Ideal Winter Weather Favors
Royal Procession,to West
minister. (By Associated Press.)
LONDON, Jan. 29. Tho most rare
event of London winter, a clear,
sunny day, favored tho Royal Pro
cession to Westminister today where
tho king opened parliament. Im
mense crowds witnessed the parade.
Premier Sir Henry Campbell tho ban
ner man whose health was too fee
ble, was tho only cabinet minister
absent and tho king ascended the
throne. Queen Alexandra was seat
ed on tho chair of state at his right.
Owing to tho menace of a possible
outbreak of tho women suffrages nu
usual precautions were taken, only
certified ladles being permitted to
tho ceremony. The king's speech de
veloped nothing of extraordinary In
terest. Referring to tho Hague Peace con
ference the king said "Tho various
Instruments annexed in the final act
of that conference show progress has
beon made and they are receiving at
tentive consideration by my govern
ment. Ono of the most important
of these instruments establishes the
great principle of an international
court of appeals in prize cases. My
government is considering the ques
tion of inviting representatives of
leading maritime nations to attend
a conference in London next autumn
to view the coming understanding
of certain important points of the in
ternational law for the guidance of
this court."

MAY HAVE NEW 0
SCHOOL HOUSE
Marshfield's Present School
Facilities -Will Soon Be
Inadequate.
To meet the needs of tho commun
ity the directors of tho Marshfleld
school district are now considering
the establishmnet of another school
in South Marshfleld the coming
school year. If tho plans go through
a building will bo erected equally as
large as the present one. It is
thought it will cost about $25,000.
Marshfleld and its various additions
are growing so rapidly that tho pres
net school facilities will bo entirely
Inadequate by next year. The di
rectors wish to provide for this con
tingency and the only possible provi
sion Is the erection of a new school
building.
Plans are now being formulated
to take in Bunker Hill, Bay Park
and the C. A. Smith mill into tho
Marshfleld school district. At pres
ent these additions are in tho Flag
staff district. As It Is two miles and
a half from any of them to the Flag
staff school house and as tho facilit
ies there are now taxed, besides tho
fact that several pupils in those dist
ricts prefer tho Marshfleld school and
are now compelled to pay tutition of
from ?5 to $10, the only apparent
remedy seems to lie In embracing
these districts In that of Marshfleld.

LAY OF THE OREGON HEN.
We have read of Maud on a summer
day
Who raked, barefoot, tlie new-mown
hay;
AVe have read of the maid in tho
early morn,
Who milked the cow with 'the crump
led horn;
And we've read the lays that the
poets sing,
But of all the lays of tongue or pen,
There's naught like the lay of tho
Oregon hen. , '
Long, long before Maud rakes her
hay,
The Oregon hen has begun to lay,
And ere the milkmaid stirs a peg,
The hen is up and has dropped her
egg;
The corn must rustle and flowers
spring
If they hold their own with the barn
yard ring.
If Maud is needing a hat and gown,
She doesn't hustle her hay to town,
But goes to tho store and obtains her
suit
With a basketful of her fresh hen
fruit;
If the milkmaid's beau makes a Sun
day call,
She doesn't feed him on milk at all,
But works up eggs in a custard pie
And stuffs him full of a chicken fry;
And when the old man wants a horn,
Does he take Uxe druggist a load of
corn?
Not much! Ho simply robs a nest,
And to town ho goes you know the
rest.
He hangs arounds with the cliques
and rings,
And talks of politics and things,
While his poor wife stays at home
and growls;
But is saved from want by these self
same fowls;
For, while her husband lingers there,
She watches the cackling hens with
care,
And gathers eggs and tho eggs she'll
hide,
Till she saves enough to stem tho
tide,
Then hail, all hall to the Oregon hen,
The greaBtest blessing of all to men!
Throw up your hats and emit a howl
For thee persevering barnyard fowl!
Fruit may bo king, but it's plainly
seen,
The Oregon hen is the Oregon, Queen.

Professor James Dryden, tjio new
poultry expert at tho Oregon Agricul
tural college, has issued the first bul

TELLS A FUNNY STORY.
compares it with others In the state
and United States.
In order to give an idea of the im
portance of the industry Mr. Dryden
quotes the figures from the govern
ment statistics issued by the bureau
of animal Industry, showing that un
til 1907 from 1850 the egg product of
the United States was greater each
year than the gold and silver output
combined. These figures do not, do
the Industry justice for the govern
ment counts only those products on
the farms and none In the small
towns and cities.
"The poultry industry in Oregon is
an important one," says the bulletin,
"Its importances can be fully under-'
stood only by a study of the statistics
of production, and the statistics, un
fortunately, are not very complete.
This state has collected no statistics
of poultry products. The only re
liable data wo have Is contained in
the last United States census made
in the year 1899 and the poultry and
eggs produced in the villages, towns
and cities are not included in the
enumeration.
Egg Prices Advance.
"Tho average price of eggs per
dozen in 1899 was 11 cents, in Ore
gon the average price in 1900 was 15
cents. The market conditions are
favorable for increased production of
poultry and eggs In this state. In
few sections of the country are prices
of poultry and eggs better than they
are in Oregon and on tho Pacific coast
in general. During the month of De
comber fresh ranch eggs were
quoted in Portland at 40 cents per
dozen wholesale and consumers were
paying 50 cents. At this price a doz
en eggs will about pay the cost of
food consumed by the hen In a year.
"That the markets hero aro better
than in other parts of the country is
shown by the fact that large quanti
ties of eggs and poultry are Imported
from the middle west states. The
writer has endeavored to secure re
liable information as to the quantity
of eggs that are shipped into this
state from the east and has been only
measurably successful. Commission
men and others have been interview
ed and' it can almost certainly be said
that 75 carloads of eggs came into
Oregon in 1907. A car contains 400
cases of eggs, 30 dozen In each case,
making 30,000 cases in 75 carloads.
Oregon Imports Largo Quantity.
"These shipments come in the fall
and winter when eggs aro at tho
highest price, but they are storage
eggs and do not command tho price
of local ranch eggs. Figuring on a
basis of 75 cars of 30,000 cases at 25
cents a dozen, there were sent Into
Oregon last year $225,000 worth of
eggs.
"Tho Information as to tho Import
ations of poultry are not as complete
as I would like it to be. Estimates
made by commission men and others
vary from 5 to 20 cars of dressed
poultry. About tho best Information
obtained indicates that the product
reached a value of $75,000 or $100,
000 last year.
"Tho demand for poultry and eggs
has been increasing faster'than tho
suppYy and there Is iio'dangeV' of over
production. Not only does tho city of

DEEP INTEREST
Walter Lyon Subjected to
Many Inquiries While in
Portland.
Walter Lyon, secretary of the
Marshfleld chamber of commerce, has
returned home after his sojourn in
Portland in tho interests of the Coos
Bay country. "It feels mighty good
to get back," said tho secretary. "I
was greatly surprised to find that
Coos Bay is tho object of much inter
est and Inquiry in Portland. Most of
the hundreds of visitors who are con
stantly coming from tho east and
middle west seem to have heard of
our country down here and I receiv
ed countless inquiries about it."
One agreeable feature which Mr.
Lyon noted and which has possibly
escaped general observation around
Coos Bay is tho attitude of friendly
cooperation which the Portland pa
pers have asumed.
In justice it cannot be said that all
the Rose City papers were evev an
tagonistic to tho bay but it is well

evil. However, those things are buri

aro doing all in their power to for
ward the interests of Coos Bay and its
adjacent country and their efforts
will be deeply appreciated by the peo
ple here.
Several Important matters will be
taken up by the chamber of commerce
at Friday night's meeting and a full
attendance is desired,
Portland depend on eastern eggs to a
largo extent during the winter, but it
Is a fact that many small towns in the
rural communtles of tho state are
buying eastern eggs from Portland
dealers. It Is a condition undesirable
that the poultry "formers" of Front
street, in Portland, should be selling
eggs to the poulflry. praising com
munities of tho Willamette Valley.
Other Cities in Same Plight.
"Seattle and San Francisco import
a greater number of eastern eggs
than does Portland. Still there were
$800,000 worth of eggs Imported to
Seattle in 190G. The prico of eggs in
those communities is from 20 to 30
per cent greater than in Portland."
Tho report gives a number of start
ling facts regarding tho poultry in
dustry in Oregon. Methods of in
cubation and a number of illustra
tions showing tho extent of tho de
velopment of tho Industry in the
state makes tho bulletin attractive. It
will bo mailed free to any resident
of the state upon application to the
college at Corvallis.

On tho same train with Mr. Baiuea
