The Astorian has its ideas OF how

communities of the State and has ex'

IA not alone in its fight for decent con-

the News herewith;
portland papers mentioned last week
that the Chicago & Northwestern had
surveyed a line across Oregon to Eugene
with a continuation TO Coos Bay. But
then they taeksd on an addenda, to the
effect that 'railroaders contend that the
outlet is not the sort the projectors OF
a transcontinental road are in search OF.
and that the line will head north to
Portland This is another way OF ex.
pressing the appreciation Of Coos Bay
as a shipping point, entertained by
Portland They occasionally pat us on
the back and whisper pleasant things In
our ears about how Portland loves this
isolated portion of the State, and how
anxious the Portland merchants are for
increased commercial relations - and
larger orders for goods. They give US
all kinds of old CUFF about our splendid
possibilities, and how glad Portland
would be to learn that Ianeontinetal
road was headed this way, and that
every mothers son of a Portlander was
suffering from pains in the abdominal
region that could never be relieved until
Coos Bay bar was improved to a depth
Of 40. 50, 60 or 100 feet at low water.
But when they really think there u
danger Of transcontinental road head

'railroaders contend that this outlet is
not the sort the projectors Of trans

they may be able TO head of trans

surely coming when more than one

The Importance of Clean Grain.

There is no subject of greater in
terest to the wheat grower than his
selection of seed grain and it's sub
sequent growth. Every farmer should
know and understand this because a
little head work in this respect will
save work and add generously to his
profit. The demand for seed wheat in
creases each year and there is no rea-
son why every farmer should not be
in a position to clean his own grain.
There is no way quite so sure of get
ting seed wheat as to grow it your
self, providing you can clean it prop
erly. A. V. Cleland, an authority on
the subject, claims that one of his
cleaning machines will pay for itself
in one year. On such a basis, there
certainly is no reason why every farm
er should not own one. The Cleland

in every possible way and will ode

Big Demand for Lands.

The North American Land Com

another part of this paper, state the
rush this spring for good improved
farms will be greater than ever before
and they say they can scarcely secure
enough farms to meet the demand for
their customers.
