DURHAM Jeweler ENTERPRISE) OREGON Expert Watch Doctor GOLD PLATING ENGRAVING The Caralval association organized to hold a carnival on Coos Bay Aug. 15, expects to spend 40oo preparing for the event. The cities will be dec orated and much money will be ex pended in electrical illumination. The money to defray the expenses Is be ing raised by subscription from the business men. Extensive improvements and addi tions are being made at the state fair grounds. Foremost among the new buildings, as far as genuine worth to the Oregon farmer is con cerned, are the model dairy barn and model mllkhouse, now in the course of construction. Converting logged-over land inf grailng tracts is a solution of mak ing use of the vast areas In Coos county left by the leceers aftPr th. timber is removed. Several exoeri- ments In this line have been carried , with the result that there I. nn doubt about the rough logged-ofT land being some day extensively used range for cattle and sheep. If two proposed amendment in the constitution referred to the peo- ie oy resolution of the lectslarnr. are adopted, the legislature will have tne power either to provide for ex emption of Intangible personalty, or tax it specifically In a manner ro. sonable and collectible." caM q..

A Beautiful Lake. rerhnps the most striking Instance to be seen In (he whole world of the wonderful apparent roloriug of bodies of water In the marvelnusly bountiful Blue 'lake In Switzerland. Encom passed on all sides by lofty mountiiin. their lower ranges luxuriantly clothed with verdure down to the edge of the water and adorned with many fine for est trees, while their uljclipr Hcclivliles are garbed in a mantle of eternal know, the little lake, nestling In Its deep hol low basin and protected from winds and storms. Is quite startling iu Km singular and strange beauty. The water, although really pure and color less, appears to te of a most vivid and Intense sky blue. And its transparency is so remarkable that a small nickel coin dropped into the water In I be center of the luke can be seen gyrat ing downward until it reaches the bot tom, apparently more than a hundred feet beneath. Going Round th World. In sailing around the world east ward the days are each a III tie leuz tbuo Iweuty-four hours, according to the speed of the ship, as the kuii In met a little earlier every uioruing These little differences added together will amount to twenty-four hours This gives the sailors 'au extra duy- not lu Imagination, but as an actual fact They will have done an extra day's work, eaten au extra day's ratiou of food aud Imbilied au extra day's ul Iowa nee of grog. On the other hand. In sailing west ward the sun is overtaken a little each day, and so eacb day Is rather longer than twenty-four hours, aud clocks and watches are found to be too fast This also will amount lu sailing u round the world to the polut of departure to one whole day by which the reckoning has fallen In arrears. The eastern bound ship, then, has gained a day. and the western bound ship baa lost one. This strange fact, clearly work ed out leads to the apparent paradox that the first oamed ship bas a gain of two whole days over the latter. If we suppose them to have departed from port and returued together. I'ulludel pbia Itecord. Modern Gold Mining. Up until about 1850 only placer or surface gold was mined that is, free gold, deposited In the beds of streams, lo sands aud to the crevices of rocks. Placer mining, mainly In new'uud re mote regions, still furnishes a material though not a large percentage of the world's output. Formerly the alluvial gold was separated from the saudx and gravels containing It by washing them iu pans, cradles, rockers aud sluices. In 1852 the hydraulic method was first employed iu Califorolu. By this nieaus a "giant" stream of water j turued against the side of a mountain I washes everytblug before It. The gold settles to the bottom of the tunnel or sluice through wblcb the gravel, saud and water Bow. In 1889 dredges or excavators were first used in AuRtra j Ua. Today steam and electric dredges ' produce a considerable portion of the J world's output.-Byron W. Holt in Ev- erybody's. ftm WHITB FRONT Livery, Feed and Sale Stable J R. L..

After causing the loss of three lives and destroying 3,000,000 feet ef Um ber and machinery valued at 15000, the Santlam forest Are is under con trol. It was checked by the digging of five miles of trenches which pre vented further' spread of the flames among the humus covering of the soil. The fire started on July 19, near Hoo ver, on the Corvallls ft Eastern rail road, and Is said to have been the re sult of carelessness on the part of em ployes of the Hoover Lumber com pany, which is the greatest loser.
