The Journal sums up the Coos county exhibit as follows: One o f the exhibits that attracted great attention is that from Coos county, which hitherto has not been represented at the fair because o f a lack of railroad transportation. The coast county has a display o f which it may well feel proud. Besides numer ous agricultural products, which in clude cranberries, corn, potatoes, ap ples and many other fruits and veget ables, attention is called to dairy pro ducts. The articles made o f myrtle wood are admired by throngs all day. Attention is called by the county to the fact that 1,500,000 pounds of cheese is made annually in Coos county.

Calls It a Vice “ The vice in the bill is this: It al lows a brewer, by his duly authorized agents (of which there may be a dozen in a town) to sell in original packages a pint or quart o f beer at one time, which, necessarily, under the amend ment, would allow the same customer to come to the same place 28 consecu- tive times in 28 consecutive days to drink 24 quarts o f beer. That such places would become public nuisances for some time after the law goes into effect, and until new laws by the next legislature are made, cannot be ques tioned, because,under the preaent laws, such new selling agencies have never been considered, and many weak spots will he found in the present laws in at tempting to regulate them. Every Tom, Dick and Harry, responsible and irresponsible, would be in the beer-sell ing business, from Nov. 8 to the time the legislature acts, and the result would be anything but pleasant to the officers o f the law. Had the bill pro vided for the sale o f 24 quarts o f beer in one parcel and in one sale each 28 days to the customer, by Oregon brew ers, so as to protect a home industry, it would have presented another ques tion; but as the bill now stands, it is dangerous.’ ’ T.

Fine John Fredericks, cook on the Steamer Acme, is “ doing time” in the local jail in lieu o f a $50 fine imposed by Judge Kausrud in municipal court Tuesday morning, he having been found guilty o f having more booze in his possession than the law allows. The previous ; morning Fredericks was hailed before Judge Kausrud and fined $25 for being intoxicated, which he paid. I The heavy fines are due to the fact that the local officers are determined to put a stop to the bootlegging that has been going on for some time. While sufficient proof to warrant arrest and conviction on a bootlegging charge was lacking in the case o f Fredericks, it is generally believed that he had been do ing a “ land office” business aboard the Acme Sunday, and it is also believed that he had disposed o f large consign ments o f California "firew ater“ on previous trips to this p oit.—Western World. To Have Branch at Powers H. N. Lorenz has completed his plans for establishing a branch o f his local clothing store in Powers and expects to have the new store open for business by the middle o f this month. The building which he will occupy is at present under construction and as soon as it is completed the placing o f stock will commence. P. 0 . Lund, who has been employed by Mr. Lorenz here for several years, will have charge o f the Powers branch. Mr. Lorenz says he will have a much more complete stock of dry goods in the new store than any o f the other establishments o f the young city now have. He has a lot o f faith in the future o f the place and ex pects to do well. Arrangements have not yet been completed in regard to someone to take the place o f Mr. Lund in the store here.
