Tne directors of the fair association will no doubt set apart certain days for th«* use of the pioneers, suspending all other exercises for the time. If such an arrangement is tr, »de, the g «titering should be distinguished by the presence of the few remaining g.a/ haired men and women whose labors of a half century ago. formed the nucleus of the present advanced conditions now enjoyed in this re gion. The men and women who ai rived in this wilderness and took p< .»session of the beautiful Coos bay, ami the adjacent picturesque and fertile valley, all situated on the ex- ticme western border of the United Stales, deserve to be remembered by those that now enjoy the result o! their energy and enterprise. ” 1 hey bad followed the glint ot the setting sun” and established homes in its light. The pioneers of this coast, with their sons and dau;liters, and others who have come to our salubrious Bud fertile region in later years, should fie present on Pioreer day, end, in tender memory “ot the days that were for a time, but now are not’ and listen to the stories about homes that were far apai t, and the h irdships then endured. The cem eteries of Coos and Curry counties are holding the remains of some of those heroes and her lines, who helped to hew out the way for the e.itablishment of the grand and im- p irtant enterprises that are bringing fa ne to our couutry on account of its wonderful resources and to enable their posterity to enjoy lovely homes, surrounded by luscious fruits, and the comforts that tend to happiness. For this reason the native sons and daughters of this region should take I an interest and make the meeting a I success and a joy to gray haired aigonaut, and let it be known that those ot the early pioneers who have passed over the river are not for gotten. It is suggested that there should be a monument erected io the memory of that heroic band that n iw occupy the “city of the dead.” Myrtle Point is a very fitting place to rehearse experiences of the first adventures within this beautiful and prolific Coquille valley, because it is recorded that the first white man to make tracks in the Coquille valley left them near the fair ground. At that time there was a large army of Indians, who were hunting elk and catching eels in the vicinity of of Myrtle Point. Tons of dried eels were hanging in the wigwams, and huge antlers ornamented their camps. Since then—only a half century — the delicious eels and the majestic «Ik have almost disappeared, and farm houses now occupy the grounds and glisten in the western sunlight. Let us come together and greet the survivors of the early settler, and honor the memory of those who have passed on before. — Judge Livro. ----- OOO---- - WHAT ONE MAN HAS DONE With “Wornout" Land Another Might Try Also With S ucmm . A farm of 1(10 acres, twenty-five miles out of Philadelphia and with good railroad faclliiacM, was Hold for tax««« Horne yearn ago txs-ause the land was worn out. it had a thin, gravelly soil. Moat of the land lies on the aide of a ridge and has a moderate slope, but alout five acres are level meadow, on which a tine apriug la situated. A market gardener i>urcbaaed the farm at a tax sale. He cut treuchea ubout 5«Mi f«*et long and 20 feet wide acroaa the meadow, the bottoms of which were covered with gravel, an«! divert«*! th«* spring water into th«»m. A stand of wateren-as waa then atart- «*d, and by fall It covered th«* trench«*«, and the owner began to cut and ship it to the Philadelphia markets. An cold weather approaches the cress is protected from frost by rough hous«*« built over the trenches. The north aides of the houses art* of Inch boards against which corn fodder la stacked to kts*p out the wind. The south Hides ar«, of glass The heat of the. sun and the warmth of the spring water are sufficient to keep the creaa growing rapidly all winter without resort to artificial heat. A portion of the beds Is cut over each «lay. and in about ten days it is again ready for cutting. The returns the first winter were about f 100 a day from th«* cr«*as. A narrow strip of soil betw«*en the buck of the house and the edge of the trench Is devoted to violets and has prove«! very profitable. On th«, remainder of the farm French lilacs are set alsiut four feet apart and kept well cultivated for four years. The bush«*« nre then taken up am! forced to bloom about the Christmas holidays.

I«ast y«*nr's crop of wheat 180,000,000 bushels re moved from th«* soil $70.000.000 worth of plant food. In other words, the state of North Dakota Is worth less as a crop factory by $70,000,000 than tie- fore th«* past season’s crop of wheat was grown.

The average breadth of the Atlantic o«-ean is about X000 tullea. Each mile contains 5.2N0 feet. A simple arlth methical problem gives us the extraor dinary result that, supposing North America to have traveled at the same ais-ed in the past as In the present, it took our continent l^lki.OUO years to accomplish the journey to its present site. The idea Is a fantastic one. it suggests that In about 2.000.000 years, if the present speed be kept up, the Pacific coast of America tuay bump against Japan and China, thus obliter ating the Pacific oceau or leaving it merely a chain of lakes.—New York World.

Massilon, O., Aug. 23. — “The recent protracted heat hatched out a brood of chickens, the mother of which died long before the peeps were to leave their shells on the chicken farm of Lee Shilling, who teaches a country school near here. Shilling when asked about it said: “The hen had been dead a week when I visited her nest and found ten Minorca chicks that had hatch ed out during the hot weather with out hen or incubator. They were as lovely a lot of peeps as ever I saw.” Shilling expressed wonder, not so much because* the blazing sun had hatched the eggs, which requires a temperature of 103 degrees, as he did that the eggs hatched without the daily turning process practised by hand in aitificial incubation and done by the hen herself in natural incubation.
