June 18, 1908 ^■■•RUMaaBaateMaBaaaaM T hb Oregon journal says, editori ally: “Sam.tor Allison of Iowa is an intarcstiag figure in that he has beta in Congress longer than any body else, and has always merited a mild degree of respect, but he is no longer a fit representative of a great : tate in these times when people are trying to move forward and up ward." The editor of the Journal, by this remark, exposes his extreme ignorance of facts to a remarkable degree. Senator Allison not only has been but is yet a central figure in all the g:eat moves of national government, and though he is get ting well along in years,*he keeps ..breast with the times and is still looked upon as “the wise man of the senate."

The people of the Co quille valley should be willing to help bv subscribing liberally to the funds which are being raised by the people of Bandon. Some hammer thrower might say that the persons who are interested are owners of vessels and sawmills and should bear the expense of the whole project and not call on the public at large, and that all they want is to build the jetty so they can make more money; that it will do no one any good ex cept the Interested paities. This may be true from their way of look ing at it, but wrong in the minds of the majority of the people who know that this county is dependent on her mills and other industries, and we should all be willing to help it along and not throw stones at it The public-spirited men of Bandon No other city on the Pacific coast are to be congratulated for taking the size of Bandon, and in fact none this step at this time and it will be except those which are considerably one of the best advertisements that larger, hate the present industries Bandon can receive that she has men or the prospects for new ones that who are willing to go down into our little ‘ City-by-the Sea” has their pockets and procure funds to At the present time there are no accomplish something that will bene fit the Coquille valley—it will stamp less than three or four mills and them as men of liberal ideas and factories of different kinds that are hustlers in every sense of the word. contemplating locating in Bandon, The old adage in regard to “God and at least one or two of them are helps those who help themselves” practically assured for this place. will prove true when the City-by-the- Sea puts in petitions to the Congress Bandon is liable to double in popu for appropriations to improve the lation within the next two or three river and bar.

Nothing else is quite so fascinating. Often the bed may be placed with the head toward the window so the patient «jets no glimpse out of it, but if she las a mirror it is all reflected for her. She can catch a sunbeam in the edge of it or count the clouds as they float past.

FOREST ETHICS. Put Out Y«ur Campfir« Youraalf an« Plant a N«w Tra«. • Be sure* to put out your eatnp- fir$ before you abandon it in ihe morning to take up the trail.* Do •ot leai* the task for one of your tnup servants, not even for your guide, whose interest in keeping the woods free of devastating fires, being a matter of bread and butter, is therefore the keenest of any of your camp followers, but who, none the less, is apt to be careless. See to it yourself. Leave no smoldering back log of the night’s “friendly fire.” Leave no smoking coals that have served to broil (60 deliciously) the breakfast trout, for such relics so often are fanned into the tiny flame which, feeding upon nearby leaves or moss or bush twigs, grows within two days to a devouring blaze that consumes acres of forest before its withering touch is stayed. If you are close to a brook use its water tlentifully, and if water is scarce nock the live ends of the larger sticks until not a spark is left and scrape dirt over all the coals—not a few handfuls of dust that the wind may scatter at its first breath, but dirt that will bury and •mother. No doubt my average reader thinks 1 am writing a lot to deliver one small message, but let him con sider that hundreds of acres of for est land, worth thousands, measured by dollars, and of inestimable re sources of the country, are annual ly destroyed from just such insig nificant beginnings as the campfire which was not put out beyond the power of the passing breeze to re suscitate. Therefore the warning appeal cannot be too important since we as a nation are using up from three to four times as much wood every year as the country is producing. Two worthy exhibits of genuine Americanism are, first, not to add to forest destruction by carelessly leaving fire around, and, second, al ways to plant a new tree—young tree—for every one you destroy. And plant it where it will do the most good.—Outing Magazine. Do You Lite to Fi«h? We h«ve diaoovered a fiali bait wbiob ■uakes ’«in bile. One box FICEE of all oliar««.
