LA S T F R I D A Y ’ S B A L L GAME. Coquille Loses to Myrtle Point by a Score of 18 to 3 — An Easy Victory— Large Crowd Present Coquille Orange Meets. The Coquille Grange held its regular meeting Saturday. The morning session was taken up with tbe regular routiue work and three delegates were elected to attend a convention to be held at Bandon, March 5th, at which time delegates to the State Grange will be chosen. After a bo mteous dinner, which took up the noon hour, the Grange came to order, and after some un finished business was disposed of the Grange was turned over to the Worthy Lecturer and we listened to a very able talk from Past Master of Myrtle Grange, Price Robinson, who, with his wile, was in attend ance, and by the way, it is very en couraging to have members of Myr.le Grange turn out to our meetings as they do, and we hope that their numbers may increase. Some of our own members seem to think that they are to busy to come or that they are not needed, which is very bad for the Grange. To make it a success we must have an attendance and tbe farmers should remember that the Grange is ot vital interest to them, so let them help make it a success. Tbe Grange will meet again on Saturday, Feb. 26th, for the pur pose of initiating several new mem bers. W H EN D A N G ER THREATENS Millions at Stake— The Wca'th That Might be OthS— This Strikes Every Home. although the quality may be in ferior to that of the old forest re moved now, timber scarcity will make a second cut in 60 years equally profitable per acre. There fore, if the area denuded anuually, at present were encouraged to re forest and protected, it should at the end of that period again yield $165,000,000 to the community. Each year’s growth at present timber and piles in less. It is reasonable to suppose that would be worth a sixtieth of that sum, or $2,755,000. If given any chance to do so, the area deforested in only ten years, although it would be logical to go back still farther, would actually earn the people of our five western forest states $27,- 550,000 a year. Almost nothing is being done to make it do so. As the result of the same popular neglect, this annual loss of nearly twenty-eight millions of dollars is added to that of forty millious caused by destruction of merchantable timber. Nor is this by any means all. Injury to tbe lorests directly affects the stream flow which makes agriculture pos sible and more and more furnishes the power tor our industries. By diminishing a taxable resource, it increases the burden upon other property. By reducing forest ma terial, it raises the cost of forest products without raising any profit to be distributed, hence increases tbe expense of every one who uses wood to build his house, fence his farm, timber bis mine, box his goods or burn for luel. By reduc. iug tbe lumber traffic which helps support tbe railroads, and increas ing their expense for poles, ties, and car material, it adds to the cost ot evety commodity transported. These are dangers as real and im mediate as riot or invasion, equally measurably in losses to us today and more far reaching in their effect upon future prosperity. Although less sensational, they demand no less prompt action. Another dry season will soon be here. Millions upon millions of dollars which you aud your family should share will vanish, leaving nothing more enduring than a pall of smoke from Canada to the Mexi can line. Almost daily the news papers will chronicle fire losses which would endow a hospital or a university, or pay your taxes for a life time, and still say nothing of the direct consequences to the water supply, to the young growth upon which the future forest de pends, and to countless dependent industries. Tbe only stay to this destruction will be a few hundred rangers paid by the National Government to do for us in limited localities what we will not do ourselves, a slate fire warden or two without money or support, and a few bands of asso ciated timber owners struggling single handed to save their com paratively small share of this re source of the whole west. Not even they will try to save the \ oung growth, not quite merchantable, bat equal'y valuable to us, for as long as it is subject to our discourag ing system of taking non-produc tive, burned or cut-over land, it does not warrant the added expense of protection. You, Mr. Average Citizen, are re sponsible for this situation and its remedy. Merely to agree that it is unfortunate, and virtuously con demn fire bugs, careless lumbermen and indifferent legislators, don’t re lieve you of the responsibility. Nor will it protect you from the consequences. The fire bug won’t fire if he has any evidence that it will not be tolerated. The lumber« man can adopt protective methods if you encourage him. The legis lator is glad to help in any way hie constituents endorse. They are all only waiting for a word from you whose interest is really at stake and from whom the word should come.
