And the modern equipments in railroading are responsible for this. Nowadays farm produce of this na ture is transported in the most scien tific and expensive refrigerator cars that inventive genius is capable of manufacturing, and it arrives at its destination in nearly as excellent condition as when llrst prepared, for its long journey. "Strawberries from Hood River this season went to eastern consumers what might be termed palace re frigerator cars, every endeavor hav ing been made on the part of the railroads and express companies to favor the shippers. These care are equipped with every facility to pre vent their contents from being dam aged in the least and none of the elegant pullmans which pass through Salem ride so easy as they. They are made especially for the Pa cific coast traffic and have fully proved their worth. They went through on fast express time and the fruit which they transported was sold for top prices. Such is tho progress made for carrying the 3iuall and perishable fruit of this part of the American continent.

SEND A DELEGATE. THE TIMES is in receipt of a tele gram from Mr. E. Hofer, presi dent of the Willamette Development League. That body will holds its annual convention in Cottage Grove, Oregon, on June 20. Mr. Hofer re quests that tho commercial bodies on Coos Bay send delegates to the con vention. Practically every commer cial body in the State of Oregon will be represented at tho one day ses sion, and Coos Bay should make an equal showing with the rest. Gath-' erlngs such as these are of vital im portance to the upbuilding of tho different communities in the State. Men meet with a common purpose and a spirit of co-operation is evoked that will result in an incalculable amount of future good to the differ ent communities. There is, however, a double reason why Coos Bay should be represented at this convention. The Cottage Grove Commercial Club is making a hard campaign to secure an extension of the proposed Coos Bay-Roseburg eleciric line. It is the desire to extend the line from Roseburg via Cottage Grove to Portland. Assuming that tho Rose-burg-Coos Bay lino and the Portland extension become a reality Coos Bay will be benefited immeasurably. A direct connection with Portland COOS BAY POTATOES. THE famous spud of Coos Bay may soon be utilized In channels where it will not only benefit the farmer in a financial way, but glvo added prestige to the Coos Bay coun try. The latest use to which the po tato has been put is in the making of lead pencils. It is well known that for some time there has been appre hension regarding the decreasing sup ply of cedar and other wood neces sary In the manufacture of pencils. It is also known that the cedar wood used at present In this line is expen sive and tho quality becoming lim ited, consequently makers of this Im portant piece of stationery in the commercial and educational world are seeking a new process by which the pencils can be made without an Increased expense. In this it is be lleved the potato will play an Impor tant part, as In Germany a composi tion to take the place of cedar in lead pencils has been discovered, the main ingredient of which is potatoes, i About two and a half years ago a oninll finmnnnv wna fnrmpfl In Hint ZJt VG nmi., e! country to perfect and exploit the in- Southern Pacific now building in Also at the coming convention tho electric road from Roseburg to Coos Bay will bo discussed.

Coos Bay poo ph . ill gather an idea of tho rosults obtainable in a rich agricultural terri tory such as that embraced In tho C'oquille vnlloy and tho Coos Bay ronnti v. It is Interesting to roviow tho pro fi's made in tho transportation of Broen fruit from tho Pacific coast States to tho great ninrkots of tho eastern sldo of tho western continent. Not so very many years ago it scorned an impossibility to oxport tho small and easily porishnblo fruit from Ore gon, California, and Washington ow ing to tho long haul causing t,ho fruit vention, which has finally been per fected and the new. kind of pencils are being producd in large quantities preparatory to being placed on the market. The United States consul In one of tho German cities speaks of the new pencil, in a report to this govern ment, In the following terms: "I have seen and used some of these pencils, which, while slightly heavier, are tho same In size, form and appearance as those at present in use, admit of sharpening a little more easily and can be produced at a very nominal figure. A permanent com pany was founded In March at Berlin, acting under patents in fourteen countries, with a capital of $154,700, of which $95,200 represents the cost of tho patents, while $59,500 has been retained for a working capital. Of tho working capital, $19,040 will be used In erecting a factory with six presses and a daily output of 48,000 pencils. The cost of manufactur, all expenses Included rent, light, power, wages, composition, lead, selling cost, etc. is estimated at $0.00928. A second quality pencil will be made whoso cost will be only $0.00595. At tho estimated production of 4S;000 pencils a day, three hundred working days a year, tho yearly pro duction would bo 14,400,000 pencils. According to recent statistics tho ox port from Germany to foreign coun tries equaled 15,100 tons, with tho total number of pencils at 3,033,-200,000.
