Plants Resume Operations and
May Continue Steadily
Henceforth.
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.

CLARKE TALKS
OF HIS IMP
Prospects For Briquetting
Plant and Coos Bay
Bright.
Francis H. 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.

fO KILL TOUR TOWN,
Surest Way Is to Trade With
Mail Order Concerns.
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.
