In This Your "Pniin"? EDITOR TIMES: Tho most iiBtoundlng nnd puzzling fenturo of Coos Day is to mo its un developed condition. I ask myself: What Is there to show for moro than halt a century of activity 4n this marvolously rich country? A iow Biiwinllls, yes, beenuse there was such a plentltudo of virgin tlmbor and houses wero needod. And somu creamorles, becaiiBo hords of cows simply turned looso on theso wondor fully fertile bottom lands fairly burst with butterfat and milk 75 pounds a day per cow. And tho cow was given tho Job to pull tho family load, and nfterwards was forced upon hor tho contrnct to oam from 100 to 1000 por cent Interest on tho Investments of her boss. And very llttlo moro was done. In splto of tho fnct that thcro Is porhaps no placo on earth whoro vegetables, berries and fruit will grow moro abundantly nnd to greator perfection than around Coos Day, In spite of this fact", I say, thcro aro shipped Into Coos Day seaports from distant states nnd markotH such life's necesBtirlcs, and tho prices nro hluhor hero than elBowhere. What about your "farms"? The most sniluening ana irritating things I havo ever seen nro somo Coos county "farms." Prom 100 to COO acres and moro. Stretches of won derful rlverbottom landB, herds of Holstelns nnd Jersoys lazily browsing in tho siinshilno on ctnornltl meadows, divided by rippling, silvery creeks and streams, and rtishliiB deepwater riv ers. Tho picture Is entrancing. Dut look yon dor a llttlo. What Is that ugly, hum-drum of groy bonras nna Impassible angles? Tho fnrmhotiBO tho outbuildings! Weill Some 40 or moro yenrs ago tlioso buildings wero put together and It Is a fact that not n single nail has been driven In with nn idea to Improvo or preservo tho structures slnco then. It is a sad dening crime. And whon Is tho or chard? A fow puny trees covered with moss and sick to tho coro and still struggling to bring forth a gold en harvest of fruit! It Is a slu. A farm and orchard like the nbovo In dicated Is tho saddest thing I havo seen around Coos Hay. To sit down content with what tho cow can do on unimproved Coos Hay land, or worse yet, to content one solf with adding to one's fortuno In flgurcs nlono, moro nnd more, only with each succeeding rumor of n railroad Into this country, will not ntono for this unpnrdonablo negli gence.

Whon plo you combine all Interests, aud In plo you cobblnu all Interests, and in order to get this accumulated force you must do tho just and equitable thing.
