Everybody will admit that .nii!lltn.i in Tlu. Times, lust uvuiilnir.

The thorough ness with wlilch the ground Is gone over Ih assurance of its accuracy and uvea the summary guve evidence of tJio carefulness with which the de tails wero worked out. The water situation on Coos Bay is rapidly reaching an uctite stage and the necessity of some action wjll soon become Imperative. Both In duality and quantity the present sys tem Is Inadequate. The Improve ments proposed by the prospective )iirchasers of the Flanagan & Den nett system would bo only a tempo rary relief If one-half our hopes of municipal growth tire realized. The franchise and the rates demanded by the new company tire prohibitive. Water being a vital element in the physical ami Industrial life of the community Is something that cannot be made a matter of barter that everybody Is right. Everybody makes the laws for everybody, and everybody obeys everybody's laws sometimes; yet everybody is not nl ways 8atlslled with everybody's meth od of obeying or disobeying. Every body wants everybody's money, and everybody tries to keep everybody out , of everybody's strong box; everybody ' plans to outwit everybody along these , lines; everybody succeeds and every- j body does not succeed. This prill-: clple is what makes business good for , everybody. These observations may j be taken as truth they are truth '. because everybody says so. Every-1 body knows It, too. .

Jn an address on the "Hegulntlou of Public Utlllttes" delivered on the Jlfth day of the present month to the League of American municipalities in annual convention at Atlanta, Georgia by Arthur S. Huey, vice president of II. M. Bylloaby & Co., owners of the Coos Uay Electric Light, Gas nnd Power Co., this slate mo nt was made: "WITH THE EXCEP TION OF WATER WORKS OPERATION, WHICH I BELIEVE TO HE PRO I'EHIiV A MUNICIPAL 1T.NCTION, ITS VITAIj NECESSITY TRANSCEND ING ITS COST." There you have the opinion of olio of tho head men In a corporation thnt Ih the largest owner of public utili ties In the United States. In this ad dress he advocates regulation ns op posed to public ownership but he ex cepts waterworks which he openly nnd boldly declares he believes do be "a proper municipal function." When a man of the prominence of Arthur S. Huey wIioho practical ex purlcnro In all parts of the United States with public utilities makes such a declaration It Is poworful tes tomnny to tho worth and necessity of city owned waterworks. AX Old) FASHIONED FALL. A WRITER In the Oe'ober Llppln cntt'H discourses regretfully of the vanished splendor of n real autumn which he used to enjoy when the frost wiih on tho pumpkin and the fodder In tho shock, and lie didn't linve to buy his apples and potatoes at tho corner grocery, but lilgged them Into tho cellar bins In gunny tmoks mid bushel baskets. The sketch Is an Interesting one. It hIiowh genuine appreciation of tho Klorlex of October Kiiiislilno and No vember moonlight, nnd tho misty purples of nu early dusk. Hut It sets one to wondering If the vanished joys linvo to bo vnnlshed lor all time mo- rely because the writer has moved Into n city house or apartment and makes his living by pounding n type writer Instead of following a plow or shaklux down red and yellow ap ple and carting them to the nearest market or puttliiK them In his own collur to provide for a winter of plenty. Perhaps some of (he pleasure of PobhomhIoii Is lost, some of the Joy of Independence that u farmer must feol an lu view Ills treasured harvest and has the Nalhtluctlou of kuowliiK thut It uus ui'own by the sweat of his own brow. Hut possibly also there linn been a saving; in bnck-brenkliiK labor, a kuIii in the plousuros of utmly ami theatre and concert, mid a broadening of Interests because of the mliiiClliiK of lire which the city af fords. At any rate It seems quite possible thnt the Joys of the old-fashioned autumn may bo had still in n large the Tarklngtons have quarreled nnd separated, nnd so, the divorce courts are before them. And each declares there Is no chance for a reconcilia tion nnd thnt hereafter they must follow separate roads and look else where for happiness. -' X WITH THE t I TOAST AND TEA I T lrPf IP- Iff (nf"v ...... if Ml- KtS. 4?sT.

As a result of tholr exhaustive study, tho depart ment has Issued n bulletin entitled "Utilization of Logged-off Land for Pasturo In Western Oregon nnd West orn Wnshlngton." Tho bulletin contains tho following upproxlmutelv u.uuo.onn acres of Improved logged-off land In vtwHoni uregon and Western Wunli Ington. Tho area of sucti land I In creasing j-upldly. Much of iho logged-off land la both Oregon and Washington Is urll adapted to cultivation. Some ot It Is rough and should bo reforested. Owing to tho high cost or remov ing tho stumps' It will bo many years before the bulk or this land will ho carried nnd brought under cultiva tion. If allowed to Uu unused, tho laud UHiially produces a dense growth of under-brush and young ticed. In tills way tho cost of clearing tho land increases from year to year. Tho moist, mild clliimte of Western Oregon and Western Washington Is Is admirably adapted to tho growth or pasturo forage, and stock may bo grazed during most of the year. Tho underbrush may he kept under control or destroyed by properly util Izlug these lauds for pasture. When tho brush Is killed by tho tiso of An gora goats, the cost of clearing tho laud Is materially reduced. Tho uso of logged-off laud for An gorn gout pnsturo Is a great protec tion against forest 111 en. LoKged-off laud Is properly used for pasturo uu follows: 1. Tho land is burned over ns completely ns possible during August or oaiiy September, when everything Is dry. -'. Good stands of grass nro as sured by sowing tho seed In the looso ashes before the fall rains begin. a. Tho pasturo la dlvidod Into sovornl Holds In order that the stock may bo shifted from out enclosure to another as tho food becomes senrco or plentiful. I. WIntor pnsturo is provided W romoving tho stock from an enclo sure In enrly summer. Jn the late fnll tho stock Is turned In to graze upon tho forngo produced during tno Into sunimor und autumn. A good winter pasturo lessons tho necessity for winter feeding. C. Because of tho dilllcttlty of im proving or renowing the stand or grass, owing to tho stumps and treo tops remaining on tho land, it Is cessary to guard carofully ngalnsi ovor-grnzlng. . ti. Becnuso of tho underurusn that persists In growing on ungrazea land and becnuso they feed larger on tho browse, Angora goats buuui bo widely used on logged-off VW laud either to control or kill tno brush. , 7. When tho land Is VVeTlJ. burned over nnd beeded, more forage should bo produced thnn tho goa can consiimo In addition to tner browsing. Somo other kind of sioc should bo run with tho goats to con sumo this surplus feed. Cattle aw most sntlsfnctory for this purpose. Read tho Times Wont Ads. .. i
