people of this cliy. 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. .
TOPICS
Truth Is stranger than fiction, nnd i
In every other column of tho dally
papers we find proof positive of the!
fact. Just now we are considering
the case of Mr. nnd Mrs. Both Tark
tngton. Iloth are writers of note.

public utilities.
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.

ous or reclamation. 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.
