pies in tho commorclal as well
ns tho social life of Marshflcld was
pleasantly and prolltably demonstrat
ed in tho successful "smoker" given
tho other ovoulng to MnJ. Morrow.
It afforded 1111 opportunity for this
government olllclal to come in closer
personal contact with tho represen
tative business mon of Coos Hay and
nn oxchnngo of news and views re
sulted that woro mutually interest
ing. Tho more formal functions of
this character a 10 Involved In n re
straint that hampurs tho full and
free expression that follows whou
men meet as on this occasion at tho
Mllllcoma club. The club at this
time performed a publlo sorvico for
nil Coos Hay that was of unusual
vijlue. it In no manner usurped the
Junctions of the Chamber of Com
inorco but on tho contrary was sup
plemental to tho work of that or
ganization. MnJ. Morrow told some
plain niul profitable truths to tho
assembled business men, In return
ho received Information that was
enlightening and tho exchnngo was
mutually cordial and courteous.
It was an event of more than pass
ing Importanco to tho commercial in
terests of Coos Hay. Tho results that
nro cortatn to follow a fuller under
Htundlng between men are always
broadening and beneficial. This Is
tho place and function of tho Mllllco
ma club. It Is performing Its mis
sion most successfully and Is deserv

iiKoment of all legitimate business
Interests on Coos Hay.
"THE OREGON PLAN"
Mff 1 1 has been wild against tho
socalled "Orogon Plan." Tho
critics of direct legislation and
all It Implies, consisting for the most
part of machine politicians and ling
ers who have been driven to tho tall
timber, lime called hor tho "fool of
tlio family." A recent onstoni vis
itor, a college professor noted for his
theoretical knowledge of government,
has made sureaatlu remarks concern
ing tho Oregon way of doing thing
political. Hut despite theso criticisms
it Is a slgnlllcaut fact that a great
majority of the twenty-seven govern
ors who scut messages to the legis
latures of their states during tho past
wook recommended the adoption of
such salient features of tho "Oregon
Plan" as the initiative and referen
dum and tho direct election of Till
tod States sonntors. Tho snmo re
ports liavo como front tho fur east
and the middle west that have ema
nated from the far west. In fur-off
Massachusetts Govornor Foss goos

adoption of portions of Oregon's cor

A LITTLE SLOW.
THE legislator with a freak law to
proposo la a bit backward about
coming forward so far In tho
present session of the legislature.
Our own Senator Chnso's school
bath tub Is nbotit tho only ono that
has yet been sprung on tho public.
Perhaps tho Oregon legislator Is
a bit short on Ideas. If ho Is, hero
aro a few suggestions from other
state legislatures:
Down In Kansas a senator Is pre
paring n bill to forbid the placing
of fancy bands on cigars because they
Injure tho wrapper and give the
smoker endless trouble.
In still another state a bill has
been offered restricting the size of a
woman's hat for street wear.
In still another state an Individual
offered n measure providing that pe
destrians should carry gongs or
horns by day and hetul and tail lights
by night If they trespass on the
streets or highways.
Hut while the session lasts there
Is hope that the usual number of
freak b!lW will be offered.
Who will be the next.
HELP THE HOY'S.
IX THESE days when much is be
ing done for tho conservation of
nlmost everything else, wo Bhould
not overlook tho movements that
have for their purpose tho conserva
tion of our boys and setting them on
the light way Into manhood.
It wns stated recently by a Chi
cago Judge that from GG to 70 per
cent of tho criminals now going
through the courts nro boys or
young men ranging from 10 to 25
years of age. Statistics gathered
from tho prisons of tho country by
workers of the Y. M. C. A. boys'
department vorlfy theso figures, for
most prison Inmates aro committed
along about tho tlmo they get into
their twontlcs. Thcso statistics
show, further, that tho average crim
inal In prison started on his crlmtnnl
enrcor soon nfter ho got into his
teons and committed his first crimin
al net along about high school age.
Thoro nro numerous movements
now under way to keep boys Interest
ed In clean and wholesomo activities.
Tho Y. M. C. A. Is tho largest nml
best organized among ,thcm; the
churches nro promoting various
things among boys In a' denomina
tional wny: the boy scout movomont
Is growing rapidly.
Mon nml women who hnvo either n
gonoral or n special Interest In bovs
cannot find better opportunity for
doing great servlro than In some tine
of these lines of ondonvor for boys.
Pick out Mint movomont which seems
to lit your rlrcumstnucos host and
then help push It along. It will do
you good and It will do many a boy
good.
THE HIHI) .MAX.
TIIEHE IS XO DOUHT that tlio
"blrdnian" Is tho proper name
for tho expert nvlator. Moro
and More Is tho world convinced of
the appropriateness of the title ns
the days pass and bring in their
passing some new achievement In
aerial navigation.
There Is tho ense of nirdmnu (ilonn
Curtlsa nnd his performance down on
Sun Diego Hay the other day. Not
merely a land blrdinun did ho prove
himself, but a swlft-wingod messen
ger that can skim over the surface of
the water or still through the nil' at
will. In all respects save that oi
diving and submarine stunts, Mr.
Curtis made It clear that man will
lie able, eventually, to Indulge In
bird-like lllght oer the deep for any
distance mid under any conditions,
with the strength mid In n manner
not unlike that of the stormy petrol.
With overy now accomplishment
In aviation, amazement Is excited un
til people are illspnsotl to think they
cauuot be too optimistic or sanguine
as to that which the blrdmnii shall
finally do. What snno man, ten
years ago, would have believed that
the achievement by Mr. Curtiss would
be possible within the next one hun
dred yearn, If ever? Yet there Is tho
feat of a man li a winged mnohlno
riding the water with till the cor
talnty and as gracefully ns tiny footn
oted navigator of the deep, and at
the will of Its driver rising thore
from and cleaving the air like n bird
mows nil.

OKLAHOMA MAY
BUILD RAILWAY
Two Hills to That EllVct Are Hclng
Dlsciihsed by Mm Sttito
I.cglsliltut'f.
A recont Issue of tho Kansas City
Star contains the following con
cerning 11 state built railway which
will bo read with Interest on Coos
Hay and future developments follow
od carefully. Tho Star says: "A
scheme contemplating the building
by Oklahoma of n railroad Hue from
Northwestern to Southwestern Okla
homa, and another lino from north
to south paralleling ono of the trunk
lino rnllroads, was considered at n
eouforonco Inst week by sonnto and
house committees Jointly with the
olllcers of the Stnto Federation of
Labor. Tho constitution of Oklaho
ma provides that tho state may en
gago In private buslnoss. Tho move
ment comes largoly from organized
labor. Tho cost of construction, In
cluding equipment, Is to bo about
$15,000 a mile. Honda for tho build
ing would bo lssuod nnd guaranteed
by the state. Should the scheme
ninko fnvorablo progress In tho legis
lature, It will be submitted to a vote
of the people.
Tho proposal has gained followers
In tho legislature. Tho state consti
tution pormlts Mint. Two bills, dif
fering lu some important particulars,
aro boing drawn and will bo discuss
ed aim consolidated.
A Nebraska woman has remnrkod
Mint "bald heads look pretty and
clean enough to kiss," but we1 prefer
to nwalt the verdict of tho chorus
girls who have to look down on a
row of shining domes at every per-
fort
the Year
They arc equally as convenient in fall and winter as '
they are in the hot weather. There may be less
discomfort from kitchen fires, to be sure, but the electric
flat iron has many other advantages than saving heat.
They save drudgery. They save footsteps between
ironing board and stove. They never need changing.
They are always clean and uniformly hot ready at
your elbow.
Thousands of Women
'use them who prefer to iron little things themselves in
their own room, or elsewhere, on short notice. An elec
tric iron once tried is never, afterward dispensed with. '
Why not try one yourself. Ask us for particulars.
