THE DAILY COOS BAY TIMES, MARSHFIELD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 26, 1908.

THE
--
Midway between Golden Gate and
the Sound, Coos Day makes Its
triumphal entry into the coast of
Oregon. Here the ocean extends a
long arm into the mainland and
crooking tis elbow sharply, reaches
Its right hand, so to speak, back to
its shoulder again. The space en
folded is "the peninsular" on which
the population has mainly collected.
Tho hand is there, too, whose hollow
center Is the Inner Harbor and there
are Ave valleys whclh make oft like
tho four fingers and thumb of tho
hand along the deep channels of a3
many navigable inlets. It Is an in
teresting fact that each of these fln-
i
gers and thumb holds an active coal
mine on its tip. The Mill Slough,
so called, is the thumb, short and
Btubby, and it is an easy grade to
the McClellan mine down to the bay.
Coalbank Inlet (the finger of Mars),
is the forefinger which conducts tha
products of the Llbby coal mine to
Marshfleld. The middle finger (tho
finger of Saturn) Is Isthmus inlet,
which reaches almost to the rich Co
quille valley. It is deep and wide
and may become an Applan way of
Commerce. The Beaver Hill, Henry
villo, Maxwell and other mines clust
er like jewels at its knuckles, and
tip. Catching Inlet is the third
finger and at its tip lies that dimi
nutive paradise called Sumner. The
Newcastle Coal mine is at Its second
joint. The little finger of the hand '
Coos River Is not the least by
any means. It is a microcosm of
all the world of summer loveliness
and pastoral peace.
There is In Marshfleld a hill near
the joint of the thumb which belongs
for the most part to the Southern
Oregon Company. Palmists, carry
ing out tho simile of the hand, would
call It the Mount of Venus, but some
body once likened it to Mars Hill
in ancient Athens. It ought to be
called Mars Hill.
Between the thumb,
Mill Slough
and tho forefinger, Is the lowland
from which Marshfleld takes its
name. Tho peninsular north of tho
thumb, along the edge of tho hand
and the arm, is tho Marshfleld water
front and offers a market placo for
tho ships of that ocean which has
seized this remarkable spot and
holds it for some mighty purpose.
No wonder that a city has sprung
up at the wrist of this wonderful
hand! No wonder the four fingers
and thumb, overflowing with varied
resources and abounding In unnum
bered attractions, roll all the local
wealth to tho deep water In front of
Marshfleld. The palmist reads in
S UNHEALTHY
California State Board's Startl
ing Disclosures Situation
On Coos Bay.
SACRAMENTO, Aug. 23. Secre
tary N. K. Fostor, of tho State Board
of Health, said today that an analysis
of several thousand samples at the
Stato laboratory at Borkeloy showed
that nearly all tho cheap candy sold
in California is grossly adulterated,
somo of tho chewing candles con
taining as much as 23 per cent pnraf
flno. Many other adulterations are used,
hut tho Indigestible quality of paraf
Jlno makes its almost universal uso
in tho cheapor grades of caudles a
matter of special concern to tho
Stato Board of Hoalth.
Of soventy-slx manufacturers and
dealers in food products that aro to

many sections, striking as It does at
tho world's most cherished posses

uses candy now and thou, but tho
children are tho most regular pat

HAND OF COOS BAY
By Francis H. Clarke
the lines of this hand of the Pacific,
a destiny which must be, not yield
ing but commanding. That thumb
do the people of Marshfleld know
what strength It has? Do they know
that It bends Its joint through a na
tural pass across that peninsular
whero some day a market street like
that of San Francisco shall thunder
from hand to shoulder from harbor
to bar and that what the hand lifts
to the shoulder, the shoulder shall
carry with Herculean ease to the ut
termost parts of the earth? Do they
know that the imperial forefinger

:At
Coalbank will erelong point the way
along the sunny south slopes whose
benches must be orchard laden to
the tumult of transcontinental traf
fic? Do they know that every knuc
kle of the finger of Saturn (Ibthmus)
will seo separate subcentors of the
great seaport of Coos Bay, and that
ships will plough through its pictur
ed waters into tho Coquille, Bandon
and Myrtle Point? Do they know
that Catching Inlet Is tho finger of
tho Sun and that Its destiny will
wsw
tent that adulteration is practiced by
candy manufacturers.
After being shown the above dis
patch Mr. Bradley said:
"You will notice by this dispatch
that parafllno is the most largely used
adulterant as well as it is the most
'ndlgestible and injuripus ingre
dient and Is strictly forbidden by
tho pure food laws. I cannot make
any statement regarding other candy
manufacturers, but I can say abso
lutely and with tho greatest emphasis
posslblo that there is not and never
has been an ounco of parafllno in
tho candy factory of tho Modern Com
pany. Not only is there none of this
poison but no other adulterant or in
jurious Ingredient of any character
'n "Modern Sweets." Tho most
critical analysis nnd careful examin
ation of theso candles will prove that
they conform not only to tho Oregon
puro food Inw but to tho national
puro food law as well, for nothing
but tho purest sugar and pure fruit
flavors and extracts enter into tho
composition of "Modern Sweets."
I am glad to seo tho papers taking
this matter up for it is something
tho public should bo Informod upon.
It is a matter of very great Import
ance that a food so universally usod
and onto going Into every homo should
bo free from tho contamination of
commeiclul greed which would not
hcsltuto to use poisonous adulterants
In ordor to incieaso profits."
In parting Mr. Bradloy remarked
"You cannot bo too emphatic in your
ntatomont thnt tho Modern Confec
tionary Company's products are free
from all adulterants."

It was discovered tho flames wero
leaping Into tho air from every

other furniture, which together with
the houso brought the losu of at least
