In general there are 17,702 acres of tillable land in the county, and 570,841 acres of non-tillable. The value of the former is at present $201,302, of the latter, $1,316,287. There are 39 miles of railroad track in the county, 417 miles of tele phone and telegraph lines, $23,978 worth of farm machinery nnd other property equalling a total of $3,335, 590 assessable property for the county. There are 2,028 head of mules and horses, 13,882 head of cattle,' 8,851 head of sheep and goats and 2,672 hogs. The dairy industry is in a flour ishing condition. There are three creameries situated at Coquille, two at Norway, one at Riverton, one at Bridge, one at Gravel Ford, one on the South Fork, one at Myrtle Point and one at Marsh field. A number of factories have been started for the manufacture of tim ber products. There is a match factory at Bandon and two broom handle plants. These have a ca pacity of 6,000 handles a day, which are shipped chiefly to San Francis co. There are still vast quantities of standing timber in the county and this for some years to come will form its greatest asset. Many tim ber claims have been taken during the past year and but few are left. There are two shingle factories lo cated in the Fishtrap country, five miles southeast of Coquille City. There is an abundant field for out side capital iu the establishment of these and similar plants. COUNTY RICH IN COAL. Coal has been found iu consider able quantities both in veins and and along the surface. There are three mines in the county, the pro ducts of which are shipped to San Francisco. The mines are located at Libby, Beaver Hill and Riverton. They hove a combined enpaeity of 1,000 tons per day. Four salmon canneries are locat ed in the county and annually dis pose of a good catch. These are situated at Bandon, Parkersburg, Empire, and Marshfield The Coos Bay, Roseburg A East ern Railroad, running between Marshfield and Myrtle Point, a dis tance of 28 miles, is the only line at present located in the county. The road cost $600,000 and was built by Contractor R. A. Graham in the years 1891 to 1895. It is owned by the Spreckles syndicate of San Francisco. The agricultural resources o f the county, though but scantily devel oped, Lave already proven a source oi considerable wealth. Prodigious yields of all grains are harvested from fertile fields. Oats have yield ed 107 bushels to the acre. Barley also gives exceptional yields. But little corn is grown. The soil is too rich for alfalfa. The cranberry in dustry has been started on the sloughs around Coos Bay, and this industry promises great results. Clover, timothy and other grasses grow luxuriantly. Big yields of apples, pears and other Northern fruits flourish. The county will make a large ex hibit of home products, among which will be drtseed lumber and specimens of native coal, at the coming Lewis and Clark Exposi tion. the first of a series. He has resid ed at Bandon for 12 years. The county superintendent, W. H. Bunch, has filled his place so well that for the .fourth time he is serv ing the educational interests of the county. 8. B. Cathcart has for 18 years acted as county surveyor, and if there is a foot of Coos county- ground that he would notrecoguize with his eyes shut, most of bis frieuds are deceived. J. B. Dulley, as treasurer, has impressed his constituents as a wise and careful officer, The commissioners are R. C. Dement of Myrtle Point, a stock man of wealth and resident of the county for 45 years; Donald McIn tosh, a pioneer dairyman of the county and superintendent of the co-operative creamery. The city officers are: A. J. Sher- w pod, mayor, serving most satis factorily his second term; E. G. D. Holden, recorder; 11. S. Knowlton, treasurer. The council is composed of L. Harlocker, J. J. Stanley, B. H. Burns, G. O. Leach, D. A. Johnson and one vacant place un filled. TOWN LIGHTED BY ELECTRICITY. The electric light plant is a mod ern and efficient one, and the wat er works plant, owned by the city, cost $20,000 and has saved that much property under the efficient work of the volunteer fire depart ment. The churches of the city are: M. E. church, South, Rev. R. A. Rea gan, pastor; Methodist Episcopal, W. II. Myers, pastor; Seventh Day Adventist, no regular pastor; Pres byterian, Rev. Adolph Haberly, pastor; Christian, Rov. J. J. Hand- saker, pastor; Episcopal, Rev. Wm. Horsfall; Church of Redeemed Israel, no regular minister. The public schools of Coquille are umler good mauagement and provide for a thorough conrse in elomentarv education. The princi pal in charge is E. H. Anderson. The teachers are: Lizzie Bridges, Icy March, Belle Rich, Fanny Get ty, and Graco Bridges. The build ing is a six-room one, heated by furnace with improved ventilation and fixtures. Two additional rooms are needed and will probab ly be soon added to accommodate the increasingly large attendance. The Coquille Ice & Cold Storage Company transacts a considerable business and is constantly improv ing its plant and widening it* field. There is a great opportunity for other such institutions in this field, and outside capital will prop- ably be induced to enter. The Coos County Academy has a building of five rooms with a chap el. There were fifty enrolled students last year with three teach ers. The following lodges are repre sented in the city: Masonic, Knights of Pythias, Woodmen of the World, Eastern Star, llcbecoas, Ancient Order of United Workmen, Fra ternal Aid, Women of Woodcraft, Degree of Honor, Rathbone Sisters, and Odd Fellows. In relation to other county towns the population of Coquille is about I, 300 people. One of the leading business firms of Coquille City is the Wilson Jew elry Company. This concern car ries a large and stylish line of ‘silverware, clocks, jewelry and musical instruments. Special at tention is given to the fitting of eye glasses. The Pacific Furniture & Lumber Company has recently purchased the large saw mill, which formerly belonged to the Lyons estate. The mill will cut 40,000 feet ot lumber per day, which will be shipped to Los Angeles. W. T. Kerr is man ager of the mill. The First National Bank is a new corporation that in August purchased the stock of the old Co- quille Valley bank. It has a capi tal stock of $25,000 and is building up a large banking business as it ia THE COUNTY SEAT. the only institution of its kind in Coquille is the county seat of the city.

Ackerman had a narrow escape from serious injury on Saturday night while on his way from Dallas to Salem. The road a portion of the way is narrow and winds through and around the kills be tween Eola and Salem. It has re cently been graveled and improv ed, but is barley wide enough for a team to travel on it. When Mr. Ackerman reached this portion of the road darkness had fallen. The team overtook another rig and at tempted to pass, when the buggy capsized, throwing the driver down the embankment, while Mr. Acker man was caught in the top of the buggy. Fortunately the driver re. tained the lines, and though drag ged a short distant was able to stop the team. The only damage done was a severe bruising on the bodies of both Mr. Ackerman and the driv er and the thorough covering of their clothing with mud. Mr. Ack erman was able to come to this city, and after a couple of days’ confine ment following the severe shakeing up received will be able to go to Eastern Oregon, though he will not be in Hhape to take the stage trips to interior towns as he had planned. Had the team not been thorough ly under controld when the buggy capsized Mr. Ackerman would doubtless have been dragged to death by the horses, for the roal is rocky, crooked and narrow and he was so wedged in as. to make escape almost impossible. About 45,000 Americans have im migrated into Western Canada this year. They are nearly all Western farmers. Colonel Henry Wallerson has a violent attack of canalphobia, which has withdrawn his attention from the smart set. It is to be hoped that Colorado’s coal miners’ strike will not cause as much suffering as last year’s East ern strike did. T h e la t e s t in MILLINERY a t M r s . C . L .
