Address Ali, Communications to COOS DAY DAILY TIMES Mirthfield Oregon J'lX YOUR FAITH TO 1008. There is a sort of concensus of Seeling throughout this community, that the year 190S is to be a banner .year for Coos Bay and the sentiment .grows steadily. This is alright, and ashould not be disturbed by any use Jess doubts; for the more we hug tho impression the more we will strive for the reality; and in the striving we are to find compensation. .Nothing comes to the sloth, the spiritless, the Inert; life's winnings fall among those who are deep in uie jjame with money and brains and energy all active and alive to the passing opportunities. If 19 OS is to be a star year for Coos Bay it will not be because she is just unavoidably in tho line of march of events; but on account of the fact that homo other and extraneous ener gy Is at work making use of her re sources and facilities and aptitude for the consummation of their partic ular ambitions; and if we are to share In tho access that falls their way we will have to be as alert to serve their ends as well as our own. 19 OS sounds good to us. There fore, we must make the most of every possible agency wo possess to secure the good fortune; we cannot sleep and expect it to stumble over us. Wo will by our own aggressive and wide awake spirit and it will mean nothing I more to us than we shall achieve of our volition and snap. 1 here is one thing every citizen of Coot, Bay can do at any time boost or tin city and tho county and con tinually tell people why it is the best fount ry on earth or at least as good as any. Senator Fulton has intro duced a bill into tho sen rito ,to appropriate ?3S5,235.G1 for the relief of Oregon for the ex penditures in contributing troops in 1SC1 to 1SG5. Some men decline to advertise be uaiibi.', ats thoy say, "there's nothing doing," when tho fact is there's noth ing doirg because they don't adver tise. To "know whero the railway sta tion i.)"

Lo THE VANISHED DAI'S Lay the jest about the ju'.lp in the t camphor balls at last, For the miracle has happened and the olden days are pa it; That which makes Milwaukee thirsty does not foam in Tennessee, And the lid on old 'Missouri is as tight-locked as can be, Oh, the comic papers Colonel and his cronies well may sigh, For the mint is waving gaily, but the South is going dry. By the still side on the hill side in Kentucky all is still, For the old damp refreshment must be dipped from up the rill. N'th C'lina's stately ruler gives his soda glass a shove And discusses local option with the ! South C'llna gov. It is useless at the fountain to be winkful of tho eye For tho cocktail glass is dusty, and tho South is going dry. It Is water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink. Wo no longer hear the music of tho mellow crystal clink, When tho Colonel and the Major and the General and the Jedge Meet to linvo u little nip to give their appetites an edge, For tho eggnog now is nesless and tho rye has gono awry, And t'ir punch bowls hold carnations, and tho South is going dry. All tho nightcaps now have tassols and arc worn upon thb head Not tho night caps that wero taken when nobody went to bed; And tho breezo above the bluegrass is as solemn ns Is death, For It bears no pungent clove-ting on Its odorlflc breath, And each man can walk a chalklino when tho stars aro In tho sky, For tho fizz glass now Is flzzless, and tho South is going dry. Lay tho Jest about tho jullp 'neath tho chestnut tree at last, For thoro's but one kind of moon- shlno and tho oldon days aro past; For tho water wagon rumbles thru tho Southland on Its trip, And it helps no ono to drop off to pick up tho drlvor's whip, For the mint bod makes n pasturo and the corkscrew liangoth high, And all is still along tho still aide, and the South Is going dry.

The same to you and many of them. $ The straight and narrow path would be' more popular on Coos Bay if it were wider. There are some Coos Bay men who have such extraordinary figures that an umbrella is about the only thing they can buy ready made. O ' Tho figures show that more mar ried men than bachelors commit suicide, and the wretch who edits the Oregoniau says: "Why shouldn't they?" A Coos Bay girl was asked to ex plain why the men never kiss one another, while women do. She re- I piled: "Men have something better to kiss; women haven't." 1 I A little Coos Bay boy when asked If he received a lot of presents and had a good time on Christmas said: , "Nov! ma gimme a new suit of clothes for a present and I had to bo careful of them all day." A Marshflold woman told her milkman that thf-re was one differ ence between him and a cow the cow gives pure milk. The milkman said there was another difference tho cow didn't give credit. O "I can't see why," remarked the North Bend girl, "because a girl marries a man she should take his name. " "T.ie-t an " oolrl tlio ATm.ali flnl.1 wretch. "The poor fellow ought to be allowed to keep something that he could call his own." Doubtful Compliment. At nn evening party thoy were playing a game which consisted of everybody In the room making a face, and the one who made the worst face was awarded a prize; they all did their level best, and then a gentle man wont up to ono of the ladles and said: "Well, madam, I think you have won the prize." "Oh!" she said, "I wasn't playing." Montreal Star. Editor's Yearly Invoice.

Miss Doris Williams, of Myrtle "Point, spent Christmas with friends at Marshflold. R. L. Weekly was down from Grav el Ford over Sunday, having brought down a baud of sheep for dealers on tho bay. Mr. Percy rjean, of Norway, and Miss Mamie Wilson wero united in marriage Christmas night, the 25th, at the homo of tho bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Wilson, of this city, Rev. Thomas Barklow officiat ing. Rev. H.C.Preston, of Curry county, pastor of the Presbyterian church at this place for about a year, left Saturday for San Francisco, with his son Kirk. They expect to spend some months in California, but have not definitely deciden on a location. W. E; Rackloff has gone" to San Francisco for a visit with friends. Lester Dement, who has been at tending the Oregon Agricultural col lege at Corvallls, has arrived homo for the holidays. Rev. H. C. Preston, ofCurrycounty has arrived In Myrtle Point to take charge of the Methodist church as pastor for the remainder of the con ference year. He will have rooms at tho home of Mrs. Annie Barklow. The German American Hospital Association is to open and conduct a hospital at Bandon with Dr. II. L. Houston as chief -sjirgeon and How ell Poole as business manager. W. W. Deyoe has sold his fine resi dence property at the corner of Fifth and Harris streets to Ray B. Dement, and It is possible that Mr. Deyoe may ii'ovs to California, for a time at least. . City Recorder Rose has been con fined to his home for several days with a sevro attack of the grip, but ho is st,JP(Mly improving and hopes In a dr.v or two to be his old self once moiv. N. P. Peterson was Santa Claus to a lot of little people several days preceding Christmas. Ho gave to the boys pocket knives and to the girls dressed dolls as long as they lasted and after that sacks of candy. Peter Wise, noting an outside pa per has been making some brags about persimmons grown, does not want Coos County to take a back seat in that particular. He has a per simmon tree in bearing at his home and it has been bearing fruit for a number of years. The fruit will probably not be ripe enough for use before February. The four-months-old babe of Mr. and Mrs. Wert Whittington, on the South Fork, died on the 24th, and was buried in the Whittington ceme tery on Christmas day, Rev. Thos. Barklow officiating. Elza Leep, a brother of Dr. K. A. Leep of this city, and J. V. Leep of Bancroft, is visiting them. Mr. Leep is a recent arrival to the coast from Texas nnd is at present locatod at Roseburg. Dr. Leep and his brother have not met before In over thirty years and it is not difficult to imagine thnt their meeting at this time was a very happy event. RIVER NEWS. Craft and Boat Men on the Coquillo As Seen by the Sentinel. Max Tlmmerman, the Marshileld boat builder, expected to lay tho keel the first of the week for Ott P. Willard's new passenger boat that will ply between Coquillo and Ban don. All material is in readiness to enable tho boat's hurried construc tion. The Coquillo Steamboat company reports that they aro expecting tho new boilers for tho Dispatch by tho middle of January. Mike Siimmerlin "hiked" in from tho homo place on the North Fork Christmas morning, coming over tho trallvas the only menus of getting here. Mike says tho North Fork was jammed with 10,000 logs when he left, McDonald and others preferring to hold them until convinced that they could bo handled on tho main river. Purser Sam Johttton, of the Lib erty, tells tho Sentinel that all tho mill3 on tho lower river aro shut down for tho holidays, but each of them expects to resume operations soon after New Years. No vessels are at presnt holding In tho river, tho steamers Elizabeth and Bandon being expected tho first of tho week from San Francisco. A scow loaded with 20 tons of coal and two spools of logging cablo was sunk Sunday In tho river near Mvrtlo Point, tho scow rising to the surface after dumping off Its burden. Tho coal and cnblo wore tho property of Harrliuron Bros., tho loggers, and may likely be recovered whoa low water rot urns.
