Large quantities of alder abound throughout the entire region. This alder is an excellent commodity in the paper manufacturing business; it is easily obtained and it is inex haustible, Where ever the big tim ber is cut away alder grows in dense woods. There are now no paper mills along the Coquille river or on Coos bay, which is the natural sea port. This is an ideal location for a paper manufacturing business Fuel is cheap, almost no price at all, and in many places water can be obtained. The maple that grows here in suoh profusion takes a fine polish and it could be used to great ad vantage as a furniture timber. Myr tle timber, which is very bard and curley, takes a polish that excels oak or walnut in brilliancy. It is fast becoming very valuable as a furniture timber and it will become more valued when it is better known. Laurel is also very good for certain kinds of furniture. Brick is greatly needed through out this entire country. It is lack ing even though these bills are made of the best of clay, and the valley has a great deal of it. This clay is yet uotouched. Good sand can be bad in any quantity on the beacb. No brick, or very little is now made in the Coquille valley or on Coos bay. None of the grow ing little cities has any brick buildings. All of them, Coquille, Bandon-by-the-Sea, Marshfield, North Bond and Myrtle Point, are in need of briik. The man who enters the brick-makiog business anywhere along the Coquille with a determination to stay has bis for tune bnlf won. ^ Wo give the following by Louis E. Eochus, of Coquille, and pub- lished iu a recent issue of the Ore- gon Daily Journal: No undeveloped section of Ore gon bos more coming to it than the 1 oquilla valley, 30 miles loug and in places four miles wide, traversed by the tumultuous but crystal Co quille river and bedded sinuously ainid the verdant mountains of the coast range. Throughout its entire area nature has bestowed riohes with a bounte ous hand. With settlement of the waste places and the coming of the manufacturer wealth will spring from every rood o f earth. 1 he most important product at present is lumber. It is estimated there is about 29,000,000,000 feet of standing timber in Coos county alone, and the greater part o f this is along or »jucent to the Coquille. Most of this fine timber is fir but 1’ort Orford cedar is here in great quantity. There is also a large amount o f spruce along the coast or adjacent to the Coquille river. In the valley and low bill« there are unnumbered thousands of feet of ash, maple, myrtle «nd laurel timber. Over the once burnt over district, which is very large, and over the logged territory, alder is grownig in very dense woods. Thousands of feet o f timber are cut yearly and rafted down the riv er, during the Hood season, when it has enough current to carry the great logs. A sight to remember is that of mammoth fir logs, many of them measuring 10 to 1G feet in diameter ami 50 to 76 feet in length Coal ranks very close to the lum-. her in value, but it may some time excel the latter.

Dominighini yenientjpo.ver on the market, Nela P. Nelson. l Xa A Practical Editor Government Control. We give below a short sketch concerning a former townsman, and which was published in the Indian apolis World, a contemporary of the paper of which Mr. Lawrence is editor. It reads follows: Benjamin F. Lawrence, manag ing editor of the Indianapolis Star, who is to speak before the class in Journalism Wednesday evening, has bad such a wide experience as a practical newspaper man that he is well qualified to tell embryonic editors how to succeed. He was editor and proprietor of a bustling newspaper at Coquille, Oregon, at the age of 19. That was 11 years ago. He learned the busi ness from the ground up, being able to set type and run the press, if oc casion demanded. He was bis own business manager and when he could spare the time be was out soliciting subscriptions, Before be was 21 years of age be was one of the best known “ country editors" in Oregon. He sold bis paper, went to Port land and secured employment on the Portland Oregonian, tho largest and most influential daily of the far northwest. In a little more than four years be had worked his way up from reporter to state editor and then to telegraph and night editor. For more than two years Mr. Lawrence has been managing edi tor of the Indianapolis Star and un der his management that paper has become one of the most powerful and influential publications in the West. Those who are acquainted with him declare that he gets results by keeping an eagle eye on every department under him and personal ly directing the work of the scores of men nud women who contribute to the Star's columns. As a managing editor of a metor- politan pewspaper Mr. Lawrence has occasion to keep in touch with the Indiana University through the work done by Indiana University men who hold positions on the Star. At the present time some of the In- dianna men on the Star are: Louis Ludlow, Washington correspondent James Stuart, Sunday editor; Clar. ence Bulleit and William B. Hall, of the city force; Steele Gilmore, commercial editor; Paul Martin, dramatic editor; and Clarence C. Lyon, staff correspondent. Federal Control o f corporations doing an interstate business, especi ally railroads, is no doubt a phase of centralization, and people are justified in being watchful and sus picious of broad and beep move ments toward centralization. But there must be a change; these cor porations must be controlled in the public interest. That they oanoot be trusted to do business right is past arguing. This may not apply to all large corporations, but it ap plies to enough to make control of them, and especially those of a pub lic nature like railroads, imperative. And along with that control, or as a part of it, there should be such lib erty of co-operation or combination allowed as is good for both the pub lic and the corporations. The idea should be not to oppress or harass the corporations, but to makethem understand nevertheless that the public interest comes first. Mr. Seth Low, in a recent address be fore the National Civic Federation in Chicago, laid down the right principle when he said: The large corporation has demon strated its efficiency and its economy too strongly to leave any room for doubt that, in a country like ours, if the people are to be well served, there must be large combinations in the transportation service, as^else- where. The problem is bow to se cure the benefit of such combina tions without sufiering the evils which they are also capable of de veloping. The only answer that has been suggested, outside of government ownership and operation, is govern ment control: aud that control m g b t to be ao devised as both to permit and to encourage combina tions aud joint agreements between railways whenever these are in the public interest. The two things that are necessary to make such regulation effective are: First of all, a recognition that the railway service to the oountry is really a part of the public service, although it is conducted through private agencies; and, secondly, that the object of governmental control of thb private agencies doing this business is not to limit their activi ties, but to make sure thet all their activittea are conceived, first and last, in the public intnrest..-Daily Journal.
