Jones) m e d ia t io n i s t h e b io e v e n t The biggest lump of sugar in the government teacup has been fur nished by Argentine, Brazil and Chili— known as the A B. C. medi ators. The offer of these South American countries to use their good offices in adjusting our differ ences with Mexico has been wel comed by Washington. According to the Hague convention, when ‘ ‘ mediation occurs alter the com- mentement of hostilities, it causes no interruption to the military op erations in progress, unless there be atr agreement to the contrary Since the fact has sunk in upon Mexico that the United States does not propose to be trifled with any longer, there has been a noticeable change of front, and the official re lations— though the direct repre seutatives ol the countries have been recalled from Mexico City and Washington, have been ol a more definite and satisfactory nature than heretofore. AMENDING THE "F R E E TOLLS” BILL The free tolls controversy now again rages in the Senate of the United States, and it is significant that the bill is in danger inasmuch as some of the Administration Sen ators have met the objections to a change of the canal act by includ ing the following paragraph in the law which proposes to place the vessels of all nations passing through the canal on an equal loot ing. The proposed amendment reads: "T h e passage of this art, or anything therein contained, shall not be construed as waiving, im pairing, or affecting any rights pos sessed by the United States, under treaty or otherwise." THE FIVE PER CENT INCREASE "UPHOLDING THE PRESIDENT” A good deal of criticism has been visited upon Republican members of the Senate because they sought to frame the form of the resolution defining "our unpleasantness with Mexico." Editors everywhere have been declaring that the hands of the President must be upheld There is no question but what everybody is back of the President, but some of the men in Congress have de dared that while they want to fol low, that they would like to do so with thejr eyes open After a short experience in the Presidency, Gen eral Harrison characterized the White House as ‘‘a fools’ paradise.” Nothing not inteuded tobe pleasing is ever spoken to the occupants by visitors. The "jolly" that is banded out to the President is polished off till it glitters Uuselfish partisan ship ol the rose colored hue, the soft pedal, and easy speech, labeled "re- spect”tothe office,arethings of which the President must ever be on guard. About the only relief the President gets Irom days of gush and soft soap is in the delighiful diversion ot reading the criticisms that appear in opposition newspapers. In Con gress any one who disagrees with any view of the President usually pretaces the remarks by asserting an unusual quantity of respect for the occupant of the White House. It will be recalled that when the tariff bill was in Congress that al though the President did not set himself up as a tariff expert, that the men who framed the measure put the Piesident’s judgement above their own, notwithstanding that they had spent months in calculat ing the schedules. The same was true with the currency measure; while it is assumed that the Presi dent knows all about the anti trust question. Thing are different from what they were when Washington told a land-owner that he should be more respectful, and remember to whom he was talking. "Oh, you never would have amounted to anything it you had not married a rich widow,” was the reply. The Washington monument now stands on land formerly owned by this same man who thus taunted the first President. TOM RICHARDSON TALKS N o te d O r e g o n B oo ster A d d r e s s e s L a r g e M e e tin g and G iv e s M a n y P oin ters on B u ild in g u p th e C o u n try The "booster meeting" held at the court house on Friday eveniug brought an attendance that taxed the seating capacity of the circuit court room, and that the interest iii public questions is not confined to the men was shown by the large number of ladies who were present. The purpose of the gathering was to listen to a talk by Tom Richard son, whose fame as booster has been well establish-. 1 for some years ou this coast. Mayor Morrison presided over the meeting, and he first introduced Dr. James Withycomb.who is in this section in the interest of hts candi dacy for the Republican nomination for governor. Dr. Withycomb talked briefly on the tremedous agricultural possibilities of this part of the state, and made the usual predictions of a great future. He expressed the opinion that these first thing he told the people was, "Life has come too easy to you,” and he here placed his finger on one great fact that accounts for a great deal of the indifference exist ing in this county in the matter of effort for the attraction of new pop ulation. He touched another cause for comparatively slow growth of this section when he said, speaking of the county as a whole, "Y ou haven’t got together and stayed together.” He urged tho necessity of cooperation between the business man and the communi ties ol the whole country in a move ment for the development of the whole "Coos Bay country.” He used the expression "Coos Bay country," merely because the out side world lias been made familiar with this section under that desig nation. He pointed out the fact that, through lack of proper cooper- Red Cross Memorial to Women O f Civil W ar to Be Erected Soon There is evidence that in the case of the Interstate Commerce Com mission granting the request of the railroads for five per cent increase in rates, that there will be nothing short of an explosion in Congress, as a number of Senators who special ize in going after the railroads, threaten to raise hob in case the THE RACE ISSUE Interstate Commerce Commission Robert H.

BAKER MAKES ** Among his practical suggestions was one that advertising matter should be prepared in a form not too heavy or bulky for enclosure in an ordinary letter without increase in the postage requited, and that not a letter of any -hind should go out of Coos county without contain ing a piece of such literature. He said that the success of the Lewis <fe Clark fair was due to just such work, especially on the part of the school children. He urged that such liter ature be prepared, not by the differ ent towns or parts of the count}, but covering the whole county and telling exactly ttto.se things that an intending settler would wish to know, without coloring or exagger ation , . But he bore down heaviest on the necessity of cooperation be tween all the business men and com munities of the county, working to gether as a whole for the develop ment of the whole county, and also working with the people of adjoin ing counties for the boosting of this part of the state. He urged that a central organization be formed for this work and that no time be lost in its inauguration, as the opportun ity presented at this time is the best that was ever given to any cotnmun- "^Mr. Richardson’s talk was well received, and its business-like toue and practical common sense could not but make a strong impressston on his hearers.

K a t ie C o o k Still S o u n d The durability of Port Orford white cedar as a boat building ma teria! has long been known, but the best illustration ot the almost everlasting qualities of this lumber that has come to our notice is seen at Kruse & Banks’ shipyard in the hull of the ancient tug Katie Cook. She was hauled out some weeks ago for an overhauling prior to in spection by prospective purchasers. The Katie Cook was b'uilt on the Coquille 35 years ago, and was leaking so badly that it was impos sible to keep her afloat. Her own ers. Kruse & Banks, naturally thought that they would find her bull honeycombed with rot, but to their amazement they found that her stern post, which was of fir, was the only decayed piece of tim ber in her makeup. Her planking, lining and frames, which are of ce dar were found as firm and solid as the day they entered her construc tion. Some 15 years ago the Cook’s deck was raised about 15 inches and fir was used to butt onto the old cedar cants, this late work was entirely rotted away, but the de cayed parts will be easily subsitu- ted and at a very light expense. Mr. Banks, who has been particu larly amazed at the fine state of preservation that he found the Cook’s hull in after all these years of service, will saw out a small sec tion of one of the frames and lake the sample with him to San Fran cisco, for which point lie leaves shortly, and show it to those who are interested in shipbuilding - The Sun. 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 44 45 68 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 66 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 Empire................. 384.50 Daniel’ s Creek......................267.60 Coquille ......... 3773.00 Marshfield............................ 6002.60 Cunningham.......... ..... 204.00 Parkersburg .............. 535.50 Catching Inlet........ ...............327.50 North Bend.................... .5218.60 Riverton . . ,..... 1166.50 Big Creek.... ......... v ___ __ .202.60 C ooston........................... 451,00 Kentuck Inlet................ 603.00 Flagstaff ___ 313.00 Fat E lk .............................. 306.50 Fishtrap ................................319.60 Randolph................... 606.50 Moon’ s ....................................170.00 L e e .......................................... 404.00 Pleasant Point..................... 249.50 F airview ................................386.00 Haines’ Slough..................... 287.00 McKinley .._................ 508.00 Gravel Ford...........................457.50 Tw o Mile....................... 516.00 Sumner ..................................282.00 Rural .............................. 236.00 Dora ...................................209.00 Bald H ill.............................. 321.00 Catching Creek..................... 269.00 Seaside.................................... 210.60 Elk R ock .................................427.50 Sugar L o a f ............................210.50 Templeton ............... 306.50 Myrtle Grove......................... 366.50 Libby ............... 737.00 Myrtle Point................... 2708.50 Rock Creek............... 223.60 N orw a y........................... 435.00 R o y .......... ........................ 418.50 A llega n y................ 282.00 Neow L a k e ...................... 339.00 Rowland .............................. 318.00 Shiloh...................................... 184.50 Eaatside.............. 1007.00 R e m o te ...................................171.50 U t t e r ............................. 210.50 Myrtle C re e k ....................... 275.50 North Slough......................... 358.50 Bandon............ _ ...................6119.50 Beaver Slough........................145.50 E sterbeck ........................ 197.50 South Slough.........................222.00 241.50 Sunnyside Hall’s Creek ...........................171.50 p r o s p e r ............ - .................. 1281.50 326.00 Bear Creek............................. 241.50 Johnson’s Mill........................347.00 Four Mile .......................... .248.00 Sitkum__________ 282.00 LakeBide ................................ 892.50 Ezcelsior............................. 223.60 Larson Slough........................248.00 Beaver Hill............................. 314.50 Eden Valley............................152.00 Buell......................................... 150.50 ......................... 568.00 Coaledo Pleasant View........................417.00 Pleasant H ill..........................204.00 Locust Grove..........................225.50 ........ 196.00 ...... 725.00 ......... 170.00 .345.50 WeBt N orw ay............. ......... 353.60 ...... 235.00 ......... 313.00 ......... 235.00 ......... 987.50 ......... 269.00 Coos River Forks Joint 2 ......................... ........ 280.50 Total Apportionment, $52,663.50 The amount apportioned for full terms of not less than six months, and for institute attendance is $9250.00.
