ADVICE TO A KING

~ INCE one touch of nature makes
~ the whole world kin, everybody is
~ feeling friendly to King Manuel
of Portugal, who is in love with the
daughter Of one of his mothers ladies'
in-waiting. The lstory of all love
affairs that are interfered with by pa
rental or other meddlers is alike. The
Portuguese guardians of the king will
send the lady-in- waiting and her little
daughter abroad, in the hope that sep
aration will cure the king of his affec-
ton. Separation never killed true love,
and as the king says he will marry his
sweetheart or nobody, a royal elope-
ment may be looked for. If King
Manuel will take our advice, he will
get out of the royalty business alto
gether. At one time it was a splendid
occupation. The less a fellow did the
more he was paid, for all the world
like the Taft appointees in the Philip
pines. But in modern times the civil
ICED countries have shown tendency
TO scrutinize severely and to audit
royal bills Of expenses. Even King Ed
ward, the only monarch who is reason
ably secure from assassination or
armed rebellion, was told some years
ago by his parliamentary masters that
he must be less extravagant or there
would be a throne to let in the United
Kingdom. A monarchy which can be
bullied by the common people and
which takes its bullying like lamb is
not much of monarchy after all. Con-
siderations OF salary induced King Ed
ward to stick to his job, although in
disputable authority says he placed his
resignation in the hands of the prime
minister and promised to be good. But
Manueps salary is not as great as that
OF many United States officials. So we
urgently appeal to him to save trouble
and create one of the most sentimental
romances OF modern times by marrying
his own true love and coming over to
the United States. Our benevolent Re-
publican government might be induced
20 create a OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
and-pickin's Job for him in the Philip
mines. wouldn't that be nice? Think
4 ever. NANNY, old man!

CAREFUL POLICE

~ OLICEMEN with melancholy mo-
notony testified at the trial OF
l. w. P. McComas. charged with
the murder of Mrs. Charlotte Noyes'
that they had heard shots fred which
in all likelihood killed the woman, but
had not traced the sound of the report
to it's origin and ascertained who had
been shooting and who had been shot,
BECAUSE IT WASN'T ON THEIR
BEAT" This suggests the cheerful
reflection that a citizen might be done
to death with Los Angeles policeman
within hail. but the policeman would
not interfere, would not dream of in
terfering it it was mot ON HIS
BEAT"

PLENTY OF ROOM

TROM time to time we have con-
tended in these columns that des-
Il titute poverty is both an anomaly
and a cruel absurdity in the United
States. People who have Travelled all
over the country realize there is plenty
of room for every family in the land,
plenty of occupation for all, plenty to
eat. It is the Grass stupidity of present
method or lack of method of distribu-
ton of population with reference to in
dustrial production which is respon'
sible for many menacing economic
evils. Senator Bankhead of Alabama
in a speech on good roads, said: do
not let us have great mobs Of the un.
employed, so long as there are millions
of acres Of land waiting to be titled and
homes waiting to be built"

In the twenty-sixth annual conven-

w. c. T. u, now in session, the chief
interest represented is that of the
home. The relation of the temperance
movement to happy domesticity should
never be forgotten. That is why a
temperance movement in which women
are engaged should have the force OF
a genuine crusade, and a victorious
one, and it accounts for the great sue

DR.. James B. Olmstead, and
family of Portland, have been spend
ing a short vacation at Waldport.
Waldport people who visited the
Yachats Monday and Tuesday re-
turned with several boxes of smelt.

interesting for the campers here
this summer.
Prof. Cameron, principal of the
Ashland schools, and DR.. Tilton
also OF Ashland, have returned
home with their families after five
weeks stay at Waldport.
The mill of the Waldport Lum-
der Company resumed operations
Monday after remaining idle for
over a month, The shingle mill is
also in operation and a load of
shingles will be ready for the Con-
dor on her next trip.
The sloop Condor arrived Friday
and sailed for Portland Saturday.
This was Captain Tyler's last trip
with the boat as he has resigned
his position to engage in business
at Newport. Waldport people re-
gret losing Captain Tyler as he has
done much for them in giving Alsea

will now have charge of the boat.
Roswell B. Lamson and Charles
w. Sherman accompanied by their
wives left for Portland Tuesday
after spending week here. They
came in by way of Falls City and
the Siletz, returning by way of the
Alsea valley and Corvallis.
The launch provided by the
government for Forest Officer Dur
bin arrived Monday having been
brought up from the Siuslaw by
Forest Officer Stillwell. The trip
up was made in four hours and is
considered remarkable trip for an
eighteen foot boat. The Sea Gull,

Report of Grand Jury.

To the Honorable L. T. Harris,
Judge of the circuit court:
We, the Grand Jury of the Au-
gust, 1908, term of the above en-
titled Court respectfully submit this
our final report as follows:
We have examined into all crimes
coming to our knowledge commit
ted and triable within Lincoln
county. In consequence of un-
avoidable delay in procuring the at
tendance of some witnesses and in
ability to secure the attendance of
other witnesses we were unable to
make a sufficient investigation of
the charge against Laura Bales who
was bound over from Five Rivers
Justice Court and for that reason
could not intclligently act thereon,
and we would ask that the investi-
cation of said charge be continued
and that the same be referred to the
next grand jury of this Court.
We have examined the offices of
the various County Officials and
find the same and the records of all
said offices neatly kept and in good
form.
Owing to its location the room
used by the present Grand Jury is
unfit for grand jury work. 1t is to
small, cannot be ventilated except
by opening windows just at the
front door of the Court H use, and
we are convinced that the proceed
ings of the grand jury are heard
through the walls. We recon-
mend that the room on the second
floor of the Court House in the
?
north west corner be fitted up and
used for grand jury room, and the
small room Just to the south of it
be used as an entrance way and
ante room to the grand jury room.
We would urge upon the County
Court the necessity of the county
providing at once a county Jail, and
would recommend the erection of a
Jail with one or more steel cages on
the court house grounds.
We would further recommend
that a suitable desk be provided for
the Assessors Room.
Having completed our labors we
ask to be discharged.
Dated at Toledo in said county
this Goth day of August 1908.

Coast Road Again.

fers with Julius Kruttschnitt in
Klamath this week the new road
into Central Oregon will not be the
only thing discussed, according to
the Portland Journal. Kruttsch-
nit returned yesterday morning
from trip to Tillamook, having
thoroughly gone over the resources
of that territory. His idea is said
to be a coast line for the Southern
Pacific from San Francisco to Port
land. That this line is again talked
of by Hartman there is no doubt.
1t was Kruttschnitt who conceived
planned and executed the coast line
from Los Angles to San Francisco,
which runs along the shore nearly
the entire distance between the two
California cities, in many places the
roadbed being actually constructed
on the beach, within few rods of
the sea. Since the completion of
this line the director of mainten-
ance of the Hartman system has
been busily at work scheming a
similar line north from San Fran
cisco to Portland.
Some Of the advantages of the
line over the present one are these:
1t would be a cheaper line to
build and to operate, having fewer
mountains and less steep grades.
1t would save time between San
Francisco and Portland.
1t would tap a country much
more profitable to the railroad than
the present line, because where now
there are long stretches that pay no
revenue to the railroads, practically
every foot of the coast country
would give traffic to the line. The
forests in the coast counties are the
most valuable in the west and in
addition the land is immensely
valuable for agriculture and dairy
ing.
At present there is line in ex-
istence from San Francisco bay to
Willetts, in Mendocino county,
known as the California Northwest
ern and controlled by the Santa Fe
and the Southern Pacific. 1t is
generally recognized, however, that
the road is controlled by Hartman
and that he is planning to extend
it to Eureka as fast as possible. 1t
is surveyed to run through an enor-
mouslyi, rich country including
Humbolt and Del Norte counties
in Northern California which are
among the richest in the west.
The sugar pine and redwood forests
of Humbolt county are famous the
world over and yet the only way
lumber can be shipped at present is
by water from Eureka.
A survey is said to have been
made north from Eureka through
Del Norte county to a point very
near the Oregon-C California bound
ary line. That Kruttschnitt hopes
to see this line constructed not only
into Del Norte county, but north
ward through vastly rich but un-
developed Curry county, in Oregon,
along the coast to Coos bay and
then to Tillamook, traversing Curry
Coos, Lane, Lincoln and Tillamook
counties, which are all heavily tim
bered, there is no doubt.
During the trip into Tillamook
county with E. E. Lytle, who is
constructing railroad west from
Hillsboro to Tillamook, Mr.. Krutt-
schnitt devoted much of his time to
finding out all he could of the re.
sources and wealth of the coast
counties. That he was more thar
satisfied with the showing made
there can be no doubt from the re
ports of the trip brought by Mr.
T,ytle and w. w. Cotton. And n.
