There it still snothsr alternative. The treat majority of housewives still have to bake their own bread. There must be millions of dollars wasted in thia country every year in futile efforts to influence the press by addressing to the editors argumenta tive and informative communications on almost every subject under the aun. The Average editor has some thing elae to do besides reading this stuff— which would be a physical im possibility even if he devoted all his tims to it and could get along with out sleeping or eating. A Selem press dispatch o f last Tuesday says that the state supreme court sustained the demurrer by At torney General Brown to the man damus action brought by the Califor nia liquor interests to compel the at torney general to draft a ballot title for the referendum measure to refer to the people the legislature’s ap proval of the federfl prohibition amendment. The referendum cannot now be placed on the ballot. Let us not forget that we have been again “ bought with a price’’ and that “ without the shedding o f blood them can be no remission o f sins.” Our peace and safety, our opportunity to go on living, oer sheltered', happy lives, have been bought with the blood of millions of men and tens o f thous- ends of our own Americans, shed on the battlefields of France. The sins of the old order or arbitrary rule and of the unpaid toil of the millions who have slaved that the hundreds might live softly, have been remitted (sent away) by the shedding of oceans ot blood. With the League o f Nations to enforce peace a new day is dawn ing and, let us hope, a new world wherein dwelleth righteousness. The old order is dying; the «tew order is beginning. We have put our hands to the plow, let there be no turning back. OUT OF DATE “ ALMANACS” The receipt of a copy o f the Ore gon Almanac for the present year im pels us to say that the state isn’t get ting its money’s worth in this publica tion now. It is issued to furnish in formation about the state to “ home- seekers, settlers and investors.” There used to be some attempt to keep this publication up-to-date, but due to the engrossing nature of other public duties in war and reconstruction ttmea it is being allowed to go to seed. We used to be asked to furnish timely information about Coquille for this publication but we note that this year the same old stuff goes with little or no attempt at a revision. For instance in the list o f towns in Coos county no mention is made of Powers, though we are astonished to learn that “ Etelka,” nineteen miles south o f Myrtle Point has a graded public school and that Myrtle Point is its nearest railroad station. We read, too, that Coquille is on the line o f the “ Coos Bay, Rose burg A East ern Railroad A Navigation Company." Five years ago this was true but an Almanac that far behind the times is considerably out of date. Under “ Bandon” we learn that there are two weekly and one semi-weekly newspaper published there, which is two p t p in too many. Coquille is also credited with two papers. Notwithstanding the removal o f the machinery from the Marshfield pulp mill we learn that . . one of the industries o f the county At the same time the only ref we find to the big shipbuilding dustry of the county is the mild stete- it that “ boat building is also important industry.” On* might look hi this for some word in reference to what Coo* county has don* in tha various Liberty Loan drive#, and other war work, as wall as about the men who it out o f the county during the World war; but it w*a so much easier to reprint old stuff put in typo five years ago that one will look in vain. The assessed value of taxable property and other statistics are giv en for “1914,” and yat this is sup- posed to be i 1919 Atman**. Of course, Coo# county doss not stand alone in thee* antiquated statis tics. Indeed, we find that even for Portland and Multnomah county the tax statistics bear tha “ 1914” brand. ilf this Almanac is to serve a useful purpose it ought to be edited each year, instead af only ones in five years. Our suggestion is that the old plates of this work be melted up before another edition is issued and that none but figures for the current year be “ passed by the censor.” FRIDAY, H AT X 1*1». interested in irrigation, shall voto for tha Roosevelt Highway bond issue of 62,600,000, which manas' sé much to O f eoufte, it ia help will be given to a large of'dra'n eg* districts ia western Ore gon as there ara estima tad to be 4,- 000,000 scree o f land needing drainage in this section to only 6,000,0000 acres susceptible o f irrigation in East ern Oregon. These measures ate cap able of doing so much for the devel opment and welfare o f the state that the vote in the house at Salem was absolutely unanimous for the ir rigation and drainage act. We in the coast section find that much o f our richest land requires drainage, and that is especially tha case in tha neighborhood o f Coquillo. So we an ticipate a pretty nearly unanimous vota for these two measures in our section, for certainly the Roosevelt Highway project is regarded as abso lutely essential by all our people.
