RED CROSS
STAMPS ONSALE
Money Realized From Stamps
In Five Years Has Reached
Enormous Sum.
The Progress Chili and A. X. W.
-...in iiniu3iiiK i a inrge num
ber of Rod Cross stamps on Coos
Bay this year to aid in raising funds
to wage the fight against tuber
culosis. There promises to bo more
sold tills season than ever before.
151 1
It Is pointed out that tho sale of
the stamps not only raises funds
for Immediate nld but the stamps
arouse public sentiment to greater
precautions In preventing the fur
ther spread of the disease.
Nearly $ I, '.00, 000 ban been rais
ed by Red Cross Christmas seals in
tho liiBt five years, and yet many
people do not know how this char
ily stamp Idea originated.
Some of your grandmothers first
played "postoffico" with stickers
similar to Red Cross seals 'way
back In ISG2, when they conceived
the Idea of soiling stamps at fairs
for tho benefit of the relief funds
Tor the soldiers' hospitals la Drook
lyn, Hoston and elsewhere. Nearly
$1,000,000 was raised In this way
beforo 180fi.
There are now thousands of dif
ferent types of ehnrlty stamps used
in all parts of tho world, as many
as forty being used In Aimtrla for
children's hospitals alone.
htamps or seals wero first used
to got money for tho nntl-tuborcu-losls
crusade In Norway and Swo
llen In 1904. To Jacob Itlls, tho
well-known social worker of Now
York, and to Miss Emily P. Blssell,
tho enorgetlc secretary of tho Doln
wnro Red Cross, jointly belong tho
honor of originating our American
Red Cross Christmas seal. In 100!)
Mr. Rlls' Interest was aroused by
tho recept of a letter from Norway.
He published an nrtlclo about tho
queer-looking stamp In tho "Out
look" and suggested some posslblo
uses for It In this country. Miss
lilssoll nt once saw an opportunity
hero and prepared a stamp, from
the salo of which her society real
ized $11000 for tuborculosls work.
So Impressed was sho with this suc
cess that slin Induced the American
Red Cross to take up the sale In
1008 on n National basis. With very
Uttlo organization nnd hardly
any attempt at careful advertising,
I tho snlo that year brought In, nev
ertheless, over $ Kin, 000 for nntl
I tuberculosis work In various parts
of tho United States. In 1000. with
more thorough organization, tho
sale was Increased to $2.10,000; in
1010 to nearly $.110,000; In 1011
to over $11.10,000 and over ! 0,000,
000 seals, netting $100,000 were
sold last year,

likely to bo encountered on the

III BAD PLIGHT
Former Coos Bay Man on
Barge Frederick, Laden With
Dynamite (When Wrecked'
Capt. Sovorson, formerly of t e tug
Powers, and well known in Marsh
field and Bunker Hill, had a narrow
escape In tho recent nccltleut to tho
bargo Frederick, of which ho Is mas
ter. A dispatch from Newport, Or.,
Blves the following particulars;
Tho barge Frederick, owned by
Porter Bros., Portland contractors, In
tow of the tugboat L. Roscoo of Flor
ence and laden with 80 tons of oats,
0 tons of hay and CO tons of dynn
mlto struck tho north Jetty nt tho
ontrnnco to Ynqulna Bay, tearing her
hull, and now lies on the bench at
Olsonvllle.
Capt. A. Erickson, master of the
Roscoo, said that his boat did not
hnve sufficient power to combat tho
strong southerly wind and current,
which drove tho bargo from her
course onto tho Jetty. After tibo
barge struck, Capt. Erickson fortun
ately was able to pull tho craft free,
and as there wero flvo feet of water
In the bold he benched Mm Imrcrn In
a.snfo place and commenced dis
charging tho damaged cargo at low
tide.
Capt. Soverson nnd a sailor wero
on tho deck of the bnrgo when It
struck, and thoro was much fear that
tho pounding, which lasted about ten
minutes, might explode the dynamite.
Tho damage to cargo and hull Is
roughly estimated at $5000 nnd tho
cargo was not Insured.
The shipment was from Ynqulnn
for Gardiner and Florence, whero
Porter Bros, nre constructing a rail
road eventually to connect tho Cooa
Bay country with tho Willamette, val
ley at Eugene.

I WOMAN SUFFRAGE A SUCCESS
Editor Times;
A little while nco wo wero regaled
with yawn like this; that tho women
didn't want to vote; that they would
take no Interest in politics; that It
was wrong to forco tho ballot on
them; thnt they would bo Insulted at
tho polls; thnt the right of suffrage
was exclusively buck; that soctoty was
like n herd of oik attacked on a frosty
morning by a pack of wolves, bulls
outside, horns lown, tails up, with
women, children, Imbeciles and sick
people Inside.
But subsequent events have already
shown how baseless theso alloged ar
guments wero.
Nowhere has any woman boon In
sulted nt tho polls. Everywhere they
liuvo taken as much interest in pub
lic questions and elections as men and
in some cases more. In recall elec
tions, both In Clackamas and Hood
River counties, n wall has been reg
istered and it Is alloged that tne
women nut a few tricks over, be-
cause tho men wore "too busy to ro
to the polls."
The plain truth pronauiy is me
men took no Interest In public mat
ters.
Plnclncr tho ballot In tho hands of,
tho women has already had and, will
hnve n tendency to Induce everyone
to take a greater Interest In mattera
of stato, which is something greatly
to bo desired.
As lonir as all tho nooplo take an
active Interest In politics tho ship
or state will sail along on oven keel,
but tho moment she becomes becalm
ed and apathy and noglecr prevail,
then bowaro, liownro.
Eternal vlgllanco on the part of ail
Is tho prlco of good government In
this country.

nnd an advocate thereof In a small
way, results are Indeed gratifying.
