One woman In five In the United
States has abandoned the domestic
life and has become a Wage-earner.
Even thl? does not accurately state
the situation. In country districts
only two women out of every eleven
arc at work, but in cities, that Is,
wherever Industrial opportunities are
present, two women out of every
seven are at work, nearly one-third
of the total women population, says
tho Broadway Magazine. How far

Nothing is left undone

through with it yet, but we see signs
of Improvement. Harriman should
build that road in from Drain. It
will not pay the first year, but It
will not be long beforo It will be one
of the best paying roads In Oregon.
Coal traffic is one of the best freight
paying commodities that is carried
by the railroads. There are several
reasons why this Is so. It is easily
handled by unskilled labor, and there
Is no fear of breakage and even If
the train is wrecked the coal Is only
spilled and no damage Is done to it.
Passenger traffic and high-class
freight traffic Involve an immense
risk In damages in case of wreck.
All tho railroads operated anywhere
near the anthracite coal regions of
Pennsylvania have made an effort to
get a part of this profitable coal car
rying "business. The Delaware and
Hudson, tho Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western whose stock is worth
5 to 1. The Erie, tho Pennsylvania,
the Lehigh Valley ,tho Reading, the
Ontario and Western and a number
of other smaller roads either have
main lines or branch lines extending
into the coal regions of this state
and the tonnage of this coal carry
ing business Is immense and the pro
fits to the railoards are immense.
Coos Day has about all tho coal
there is In Oregon and California too
for that matter and you have only
scratched the surface towards devel
oping that Industry yet. Of course,
you have water transportation but
that Is not enough. A railroad would
have an Immense tonnage out of
Coos Bay in coal alone for use in
the towns of Willamette Valley and
regions farther east. As soon as the
coal industry is developed to any
extent, the population of Marshfield
and North Bend will increase rapid
ly. Add to this your Immense lum
ber possibilities and Coos Bay offers
Inducement for a greater tonnage in
freight carrying for a railroad than
any other place in Oregon.
If Col. Holablrd is thoroughly
alive to the coal possibilities of Coos
Bay he will certainly make a report
favorablo to building the Drain and
Coos Bay railroad.

Miss Myrtle Hodson has again
taken a position with tho telephone
exchange.
the census bureau. The total num
ber of women at work in the twenty
seven cities is 904,695. Of these
173,030 are boarding or living in the
families of their employers. The
remaining 731,665 are described as
follows:
Woman tho sole wage-earner. 98,861
One other wage-earner In
family 218,415
Two other wage-earners In
family 188,089
More than ,two other wage
earners in family 226,300
Out of 731,665 women at work
98,861 are supporting the family,
and between 218,415 and 532,804
are contributing to the family in
come. Remember that these are city
workers and represent nearly one
third of all the women In those ci
ties. At last accounts the number of
women In Industry was Increasing
faster than the birth rate. How long
will It bo before the home, except for
rich people, will be as obsolete as
stage coaches, hoopsklrts, and merry
Christmas?
Recurring periods of industrial de
pression always bring poverty to the
surface. We have no permanent
class of unemployed In this country
as yet but we have a large pop
ulation which barely manages to
keep above water. When the tide
rises ever so little above the average
this big population has to be rescued
from drowning. It has no foothold
but the shifting sand, and It cannot
swim.
But this last panic brought some
thing now to the surface. It brought
to light a force at work in this land
of boundless wealth and unlimited
opportunities; a force which if not
met will result In a wholesale wreck
ing of homes. Already the silent
force has eaten far Into the social
fabric. Its outward and visible sign
is the fact that on the shoulders of
millions of women has descended a
monstrous double burden, under
which not only they but their chil
dren and their homes are slowly
sinking.

A CURE FOR RHEUMATISM.
Each recurring attack of rheuma
tism makes tho disease harder to
control, but tho fact that it is not
in Itself dnngerous causes people to
neglect It, awaiting a change or a
settled condition of tho weather for
relief. It Is often only after the dis
ease has become so serious as to in
terfere with business that the suf
ferer will seek more than temporary
relief. Chamberlain's Liniment Is a
re.nody for rheumatism which any
one can apply. It not only gives
I rompt relief from pain, but In a
large majority of cases it brings
alout permanent results. The first
application will surprise and delight
you as Immediate relief Is nlmost
sure to follow. For sale by JOHN
PREUSS.
