That the dairying interests of the country grow weary of the public's continued devotion to pursuits of a more speculative nature, is not sur prising when the facts relating' to productive energy are considered. It has recently been said that all the mlneowners of the great Tauana dis trict in Alaska could they secure tha services of 7,000 men, would be able this year to push tho total gold pro duction of tho Tanana up to ?1G, 000,000. Tho glitter of this statement at tracts tho public eye. The figur.n aro enormous. Yet the dairy farms of Oregon last year produced $17, 000,000 and it is doubtful if there are 7,000 men engaged on the dairy farms of Oregon. The Tanana -e-gion comprises an area of about l'o by 225 miles, gridlroned by gold bearing streams. Tho strictly dairy ing area of Oregon does not exceed these figures. But the meek-eyed cows that feed thereupon produce more gold than the sum of Tanana's wildest dream. Nobody gots excited over the cow. There is no stampedo to tho dairy farms. Why is it? It is not a question of work. Tha most industrious dairyman does not put in harder or longer hours of toil than does tho miner who works in tho mines of Tanana. Conditions up thero are said to, bo so oppressive that human enduianco i3 tried and tho miners have gone on a strike. The people of tho dairy forms evi dently are better situated, for they never go on strikes. Tho main rea son -why men go to tho mines is be cause of tho lust for adventure. If an atmosphere of romance and dan ger could be Introduced into tho cow pasture they would go Into the dairy business. It is a fact beyond question that an Oregon farm Is a better producer than tho average gold mine. Tho Alaska miner works assiduously from morning' till night at tho hardest kind of toil. Tho same amount of ivnnual labor put into an SO-acro farm In Oregon will produce more wealth than tho average mining claim in Alaska or anywhoro on earth. Possession of a farm brings to a man ono thing of vnluo abovo a'l others a feeling of peace and security against the inevitable day when old ago touches him with its palsied hand and bids him rest from his labors. Ills farm is a "claim" tVat ho himself can work or that ho can employ others to work. And It will nlways produce. Tho pay streak never "plays out," says tho Oregon Journal, and it might havo trnUifully ndded that Coos county tho second In tho state in dnlrying, has tho best pay streak on tho Pacific coast. CEXT-A-WORD TKLKGUAP1I. For tho major part of a century wo havo enjoyed tho blessings of tho telegraph, and it Is still among tho exponent things that go to mako tho arm of civilization and progress; but inn n is beginning to realize that tho boiioilpenco Is costing him altogether too much; that tho peoplo who havo monopolized tho facilities aro e.x piltlng tho masses and havo been for y ars. At loast ono of thorn. k Tho reaction has set in and tho day for adjustment Is at hand. Tho Tole post, tho nowest application on tho srionco, has Instituted a public sor vi o that costs hut a cent a word, whatever tho distance, and Is making n liberal profit on that basis; thoro foro tho other great concorns havo Kt to como to tho lowor margin and be satisflod with a modified and mod erate profit. This Is ns It should bo. Tho Amer ican peoplo aro tho most generous on earth In tholr support of all masterly conveniences and too rarely ques tion tho tollB they aro paying: thoy W- l.A l.AA..

Never suffer tho invaluable moments of thy life to steal by unimproved and leave thee in idleness and vacancy; but be al ways either reading or writing, or praying, or meditating, or employed in some useful labor for the common good. A'Kem pls. PROGRESS. Near the town of Up-against-It, in the land of Root-or-die, We havo found our very finest in spiration, you and I. Tolling up the hill called Have-to, with Compulsion for a guide, We have made the sort of effort that was never yet denied. In the way were Can't and Couldn't, with his brother. Whatt's-the-use, While our dearest foe, Born-weary, seized with joy each poor excuse. Yet behind us, unrelenting, drove our heartless master, Must. And our feet essayed no lagging, spite of hill, or heat, or dust. It was there wo grow the sinews for tho struggle, you and I Near the town of Up-against-it, in the land of Root-or-die. Near that village, Up-against-It, in tho land of Root-or-die, Wo discovered possibilities un dreamed of you and I. Were there heartaches in that jour ney? Little then, our master cared, As along that stony highway under whip and spur wo fared. Bread-and-butter trudged beside us, with a keen and ruthless goad, That should quicken halting foot stops if wo loitered on tho rood. Pride and Spunk, two comely sisters, lured us on with myriad wiles All the master's welts were painless as we feasted on their smiles. So our hearts grew strong to con quer, as wo plodded you and I Past the hamlet, Up-against-it, in the land of Root-or-die. Success. O There aro few women who do nut buy hats too young for them. The world is all right. It la tho people who make you trouble. A good nn ny of the compllmonth a man receives sound like paid locals Can a miu be called a cannibal be cause he lives on his father-in-law? Few men can look themselves over and givo their faults a fair heading. -- Wo havo observed that men loaf everywhere except at shops where gravestones aro made and sold. Thero Is a man on Coos Bay whose wlfo Is so charitable that ho has to hido his pants when ho goes to bed. It makes very Httlo difference with' sonio men on Coos Bay whether they mako a statement on oath or on the stree.t. You hoar of peoplo being afraid to die. Wo aro afraid to live too long, tho old aro treated so shab bily. A pin may drop In such a way That nothin' could bo louder. Just drop a red hot ono somo day Into a keg of powder. THOS. C. RUSSELL. Hush little mill man, don't you weep, Your timber's growing whilo you sleep. Tho Forest Sorvico Is hard at work, So you can afford to loaf and shirk. After you'ro dead and tnking your ease, All your heirs will havo trees, trees, trees. THE FOREST RANGER. A woman wont Into a department storo and said sho wanted to soo tho "thinnest thing they had In shirt waists." Tho clerk said ho was sorry to disappoint her, but sho had just overy common utility of tho day, and tho "kick-back" is at hand. Without Kprecatlng tho inestlmablo vnluo of .ho great lines of public utility, tho uiople will never rest until thoy get a normal rnto In lieu of tho Bcnlo that has amounted to something akin to robbery and Is only saved from that raw nomenclature by reason of tho unreasoning gullibility where with the excess has always paid. gone out to lunch. P. S. This did not happen in Mnrshfleld. No Glovo Problem. Harriet Lena LIzesey, now four months old, daughter of Mr. and Mis William LI", sey, of Milwaukee, Ws , enjoys life as well as any other in fant, and gives promise of living to a ripe old at'O. Tho child was born September 8 und weighed 10 pounis at birth and is as strong as tho usual 10-pound infant. Sho has a perfect ly formed head and body, except that thero aro no arms and legs. If the dear Httlo thing ever marries. Hip glove and slice question will bo firm ly settled for one husband at the very start. COQUILLE CHRONICLES. Items of Interest From the County Seat Weeklies.
