Conuille, Oregon, Aug. 9, 1907.
A great commotion was caused on
the streets this morning by a run
away. A gentleman was breaking a
colt to a cart and had hitched him
up for tho first time. He was be
having very nicely, quite as a good
colt should, when in tho twinkling of
an eye, the seat of the cart became
unfastened and the driver was
tossed, heels over head backwards to
the ground, tho lines woro Jerked
from his hands, and away went colt
and cart In a mad race, to see which
would get there first. Tho cart
seemed to Imagine it would gain time
by going on one wheel, so over it
went, spinning ono in tho air, dizzily,
round and round; then with a bounce
the cart righted Itself, only to repeat
the performance, and suddenly, of
course, the cart caught against an
obstacle and the race was over, and
the poor colt stood trembelingly by
awaiting his master, who had not
been hurt and was participating in
the race for the consolation prize
which constituted a colt, only
scratched a little, a harness not very
badly broken, and a cart unharmed.

There never will be a better

Lumber is cheaper now on Coos
Bay than it will ever be again
But we are not, selling lumber. We are
in the power and electric lighting business
and are at work putting in a gas plant.
And when you put u pyour new building
have it wired for electric light and plumbed
for gas.
If you have ever used electric light you
would hardly think of going back to tallow
candles or foul-smelling kerosene; if the
housewife has ever used an electric flat
iron she would not be disposed to surrender
it. And if you have ever used a gas stove
no one could induce you to go back to the
