COOS BAY BECOMES
PORT FOR CHINA

Marshfield, Ore.-The C. A. smith
Lumber & Manufacturing company of
this city has taken an important step
for Coos Bay in entering the lumber
trade with China. The big steam
lumber schooner Hazel Dollar is in
port here and is loading at the Smith
mill with lumber for Hongkonk, Chi
ma. The vessel arrived at the mill
while the company steamer Mann
Smith was in port and these two
steamers are the largest that ever
visited Coos Bay. The Mann Smith
Is zoo feet long and the Hazel Dollar
is SS4 feet long and carries 100000
feet of lumber.
As vessel of that size had never
before entered this port, special ar
rangements We're made in the way OF
dredging the channel at the mill. Cap
tain Olson of the Mann Smith brought
the big steamer in and there was nc
difficulty in coming up the bay and
landing at the mill, She will take or

cargo of 100000 feet here and
will finish the cargo at Puget sound
and from there will sail for Hong
kong.
This is the first Of many other car
goes Of lumber which in the future
will be shipped by the Smith mill to
China This and other vessels of the
Dollar company will make regular
trips to this port for China. The Smith
company in the past has shipped all
i,s lumber to California. 1t is believ-
ed that the fact that Coos Bay will
have regular connection with China
win greately advance her interests ana
importance as a Pacific coast harbor.
The Smith mill made a record cut
during March, saving 11.5OO.000 feet
of lumber and the fact that the do
mestic trade is improving and the for
eign trade is now added will insure
heavy runs of the plant in the future.

MAN CAN LIVE ON
| 70 CENTS A WEEK
HARVARD PROFESSOR GIVES
SOME INTERESTING FIGURES
Shows That for Ten Gents He Can
Buy All He Needs TO Eat-Avcragc
Man Needs -Four ana One Half
Pounds of Food q Day.

Boston.-That all human food may
be reduced to five simple elements is
the assertion of Professor ]. L. Hen
derson of the Harvard medical
school. Water and salt, which cost
virtually nothing, are two, while the
other three are carbohydrates, pro-
tein and fat.
The average man of 155 pounds
needs only about four and one-half
pounds Of food day, and this guam
tity includes the 70 per cent of wa
ter, according to DR.. Henderson, who
points out that the essential food val
ues needed to sustain a man for a
day may be purchased in the open
market for 10 cents.
An interesting explanation of the
place these simple elements hold in
the diet of man. DR.. Henderson points
out, is that the human being is made
up of just these things. Since the
food repairs the waste of the body,
he says, the process is merely that
of replacing like with like, and, as
he points out in the matter of pro-
teins, supplied mainly by meats, the
nearer the meat is to human protein
the better it is for the person who
eats it. In speaking of this, DR..
Henderson says:
eve eat what we are made of and
this is what we must know if we are
to understand the subject clearly.
Except as prOteins are more like us,
such as beef for example. one sort Of
fat, carbohydrate or sprotein is a
good as another.
"All proteins are not of equal val
ue. however, and the closer the pro-
tein is to man the better. Thus the
muscle of an OK is nearer the protein
we want than is the protein in the
seed of wheat.
''It might be described roughly as
similar to the question, which might
arise as to the better place to repair
a locomotive. AS between sending
the locomotive for repairs to ma
chine shop or to a place where farm
ing tools are manufactured, the choice
would naturally be given to the ma
chine shop. 1t would be there that
one would expect to find the parts
necessary for repairs for the locomo-
tive. In the same way, when man
seeks food to furnish protein for the
repair of waste in his body, he will
look for it in material similar to
that of the body"

VALLEY LAND Is

The back to the soil" movement
is having its effect in the Willamette
valley. as elsewhere, and is increas-

agement of the Pacific Northwest
Development company, with offices in
the Couch building. which is handling
Washington county lands on a large
scale. This company points out that
the influx Of eastern people into Ore
Gon will cause a rapid rise in acreage
values and for this reason it suggests
that now is the time for a person Of
small means to acquire a small tract.
Washington county lands are con-
sidered productive. and being near to

they offer to small capital a steady

BOY AGED EIGHT Is
LEFT IN NINE CAMP

Wallace, Idaho.-Deserted by his
father and lost from his mother lit
tie Charles Jean, aged s, is alone in
Wallace without money. Nearly a
week ago, travelling alone, the tot ar
rived in Wardner, Idaho, from Spo-
kane, expecting to meet his mother.
He did not find her and since then,
penniless and alone he has been buf-
feted about from one mining camp to
another dependent upon the money of
those he chanced to meet. He ar
rived in Wallace from Murray yes
terday. Here his hopes that he might
find his parent were again crushed.
The child is being cared for by the
county commissioner. It was nearly
three years ago, at Three Forks, Mont.
according to the boys story, that he
and his mother were left. Papa left
us there and mama and l never knew
where he went" the child explained.
After leaving Three Forks the
mother went to Spokane with her boy.
Here she found it necessary to put
him in the children's home. Recently
she took him from the home to live
with Mr.. and Mrs. Harry F. Maloney,
who, the boy explains, is police
man.
While living here he was told that
| he was to go to Wardner TO meet his
mother. His ticket, he says, was given
him by an unknown man. With his
little satchel he started on his 100
mile trip into a strange land alone.
When he stepped off the train in
kellogg he found no mother. After
waiting at the depot for hours with
out dinner or friends he started out
in search of his mama. BY asking
directions he found his way through
Kellogg and Wardner, and it was not
till after he had trudged up the mile
long hill and had reached the center
of Wardner that his feeling overcome
him and he betrayed the fact he was
lost.
In care of the marshall he search
ed in vain for his missing parent. TIL,
officer. however. found a clue tina
led him to believe that the woman
was in Murray. Idaho. So the mex
day the child was started for Murray
Officers again assisted him here
but the search was again unsuccess

In Wallace the child has foun

BIG FUTURE FOR
CALIFORNIA FIGS

That the fig industry in California
has a great future before it was the
prediction made at the University of
California by G.. p. Rixford of the
bureau of plant industry of the United
States department of agriculture, in a
paper read before the Pacific Associa-
ton OF Scientific societies. In his pa
per. entitled "Frutification of the Fib
by Blastophaga" he said that the
Smyrna type of fig as grown in Cali
fornia would soon rival that of Asia
Minor. on account Of the superior cli-
matte conditions in the San Joaquin
valley. as compare with those in the
Meander valley OF Asia Minor the
home Of the famous fruit.
He summed up the big fig indus
try in this state at the close of his pa
per as follows:
"The outlook for the Smyrna fig
industry in California is extremely
promising due principally to favor
able climatic conditions, and is rap
dly spreading to all parts of the great
interior valley. The climate is not at
all inferior to that OF the Smyrna dis
trct OF Asia Minor, where the bulk
of the finest figs in the world are now
produced.
"The outlook of the Meander, the
seat of the great Smyrna fig industry,
has much moister climate and Is in
some respects inferior to that of por-
tons Of California. The rainfall 10
three or four times greater than that
of the central San Joaquin valley in
this state where the industry has at
present its greatest development.
THE rain, however, falls mostly
from November to April, with occa-
sional showers and dew in summer,
making irrigation unnecessary. One
drawback in that country is that once
in three or four years a frost occurs
which is sever enough to destroy the
capri figs, when the growers are OBJ
! liged to draw supplies from the frost
| free islands of the Mediterranean"
