HARBOR IMPROVEMENTS.

Recent dispatches from Wash
ington state the government en-
gineers reported adversely to
making further appropriations to
continue improving the harbor
Of Coos bay, and that Secretary
of War Root had ordered the in'
provsmens. discontinued. When
Mf. Hermann was Ia congress
shfough his efforts Coos bay OBJ
tained regular appropriations,
bat Portland and the OregoniAn
Steadily opposed them. 1t will
be noticed: that the people o'
Ceos bay and the whole county
eastward have been bending
every energy to get a railroad
from Coos bay to. make eastern
connections. The road is stalt-
ed and built for a short distance.
Reports heretofore said that they
had high hopes of putting the
railroad through as indicated.
Before a railroad there can be
made a success, Coos hay must
be still further improved. Port
land and the Columbia river need
all the Improvement they can-get.
Oregon can only get a certain
amount through the general ap-
preparation bill for the improve
ment of her rivers and harbors.
Whatever amounts are appropri'
ated tor Coos bay, Yaquina bay
and other Oregon seaports, tina,
much less remains to be devoted
to the Columbia river. While
Mr.. Hermann was in congres:
appropriations were regularly
made for the improvement of va
quina bay. Mr.. Hermann wa
able and strong. enough to over
come the opposition of the Ore
gonian and Portland influence t.
these appropriations. After Mr.
Hermanp,s time expired in con
gress the efforts of the Oregonia,
prevailed and the governmect en-
gineers were induced to repor
adversely to continuing the i'm
provement of Yaquina bay, an
the improvement stopped. MI
Hermann was always in favor {
reasonable appropriations for Col
umbia river, Coos bay, Yaquin
bay and all other rivers and har
bors of Oregon. But the Ore
gonian and Portland inhuenc
from the first, strenuously oppo'
ed Mr.. Hermann because b
would not ignore every othe
part of the state, and devote b
whole energy to obtain all of ii
Oregon appropriations for tt
Columbia river. The democra
ic press have joined hands wit
the Oregonian and Portland il
fluence to oppose the election
Mr.. Hermann. This combine
opposition means, if successful
that for the next several yeal
the Columbia river will get all {
the appropriations which Orego
is entitled to receive for the in
provement of rivers and harbo
and that every other part of tt
state shall get none.
All parts of the state shoul
move along in harmony togeth'
and every location should recei,
its proper portion of public fave
and it will be Mr.. Hermann
effort to represent all interes
when elected. His large an
long experience in congress wi
enable him to accomplish mo,
than any new man.

A
Queer
Law Case

The daily papers not long ago
reported a trial case where a man
sued medicine concern which had
offered a hundred dollars for a
case their remedy could not cure.
1t seems that the man had not
been cured, though he had taken
the remedy. The defence was
that he had not taken the medicine
long enough. He did not get his
hundred dollars.
We allude to this because Vinol
does not give a slippery guarantee.
We sell it on its merits and
leave it to the user. If the user
comes back with his empty bottle
and says: "I took that bottle of
Vinol, and l can't see that it did
me any good" we don't argue
the matter. We say, or our clerk
says, Sorry that you happen to
be among the few-here's your
dollar !"
The few! They are very few -
less than one out of a hundred,
according to the experience.
Vinol is a scientific non-secret
compound of cod liver oil (greatest
medicinal food known), organic
iron (iron that can be taken up into
the blood and used), and a mild
table wine. 1t is pleasant to take.
Our Vinlax, for constipation, is
Vinols companion remedy, sold on
tbe same Guarantee.

How to Prepare and Cook a Goose
Old OF Young.

How to Prepare and Cook a Goose,
Old or Young.
A goose is the typical Christmas
bird, although most families dine on
turkey that day, and some like pair
of ducks and fine roast of beef. The
goose must be young, or what is called
a green goose Yellow and flexible
feet are a sign Of youth. A goose is
dressed and trussed in the same man
ner as a turkey but the skin should
be thoroughly washed.
Sage and onions are the traditional
seasonings. and very good way to
stuff a goose is to boil and mash some
white potatoes and season highly with
onion juice, sage, also salt and pepper.
Dredge the outside lightly with salt
and pepper and thickly with flour.
Lay the goose on a rack in the baking
pan and put a few tablespoonfuls Of
water in the pan; baste often. Twenty
minutes to the pound is the average
time to allow for the baking. Garnish
with blood oranges cut in sections on
parsley, celery tips or any other green
garnish.
Make a sauce from the contents of
the pan. thickening with flour. and
after straining add the giblets, which
have been cooked until tender in wa
ter and chopped coarsely.
An old goose cannot be cooked salts
factorily in this way. 1t will need to
be parboiled and then braised.-Chica-

A POUNDS A POUND.
But a Pound of Feathers Is Heavfe
Than "a Pound of Lead.

But Pound of Feathers Is Heavier
Than "a Pound of Lead.
That old question about a pound Of
feathers and pound of lead takes OH
new interest when we look at it in a
Fsurd, Of course, that a pound Of one
thing could be heavier than pound of
another thing, and yet that is exactly
what may be shown in this case; not
that the pound of lead is heavier than
the pound of feathers as most persons
would say on the spur of the moment,
but just the other way-a pound of
feathers Is heavier than q pound of
lead.
|, This apparently inconsistent state
ment may be quite easily proved. With
accurate scales weigh pound Of lead,
using ordinary shot for convenience;
then with the same scales weigh a
pound Of feathers, putting them into a
@muslin bag for the purpose. The feath-
ers and the bag together must weigh
/ exactly a pound.
"A The next step in the operation will
show apparently that there is no diff
ference whatever in the weight Of the
two articles, for you put the shot in
one pan of balance and the bag Of
feathers in the other, and after little
seesawing they will come to an exact
level
Now, however, the scientific phase of
the question presents itself, and you
are reminded that in weighing the ar
ticles thus in the open air you have
taken no account of the buoyant pow
er of the air, which bears everything
up in proportion to the objects bulk.
AS the bag of feathers is Of greater
bulk than the shot, it is borne up more
than the shot is, and for that reason
it is necessary to use little more than
a pound of feathers to balance pound
of lead.
This, however, is theoretical. The
practical proof is obtained when you
place the balance bearing the lead and
the feathers on the receiver of an air.
pump and cover them with the glass
bell. Then exhaust the air, and you
will find that the pan bearing the feath-
.ers will sink and the pan bearing the
lead will rise, thus showing that when
weighed in the ordinary way the guam
tity of feathers used to make a pound
is actually more than a pound.-New
