A FAIR SUGGESTION.
was
Last summer no little good
accomplished and very extensive ad
vantage was gained through the
shrowdness and tact of the Secretary
of the Chamber of Commerce, Col.
Walter Lyons, In specializing, among
tho many resources of Coos county,
the merits and unusual excellence of
the apple which Coos county prod
uces In Its best form and flavor called
the Gravensteln. Tho prize box
caused almost a sensation and atten
tion was more effectively drawn to
' Coos Bay by reason of tho little
apple exhibition, both at Coos Bay
and at Portland, than by reason of
anything which has been dono In
fifteen years, except what was done
at tho Portland fair. In making Its
list for premiums tho committee hav
ing In charge tho arrangements for
tho fair must not overlook that
feature. They must make a specialty
of tho Gravensteln and give a good
big prize for tho best box. To do
otherwise and place twenty or thirty
products of different kinds on the
same level will make the fair com
mon place. It Is tho same with a
man. If a man can do a multitude
of things well ho will liavo no dis
tinction at all. If ho does ono thing
well ho will bo better known and
more widely regarded. Don't make
the fnir a common place thing with
out its special feature. Make fruits
three times as prominent as potatoes.
Evorybody can easily satisfy himself
that wo can grow potatoes ad libi
tum, but It needs to bo demonstrated
that wo nro just as good a fruit coun
try a3 Hood River and that wo lead
tho world whero the world needs a
lender badly and where Hood Kivor
cannot lead. The Gravensteln apple,
a special coal exhibit, an exhibit of
Myrtlo and white cedar and articles
mado therefrom will prove unusual
attractions. This means that they
mny well bo specialized. Thoro
should bo an effort to find tho aston
ishing things which, when people
from tho outside come here, they will
boo for tho first time. Shell work
in ornamental lines, berries wild and
domestlcnted and even tho Empire
clam will bo eye-openers. Tho com
mittee should also try and get each
interest to inako an exhibit. Tho
fruit men should havo their exhibit
and make It a bummer This apart
from tho Gravensteln exhibit. The
Gravensteln should havo a big hall
of Us own In future- fairs nnd a de
partment of Its own in this ono.
Tho Dairy men should get busy
overywhero In Coos and Curry coun
ties. Thero should bo a prize given
for tho best mineral exhibit showing
Coos and Curry county minerals
Coos nnd Curry county structural
material. Let every stono qunry, ce
ment bed, etc., brick clay have a
chnnco, but lot no fish, fruit, veget
able, minora! or liorso rnco displace
tho Gravensteln from its thronq as
tho king of Coos.

An Intemperate Song.
There was a maid lived in the South,
And an oldish maid was she.
She advertised for a hub one day.
Who a Northern man must bo
"For I've waited here and I've
waited long,
But nobody comes!" she cried.
So in tho North
Tho word went forth
To a territory wide.
There was a man from Harlem
Who journeyed to the South,
The roads were dry, and dusty, too,
As also was his mouth.
, Ho walked Into a hostelry,
His whistle thero to wet;
He had no fear.
He asked for beer
He's In the cooler yet.
There was a man from Boston, Mass.,
A literary gent;
Ho traveled down to Dixieland
And cultured as ho went.
Ho said the air was bracing and
Intoxicated him
They tied him fast
And quickly cast
Him into a dungeon dim.
A traveler from Milwaukee, Wis.,
Wont down tho Mississlp,
When ho went down ho had the blues
Because he had the grip.
Ho said beneath the Southern Sun
Ho felt his spirits rise
Tho whistle blew,
The Sheriff flew,
And in a cell he lies.
There was a man from Morrlstown
Who traveled down the line.
And thero ho met this oldish maid ,
And vowed she was divine
Now, as he swore devotion true,
Ho hiccoughed, feeling scared
Sho turned away.
She groaned, they say,
And soberly decared:
"Be still, my beating heart, be still,
And calmly let me choose.
For I tsand 'twlxt love and duty
Yes; I stand 'twlxt love and
booze."
Ho fondly pressed her to him
tight
And whispered, "Let us fly!"
So they ran away
And were wed next day
In a country not so dry.

"That man owes me an apology."
"Don't you know he Is bankrupt?"
"Maybe I"l got a 10 per cent apology,
then."
Puppy Teeth.
Some docs delight to bark and blto.
And Bonio delight to chew;
Not on a rag their jaws they was.
But on your brand now shoe.
Inconsiderate Rotation.
"Poor man! What brought you to
this?"
"I'm nshanied to own It, but drluk Is
the cause of my lowly estate."
"You couldn't resist temptation?"
"Oh, yes. 1 could. It was my rich
uncle who should have left me a for
tune, but he very carelebsly drank It
up before It got to me."
