UNFAIR.

The Fairview News, a bright
little paper recently started at that
hustling new camp in Churchill
county, accuses the Reno papers of
being predjudiced against the new
camp, or at least inclined to say
very little about it, and that not
until all the other papers of Ne
vada and nearly all those of San
FRANCISCO, Salt Lake City, Boston
and New York had given the new
camp boost.
The News is right. There is
very little courtesy about the Re-
no papers, and they seem to be
jealous of every other portion of
the State. In the early days of
Tonopah, Goldfield, and other
southern Nevada camps, the Reno
papers were very lukewarm with
their statements about the great
possibilities of those camps, and it
was not until the big papers all
over the world had heralded the
news of the richness of those
camps abroad that the Reno pa
pers came to the conclusion that
there was merit in the southern
country.
Their policy has been the same
concerning the Mason Valley sec
ton. For four years past the
TIMES has been telling the people
that Mason Valley has one of the
greatest copper zones in the world
but the Reno papers could not af-
ford to say anything about it until
the Utah and Colorado papers
first published the news. Occa-
sionally the Journal would fitch a
piece of news from the TIMES and
the Gazette would steal something
and put telegraph head on it to
make its readers believe that it

INCORPORATE.

The time is at hand when the
people of this town should take
action towards incorporating the
town. While the town has taken
a good start now, there are many
needed improvements to be made,
but which will undoubtedly re-
main undone unless there is some
head to an organization to push
things along in this line. The
town is going to grow wonderfully
this Summer-it will not surprise
us to see two thousand people
here before snow flies next Fall
and there must be something done
for the accommodation of these
people.
As with all new towns, sanitary
plans will be necessary-chief
among these plans will be water
works and a sewerage system
Yerington is so located that both a
water and sewerage system could
be constructed at very little eX-
pense, but these things will not
be done if all is left for one man
to do it. With concerted action of
those who have interests in the
community there is no reason why
we should not have a water sys-
tenn, sewer system, an electric
light system and many other up
to-date contrivances for decent
living.
1t is not as expensive to have a
nice little incorporated town as
some may suppose. In the first
place the citizens of the town-or
those within a certain boundary
which they propose to comprise
the townsite-may petition to the
Board of County Commissioners,
and said Board can form the in
corporation. The other county
officers are also made -oficio
township officers, so that there
may be no great expense of con-
Quoting the township affairs.
The Act of the Legislature reg
ulating this matter became law
in 1881. 1t is too lengthy for pub
LEGATION here, but it covers every
contingency. The people of the
town, who own property and do
business, should think this matter
over seriously, for the time is at
hand to get alive to what is going
on about you. Procrastination is
the worst kind of a sneak thief.
Beware, that by waiting for some
one else to do things that he does
not do them to your detriment and
loss

extent, governed by outside con-
ditions.
At the present time things are
very quiet on Coos Bay in a bust
ness way. Even the saloon keep
ers, OF which there are six in
the village Of North Bend, comp
lain of dull times. The only
thing which seems to keep up is
prices on real estate which are
kiting skyward. One firm, at
the present time, is plating sew
eral sections located in the den
sest forest between North Bend
and Marshfeld and about a mile
or more from either place and

at from $500 to 1000 each,
25x1O0 feet. They are now
opening a street through from
North Bend to this land and the
way they cut the timber down
and burn it or dump it into
gulches to serve as filing is
enough to make a poor fellow
from the prairies sick at heart.
The townsite, too, will dump
more and better lumber on the
scrap pile, which is kept contin-
ually burning, than many a
small lumber yard in North Da-
kota sells altogether
AS to climate conditions, | am
told that summers here on Coos
Bay are very cool and very win
DIV The differences between the
average mean temperatures TAX
en- from statistics ofseveral years
are said to be less than five de-
grees, and they say that many a
time it is actually warmer in win
ter than in summer and the chill
liness these two days, that 1 have
spent here, certainly goes to bear
anyone in that statement. But
for wind and dust (the whole
townsite being underlaid with

residents OF Dakota that one

better himself in that respect.

Rents are Even Higher Than in

Cheaper Than Dirt.

NORTH BEND, Ore, May 9, 'O6.
Friends Truax 4 Colcord:
In my last letter | think | fin
ished with my arrival at Seattle
where l spent several days very
pleasantly visiting old friends
from Grand Forks. Seattle is
certainly a hummer. 1t almost
beats Minut. Store rents are
from anywhere up to five humid
red dollars per month for u 70
foot room, and some lots which
during the panic could be, and
were bought for ten or fifteen
thousand dollars ale now selling
at from a hundred to a hundred
and fifty thousand. Talking with
a man who pays $50 per month
rent for a space between two
buildings about 20 feet deep and
the width Of a single door. Ia
coma and Portland run some
what lower than Seattle espe-
cially the former. Living expen-
ses are ifanything a little cheaper
in the cities and, especially so in
smaller towns on the Pacific
coast than IN North Dakota.
House rents are quite reasonable
as a rule and will probably not
average over half OF what they
arein Minot. Here in North Bend
they can perhaps be estimated
at about two dollars per room,
then counting cheap fuel "a wag-
on box full OF mill wood deliver
ed at your door for from $1.1O
to ST.. 5O) and the fact that but
little of it is needed. Cheap fruit,
as far as native varieties are con-
cerned. Have been told that if
one picks them himself he can
buy apples in thefall for 25 cents
per bushel and sometimes less.
Meat is also, if anything, a little
cheaper, -four about the same.
That from soft wheat can be had
for So. 20 and hard wheat flour
costs $3.50. On the other hand
there is butter and eggs which
are usually higher. so are pota-
toes and probably other vegeta-
bles although this particular To-
cality Coos Bay is reputed to
produce abundant quantities of
these very products, but there

Lord & Horton recently bought
a fine team OF match grays from
Granville to use in their con-
tracing work.
The 500 has number Of
teams at work grading for a new
passing track east Of the depot.
Other tracks will be laid.
Barney A. and Buster, two we'll
known race horses recently ar
rived at the race tracks and are
getting in good condition for the
July races.
The Meyer Lumber Co. recent
ly bought a house and lot from
Henry Auslander in order to Sc
cure more room. The company
is building extensive sheds.
Since opening their house less
than a year ago, Andersh Bros.
have bought more than $780,
900 worth of hides and furs from
the farmers. Quite a bunch of
money to distribute among the
people.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Herzig
left recently for their old home in
Southern Germany which they
left fifteen years ago. They will
be absent five months. They are
among the thriftiest of Tasker's
farmers.
Lewis & Bach have arranged
to handle the business of the
Michigan Commercial Insurance
Co. in this city. This concern
had no losses in the San Fran
cisco fire, and it's financial condi-
ton is the very best.
| The J. |. Case Co. is complet-
ing a new building along the 500
in which they will carry thresh-
ers and repairs. Mr.. Bull. son of
the president Of the company,
will soon arrive from Duluth to
manage the Mlnot business.
(! Maloney & Roise will soon be-
gin distributing High Prairie
Spring Water about the city.
The water comes from Maloney's
spring a short distance from the
city. The water has been exam
ined by the state chemist who
pronounces it excellent.
The Minot Bottling Works is
able to deliver water at your
homes in the city for less than Z
cents a half gallon bottle. The
company gets the water 500
miles away, at the Osceola
Springs and the water arrives in
the company's own 5000 tank,
being perfectly pure. The con-
cern:s has spent a good deal OF
money in order to get the water
here in such good condition, and
the people should appreciate this
fact and patronize it.

will be produced by Maize
Trumbull and her fun crowd at
the New Theatre is a most
positive novelty in the way of
theatrical entertainments. It
is a farce comedy with a plot
and for its correct production,
an entire scenic equipment,
electric and mechanical effects
and moving picture films, es-
pecially made for the play,
have been provided. Songs,
dances and other specialties
follow each other in rapid sue
cession and although the broad
est kind of farcical and absurd
situations never seem to end,
they are written in with a rea-
son for all. After witnessing
the majority of farce comedies,
you will often wonder what
you have been laughing at;
this is not the case with Dads

keeping its audience in a con-
slant roar, is at all times in
PRODUCING some novelty to
please both the eye and the ear
throughout its production.
