Llko the others, I, too, havo been guilty of abusing poor, old Coos Hay because of tho rainfall, but I havo paused and begin to feel like offer inn an apology. It was this way. This morning I was expressing mysolf in the usual manner about our climate nnd par ticularly about tho winter rains In tho prcsenco of ono of our esteemed "boosters", viz. J. Albert Matson. I had Just remnrkod that 1 had como to bcllovo that In the cntlro unlverso there Is no place with a moro abom innblo cllmato than Cooa Day. I was Interrupted as follows: "Yes, this cllmato Is tho limit. When ono thinks of tho great num ber of deaths of our peoplo through freezing, It Is appalling. When ho thinks again of tho great amount of property destroyed by floods, It is disconcerting. When ho thinks of tho lives and property destroyed by lightning, It Is horrible When ho thinks ngaln of the great number of tornadoes that como to wreck Coos Hay on'd hor fair cities. It Is with fear and trombllng. When ho re mombora that our peoplo do hnve 1ft grlppo hero occasionally, it is nw ful. Yes, this Coos riay cllmato is' tho limit." I paused for an answor but had nono, for his nrgument was nnd Is unanswerable. Wo havo our rains but wo don't havo tho things ho men tioned and thpy do hnvo nil theco In other less fortunate places. It Is tlmo that wo all talk our cll mato to our friends who live In less pleasant climates.

Smith Lumber company constructed a mill at this placo, Marshfleld practically speak ing, consisted of a few houses with muddy streets running between them. Practically speaking, tho cntlro upbuilding of this city Is to bo credited to tho lumbor Industry. Tho public Is asking for more( industrial enterprises and tho( Marshfleld Chamber of Commerce, has spent considerable money and effort In trying to pcrsuado par tics to avail themselves of the op portunities that tho wood resources; of this district offer for industrial purposes. No ono can dony thnt( at tho present tlmo our lumber Is our main and only dependable Blip-' port, In tho faco of all this it Is romarkablo to wltnoss tho obstruc Hon placed In tho way of any In dustry In Marshfleld that is con-, ti'lbutlng several thousand dollars' a month to the commcrco of tho city. i I refer to McDonald & Condron's, logging operations. I havo no per gonal Interest In this matter but, tho treatment that they havo re-' eolved from tho City of Marshfleld Is short sighted and petty. They aro doing somo damago to tho streets, but without tho lumbor industries tho streets would not havo been posslblo In tho first place. It is estimated that approximately fi, 000,000 foot of lumber will bo taken out by McDonald & Condron. , l)y tho tlmo this lumber Is loaded! on n Bteamor for tho market It will cost $!). 00 per thousand or $-15,000 will bo distributed In tho community us, Uiq.resMJptlyj cijtprurlso.

There Is no doubt that every country In Europo Is nnxlous to end tho strug gle but each ono does not wish to mako tho proposal fearing It will bo tnkon as n confession of weaknoss. In tho mattor of financial consid eration iilouo thero Is not u nation that.lB not growing weary of tho Ptruggle. Tlio cost of tho war Is proving something colossal. Tho oxport economists figuring up on It ovor thoro put tho dally ox-pi-nso nt $70,000,000. Noiimnrch, tho French authority, calls It $73, 000,000 dally. This Includes only tho linniedato outgo. Franco Is now expending GO0,O00.O00 a month, Groat Hrltaln $000,000,000, Hussla $400,000,000. Tho cost to Germany Is $18,000,000 dully, and this does not take lu the advances made to Austrla-Hungar) Bulgaria nnd Turkey. Hack of this are the wnr loans to which tho fighting nations lmvo ob ligated thoniBolvos. As totaled up to tho end of October lust, those were moro than $'-M, tOO, 000,000. Tho ul IIcb raised $H,ti0O,0Ou nnd the Aus-tro-Gormans $3,821,000,000. Tho amount raised lu tho United Suites was $002,000,000. But even tho nhovo (loon not tell tho wholo Htory. It doos not taUo account of tho destruction of tua or dinary earning powor of a peoplo. Tho warring nations nro not merely Bpondlng money at a fierce pace hut thoy are not making money, it Ih al going out nnd nothing coming n, considered from u national stand point. How long can tho warring nations keep going without fneliiB financial exhaiiHtlon?
