The Porter Mill at North Bend, which has been closed, resumed operations this morning and will run as long as logs are obtainable. The old town mill Is also busy. As soon as the fall rains begin and the Inlets nnd creeks raise, the trouble in secur ing logs will pass away. Manager Allen of the North Bend Shingle Mill Company, and the North Bend Lumber Company announces that their plants will soon resume activity and will probably run stead ily. The Reynolds Mill, which was re cently closed by E. M. Ward, the new porprletor, to make repairs and im provements that will enlarge the out put, will resume operations in a few day3 and will probably run steadily. I TRANSFER CASE Asks That Gov.

Clarke has returned from Portland and other places In Oregon and Washington where he has been for the last two months with greater faith than ever In the future of Coos Bay. A reporter of The Times called on him at his office and Mr. Clarke gave him the follow- ilng statement: I "I am glad to be back on Coos Bay. There Is something about this locality which has always been deep ly interesting to me and I have found 'all along the coast north of this city and in most parts of Oregon and Washington there Is a very strong bu lief that Coos Bay has a great fu ture. The people of Portland are pretty familiar with the expectation" and resources of Coos Bay and se ni to have a very friendly feeling tor the place. They showed this by the questions they asked and the declera tion which is heard on every side that Coos Bay will be a great "sea port when it gets a railroad. "I found 'that as soon as certain little difficulties In this locality can be arranged, the German-American Coal-Briquet Company can have all the money it needs and more too, for the purpose of establishing a bri quetting plant here. A strong syn dicate is ready to advance the funds for the installation of a plant to apply the Thles process to the work of making the slack of the lignite coal, commercial. The feature of the Thles process which appeals to put their money into this Coos Bay the gentlemen who are prepared to project Is that it briquets these coals project is that it briquets there coals for domestic purposes without the use of a binder. That is, It forms the slack of the coal mines Into bricks of coal without the use of pitch, oil, tar or asphaltum, and these Bricks have no odor when burn ed. I found Coos Bay coal in Port land-selling at $5 per ton and most of" the Back" yards of the mansions were disfigured by great unsightly wood piles. If the company formed to briquet our coals can get a favor able. location under proper conditions we can make this bay the great coal market of the coast. This is all I he more certain as the Puget Sound mines are admittedly becoming ex hausted. That fact I ascertained by consulting those who know. "I shall be glad to make a report to the Chamber of Commerce show ing what I did at the Development Congress held at Roseburg two weeks ago. I may say, however, that the people of Coos Bay know how interested the Roseburg people are in a railroad connection with the sea at this point and I believe that it will be possible for a corporation which would undertake to connect- the two places by rail to get large help in many parts 01 the state, more parti cularly all southwestern Oregon and the south half of the Willamette Val ley." Bryanlsm Must Bo Burled. Considering that Mr. Bryan this year has been at his best, that be has been nble for expediency to lay aside his radicalism and adopt more moderate tactics, still he docs not and never can measure up to the standard of chief magistrate. lie Is for one thing very unfortunate in his friends nnd associ ates. There Is not one of them that we want to see In tho cabinet or on the supreme court bench or representing us abroad. There Is not a single oue of Mr. Bry an's 1D0S Ideas that wo want to adopt So we are going to defeat Mr. Bryan once more, but It must bo so decisive that Bryanlsm must bo burled forever. For twelve years he has Immsii a menace to business stability, n menace to pros perity, n menace to good government. The Democratic party must bo rehabil itated, must find some statesman In Its ranks to lead It four years hence. But first Mr. Bryan must be burled, and buried deep, on tho 3d of November. A Georgia negro who shot a sheriff without seriously wounding him was promptly lynched by a party of Bry an's political supporters who are usk lug tho northern negro to vote for Bry an and Kern, whllo they deny to tho southern negro a trial when accused of crime.

WHY YOU SHOULDN'T DO SO. Encourage Your Local Dealer and Thereby Enhance the Value of Local Property Why Help to Build Up an Outside Trust 7 A Home Trade Talk. By sending the money away from home the person who patronizes the mail order house impoverishes bis locaf merchant, prevents his local merchant from bringing on well assorted stocks or large stocks of merchandise, pre vents the local'merchant from employ ing more help, which usually cornea from the ranks of bis pairous; pre vents his local merchant from assisting worthy local enterprises, either the church, lodge, factory or political movement, that are nearly always for the benefit of his community, says Up to Date Farming, published from Indianapolis. The paper continues with this strong argument for hoin trading: It prevents the growth of popula tion In the community In which th patrons of the mall order houses llv- and in that way reduce3 the value o land In which the farmer In particular Is interested. The greater number of people in the community the better should be the price of land. By patronizing the mail order house:) the person patronizing such houses is often deprived of the privilege of buy ing many articles that he needs im mediately that would be of great ben efit to Jilni nnd whose cost could prob nbly bo saved many times over if he could but be supplied at puce. By refusing and falling to buy from his local dealer he loses the opportuni ty of buying goods which he nctually needs and which by comparison he could pick out as the best and th cheapest. It Is a well known fact that mail order houses get the most of their business based on tow priced goods, and when a low price Is named In variably low class goods are furnished It Is also a well known fact that mail order houses buy seconds and goods of low qunllty. As a rule, of course, they keep some standard goods that they offer at less than legitimate profit, which blinds the mall order house customer and makes him believe that everything the mall order house offers Is good quality and low In price, willed, of course. Is not true. It behooves every person, whether ho bo farmer, mechanic, professional man or capitalist, to buy everything that he needs from his local merchant when It Is possible to do It to do everything that he can to encourage tho local dealer nnd local manufactur ers. The sympathy of your own peo ple Is a thing much to be desired nnd very much needed. It Is a fact nnd can be proved that many former successful merchants in communities that were prosperous pre vlous to the advent of the mall order houses have been bankrupted and re duced to poverty, and the people lo such communities can get only tin? bare necessities and have to make fr quent trips to nearby towns In order to make selections that they formerly could obtain at home from their local merchants. Wo appeal to all persons to patronize their locnl merchants always and never to let the small difference In price on a few articles stand In tho way of pat ronizing the local merchant Is It consistent to .undertake to fight tho trust with oue hand, the trusts that have reduced the price of labor ami farm products to such an extent that your calling Is the poorest paid In the laud, and help form another trust wltl. the other hand because these trustn are willing to sell to you In some In stances at a price slightly lower thnjL your local merchaut can Fell the good to you for nud get a living profit? You will find that your home mer chant will sell you tho same quality of goods Just as1 cheap If you pay him cash and tho freight, aud you get tho goods without waiting from two to three weeks for them. Temporary Park Planting. It is often advisable in park plant lug to set out a secondary set of treey for Immediate effect, these to be cut out later. For this purpose nothing surpasses tho eucalyptus, for if well watered the first year the trees will provide for tho second summer s Initio sulllclent for picnics nnd like gather ings. In the third year they have formed n young forest, providing shel ter sufficient for any purpose, bcsldej giving n decided park-like effect to tho tract. Not later than tho fifth year they sU-iuld In part bo removed, and, this policy continued with, by tho tenth year not one should bo left. If tho fundamental planting bus been skillfully done a sluglo decade of growth should give some good shade aud permanent landscape effects. Novel Treo Preservation. A subterranean tree uiny bo s'on In front of the Eluihurst grouuds In Kansas City. It Is a giant elm that grew In the primeval forest before Kansas City arrived. When tho strict was graded and a till of felx or eight feet made on the adloinlug property It was decided to save this flno oM forest tree. Therefore an nrenwnr of brick wns built around It and an Iron grating Inserted nt the top. So the old tree still stauds nt Its former levol, but amid entirely different surroundings from the days when the forest was unbroken. Discovery of a Planet. The glory of discovering the big planet belongs to two men. An astron omer In Cambridge and another In Paris, each quite Ignorant of what the other was doing, applied themselves to the task simultaneously. Each Inde pendently declared that If the laws of motion nud gravitation were true there must bo at a certain spot In the heaven' a certain mass of matter hith erto unknown to astronomers. The presence of such a mass of matter In such n place would account, they said, for the disturbances that had been no ticed In the movements of Uranus When the telescope was turned to the point Indicated the planet which we now know as Neptune was dl"covered This brilliant piece of work was done by Leverrler and Adams on the 23d day of September. 1S4G.
