One of the most beautiful agricultural districts In Coos county and also one of the richest In productiveness la that which Immedi ately euirounds Norway, the little dairy settlement on the Coqullle river a few miles from Myrtle Point. From this place was produced last year over J00, 000 pounds of butter and 116,000 pounds of cheese which brought into the county over $112,000, and which grave the ranch era of the neighborhood about $100,000 In cash money for their milk and cream, Norway as a town consists of a atore and poatoffice and the McCloskey cream ery together with half a dosen ranch ' homes which center around the place with' their fertile fields extending out in all directions. On the other side of the river is N. W. McDonald's Star creamery where cheese Is manufactured and where a number of ranches center. Norway has several advantages in the way of transportation. It la reached 4y wagon road and Is but half a mile from .the railroad and Is also visited by boats which run from Myrtle Point to Coqullle. ... Much of the milk and cream - Is delivered by the boats. The settle ment on each side of the river Is on a high bluff overlooking a picturesque bend of the Coqullle river. For a small settlement it Is a busy place..' .' The ranchers with their level fields . and fine gracing lands devote : themselves to dairying by the most ad : vaneed methods. It, is distinctively a milk country. ' Cheese Factory la Operation. The McCloskey creamery has quite a reputation as a butter plant, the owner having; last year won the third prise at : the state fair,, and for two previous , years 1 carried . away the first" prise against all other exhibitors of the state. To accommodate patrons who preferred to put 'their milk into cheese Instead of butter a cheese factory has been built in connection with the butter factory and another cheese plant has been built in the Lee district to accommodate farmers inert so uiey wiu noi do cauea upon lo make long drives in rainy season. v .This butter plant last year manu factured 803.000 pounds of butter which sold for approximately $90,000 and brought to the ranchers $82,000 in cash. .The average price paid for butter fat was S3 44 cents. The McDonald Star creamery Is on the opposite side of the river. It was after having; been closed, reopened last year by N. W. McDonald of Portland, who during Trt of the season manufactured 115.000 pounds of cheese. This product - brought to the farmers over $20,000. The McDonald creamery Is located on Itlvervlew farm, owned by B. F. Wyatt, one of the-finest places in the county. It consists of 240 acres, carries a large herd of Jersey cows and a big drove, of : hogs and is equipped with silo and mod ern machinery and has fine barns and largo comfortable residence. It is the same with the other farms of the imme diate neighborhood, v ' Bottom Xands to Be Brained. The people of Norway have formed a drainage district and will spend a large sunt of money in bettering the condi tion or their farms by Installing a more perfect drainage of the bottom lands. Few small settlements In the state can boast,, as can Norway, of a production which makes money for two creameries and distributes annually $100,000 in cash -to the -farmers of the immediate neigh borhood. ( While Coos county produces a large - amount of batter and 'cheese, no part of fhe county Is as rich In dairy products as' this locality. One-fifth of the money which annually goes to the farmers of the entire county for milk and cream is paid out from the Norway creameries.

Announcement that the Zeta Phi of Eugene had been granted a charter from the national Delta Tsfu Delta has Just been made.

EXPERTS LOOK INTO HISTORY FAMOUS OF FRENCH DIAMONDS What Has Become of Two His toric Gems Is Asked Among Paris Jewelers. Paris, Sept. 20, Experts have been indulging In considerable polemics of late as to what has become of certain famous diamonds, one of which Is a celebrated gem said to have been loet by the Duke of Burgundy wheh he was killed in the Battle of Nancy. The other is an equally famous diamond worn by Charles the Bold, at the Batt.i of Graussen. The former, according to tradition, was picked y on the battle field by a soldier, who afterwards sold it for two French livres. at Nancy, but its subsequent history Is not known. The other was also picked up on the battlefield by a Swiss soldier, and was sold to a priest for a florin. This dia mond. It Is said, is the famous Sancy diamond, which Is still or, at least, till very recently was the property of th Russian woman, Prlucess Paul Deml doff. - -; Banoy Diamond's History. M. E. Moreau, In a special article In the Llberte. shows that the priest who bought it from, the Swiss soldier for one florin sold it afterwards Jor two'florlus. It was lost sight, of for some time.; but turned up again in 1589, when It was in the possession of Antony, the Prior of Crato, who gave it as a pledge to Harlay de Suncy, treasurer-general of France, after whom it finally came to be named. Sancy purchased the dia mond from the prior for th sum of 100,000 Tournols livres. It remained in the family until Henry III of Franco asked to borrow it, to give it as a pledge for a corps of Swiss mercenaries that was to be formed. The servant entrusted with It disappeared, and for a long time It was not known what had become of him. It was discovered at last that he had ben murdered, but ueiore me rooDers Killed mm ne nea had time to swallow the diamond. T.ie body was unearthed, and the diamond was found Intact and restored to the Sancy family. Later on Baron de Sancy, Ambassador of France, ..disposed of It to James II of England, who in turn pold it to Louis XIV, when he was an exile at St. Germain, for 625,000 French llvrea. During the revolution It was stolen, but recovered, and sold for 600,000 silver roubles. This is the first time, It seems, that the Sancy diamond has been identified as the diamond worn in his helmet by Charles the Bold at the bat tle of Graussen.
