The announcement of $90,000 appropriated for the Coquille river water way is the source of great satisfac tion to the people of Bandon and the Coquille Valley. The people of this valley feel that it means an era of new development in this section. It will not only benefit the shippiiig interests, but will mean employment for a large number of men and will bring just that much more mon ey jnto the country. Since the organization of the Port Commission tke outlook for the lower Coquille Valley was never better, as each year it is certain to bring some thing new in the way of harbor improvement, and tht government will now give us recognition in the way of appropriations as never before. PROSPEROUS COOS COUNTY. It is said by real estate men that there are practical ly no dairy ranches in Coos County for sale. This would indicate that ranchers are well satisfied with their condi tions and are busy making money. There is room, however, for several times as many dairy ranches in this county than we now have, and if people qf the outside world could only be brought tc realize what great opportunities there are here, in this line, there would be a great influx of people and the coun try would become much more rapidly developed. The move now on foot to import a bunch of Holstien cattle into this section is a good one and there is going to be a great development in the way of better stock No doubt when the excellent dairy reports of this sec tion are brought before the public eye, there will be manj people flock here for the purpose of bettering toheir own conditions and grasping the opportunity to make more money with less work. THE COMMERCIAL CLUB. There seems to be a prospect for a new awakening of the Commercial Club, as was indicated by the large at tendance and great enthusiasm of last Friday night, and the good part of it is, that those who were there pledged themselves to come again next Friday night and bring another with them. Now if these men keep their word we are assured of a rousing meeting. But it must not stop there. We should have a large attendance at every meeting. It has been the history of the Bandon Commercial Club that about every six months or a year we work up a little enthusiasm for a few weeks, and then it dies down again and the burden of keeping the club going falls on the shoulders of less than a dozen of the faithful. It is to be hoped that this revival will be of a more per manent nature and that the enthusias will last from year to year. A good commercial club is undoubtedly the greatest factor in the development of a city and if it is kept alive there will always be prosperity in the city. Of course we must all make some sacrifice if we would keep up a good live commercial club, but the sacrifice will be made up to us ten fold, if we keep the good work going. Be out to the meeting next Friday night and then don't let that be the last meeting you attend, but keep it up. Let's have something doing in the Commercial Club line all the time. GEO.

Diplomacy of the French Empress en a Question of Dress. A curious Instance of the diplomatic methods of the ex-Empress Eugenie Is worth recalling. When Queen Victoria, I'rlnee Albert and the princess royal were about to visit Nupoleon III. and the Empress Eugenie It was feared at tho French court that the young princess royal would not bo dressed In n style that would harmonize with French taste. The question was how to beguile her royal parents Into dressing the child In a suitable manner. In this difficulty the empress had n reaHy brilliant idea. Tho height und other measurements of the princess royal were obtained and a doll of ex actly tho same Blze procured. The doll was provided with a large and exquis itely finished troussoau, and It was then dispatched to Buckingham pal ace as an Imperial gift to the princess. The expected happened. Queen Vic toria, enchanted with the dolt's ward; robe, transferred most of the outer' garments to her daughter for use dur ing their visit to the emperor and empress. Tho result was tlmt the princess appeared at her best, and ev erybody was pleased! London Spec tator. Criminals of Manila. "Criminals are practically unknowu in Manila," observed un olUclal of that city. "I mean by this thnt there Is iio criminal class In the Islands, as there la In European countries and In the United States. Tho yeggmau, the pro fessional pickpocket and sneak thler do not exist there. Of courne we have to deal with high crimes, and there aro a considurablo number of murders. Doubtluss tWa Is due to the murcurlul temperament of the people. The. Fili pinos are much like the Spaniards. They are easily angered nnd commit murder in a moment of passion. The spirit of revenge also Is pronounced among the Filipinos. I huve found that most of the murders committed are traceable to that old motive the eternal triangle. 1 don't recall any murders in the Philippines that were committed with guns. The weapon ordinarily used Is the knife or nolo." Washington Post Woman's Influence. It Is at the foot of woman we lay the laurels that without her smile would never have been gained. It Is her Image that strings tho lyre of the poet, that animates tho voice In tho blazo of eloquent faction aud guides tho brain In the uugust tolls of stately counsel. Whatever may bo the lot of man. however unfortunate, however oppressed, if ho only love and be loved, hv must strike a balance in favor of existence, for love can Illumine the dark roof of poverty und lighten tho fetters of tho slave. DlsraelL Ringlets Weddings. A wedding without a ring seems In congruous, but in somo parts of Spain no ring Is used. After the ceremony the bridegroom moves tho flower In tils bride's hair from left to right for In those districts to wear a rose uhovo your right ear'ls to proclaim yoinulf a wife. Soothing the Bride. "I told Maud that Jack was simply crazy to murry her. aud she took of fense." "Why was that'" "Don't know, unless It was that when I said It they bad Just been married." Boston Transcript Whips at Weddings. At Swedish weddings among the middle und lower classes the bride (room carries a whip. This Is un em blem of his authority in the domestic drcl.
