and three mllta from the ocean.
From the window of my room I can
look out on .the tranquil water of Ten
Mile lake. If the world at large knew
of Ten Mile lake. North lake, Clear
lake and Eel lake their watera would i
no longer be tranquil and solitary.
Their heavily wooded shores would

and the staccato exhaust of motor
boats or the gay laughter of tourists
and summer vacationists.
Coog county Is rich In natural re
sources. 1 ran Imagine some far-distant
day when her timber will be all
cut, her placer gold washed out, her
coal dug. but ie has one resource
which Is perpetual and that Is her mild
and delightful summer climate and the
beauty of her inland lakes.
Lake Za Explored.
Yesterday, with Ed Smith, the pro
prietor of the Ten Mile hotel, and Jack
Raymond, the owner of the "Joy
Flyer," I went on a trip of exploration
on Ten Mile lake and North lake. Jack
Raymond Is a fair sample of what
Coos county can produce. He Is a na
tive son of Coos county, la 19 years
o'.n, is 6 feet 2 Inches high, weighs
197 pounds and Is lean as a greyhound,
his weight being ail bone and muscle.
His motoiboat, the ''Joy Flyer," can
make -I'a miles an hour, but as I
wanted to see something beside a cloud
of spray he slowed the speed down
to from 12 to 15 miles an hour.
If you decided to take a walk around
Ten Mile lake and North lake to get
uf an appetite for breakfast you
would surely come back with the ap
petite for you would walk 133 miles

Many Xalatat round.
The rays of the atarf ish and the lega
of the lizard will represent the Innu
merable inleta, bays, eatuarya and bay
ous that, in sinuous channels, make the
deeply indented shoreline of the lakes.
The hills rise steeply in places from
the shores of the lakea and everywhere
the almost impenetrable and unbroken
forest of fir and cedar, spruce and
larch, alder and willow, madrona and
J manzanita comes down to the very
edge of the water. We crept through
narrow and tortuous channela where
the trees formed an interlaced arch
way overhead.
We took our way through beds of
water lilies and we followed a natural
canal that led from Ten Mile lake to
North lake. On all sides was beauty
as well as above and below. Near the
8hore the overarching trees were per
fectly reflected in the mirror-like aur
face of the lake. The clouds above
looked down upon their reflections
below.
riahermen Are Faaaad.
We passed a fisherman ' rowing
slowly along shore and the reflections
of the wooded shore and the over
hanging birch and alder danced in wav
ing lines as his boat disturbed the im
aged forest on the water. 1 could not
help thinking of Emerson's lines:
"Thou cans't not wave thy staff In
air.
Or dip thy paddle In the lake.
But It carves the bow of beauty there
And the ripples in rimes the oar for
sake.'' How Thoreau would have loved this
wild western country. A man who
could be inspired by the quiet beauty
of the Concord and the Merrimac
river would surely be in the seventh
heaven of delight here on the pictur
esque rivers and lakes of Coos county.
Thoreau loved the water. "Rivers are
a constant lure when they flow by our
doors," he says, "to distant enterprise
and adventure.
"They are the natural highways of
! all nations, not only leveling the
ground and removing obstacles from
the path of the traveler, quenching his
thirst and bearing him on their bos
oms, but conducting him through the
most interesting scenery, the most
populous portions of the globe and
where the animal and vegetable king
doms attain the greatest perfection."
ZiOTer of ITatare.
Thoreau had what most of us have,
a love of outdoors. "Thete is in my
nature a singular yearning toward ail
wiidness," he says. "We talk of
civilizing the Indian, but that is not
the name for his improvement. By the
wary Independence and aloofness of
his dim forest life he preserves his
Intercourse with his native gods and
is admitted from time to time to a
rare and peculiar society with nature."
To Thoreau the clouds were the
drapery of fairyland and the wooded
hills the temple of Pan.

day's violent windstorm blew sand
Into great aunes across the public
highway near Grand Dalles. Wash.,
where two autrmobiles were stuck,
half buried in sand, for more than
seven hours. The cars were on their
way to Goldendale, Wash., when the
sandstorm, blinding the drivers, half
submerged the machines. Unable to
see the road, the drivers stopped their
cars and the occupants eat huddled
In their seats with their faces cov
ered 50 minutes until the wind abated,
when they shoveled their way out
with a bucket.
Shifting sand In this section causes
much trouble to automobilists. The
road is constantly changing. Great
sand hills shifting on the flat cause
a complete change in the appearance
of the locality every few days.

The Dalles. Or., July 11. "Your
house Is on fire," was the startling
Information Max Vogt, president of
the First National bank, received as
he sat at noon luncheon yesterday.
V.'ith neighbors' assistance all furniture
was removed. The fire was confined
to the roof, but the residence is
watersoaked throughout and damaged
to the extent of several thousand
dollars. Defective electrical wiring
is believed to have started the fire.

""""" glng crew. We were in a lifeboat that
had been washed overboard from some
passing vessel and had drifted ashore.
In lieu of oars we had an Kvinrude
motor. We Jogged along at a leisurely
pace. The clouds were red in the west.
In places their reflections gave the
water a look of being lit by subter
ranean flames. The sun sank into the
ocean, the red in the sky faded and
twilight came, the lake becoming a
silver platter. We stopped by a partly
submerged log. Near the shore was
a fringe of lily pads.
I Hamming Is Heard.
A peculiar droning in the upper air
Bounded like the distant music of bag
pipes or of a swarm of bees. The
sound was caused by the humming of
the wings of the yellow Jay flies.
As twilight deepened into dusk an
other sound mingled with the dron
ing sound of the May flies. It sounded
as though a hundred beaver were slap
ping the water vigorously with their
trowel-like tails, but it was caused uy
dozens and scores of good sized tout
leaping high out of the water to catch
the May flies that flew close to the
surface of the lake.
Oliver and myself got out our fish
ing poles and putting on a yellow May
fly we began whipping the waters near
the lily pads. Splash! Smack! A
big tout Jumped high out of the water
for my fly but missed. The next one
was more successful, or, looking at it
from the trout's viewpoint, more un
successful, and w'as fast on my hook.
Talk about activity. He Jumped high
out of the water when he felt the barb
and tried to shake the hook out of his
mouth, but he was on, hard and fast,
and I soon had him Jumping and danc
ing in the bottom of the boat. For
half an hour Oliver's fly danced dain
tily on the water and when .the silver
lake had turned to ink and we could
no longer see the fly on the surface ot
the water, we turned our boat home
wards. I never saw gamier trout than
the lake trout of Coos county. I never
tasted better ones. Some day Port
land anglers will "discover"' Lakeside,
and Ten Mile lake and North lake
will afford them royal sport.

$mmm Tires
have built up one of the most gigantic industries of a
gigantic time on this bedrock principle of QUALITY.
Steadily by the support of the motoring public the
volume of Firestone sales has gone up up. Note this: A
record of 257 per cent increase in sales for the five years
since we moved into our new, enormous factory
$7,462,581.1 7 in 1910 $25.187,884.33 in 1915
Add to this unprecedented
growth the increase of 38
so far for our 1916 fiscal
year! This, automatically,
brings the cost down down.
Look again at the illustration
note basic fact of Firestone
