FIGHTING THE FLY.
"IME was, and not so very long
ago, when a serious proposal by
the Government to undertake
the extermination of the house fly as
a deadly enemy of the human race
would have been regarded with
amazement and derision. That insect
had for ages been regarded as an in
nocent if not, indeed, a beneficient
creature, the only indictment of
which was its proclivity for disturb
ing alte sleepers and for annoying
with its too affectionate attentions
the possessors of hairless pates. As
for the possibility of ridding the
world of it, even were that desirable
It would have been dismissed with
invincible increduallty, as though one
had sugosted the drying up of the
ocean. Those were the days "when
we made bricks In Egypt," in bon
dage to ignorance, and superstition;
before the coming of Pasteur to set
us free.
Now it is perfectly well known,
however, that the fly was well wor
thy to be ranked among the deadly
plagues which scoured recalcitrant
Pharaoh, and that It Is In reality a
singularly noxious creature, to whose
black account pestilence and death
sire to be abundantly charged
C. B. Zeek has sold his residence
to Mr. Pery, Sr., and will give pos
session about April 1st. Mr. and
Mrs. Zeek will then take a trip to
California and eastern Oregon, and
will return here in about a month or
six weeks, and will probably build
another residence this fall.
On Saturday carpenters began the
work of enlarging the store of W. C.
Itose on Front street. The partition
betwen the store and the ioom form
erly occupied by the Stutsman Real
Estate Company was torn out and the
store room enlarged to this extent.
L. V. Bridges of Marshfield, one of
the proprietors of the former Gar
field hotel in that city, was in the
valley this week looking for suitable
dairy and cattle land. MK Bridges
announced that he found "so much
that he had not as yet been able to
make a choice. He also visited Ban
don, Myrtle Point and also looked at
land all along the river.
. Mrs. Charles Wlckham and daugh
ter Esma of Bandon visited in Co
quille a few days this week, being
on their return home from Marsh
field where they went to see Mrs. A.
A. Luckey, Mrs. Wickham's mother,
before her departure for Portland.
J. S. Jackson, who formerly con
ducted the Maryland Cafe in this
city, returned to Coquille last week
and purchased the McClendon. Res
taurant which has been conducted
for some time by Hawley and Mc
Cann. Alfred Schroeder and family, who
have resided at Johnson's mill for
several years, where Mr. Schroeder
was employed in the mill, left this
week for Marshfield where they will
reside for a time.
We have been informed that there
will be another store in Rlverton this
coming summer. It is to be general
merchandise and is to equal any in
the valley.
The Catholic church has been
moved a short distance south, raised
about four feet from the ground.
and a new belfry is now being built,
and a bell will be put up. When
the work is all completed, the ap
pearance of the building will be
greatly improved.

The gasoline boat Osprey with

we are informed, to run the boat the

mer complaint," cholera Infantum
and the allied enteric Ills of child
hood. Tho mention of cobra and
Icralt makes men shudder, yet the fly
probably causes more deaths each
year than all the venomous serpents
of tho Indian jungle. Familiarity
with it as with vice has caused us
to regard it with tolerance, but that
regard In no degree divests It of its
detestable characteristics and its de
structive potentiality.
Tho extermination of this pest Is
no doubt a formidable undertaking,
but its difficulty Is no greater than
its need. Experience, indeed, gives
much encouragement for the enter
prise. Tho mosquito has not, It Is
truo, been exterminated. Tho cam
paign against it Is yet too now for
such a lcsult. But a degreo of prog
ress toward that ond has been made
which a few years ngo would have
seemed incredible, and the sanitary
results of It are gratifying beyond all
expectation. If malaria could be ban
ished from Port Said and yellow fe
ver from Cuba and Panama, it would
certainly not seem Utopian to plan a
great abatement of tho plague of
files, if not entire extinction of that
deathbearlng nuisance.
Tho systematic campaign which is
to bo started this spring by the De
partment of Agriculture deserves en
couragement and co-oporatlon. It is
to be conducteij in rural regions
rhlefly where tho need Is perhaps
even greater than elsewhere and
where, the need Is perhaps even great
er than elsewhere and where the diffi
culties are perhaps greatest. In clt
ios the health board ought to under
take blinllnr campaigns with onor
S)' nn l persistence, if this Is done,
i,uil If all people treat the fly as
those should who have regard for
cither c1eaullnes or health, the ap
proximate extermination of the bane
ful little creature will not be remote.
We have practically exterminated
by selfishness and greed or through
t-heer wnntomnesg, so many lunoceut

A. S. Elliott, receiver for the
Bandon Light & Power Co., states
that he will probably have the books
and other business of the company
straightened out by April 1st so that
he can go to Improving the plant

Ed. Johnson, of the Fat Elk coun

It was with regret that the people
of this community received the news
that Rev. Simmons was to depart
from Curry. He has ' made many
friends during his short stay here.
He says, however, that the Methodist
Church Is here to stay and that he
will be succeeded by an able speaker
who will look after his little flock.

may need missionaries but its great
est need, nt present, Is a body of
floor managers who will make a
ruling against the habitual orowd of
roughs from Smith River, who come
to the Harbor dances, bringing a lot
of whiskey nnd fight and women who
become so drunk that they have to
be removed from the hall: and after
having made this ruling see that It
i s'licly enforced.
Curry needs churches anil needs
