MUCH JOY OVER APPROPRIATION.
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.

TACT OF EUGENIE.
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.
