AUTOMOBILE TO ItOSKKUltO
Tho Daily Oregon Statesman sug
gests that American towns lying back
from tho steam railways and posses
slug populations too small to attract
trolley railways, should avail them
solves of the automobile for tho regu
lar carriage of freight and passen
gers. It illustrates its suggestion by
calling attention to tho fact that a
network of automobile- freight lines
nro being arranged In tho Congo val
ley In darkest Africa. "Under tho
direction" it says, "of a contrnl auto
mobilo department, more than a
years' work has boon dono in Congo
Free Stato in tho construction of a
special highway for this purpose
It might bo a good idea for some
body to ploco automobiles on tho
Rosoburg-Coos Bay road, providing
Douglas and Coos counties could con
trive to get togcthor on somo plan to
improve that road so that It could bo
used. Can it bo improved? When
tho constitution of tho stato was ad
opted tho people woro lltonlly nfrald
that tho government would bo tho
source of Innumerable frauds and so
limited tho county's rights to incur
Indebtedness to $5,000. No doubt
tlioro wns good grounds for tho limi
tation then, "but tho result has been

Antiquated Methods.
Father has lived and farmed for
40 years in Oregon. He has 1,000
acres in tho farm, and though ho
toils early and late, he earns but
little more than a living. The old
place looks Hko It always did when
grandpa was master of it. Father
grows the crops and tills tho soil in
tho same old way, too. Ho dislikes
change and is distrustful to innova
tion. Agriculturally speaking, ho
never loops tho loop nor shoots tho
chutes. The old gate has still but
one hinge, just ns a dozen years ago,
and tho poultry house, tho hog pen
and tho old barn are unchanged,
somo of tho neighbors with new tan
gled ideas have sprayed their fruit
trees, but father does not bellovo In
It, and what seems to bo tho samo
old worms aro in tho same old apples
In tho moss-covered orchard. He
grows wheat In tho samo old field,
hay in tho samo old meadow and on
ions In tho samo old gardon spot
that gradpa did when ho first camo
to tho country.
Ono of tho boys wanted him to
buy a few blooded hogs and somo
improved jerseys from which to soil
cream to tho creamery, but father
said thero was nothing in tho high
notions and refused to do It, stick
ing to tho same old crumply horned
cows with long limbs, cadaverous
frames and Httlo milk. Tho agri
cultural college sent him a bulletin,
urging rotation of crops, but ho said
tlieso collogo n,rofess,ors aro a worse
pest than tho worms in tho apples,
and throw the document Into tho fire.
Tho road supervisor urged him to
join with other neighbors in improv
ing tho road to town so ho could haul
twico ns much wheat at a load, but
father Joined with othor neighbors
like himself so that tho plan was de
feated, and thoy go on hauling
half loads, taking twlco as long to
haul tho wheat to market. They
hold a farmers' Institute In tho
school house, and scune of tho nolgh-

! bo-o urged him to go, but father said
if he went he might get gola-bricked
1 by the professors, and remained at
home. An Iownn wanted to buy 100
acres, but father would not sell, so
the stranger bought 100 acres of a
neighbor, and makes more on tho
100 acres In one year than father
makes off his 1,000 acres In four.
Tho old scarecrow In tho gardon,
and the broken-armed windmill that
never turns, both of which look ex
actly as they did 20 years ago, are
typical of the antiquated methods,
the wasted efforts and tho non-pro-gresslveness
on the farm, and In
them the passer-by reads unerringly
tho history of the past and tho con
ditions of tho present. Because
thero are thousands of him in the
state, father is a great handicap to
Oregon, but the handwriting Is on
the wall, and he will pass on beforo
the sweep of the swift coming and
greater Oregon of tho hurrying fu
ture Oregon Journal.
The Situation.
(Umpqua Valley News.)
Senator W. A. Clark Is back in
this country after a three months'
swing around Europe, and he has
something to say about buslnes con
ditions abroad. His remarks aro
well worth noting. Senator Clark is
ono of tho richest men in tho world.
His money has been made In mining
In tho west In which ho has been
phenomenally fortunate. Ho is in
terested liko most of tho men In tho
Crowd" In New York, and this means
as well tho Standard Oil group which
controls so large a share of tho
finances of the world. But ho is
not a Wall Street man In tho usual
senso of the term, though much of
his surplus wehlth has of necessity
to bo Invested there. So his vlows
of business conditions abroad aro not
exactly inspired by what Mr. Thomas
Lawson, of frenzied finance fame,
cnlls "tho system." Senator Clark
says that business conditions In Eu
ropo aro much tho samo as they aro
hero. Thero is tho samo tightness
of money without tho vast recourses
back of tho countries. Europe is not
In condition nor has it inclination to
lond us money, and ho says that this
distrust of things American Is duo
to tho revelations In tho American
business world, tho life Insurance
scandals, tho packing scandals, tho
Standard Oil revelations and tho
goneral railroad situation. Europe
does not want any American secur-

Communicated.
Editor Coos Bay Times: Will you
please take notice of an artlclo In
the Evening Telegram of October
21st page 1, headed "Rival Plant for
Swift."
The Evening Telegram wishes
the Portland people to make and
give Inducements to a new packing
company which offers $2,000,000
for an Investment In Portland. In
other words a request is made for
rebates, the very thing the govern
ment of the United States is prose
cuting tho railroads, tho Standard
Oil company and other firms for.
This is purely and simply a squeezing
of tho people, by the people and for
the benefit of some special Interested
individuals and the Portland news
papers In particular.
Any citizen beginning a new busi
ness has to stand on his own plat
form and take tho consequences
without favors from the public, a
syndicate handling $2,000,000 has
according to tho Portland papers a
right to ask for favors -from tho
public, that is the common people.
This $2,000,000 company and the
editors of tho Portland papers should
bo ashamed of theniselves to make
such requests, but, alas, thero is no
more shame left in them, it Is driven
out of them by continually writing
untruths and misrepresentations.

Not long ago In a Western market
town I chanced to observe an Irish
man with a live turkey under his
arm. Tho turkey was squawking
and gobbling in a distressed way, a
racket to which tho Irishman did not
nt first pay any particular notice.
Finally, howover, tho disturbance got
on tho Celt's nerves. Giving tho
bird a poke In tho side, ho exclaimed:
"Bo quiet! What's tho matter
wid ye, anyhow? Why would yez
want to walk whin I'm wlllln to
carry ye?" Harper's Monthly.

Health Oillcei-b at Seattle Ask Co
operation From Oregon.
Seattle, Wash., Oct. 24. At a
joint meeting of the City and State
Health Board here tonight, it was
decided to ask tho State Board of
Oregon to co-operate with Washing
ton health authorities in tho hand
ling of tho bubonic plague, which has
mado Its appearance in this city.
One case has been reported, that
of a Chinese who died nearly a week
ago, but the city health officers have
adopted prompt measures to suppress
any threatened danger. A crusade
against rat3 is begun, the City Coun
cil offering a bounty for the rodents.
The Oriental quarter of the city is
undor rigid inspection and all sus
pected cases are strictly investigat
ed. Mayor Moore and Governor Mead
will join In a request to the Surgeon
Genernl of Public Health that the sit
uation be put under Federal control.
This Is made necessary by the largo
amount of water traffic and interstate
commerce trafllc to and from this
port, which cannot be regulated by
local authorities. Tho two State
Boards will co-operate in guarding
tho Columbia River traffic.
Plague Scaie in Tacoinn,
Tacoma, Wash., Oct. 24. Tho ap
pearance of the bubonic plague in tho
Chinese quarters of Seattle, with one
victim '.'ead, has been taken official
notice of by tho government officers
in Tacoma, and every precaution is
boing established along tho water
front. Every vessel arriving in port
with a Chinese or foreign crew Is
checked up at once by tho Immigra
tion olilcors.
Nono of the Chinamen will be al
lowed to go nshoro for bavo of ab
sonco until they have proper cer
tificates from their superior officers,
and the same precaution will be es
tablished at tho railroad stations.
It is possible that a general rat-killing
order may bo put Into effect In
Tacomn, as in Seattle.
New Saw Mill Busy.
Tho Lyons & Johnson saw mill at
Prosper Is cutting lumber for tho
Prosper mill and Is running full time.
This Is one of the new mills erected
on tho Coqullle river this year and It
promises to be a money maker for Its
owners.

TRUST WILL PUT
UP FIGHT ON UNIONS
Pittsburg, Pa., Oot 24. More than
3500 men employed In the Pittsburg
district were laid off Saturday. Tho
Sharon plant of the American Sheet
& Tlnplato company closed Uown
completely, and the officials would
give the 2,000 men no promise as to
when it would resume. The West
Inghouse Interests laid off 1,500 men.
Tho Westinghouso airbrake plant
was placed on half time and 800 em
ployes woro allowed to go. The
Union Switch and Signal company
dispensed with 700 men.
Members of tho Amalgamated As
sociation of Iron and Steel Workers
assert that tho closing down of the
Sharon Tlnplato works was not be
cause of lack of orders, but becauso
of the determination on the part of
the United States Steel company, of
which the tlnplate company is a
subsidiary, to place non-union men
in every plant operated by it.
