MUCH IS ' YET' UNDEVELOPED Minions of Tons of Coal in Mines and Millions jaf Feet of Timber on the Hills History of Some of the Real Estate Venture's. NORTH 'BEND, Or., Oct 23.-Speclal Correspondence.) Coos County's assess ment rolls this year was $3,633,907. This is a sain of more than $600,000 over the year before. Next year It will easily pass the $4,000,000 mark and may reach $5,000, 000. The town of North Bend will make a bi Increase" on the assessment roll next year. This by no means represents the actual value of Coos County property. County Assessor T. J. Thrift, who gives these figures, states that it Is the rule to assess property at about one-fourth its real value. Money itself and notes and ac counts are assessed at only 50 per cent. Fifteen million dollars is. a low estlmatS for the cash value of Coos County prop erty. The prospective wealth of the ogunty is many times this. For instance, the county has S00.000.p00 tons of coal and 400,000,000 of this can be mined. There is also In the county and tributary to Coos Bay 40,000,000,000 , feet of timber. Coos County with the advent of railroads is destined . to be very wealthy and will rank second only to Multnomah. ' Notwithstanding the low valuation, the tax rate Is low. The levy for county pur poses Is 33 mills, and in the towns 10 to 15 mills more is added for city and school purposes. .It is sometimes said that a low valuation and high tax rate tends to create a bad impression among invest ors, but It Is doubtful if it ever deceives a shrewd business man. Growth Gradual and Steady. Coos County, since the day it was cre ated, December 22. 1S53, has had a slow but steady growth. The year that closed with the last assessment roll marked the greatest increase in values. During the 51 years of Its existence the growth ha3 been natural and Investments as a rule have been on a solid foundation. Out side of a few local disturbances, property has had a fixed -but constantly appreciat ing value and was good security for loans. The followlngrtaoic win snow me sieaay growth in" the assessment roll for "the past seven years: 1004 .... $3.653.907,1900 $2,GS6.C50 1C03 ' 3.046.2S7 1899 2,fie0.719 1002 2.652.754 1S0S 2.581.544 1901 2,700,5351 Twenty years ago the assessment was $1,382,197. but little more than one-thira what it is now. The largest single taxpayer in the county is the Simpson Lumber Company. In round numbers it is assessed at $250.- 000 and pays into the county "treasury $S000 as Its share of the county taxes.

A Study in Town Lots.' The town lots offer an interesting sub ject. The total number of 26,147 at $150 each, which is about the average price for a lot. would more than make up the assessment roll itself. The assessment of those lots in the five principal towns In the order in which they rank in num ber of lots is as follows: Marshfleld. $30 to $900: Bandon. $1 to- HOW TO JUGGLE CAKES Demonstrator at Department Store Causes Woe in Portland Home ptsp. GLiIB-TONGDED young man, with ,j tinware to sell and knowledge of m the art of cakp-making to impart, was the cause of serious trouble in a home out on King's Heights last week, and If he knows what is good for him, he will steer clear of p. wrathy housewife, who followed certain directions of his In making that toothsome dessert. The young man in question has been giving a series of lectures In one of the depart ment stores of the city, which have been well attended by women of all ages and stations in society, from the millionaire's wife to the professional cook. The lec tures, which were free and were for the purpose of advertising the tin cake pans, flour-sifters and egg-beaters which he has to selL were on the subject of cake baking, and were demonstrated, a gas range having been put in for the occa sion. The women watched the demonstrator with interest as he deftly whipped his eggs, creamed the butter and sugar, and mixed them ail with the flour, talking a hlue streak' the meanwhile about the great advantage of using Carter's Crack Cake pans, which he warranted to do everything a cook could possibly desire. Now every woman who knows beans about making cake knows that tle very hardest part of the performance Is to bake it without "falling" or becoming "sad." A man may not know exactly what a -"sad" cake is. but he generally fees that way after he had eaten one that had a streak through It which looked soggy or uncooked. "Falling" is supposed to be caused by Jarring the stove or mov ing the pan in the oven before the dough has cooked through, and it is the reason that mother will not let the children or "father" come into the kitchen while she is doing the week's baking. "Ladies, the common fallacy about a cake falling because the pan is moved should never be believed by any sensible woman." said the lecturer, as he put a pan of cake dough into the oven. "Don't let your cook put up any such stbry when a bad cake is served. There Is absolutely nothing to it. "Why, ladies, with Carter's Crack Cake pans It Is absolutely Impos sible Jor a cake to XalL You not-'only can take the pan out of the oven while the cake Is baking." but you can turn it over you can juggle It up and down like a rubber ball, you can throw it on the table until It gets nearly cold, and yet it will finish baking when you return it to the oven and come out perfect. Ladies" "What inalla roe no sabe he don tiall you takee out an see." exclaimed n j crying spell. It is best to pull the cur Chlnese cook, who had been intently I taio. $250; Coquille, $25 to $400; Empire, -$5 to $200; Myrtle Point. $15 to $300; North Bend, $15 to $200. All these figures need explanation. "Within the year lots have sold in North Bend at $3000, but North Bend was found ed only within the past two years. The Assessor said that town next year would stand a raise of three or four times the present valuations. To make up the seemingly enormous total of lots must be added six other towns,1, Glasgow, Alleghany, Sumner, Riv- erton, Bangor and Randolph Randolph Is tiling of the past, beach-mining hav ing subsided, but the others are active communities. Some other towns never filed plats or else have gone back to acre age, namely, Millicoma, Coos City. Utter City, Coaledo, Beaver Hill, Beaverton, Freedom and Newport. There have been one or two slight flur ries in the value of town property, but only one genuine scandal 'in the history of the county. This. Is reflected In the $1 lots the Assessor has on his roll from Bandon. It was 14 years ago that one A. J. Hackett, with a far-sightedness be yond the vision of most men, discovered that Bandon was to be the greatest port on the Pacific. Lithographs That Lied. The Government was just then start ing- the improvements on -the jetties at the harbor entrance. Hackett saw his opportunity. He had four-masted schoon ers up to Bandon dock while yet the river was only navigable for vessels of less than 100 tons. On the lithographs he had struck off the ports of San Fran cisco and Portland paled Into insignifi cance In comparison with .Bandon. All this was done to boom town lots. Hackett had secured the Woolslugger quarter-section, lying about a mile south of Bandon, for $2500. Ho laid off the Portland addition to the city Into about 1600 lots. Bandon was then a village of some 200 or 300 people. Hackett went East, to Philadelphia and other places, and sold these lots at $300 and $400 each. When the investor? found out the real state of affairs they declined to pay taxes and the county has been gradually giv ing out tax deeds to the property. It was last Spring that the county put up 500 of" these lots at A tax sale. They were assessed at $1 each or about $10 an acre. The property was wholly unim proved, covered with the squaw pine, and acreage property alongside, that was just as good "or better, was assessed at 51 o. J. J. Stanley, the Coquille attorney and Mayor of the city, knew all this. He could buy a quarter-section cheap and make his own lots. But he decided to speculate In Portland addition. Ho bid 7. cents each, and the whole 500 lots were knocked down to him. Mr. Stanley now has $35 tied up in unproductive real, es tate But it Is not the purchase ' price which need worry him. but the tax levy. which Is near 50 per cent of his invest ment At this rate, Mr. Stanley could have bought the whole addition for $100 for which Woolslugger got $2500 and for which the Easterners paid nearly $500,000. But let no one think from this that there is not a great future for Bandon. The only trouble with Mr. Hackett was -that he was in advance of his time. Mars'ifield Lot Most Valuable. The most valuable town lot in the county, according to, tb'e record, is the Lockhart corner. In JJarshfield. This is assessed at $900. It is probable that next year North Bend will claim this honor. It may be a surprise to some to learn that with all this wealth in Cocs County there are no very expensive buildings outside of mill property. The new Ma sonic Temple in Marshfleld stands a.t the head of the list and that cost $20,000. The County Courthouse at Coquille and the Marshfleld public school come next each costing $11,000. The future will see some great deals in real estate on Coos Bay. At present there are only a few very wealthy men in the county, and these have been content with modest Improvements. But the bay, for 30 miles around the water front Is sur rounded by wooded hills. Those on the feast side reach 500 feet high. The view from these hills Is magnificent Some day all these hills will be appropriated and made" the country villas of men of wealth. But when that day comes Coos Bay will have a transcontinental railroad and will have the second city in the state. Suggestions, Local and General. PORTLAND. Nov. 3. To the Editor.) Port land people formerly thought Seattle was the coming city. Some of them put their money .there and want to get It back. But two years witnesses a change. So many solid buildings. so many hemes, have materialized here that ( even the blind can see. And then the new di rectory and school children tell srich a story that the pkcptlcs are becoming convinced. But A says to JB. v,WaIt till after the Fair to invest your money." -and B says to C, "Port land Is booming on the Lewis and Clark Expo sition; when It Is over you can buy these houses for a eong." That Is right, gentlemen, whoop It up. and after the Fair there will bo romany of you looking for bargains in real estate that In consequence you will pay 25 or 50 per cent more tharrit would cost you now- But let us drop this subject and turn to the coming erection. It Is only Just one week when you will have the opportunity to vote for 1 'res ident. Possibly j"ou underestimate thfa privi lege. Do you know what old Rome thought It was to be a Roman citizen? But what was a Roman citizen In comparison with the Amer- studying the tinware man's mixing meth ods and listening to his harangue. "That's It, John ask me questions; and, ladies, you ask me questions, too. I want you all to be interested and investigate just what these wonderful pans will do." And he thereupon took a pan of half- baked cake from the oven, gave It a shake which would have ruined hardtack, flopped it down on the table, where it sat until every woman got nervous because all that good dough was being wasted. After they were convinced that it was ruined, he took it up, dexteriously turned It over In midair, and whisked It back into the oven In a manner wbich would have made a wafer out of a sponge cake for any woman there. But. strange as it may seemf when the taking was finished, that cake came out perfect- It was browned to a finish, was thoroughly done, and had not a suspicion of sadness about It. "Wonderfuli" exclaimed a woman in the front 'row to her neighbor. 'I must have some of those pans' at once, for I have ruined everj" cake I have attempted to bake in the last six weeks, just be cause my oven door jars the stove when It closes." Many others present caught it, too, and' the smooth, agent for Carter's Crack Cake pans did a land otnee business. The Kings Heights woman, got up uu- usually early the next morning and an- nounced at the brealtfast table that there would be cake for supper. The new pans and the wonderful things they would ac complish were thoroughly exploited for her husband's benefit and he looked for ward to supper time all day long. Sup per was on the tabic when he arrived that evening, but there was no sign of cake. Well, what kind of cake did you bake?" he asked, expectantly, "Don't ask me about that cake!" snapped his wife. "Just look at that!" And she stuck out a bandaged foot "and that!" and held up a blistered hand. "That man is a fake and his old cake pans are fakes, too! They spilled the dough out. just like any other pans wbuld have dqne. when I went to turn them over and it was hot!" she hysterically explained. ' "Well er why was it necessary to turn the paths over before the cake was baked?" asked the bewildered husband. "Don't be stupid, John. Who said it was necessary? I just wanted to see if the pans would do, all he claimed for them. I believe he had his cake slued In when he turned it over, for he never spilled a bit pf It, while I " When a domestic scene ends with a tmXs KR1MU XTe. mny mi tubmcth tntcx, rniuii. wm . . . . $1.00, $1.50, $2.00 pir Dy European Pka THE PORTLAND rofiTUH.es.
