They are engaged in making wur inu-
tciial, either on direct contracts with
the governments of the allies or on
sub-contracts with the Union Melulic
Cartridge Company of liridgcpoit
or the Winchester Arms Co. of New
Haven. The output of the arms and
amunition factories of the state have
been contracted for for two years to
conic. Because of the demand for
arms and amunition, coupled with the
stipulation for quick delivery, plants
nre being enlarged and two or three
shifts of men are being worked daily
and Sunday.
The state is enjoying a prosperity
unbelieved until the orders from for-.
eign governments for supplies be
gan to come in.
A party of Italians have taken the
contract to clear several hundred
acres of bottom land in the Russell
tract, about three miles below this
city. When this land is cleared and

Schooner Barnacle Sails for Treas
ure Trove and Begins Search
nt Home.
The gasoline schooner Barnacle
sailed one night last week, supposed
to be bound for San Francisco.
Shortly after she was missed from
the bay, reports were circulated in
town that articles too numerous to
mention were also missing from
points along the lower bay and
Ilaynes slough. There is no evidence
so far as we have learned, to con
nect the missing articles with the dis
appearance of the boat but accord
ing to street talk there is ground for
suspicion. The crew of the Barnacle
in composed of D. M. Post, Srd Wil
Fon and Win. Harris, who claim they
1 uilt the craft for a treasure hunting
expedition to South America. Coos

Being a Story of a Goat, a Turnip
Patch, a Stump Puller and a Few
Other Miscellaneous Articles
Tho Gold Beach Globe funnyman
had a prolonged spasm in a recent
issue of that paper and delivered him
self of the following:
"You see, Bill" said Tom," "you
must get up-to-date. Go out and get
a piece of land before the newcomers
get it all gobbled up and quit your
fishing and hunting and live like civ
ilized men. As I was saying, Bill, I
was up to Agness the other day, and
there were new people everywhere.
"Why one man came in and bought
ton acres of land.Bought it of old
Jones. It was logged off once and tho
stumps were thick but not so thick
but that blades of grass could grow
up between them. Jones had two
goats which ho pastured on that 80
for years. The bbys said that ' the
goats walked around on the tops of
the stumps and fed on tho grass when
it got high enough for them to reach
it from tho stump tops. One day one
of the goats was on one of the high
atumps, about six feet high and look
ing over into Cooley's field, saw some
very fine turnips.
"By tho way, Cooley was one of
those early comers who was different
than the rest he worked. Ho pulled
out a lot of stumps and cleared the
brush, built houses and barns galore
and lives on tho fat of the land. He
lias clover, alfalfa, turnips and every
thing else that he has a mind to raise
He not only cleared the land but he
tilled it as well and you ought to see
the stuff he raised.
"Well, as I was saying, Jones sold
ten acres of this land of stumps to a
tenderfoot that came along one day.
He sold it for a big price. The new
comer didn't know what it was worth
but after he had bought he pulled out
his pockctbook and paid real cash.
It was more money than Jones had
seen before in forty ycai'S and his
conscience sort of troubled him for
taking advantage of tho poor inno
cent. In order to square himself he
jffercd the man half of his stock, one
gjoat. The man politely said he had
no use for goats.
"Well this fellow went to work. He
got a stump puller and begnn pulling
stumps. As he pulled them he piled
them as high as he could. He finally
had to stop as there was no more
room on his land. His lot was filled
with stumps and they were wet nnd
would not burn. But he was a re
sourceful fellow so he persuaded
Jones to rent him forty acres adjoin
ing his land. He was cute enough
not to tell Jones what he wanted the
land for and Jones had not been near
there since they sold the land. He
only rented for six months.
"As soon as the bargain was made
the stump puller was set at work
again and as fast as the stumpa were
pulled they were stored on Jones
land which by the way was alongside
of Cooley's. Tho man piled tho
3tumps so high that the fell over into
Cooley s lot, along side of it.
"Of course wherever a stump land
ed it created much havoc. Mr Cooley
came out and viewed the wreckage
in the turnip patch. Mr. Cooley is a
man of some resource himself. He
waited until the stumps were dry and
then set them on fire and burned them
up. He waited until the new man
got his stumps all pulled and nicely
balanced in a pile on Neighbor
Jones' land. Then Mr. Cooley went
down and borrowed the stump puller
and pulled the balance of the stumps
on his own laud.
"When some of Mr. Cooley's un-
progressive neighbors made remarks
about destroying his turnip patch,
Mr. Cooley laughed and said: 'The
stranger gave me an idea, and while,
temporarily, I lost some turnips, the
new land 1 cleared, is a great produc
er.
(We'll bite. We are still wondering
what happened when the goat on the
six foot stump saw the turnips.)
