limits in n hos tile attitude a brick bat In hand. In my Judgment this Is all wrong. The Southern Pacific Co. hnvo somo valuable fnvors to pass out to somo town lit this vicinity. Somo town will bo mndo n division point and will get their shops. It will not bo n town that hns nothing but brick bats for them. Thero is n littlo story somowhero about a innn that all but needed tho services of tho family physician when ho swallowed a gnat, that was in tho habit of tnklng a camel between nicnlfl. Business men nro at tho head of tho S. P. Co. They naturally ex pect to bo approached lu n business llko way. This tnlk of forco by Mnrshfleld would bo funny If It wero not so silly. It will not get us any thing nnd may cost us much. It Is to be hoped tho Company will un derstand that this opposition docs not romo frm the real business In terests of Mnrshfleld, ns tho petition filed with tho council Monday even ing clenrly rIiowb. It springs from personal nnlmoslty nnd yellow Jour nalism. So far as tho service between hero nnd North Bond Is concerned tlit. question Is this: shnll wo cnutlniio this hourly scrvlco or shall wa havo adequato service between hero and the valley points. It.

In 30 days, to be exact, 34,302 files, all with nl strong family resemblance, held n J reunion about tho snmo uucmptled "old homestead." Tho census taken In July, 30 days later, found tho family Increased to 72.2S0.000. Tho enumerator no ticed there remained but littlo fam ily resemblance. In fact ninny brothers wero entirely unacquainted with each other. By tho first of August tho numbor hnd shot up beyond numerical com prehension and tho qunrt mensuro proved the basis of computation. Dr. C. F. Hodge, of tho Univer sity of Oregon, In n lottor, declnres this to bo but half tho story. Tho other Bldo Is tragic. "Practically 49,000 babies each year aro killed by flics," ho writes. And then It doveloped that when Wllllo Fly sported nbout oiu tho edgo of bnby's porrldgo dish ho carried dlseaso laden germs on his feet, wings nnd eyo brows nnd his teeth wore not clean. With Mary, his littlo sister, It wns tho same, In fact tho whole family was that way and Baby had to suffer.
