Coos county is one of Oregon's yreaf reservoirs id'jj

of It'll o western 'localities, it is tired ol waiting lor it.

Mr, Huywood's American exneriene-
e were comprehensive and must have1
proved enlightening, lib record of
achievement this side of the water us
sured him a royal welcome in Mus
covy, whether or not the Bolshevik)
called it just hat. We are Klad in
deed to get his point of view in the
matter, and we only wish that more
or hia dmciplea might have shared in
his adventures and profited by them
alon with him.
TlHse of u who have seen the in-

believe thut the Kussian palaces are
in a had way. '
Under the circumwtancea we can
not but wish for May Haywood a afe

he ham -learned.

Itut that'n a mistake. t
ThiTe is ice in the icrouml, ami the
ground is still frozen in certain spots
not up in the mountains, hut rig-lit
in the tity limits of North Powder.
Noi t)h Powder is known as 'the ice
manufacturing center of Oregon in
the winter time, when the supply of
water and the drop of temperature
make that powsiWe but even North
Powder herself did not know she had
acquired new honors in the ice busi
ness. 1
It uM came ubout this way. Iist
winter and spring before the frost
was out of the 'ground, the fill for
the big overhead crossing at North
Powder was commenced and hurried
along. liig chunks of frozen eurth
were dropped into the fill, and then
some 20 or 110 feet of thawed-out dirt
heaped on the chunks.
Saturday workmen began .squaring
up the fill preparatory to contrac
tion of the cement and iron portions,
and imagine their surprise when they
found frozen earth as they removed
some of the original fill. The atmos
phere ubout North Powder Saturday
was such that the frozen ground was
soon changed to a more summer-like,
state when exposed to sunlight, but
frozen gound in North Powder in the
middle of July was, nevertheless, n
fact. .

Win ships for sale! Anybody ran
buv them cheap now.
The government is trying to get
rid of hundreds of vessels, fighting
craft lis well as merchatft men. Its
ndveitisenieiits are one of the signs
of the times. Those ships are a drug
on the market. There is little demand
for them at any price. Neither' Am
erican private interests nor foreign
governments want them.
Tin is a reminder of the fact that
nearly alt wat ships are for sale, soon
