OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY
OF MARSHFIELD.
Official rnper of Coos County.
FORESTRY OX PRIVATE LANDS.
COOS BAY Is just now the center
of a notable forward movement
In the conservation of the coun
try's natural resources. C. A. Smith
has just undertaken reforestation
on the largest scale ever attempted
in the United States by a
private individual. The science of
forestry has, so far, been applied al
most exclusively to tho tracts held In
the name of the public. Less than
1 per cent of the private forests, ac
cording to a bulletin just Issued by
the government, has the advantage"
and the protection which the science
can give. Yet three-fourths of the
entire forest area of this country
Is in the hands of private owners.
The business of lumbering has
been one largely of speculation, the
purchase of lands or stumpage, the
rapid hewing o trees without
thought or consideration of the
young tiees Injured upon the trails
or by the falling of matured growths,
arid the marketing of tho logs at tho
earliest moment possible. When all
tho available wood has -been cut
away and the land sold at reasonable
prlco the lumberman's Interest
censes. Ho shifts his axes and saws
to-new ground. Mr. Smith has made
a departure In this lino also. About
a year ago Mr. Smith stated
to the writer that he ex
pected this new mill of his on Coos
Bay to be In operation -100 years
from tho present time. It Is In
keeping with this wlso and far-seeing
policy that tho work of refor
ostratlon has been undertaken 'on
such a large scale.
Naturally while tho business was
of a speculative character tho lum
berman could not bo expected to stu
dy scientific forestry which Is not a
thing of quick profits, but of slow
regular returns. Tho lumberman
must think of tho fire risks, market
fluctuations and tho chances of har
assing taxes. But changes nro com
ing and Coos Bay Is fortunate In hav
ing a pioneer of tho new conditions
locnted here. Tho conservation of
tho tlrnbor resources makes for con
tinued and perpotual prosperity on
Coos Bay.
A
MOSSBACK, gentle reader, Is a
cross between the fifth cen
tury and fifteenth. He Is
found In a fossilized form In nearly
every city In the United States and
still lives. He raises his rents, de
tests a boom, loves to h.-ive other peo
ple bear all the taxes, hates to have
a new enterprise despises anything
which smacks of progress and won't
help a newspaper boom Its own
town. There are several varieties of
mossbacks, but none of much use to
a town. They are as the drones to a
hive of bees and tho industrious bee,
the live 'business man, should avoid
these drones and patronize those who
are an advantage to the ulace they
reside In."

THE ESSENCK OF PROGRESS.
NEVER BEFORE In tho history
of this people, has there- been
such a series of great and pop
ulnr meotlngs In the Interest of hu
mnn progress along all lines as have
takon pluco this your. The great
congresses, devoted to sclonce,
health, civic purity, and all tho 1m
presslvo Issues that move the people
of the United States, havo had their
day this year, and tho results aro
being felt, for pood, all over tho
land. Theso conventions and wide
discussions of the llvo matters be
hind thorn, have afforded an extra
ordinary Intolllgouco In tho popular
conception of tho truths Inhorent In
thorn nil, and tho people at largo are
becoming bettor posted dally on all
that offoets thorn seriously. It Is n
flno school, and will do more to cul
tivate and direct tho right and
rlghtoous exprosslon of public
thought than anything ever attempt
HE UPWARD movement of
prices has continued to a point
that attracts the attention of
students of such dry subjects. The
heavy production of gold Is put for
ward by some authorities as the
principal reason for the persistency
of the advance, but the trouble with
this theory Is the difficulty of prov
ing, or disproving It. In most cases
it Is unnecessary to go so far afield,
as a deficiency In the supply explains
the high price to which wheat ad
vanced, and wheat may be taken
as a fair example of the commodity
In world-wide demand and affected
by world-wide conditions.
In most of the markets there are
speculators always ready to take ad
vantage of every opportunity to ad
vance prices and push them beyond
the proper limit, and there are trusts
and associations of merchants.
wholesale and retail, and producers'
syndicates, more or less steadily en
gaged In plans to Increase profits,
arid it would be strange Indeed if
prices showed no signs of the In
fluence of all theso agencies. Of
course theso price-fixing schemes,
and tho profit-fixing schemes also,
prove more or less short-lived, but
for a time they exert their influence,
being more successful at the revival
of prosperity than soon after a panic.
If prices are too high the con
sumption will soon show it, and then
they will either cease to rise further
or decline, whereas if tho rise Is ful
ly justified both by tho statistics of
supplies and the prosperity of tho
public, It should present no very
material obstacle "to the growth of
retail trade. The only limit to the
prices of merchandise is the wil
lingness or ability of tho public to
pay the rlso. Sometimes it has the
power, but not tho inclination.
Sometimes It Is willing, but not cap
nble. Wo aro probably too near
the panic for tho world public. to
take normal quantities of stnplo
goods at high prices, and there is no
evldenco to show that even our own
public could do so. 'if we aro to see
un era of high prices Injurious to
tho interests of people of ilxed in
comes, it will probably be a brief
one, owing to the consequent Inter
ference with the normal consump
tion, unless the gold output is at tho
bottom of the whole trouble, and, In
that caso, tho fled incomes will bo
readjusted to tho now conditions by
a gradual rlso of wages, Interest,
etc., but In the uieantlmo tho dis
tribution of merchandise would bo

What makes a girl pretty is the

A young widow is awful smart to
look so sad when a lot of old cats
are around.
You can't help being nice to a
man who is a bigger fool than you
are and admits It.
A woman can value a man's merit
when he hasn't any; a man can't a
woman's when she has.
Miss Graham has returned and
has resumed her regular work in
drawing and painting.
"What does your husband like for
his breakfast?"
"Anything I haven't got in the
house."

does not look sad when some girl
gets up and screeches "Home, Sweet

There are lots of Coos Bay women
who know how Cook and Peary feel.
Many a time they have had to cut
for the head prize, but they always
looked pleasant and said nothing
mean for publication while doing U.
Surely the politeness that attended
the critical moment when a painted
plate was In question, is possible
when It Is only a pole.
HINTS TO HOY HUNTERS.
Whllo tho young boy of tho city
learns his A 11 C's, tho boy of tho
California backwoods Is learning tho
laws of the trail. Later he, too,' may
study letters, but not until ho has
thoroughly mastered tho signs of tho

Long before ho Is 10 ho has hunt

Deer tracks and pig tracks are al

If you pitch your camp in a dry

Moss is always thickest on that
part of a tree trunk facing south. If
you wish to find your direction, that
is invariably a sure sign.
A rocky country Is usually infest

Never let your game hang out
