Prominent men have stood before Coos Bay audiences and told them truthc about tho wonderful resources of the vast empire 'lying east of us, have told them them agrin tho only half realized truths of the more wonderful resources of their own section. The men who have been among us are men whose vision is not confined to any ono section of the stato but who embrace the entire state, from Dallas to Pilot Rock, from Ontario to Port Or ford in their efforts. Men whose vision has not btcn blighted in looking upon the rainbows of failure and dissapointment. These men aro tho broadest in our land possess a mark of in telligence that is of no small meaning. We must therefore take the opinions of these fell ows as so much intelligence, backed up by sincere and hon est beliefs. It cannot be that all arc mistaken or have been illusioned by the Coos Bay fog. These men have been holding congresses. In the long stretch of territory between hero and Boise. Tho idea had its concoi tion in Coos Bay ono year ago, and since the cmbyro was con ceived meetings have been held monthly with an ever increasing interest. With the Coos Bay congress, nn event of history, the round trip has been made. Tho pooplo residing along the proposed BoiseCoos Bay railroad route have been educated in what they are expected to vote upon a yoar from now. This swath of enlightenment is un brokon and when the poles arc opened for an election asking that this route bo set apart as a district and taxed to help build a railroad, there is little doubt but all will be in a position to cast its votes intelligently, and no ono doubts for a minuto but that the project will receive a hearty indorsement. Tho possibilities and oppor tunities offered Coos Bay liavo been reiterated in tho various addresses mado and tho pcoplo of this community have been enlightned as to tho valuo of tho interior to this seaport. Tho people cast of us are up in nrms demanding an outlet for their products and Coos Bay needs tho railroad connection to distribute goods from its wholotalers. Tho intcrosts are identical and can not bo divorced. These men who havo spent a great deal of their time in going over tho possibilities and advan tages of tho stato, having atten ded all theso congresses hold during tho year, havo como to but ono united conclusion as to tho futuro greatness of Coos Bay; and that is wo must offer evory possiblo inducement for a rail road. This does not mean that tho work of deopening tho har bor and improving tho various inlets, of building good roads and other public Improvements must cease, and a united effort turned towxrd tke railroad pro- must be taken in all those things I until tho decired result is ob i tnincd, Wo aro theroforo confirmed in our faith of Coos Bay and mado to feel thnt tho era of a hotter day is dawning, both for us and tho great undeveloped country lying to tho east of us. Horo's to tho men who have given their time and monoy in furthering tho organization of tho Coos Bay-Idaho Development Congress and tho work it has undertaken. Wo aro glad that tho organization had its inception in Coos Bay and wo aro proud to havo tho first year's work end here. May the zeal of theso men nevor falter and that Coos Bay may never feel that anything but good como from the influ ence of this great organization. Coos Bay Harbor.

INDUSTRIAL NOTES. (Portland Correspondence). Impressed with the futuro of tho Pacific Northwest in agri culture, delegates to tho national convention of the Association of American Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Stations have returned homo niter holding a week's convention in Portland. Thoso in attendance expressed themselves as surprised at tho manifest agricultural wealth here. The fertility of tho boil and the progress made in agri culture aroused much comment The visitors were enabled to see various parts of tho stato by special train as guests of the Portland Commercial Club. So highly pleased were they that the excursionists passed a resol ution of thanks to their enter tainers nnd spoke in very high terms of the country inspected. Since tho visitors nro hard head ed scientists who are not given to making unwarranted statements, their opinions of tho Northwest and its futuro in agriculture may bo taken seriously. Tiieso were nothing short of glowing. Tho fertile soil; the favorable climate; organization nnd intelligence of the farmers here and their suc cessful methods, nnd rich oppor tunity for those who undertake agriculture in this favored sec tion of tlto country, nil were spo ken of by the visitors. Their fnvorablo opinion is certain to bo productive of much good for theso men nro in touch with large numbers of farmers who aro looking for now locations, as well as thousands of students who nro studying scientific agri culture and who aro on tho look out for good farm lands. Tho Senate irrigation com mittco is in Portland this week inquiring into tho conditions of irrigation in tho Northwest Arriving Tuesday morning, tho visitors aro expected to remain here a day, and sessions at which inquiries will bo mndo will pro bably bo held in tho nudltorium of the Commercial Club. While hero tho Senators will bo cntor tained at a luncheon by tho Com mercial Club and taken about the city and surrounding country. President Taf t, who comes to Portland October 2, lias been in duced to cut out a golf gamo that had been planned for him hero and make a public address so that his admirers hero may havo an opportunity to hear him speak. It was first arranged to have tho big President kept somewhat in seclusion; appear ing only at a banquet that could bo attended by a limited number. It now appears that in addition to making a public address at tho Armory on tho afternoon of October 2, ho will lay tho corner stone of tho First Universalist church on tho following day. Tftd' coming visit of tho Presi dent has been tho cnuso of a new record being set for Orogon fruit Some admirer has purchased two prize boxes of Winter Banana apples from a Hood River or chard, paying $25 per box for them and will present thorn to tho nation's executive. As tho apples will run about 32 to tho box, tho buyer will spond about 75 cents for each apple, a 'prico never before, so far as known, paid for Oregon apples. Of courso tho careful selection and packing of tho fruit for shipment to tho Whito liouso accounts for a largo part of the almost fa bulous prico, Assured by tho recent decision of Judge Bean in tho Federal Court that it has definite and superior rights on tho Upper Deschutes River for tho con struction of a railroad into Cen tral Oregon, tho Oregon Trunk is now proceeding to establish what it considers an indiBputablo foothold on tho lower river. According to Judge C. H. Carey, representing counsel for tho Hill road, who returned yesterday from tho Deschutes country, the Oregon Trunk expects within tho next two weeks to ncquiro ab solute titlo to a right of way over tho first 12 miles of its pro jected road on tho west aido of tho river says tho Orcgonian. This property is owned by pri vate parties, Malcolm Moody, of The Dalles, being ono of the principal owners. "We are proceeding actively with preliminary construction work all along tho survey of our projected road, beginning with a point about 12 miles abovo the mouth of tho Deschutes and ex tending southerly for nbout 100 miles," said Judgo Carey yester day, "except at such points on tho lower 40 miles of tho river where tho surveys for tho two roads conflict A determination of theso rights awaits tho deter mination of tho courts. Our purpose is to construct a railroad into Central Oregon, nnd that is what we are proceeding to do. Tho road wo havo projected will bo comploted anb placed in oper ation just as rapidly as men nnd monoy and tho permission of tho courts, covering disputed points, will permit "From the time wo first pro jected a railroad survoy up tho Deschutes wo had a tacit under standing with tho owners of pri vate property for the -first 12 miles of the river that vo would bo granted permission to con struct a road over thnt propery. Tho granting of this right de pended entirely on condition that wo would not interfere witli contemplated water-power de velopment projects near tho mouth of tho river. Tho owners of this property nro insisting that wo build our road at a height Bufllclont to permit of the con struction of a 140-foot dam and, whilo I am not authorized to make tho announcement officially, it is moro than probablo that tho terms of tho ponding right of ways wo are to receivo will pro vldo for tho construction of our road at such nn elevntift. When these details have finally boen settled, which probably will bo dono within a fortnight wo will bo in position to commonco con struction operations at tho mouth of tho river. "For tho present wo aro directing our offorts towards tho construction of wagon roads lend ing to tho ennyon at desirable points in the first 12 miles. These undoubtedly will bo completed by tho timo tho questions of right of way aro adjusted. "Wcaro in earnest in our de termination to build a railroad into Central Oregon. Such n road will bo constructed just ns rapidly as men nnd monoy will enablo ui to do it Wo promiso tho people of Oregon to give them a demonstration of railroad building such as will surpass all previous records in tho history of tho West," Activity in railroad construc tion on tho Deschutes, however, Is not confined entiroly to tho Hill forces, according to reports eminating from tho Harrimrn offices. It la announced by local representatives of tho Harriman system that the promoters', of tho DaachuteR Railroad are antiflllv ftfetiYe with the Hill people fin the work of actually building a rail road into long-neglected Contral Oregon. Confident of possess ing priority of rights on the low er river, tho Harriman officials dcclaro they aro proceeding with construction work all along their surveyed lines, save only at such points as they prohibited from occupying by tho injunction which wns recently continued in favor of tho Hill road by Judgo Bean. the fnmo thought. This is tho ultimate end of the conser vation workora. No campaign is being waged to attract the attention of the outside investor for ho as a rule is fully informed on the latent wealth of this stato.

That in livestock as in other things it pays t6 produco the best is illustrated in the case of J. H. Gray & Son, of Prinovlllc, ono of tho best known stockmen of the state, who sent a shipment of 20 fancy cows to Portland that sold in tho local market at tho un usual prico of $4.25 a hundred, C5 cents above tho current top quotation on the sort of stock that has been coming to this market There were 20 cows in the lot, and they averaged 1020 pounds in weight They were all well- bred and well-finished Herefords, a breed that Mr. Gray has been raising for years on hla Crook county ranch. Tho cows were consigned to the Gould Commis sion Company, of this city, and bought by L. Zimmerman for tho S. & S. Company. Tho price paid for theso beeves is said to bo tho highest over paid for cows here at this timo of the year, and it sTows what can bo expec ted in this market if shippers will send in tho best. Asido from this sale of fancy stock there wero no develop ments of importance in tho cattle trade. Receipts of cattle, as well as other Btock, were fairly large, but there was tho usual heavy pcrcentago of medium to common oltenngs. Tho best sold readily at the top prices quoted for some timo and there was a good general demrnd for quality beef material. Telegram. Oregon School Children on Resources. Oregon resources aro to bo subject for competitive articles written by tho school children of, tho state. Prizes will bo award ed for. tho best treatise, and arrangements will be mnde to havo tho winning articles given to tho broadest possiblo publi city. Chairman J. N. Teal of tho Conservation Commission, which is tho official body of tho stato looking to conservation of resources, hns decided to offer prizes for such articles. Full dotails have not been worked out, as tho departuro is just being given serious thought As soon as Mr. Teal can arrange with tho conservation commis sion to havo proper announce ments mnde, so that tho matter will go before all of the school children of tho state, tho exact prizes will bo named, and tho conditions under which tho offer is mado will bo published. Forests will bo tho main idea of tho work. Thoughtful men, and especially tho members of tho Conservation Commission and tho Conservation Association, aro impressed with tho tremen dous wealth contained in Ore gon's forests, and the necessity of having tho stato rcalizo Its assot, and bo orgnnizo policies that tho greatest and most per manent results may bo achieved in handling forests. Tho child ren will bo urgod to tho mQst careful study of forests of Ore gon, forest uses, conservation and protection from fire. By en listing their study the attention of their elders will ba directed 'brurtf. Suits of Color Harmony. Much sound advice on the buy ing of rugs is contained in an ar ticle in tho Woman's Home Com panion for September. . In re gard to color it Bays: "A floor should bo the lowest or darkest tono in a room, then the walls, and the ceiling tho lightest or highest This is tho natural way nnd the safest to follow as a gen eral iuIc. It gives a feeling of firmness nnd solidity to the floor, whereas, if the color i3 reversed, and the floor is lighter than the celling, one feels that the ceiling is coming down on one's head and that dodging is the only way to escape a blow. The floor should support the walls in color as well as in fact, but care must be taken not to make the mistake of thinking that strength of color is obtrusiveness of color. Strength of color in the right place will make' tho scheme of decoration a successful nnd satis fying one, but obtrusiveness of color will make a hopeless fail ure of it "Tho chief color of tho rug should bo the chief color of the walls not necessarily the samo tone, but harmonizing tones of tho same shade. If the walls aro a soft yellow, a rug with dif ferent shades of brown, and to give the needed note of contrast, dull soft red and blues, would look well in the room. This kind of rug would also go well with green or blue walls. The pro portion of the different colors in a rug may make or mar it for ono's special use. In choosing a rug it is best to havo a feeling of ono predominant color, with the other colors adding the snap that contrast gives, and forminir a harmonius and delightful whole.
