Ex ports of wheat, barley and flour from Portland and Puget Sound ports havo beon adding $150,000 a day to tho wealth of Oregon and Washington since October 1st, and this average of exports will bo maintained until the end of this month. For tho ton months of last year for which oxact figures are avallnblo, Portland's ex ports were 5.3S0.00O bushels of wheat nnd 1.1G8.SSC barrels of flour. Oregon's dairy products reach a value of $17,000,000 for tho year just closed, and tho lumber trndo has had tho greatest year In Its history. Tho total valuo of arglcultural crops now being moved and marketed, will add $30,000,000 in cash to tho circulat ing medium of tho stnto. At a meeting of seventy-six Orogon commercial bodies In Decomber, the establishment of closn relations with similar bodies in other Pacific Coast States was discussed, with tho Idea that Washington, Oregon and Califor nia should form n sort of commercial illinuco and so net In harmony ln nil Pacific Coast matters. some interesting talks. A Now Charter. Tho Coqullle city council hns appointed a com mltteo to draft a new charter for the city to be submitted to tho voters at tho next regular city election. In Colorado the women havo suc ceeded by dint of tireless efforts and much preserverence, ln becoming le gally recognized as man's equal. Just how much this affects blltho romance and reduces the hitherto poetic and kblghtly calling of Archer Cupid into a daily routine of prosaic pot shots we leave to moro facile pens; also the question as to wheth er the fair sex of Colorado ascended or descended, to take footing as man's equal. Coming back Into Ore gon, however, and thence home to Coos we fell a certain pride and zest that womens' suffrage is as yet un known that tho good old customs still prevail and womann holds un disputed sway with no other power save that which has been hers since mediaeval bards sang of her con quests. Tho cycle of time has rolled, around another Leap Year. That means, In poker parlance, that "it's up to the woman." County Clerk Watson's records show a total of 149 marriage licenses for the year 1907. If the fair ones of Coos County can do that much damage to the citadels of the male heart with no weapons other than the eye what will the grand total of casualltles be when they are given carte blanche with the tongue? It is doubtful if even the government statisticians have evor attempted to figure out this problem. Except we wait for the solution it self the only apparent expedient It to get Sherlock Holmes and Ella Wheel er Wilcox together and thus secure a deduction from tho eminent detec tive, founded on Miss Wilcox's know ledge of her sex. However, as Sir Conan Doylo has positively assured us that Sherlock has made his last swim across tho Styx there seems no perogatlve but to await the compiling of tho Coos county marriage license records for 1908. One cannot but wonder how many "nos" and how many "yesses" will come from bearded lips during the long period of anxious expecta tion before us. Will tho hitherto elusive, shy, yet withal, piquant fe male Cooslan ply her suit In bold Lochlnvar manner; and will the njjile await the fatal question in anxious trepidation? Butuhls is idle speculation. The great, vital matter Is that it is up to tho women of Coos county to demon strate on County Clerk Watson's records this year that they are more than capable of meeting an emerg ency calling forth perquisites which some few cruel cynics have said are only found In the male breast. The smallest month last year was March when only seven licenses were Issued and the largest, December when twenty-five men secured brides for Christmas presents. Tiit.. tt,i tv.w t?..- T7,.ici,o,i F.

Mar shal Jack Carter has collected dog taxes for the present year to tho amount of $1S7.50, and tho dogs without tags appear to be almost as thick as ever. Not a single arrest has been made for non-payment of tho dog tax thus far, but two dogs with apparently no owners have been killed. Tho marshal asserts that quite a number of dogs will be killed in a few days unless the owners como forward and havo tags placed upon them. lrS0ODRUMIS THft" PLACE r."T0Tftw6' H&: mm mt mw OFGOODS WS Tn m I V23L' Ik M (Mil W?y kU x I i'Ji '' Si.v XI Now is He LOREN WILDE, of Portland.
