When the weather is line in Co­
quille, as it hat been thia week, it is
the ft neat in the world.
Now that the reet o f Oregon ha*
filled it* Victory Loan quota, let’*
peg g the hat and clip in to halp Port­
land out. My, what a bunch of
slacker* they mu»t have up there.
The cable* are going back out of
government control in about a week,
and the rest o f the wire# a* *oon as
Congress acts. No doubt the adminis­
tration frill be glad to let go of them
and o f the railroads too.
The grand chief baker of the Unit­
ed SUtei says that “ no matter how
low tjie price of flour falls, the price
of bread cannot go to the old figure.”
Then we shall hav* to take the aa-
vice o f that French queen and eat
cake.— 0 regonian.
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OUT OF DATE “ ALMANACS”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.”

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.
