Ofllcial Paper of Coos Comity.
THE POHT COMMISSION SUIT.
EVERY resident of the territory
embraced within the confines of
the Port of Coos Bay will bid
hearty good speed to the efforts lo
hasten a decision In the suit which
Is retarding and preventing the im
portant project of the development
cf the harbor. Just at the present
time when the attention of men pro
minent in the railway world Is
directed toward this section It would
be advantageous to have all these
evidences of divisive strife submerg
ed and settled.
While this suit has been generally
deplored It serves the one good pur
poso of securing a final settlement of
tho exact legal status of the
Port Commission. A confirm
atory edict will for all time,
lay every ambiguity attaching
to Its conditions and existence and
entrench It so firmly and legally to
avert all possible future chance for
dispute, denial or disruption as may
arlso to hamper or qualify Its organ
ic authority to act. It's warrants,
it's negotiations, It's contracts will
hnvo the substance of perfect estab
lishment nntl incontrovertible rule
and power, wherewith to launch,
build and malinain tho big Improve
ments necessary to the development
of this harbor. Tho Commission
will then possess an assured status
upon which to approach tho Govern
ment ltsolf In Its search for recog
nition and endorsement, as well t as
for tho aid that may bo expected
Irom that sourco at such times as it
shall bo essential.
It Is worth much to bo free from
luest!on and attack. And so Import
ant a creation as the Port Commis
sion Is entitled to tho soundest and
freest status that can bo attained.
Evoryono will bo glad to seo the ter
mination of this suit for the sake of
tho results which aro hopefully an
ticipated and tho latitude of safe
and effective action that must cujil,
Tho sooner it is settled the sooner
will Coos Bay havo the necessary im
provements and all of her port ap
purtenances and benefits.
,atp and the chorus girl sings about
.. ii.
.it all this has changed. Tho
.msia Domestlca is no longer the in
nocent common hojse fly. He Is the
Tjphoid fly and camped on his trail
are not a few nervous females but
phjs.eians and etomologists, board3
of health, business men's associations
and civic improvement leagues, pure
food societies and ami-tuberculosis
societies and every reformer who has
a little spare time from his other re
forms. The concensus of opinion among
these wise people Is that there Is
nothing to be said for the fly. He
breeds In 111th and he carries dis
ease and the picture they draw of his
rapid transit from the manure pile
to tho baby's glass of milk Is enough
to give us typhoid fever from sheer
fright.
We are told that If there is no
dirt there will be no flies and the
anti-fly crusaders are wisely sending
out their campaign literature before
the fly season opens. Our only hope
is to got in ahead of the fly for If left
to Itself, its descendants during a
single season, according to the con
scientious calculation of a scientist,
will amount to 8,134,000,000. Even
if some of them should perish n the
butter, that's a pretty big number
to reckon with.
Florida, Georgia and Louisiana
have ambarked In the anti-fly cru
sade officially. The women of Cali
fornia havo organized for the pur
pose. The Department of Labor in
New Jersey has issued an order that
all bakeries must be screened.
Oregon must not be behind the,
times If she Is not so already. A
woman who came here from the east
last year said she was amazed at the
carelessness which was permitted In
Marshfleld and she found proof of Its
baneful effect In the number of files
which was far greater than In her
former eastern home.
There are two fundamental rules
In tho anti-fly crusade. Rule 1
Keep everythln so clean that there
can be no flies. Rule 2 When you
see a fly that is the result of some
body else's carelessness swat him
The fly, of course.

when he went up town to buy pota

bet your bottom dollar, the Jiner, he
was there. He ate some cheese and
pickles and a bait of oysters fried,
then took a first class founder and
went right home and died. NdV

twenty thousand In Insurance on his
life. She said, "I see that everv-
thlng has come my way at last," and
sho got her second husband before

ROOT AND TAFT CONFER.
Senator Refuses to Talk About Prob
able Meeting with Roosevelt.
(Bv Associated Press
WASHINGTON, D. C, April 21.
Senator Root passed nearly an hour
with President Taft at the White
House. The Senator expects to sail
for Europe May 21. He would not
say whether he would seo Roose
velt on the other side before the lat
ter sailed for New York where he is
due June 17. Root goes to the Ha
gue as one of the American repre
sentatives In the Newfoundland fish
eries dispute.
.People who are Inclined to "knock'
because they say prices of property
on Coos Buy and In Coos county are
too high will be Interested In the
fact that two thousand two hundred
dollars an acre was paid for six
and a half acres of eighteen-year-old
appple orchard In the Hood River
Valley! Takes your breath? That
was the rate which an eastern man
paid, recently for a small farm In
the famous orchard district border
ing the Columbia river and which has
made Oregon grown apples famous
the world over. The total sum paid
for the land was $14,400. The new
owner also purchased seven ac
res of brush land adjoining, for
which he paid 52S.00 per
acre, a record price for unimproved
land. Coos Bay and the Coquille
valley will have to get up and go
some to beat that. The soil Is here.
Now who can make such a showing?

IT MATTERS NOT.
(By Robert V. Can-.)
It matters no. what restless man may
seek,
Fame, glory or a heap of glittering
gold,
Each season slugs the same sweet
thrilling song,
And every day the same old tale Is
told,
It matters not what boastful man
may shout.
What vain, reforms that demagogues
may spawn
The tree are heedless and the flow
ers mute
lloneath the ghostly mists of chang
leas dawn.
It matters not what puny man may
build.
Palace, hut or monstrous pile of
stoue,
A moment and the patient earth re
bels, And Sorrow stalks the silent s.reets
alone.
It matters not what man may bab
ble of,

WASHINGTON, April 21. During

More than 1,000,000 pieces of mail

did not bear return directions. That
number was nearly SO, 000 more than

In these figures Postmaster Gen

If you cannot have a baby in the
house, be sure to go out and adopt
a grandma. And happy is tho house
that can havo both, for it Is very near
to God in two directions. If you
listen near the corner where grand
ma sits and makes little things for
the children you will always hear
music If you have any inward ear
at all, for the celestial harmonies
are just straining themselves to play
something sweet enough to be heard
in two worlds at once. Somebody
once wrote a song about the quilt
that grandma made and of the stor
ies she told of the time
When grandma's hair was golden
brown,
And the warm blood came and
went,
O'er the face that could scarce have
been sweeter then
Than now. In its siveot nnni

Never has gone away.
