" Ultra-contcrvatlsm often lota oppor tunities pass which a livelier spirit would turn to gocd amount. The world's progress is not mado by tLo con servatives who bilievo ip letting well enough atone. New fields are not open ed up and cities are not b'uilt by them, Consetvatlim is ft valuable balance wheel, bnt when it is entirely too heavy for tho motive power of the engines the wtole machinery comes to a stop. Tho Marehfield machine has, until lately, teen slowing down for a year or two, solely because the motive power ol the propgceslva spirit was over-weighted by the balance wheel. There seemed ven danger tbattbo wotght'was grow ing heavy enough to bring the whole concern to a standstill. Now, however, the burden eeeme to be lightening and the power increasing and tho old machine is turning up n good many more revolutions per minute than it was a short tfmo ago, The conservatism which kills ell pro gress is taking a seat far enough back to allow a little leeway to those who would infuse more life into the bus- esa atmosphere. This is as it should bo, and if the progressive spirit contin pes to grow, there is no doubt but Marahfleld will continue to be the best town on, the coast. . WHAT A CHANGE! Strange what a change is coming over the spirit of some people's dream about Major Kinney! If the payment of fSOOO makes such a difference, what may we expect when the Major digs up for the final payment on the Flanagan land? There will probably be a torchlight pro ceseion, with bands and banners, with, prominent bankers and newspaper men of the town in carriages, while Dr. Tower, II. Sengstacken and the editors ol the Coast Mail will bring up the rear on foot. It will bq a great show- watch for it. A New Industry, The Coob Bay Creamery Co. Jiavo ordered tho machinery and will Install a plant for evaporating and drying nil the ekiiri milk. This product will be iold in the regular market. The dried article ia used in the preparation of eiz. ,ing for paper and other articles. This will give the farmers ono more way of 'turning their skim milk into dollars.
