YELLOW .JOURNALISM.
One of the most glaring and de
spicable pieces of "yellow journal
Ism" that lias ever come under tho
observation of The Times was the
damnably false article appearing in
the Portland Journal of last Satur
day concerning the forest fire on
Coos Bay.
It was so false and fictitious that
it would be ridiculous were It not for
tho fact that people unfamiliar with
tho conditions and situation here
might be misled. The fact that there
was not a shred of fact on which
the story could be based makes the
action of its publication without ox
cuse or palliation. The material
damage done Coos Bay by such a
publication Is great but the mental
anxiety occasioned people with rela
tives and friends in this section has
been Incalculable. Not less than a
hundred telegrams and many long
distance telephone messages have
poured into Coos Bay in the last few
days making anxious inquiry for
loved ones, asking if they were safo
and making proffers of assistance.
The Times has made an effort to
locate the local correspondent of Tho
Journal, but has not been successful.
We are loath to believe that any
person on Coos Bay could bo so lost
to a sense of decency, honor and
common sense as to write such a
false, foolish and damaging article.
It was probably the work of some
romancer in tho Journal's Portland
office, and if so tho greater their
degradation and their shame. Tho
person responsible should be reviled
of men ami the newspaper giving it
currency Is deserving only loathing
and contempt.
It is such journalistic work as this
that makes honest newspaper men
blush for tho disgrace that Is re
flected upon their profession by ir
responsible mental derelicts whoso
proper place is in an asylum for tho
feeble minded or behind prison bars.
CIVIC PRIDE.
To what can wo nscrlbo the rapid
-growth and development of Coos Bay
during tho past year? What has oc
casioned tho many flattering articles
which havo so frequently appeared
In the newspapers and periodicals
throughout tho country? Has it
been simply owing to our wonderful
natural resources, or has It beep be
cause of tho publicity we havo given
theso resources, and tho excellent
work of our various civic bodies? To
tho latter we must give tho honor
without question. Certainly a strong
foundation is a necessary requisite
to work on, but without tho work
man wo cannot oxpect to accomplish
anything.
Tho citizens of Coos Bay can point
with prfdo to the rosults already ob
tained, and tho success which has
beon thoirs should servo as an Incen
tive for still more vigorous and
henrty cooporation In tho future
Tho tlmo Is now rlpo for an active
campaign and conditions wero never
more favorable for a continuation of
tho work nlroady begun. Improve
ments nro needod; dwellings and
buildings should bo erected, and such
n general air of prosperity pervado
tho entire community that outsldo
capital will not hesitate to cast their
lot with ours.
Our opportunity Is now at hand.

some dream about nn old flame
Fellor nnmed O'Reilly wrote It;
don't Just remember til' nnme:
Henrd It last night at th' lecturo;

to bring It out right.
Some perfect stranger set near me. back
pretty well to'rds th' door.

Feller 'bout fifty or sixty, purty well
dressed, I could see,
Dropped In to piss a dull evenln' an" took
a seat right nex' to me.
Somothln' about an old sweetheart I don't
remember It all
But It was still when she spoke It wasn't
a sound In th hall.
I don't go much on recltln', but when she
spoke It, you see,
I couldn't help llstenln' to It; she seemed
to talk right at mo
Somothln' about an old sweetheart say,
but sho knew how to speak!
Somethln' In her or O'Ueilly made me all
wet on my check.
An' when 1 looked at th' stranger, hopln'
that he didn't see,
Ills cheek was wet, an' n tear rolled down
on th' side nex" to me.
Somethln' nbout an old sweetheart I don't
remember th' words
But It brought memories to me, spring
time an' flowers an' birds;
Brought back th' spring nn' th' Juno
time thoughts that were misty an'
dlm-
An' I looked over an' wondered what It
was brlngin' to him.
I saw him tako out his kankchef, lookln'
about sort o' sly,
An' when he thought I wa'n't lookln' rub
somethln' outen his eye.
Ho didn't seem like a stranger you know
how sympathy Is
Somethln' nbout an old sweetheart, mebbe
soma kindred o' his.

BEAUTY IN THE COUNTRY.
Suggestions For Making Farms
and
Rural Homes Attractive.
Financial circumstances are often
such that the farmer cannot adorn his
farm with expensive houses, barns and
lawns. But this lack of means should
not discourage the average man, for
there Is no reason why his home
phould not be beautiful. There are
homes where wc see these Improve
ments, yet there may be an element of
beauty lacking to those who lovo beau
ty for beauty's sake. Cleanliness,
good taste and a certain amount of
piide must be seen or beauty will be
lacking. There Is a lack of taste and
management In some country homes
to be deplored.
We see country homes, one after an
other, almost entirely without flowers.
Sometimes we Judge it is because the
women -do not have time to care for
them, but more often we believe It Is
because of the lack of love for flowers
that they are missing, says Mrs. E. V.
Gordon of Lamar county, Tex., In the
Farm and Ranch. Every home should
have its flowers. One Hhould take
tlmo to care for a few at least It re
quires' very little time to plant and
tare for a hardy flower, and that flow
er will afford pleasure and beauty for
many days in the year. Flowers np
peal to our finer taste, aud In the cul
tivation of them we become more re
fined. Tho frout yard should have good
walks and well arranged flower beds,
and theso should be kept clear of
weeds and grass if possible. The back
yard should never be neglected. It is
Just as Important a factor, if not more
so, in tho everyday life of the home-
maker ns the front yard. All weeds
and rubbish should bo removed and
trees and flowers of value planted.
It has been our lot to bo thrown Into
somo communities where tho averaga
farmer greatly neglected tho appear
ance of his farm and seemed to be pos
sessed with a don't care disposition
and to be endowed with very poor
Ideas of refinement
There is so much left undono which
could be doue with profit and added
comfort Our farms would bo much
more attractive if all fence rows,
orchards and back lots were kept
clear of weeds and grass. Gates and
bam doors should bo well made and
hinged, not propped. Fence wires
where they are loose at every other
post should be stapled up. These are
small thlugs, but they mar tho beauty
of tho farm. Our farms are often
destitute of trees. This should not be.
There is time wasted unthoughtfully
which could be used in putting out
trees around yards, lots, fences and in
pastures. "In all labor there is profit"
