Marshfleld. Or.. Bept. 20. 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.

(Special to Th JoaroiLt
Eugene, Or., Sept. 20. Granted a
charter from the national college fra
ternity, Delta Tau Delta, and equipped
with one of the handsomest chapter
houses on the Pacific coast, the local
fraternity, Zeta Phi, Is looking forward
to a year of successful organization.
Announcement that the Zeta Phi of
Eugene had been granted a charter
from the national Delta Tsfu Delta has
Just been made. 'The national frater
nity had its inception at Bethany col
lege, Virginia, in 1869. During the 60
odd years since, its organization the
Delta Tau Delta has granted charters
to the leading institutions throughout
the country until, with the official in
stallation of the Oregon chapter during
the autumn, the total number of active
chapters will be E8.
Delta Tau Delta is one of more than
80 national fraternities and was twenty-first
in order of organization. It
ranks seventh in number of chapter
houses owned.
The University of Oregon organiza
tion, which has been granted by this
charter has existed since 1909, but was
reorganized February 20, 1912, as a
local fraternity under the name of Zeta
Phi to petition for the Delta Tau char
ter. In the autumn of 1912 a large
new house was leased adjoining the
university campus and it is one of the
best built and most elegantly finished
structures in Eugene, one of its feat
ures being a sleeping porch large
enough to comfortably accommodate 24
men. The grounds border the Eugene
mill race and are large enough for a
tennis court, garage and canoe house.
Zeta Phi's members have ranked high
In scholarship. In the annual Inter
fraternity track meet this spring the
Zeta Phi team carried off both the cup
offered for the winner of the meet and
the BUI Hayward cup for the one-mile
relay.
The membership of Zeta Phi is as
follows: President Harold W.. Qulgley
of Portland; vice president Albert Ep
perly of Lebanon; Secretary J. Wlllard
Shaver of Portland; Alfred H. Skei of
Monitor; Charles McMillan of Garibal
di; George W. Broadbridge, Henry W.
Heidenrich, Joseph R. Williamson, Low
ell Williamson and Joe Ingle of La
Grande; F. Warren Cozens, Allen O'Con
nell and Vere Wlndnagle of Portland;
Harry L. Martin and Elmer Spencer of
Cottage Grove; Francis Provost of Bay
City; Austin Brownell of Gardiner, ana
Clair Ogle of Woodburn. The alumni
members of Zeta Phi are Francis D.
Curtis. Verner A. Gllles, William Rue-
ter, Leigh M. Huggins. William G. Dun
lap, Carleton B. Spencer and Charles
N. Reynolds.
EXPERTS

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.
