CM PRODUCE BUTTER MI CHEAPER
When we stop to consider the ad
vantages in dairying that are to be
had in southwestern Oregon, over
that of any other place in the
United States we are not surprised
at the rapid strides that are being
made in that direction, but there
should be even a greater increa e
in the industry than has been in
evidence in the past-
While there has been a constant
growth along this line, yet at the
present time the average daii y
farm in Coos and Curry counties
keep, only, from twenty five to
forty cows, on from 200 to 300 acres.
An average of about six acres to
one cow. This land is as productive
as any soil in the United States and
it is due almost wholly to our
methods, that we are not keeping
six cows on six acres instead of one.
In the middle West, milking cows
fur a profit is a business and is
handled as such.
1'he average
dairyman knows what each cow in
his herd is making and approxi
mately what it costs to feed that *n-
dividual cow. At the end of a
year’s work he can tell what p ofit
each cow has made and is therefore
in a position to weed out the rela
tively unprofitable cows and re
place them with better ones, and
the result is to be seen in the in
creased annual production of butter
fat in what are known as dairy
states’
The Oregon cow is coming to be
an important factor in the economic
development of our vast resources
and in order for her to hold her
place, dairymen must fall fn line
and, by the introduction of silos,
forage crops, winter milking and
systematic methods give her an
opportunity to show- what sh can
do-
If these methods are followed up
lor one single year, there will be
such an awakening in the dairy bus
iness her^that we will even surprise
ourselves at the profits to be obtain

Pound Notice
The large warehouse of the North
Bend city dock and the warehouse
of the North Bend Sash and Door
Factory, the two in reality being
one building was totally destroyed
by fire Friday night. The loss was
between $75,000 and $100,000 and
not a cent of insurance.
It is di
vided between a large number, the
full list of losers not being obtain
able.
The origin or cause of the fire is
unknown.
There are
varions
theories one being that it w as due
to spontaneous combustion, another
*0 the electric wiring and still
another that it might be incendiary.
Little confidence is placed in the
latter, though.
Owing to the tact
that there had not even been a fire
started in a stove in the building for
two or three days, complete mystery
envelopes the origin.
Following are among the losses:
North Bend Sash and Door Fac
tory, finished output

doors, mouldings, paint, oil anJ
stock, over $30,000.
Simpson
Lumber
Company,
building and goods stored, over $10,
000.
Coos Bay Grocery Company,
goods, etc,, over $2.500.
Tom B. James lost heavily, an
estimate being impossible to obtain
owing to the absence of Mr. James
being in Portland,
on the Alliance Monday.
North Bend Hardware Company,
stock amounting to several hundred
dollars.
City of Coquille, sixty sections of
treated water piping.
North Bend Mercantile Company,
stock valued at over $r,ooo.
R. D. Hume estate, about fifty
tons of merchandise supplies, etc.
Estimate of value not obtainable.
