Viiuukss All Oommiwicatio -nsto COOS DAY DAILY TIMES ilarjui'icM - ' Oregon THE KAILROA1) SITUATION. The railroad situation in any part of tho United States is at all times n matter of deep' interest, and the development of the system of trans portation is always Indicative of the progress ot civilization. Railroads on Coos Day are particularly inter esting because of their great necess ity and their almost completo al Bonce. But 190S seems to promise tho very best results in this direc tion. The prospects for the comple tion of tho Drain road are better than ever before. Tho people of Drain feel sure that the Southern Pa cific will build in tho spring. Port land people seem to havo no ques tion about it, and tho report comes from San Francisco that, In certain lines of tailroad wdrk men arc being called for at this early day to go to work on tho Drain road in connection with bridges and iron and steel structures. That tho Southern Pa cific has always been desirous, since beginning work, to push the work to completion, Is denied only by those whoso prejudices havo prevented them from investigating tho facts. Now that all complications are out of tho way except tho financial, the company considers this the first of Its projections to complete, and April 1st of this year will doubtless see the work begun in real earnest. But this is not all. Tho electric railroad which extends up tho Wil lamette valley Is of standard guage and Is equal In structure and all other respects to tho demands of I "vy traffic. Tho power behind it 13 altogether mysterious, and is shrewdly suspected of being one of th strategic names of somo great transcontinental lino Invading tho Southern Pacific territory. It is gen erally believed to bo tho Great North ern. Nor can its construction bo ex plr'ned on tho ground that it is n-crely seeking tho trade of tho val 1 as it feeder, it is believed that 'one and Coos Bay will bo tapped ' ., ho same system, and that It is of tho roads which aro Inspiring activity on tho part of the Southern Pad lie.. While " something lias been said about tho Moffatt road being extend ed to this port, tho information is somewhat vague. Tho Woman's Mnjazino, published as far east as Ohio, contains an artlclo which cred its one of tho citizens of Coos Bay with boing an agent of tho Moffat sys tem, to obtain rights of way and fi chlses fiom North Bend and . jhlield. Tho people hero havo not seen any activity In that lino as yet, but tho Information conies from Denver that tho Moffatt peoplo havo raided by stock subscriptions over 5200,000,000 and that their lino is in proceed westward from Salt Lake City to Coos Bay. This road pro i 38 to connect tho gulf with tho I t.clflc, and Coos Bay Is persistently assorted to bo tho pioposed Paclilc tci ailual. Hut thoro is no quostlon that tho ;:. thwostern and tho Mllwaulceo aro ei 'ring tho Pacific territory. Tho Milwaukee is not to bo satisfied with Seattlo and tho Sound, but Is already proceeding to Poitlund. Her plans ai. to reach Sun Francisco also. T..J same Is true of tho Noithwost orn, oxcopt that tho Northwestorn is at present nt Lander, Wyoming, but t. .j yonr proposes to proceed with hw woBtorn extension with a view to c-ipletlng, In tha nonr luture, tho '. rtost transcontinental lino In America. It U known that North . -iuru men have been over tho lino iu Coos Buy with n lev to submit n ,; bids for the contract work of obstruction, and tho Northwestern nl run trains into the Coos Bay ter nary by the time the Panama canal i completed. A man can excuse meanness In hlm")lf, but how ho despises it lu others. i ; m rwv. w n vtq "B m I fh ii With the toast and lea i ONE BEAR THAT HE WILL NEVER AaVt iMffeteSJX rLS . fWVffi1tfeV,inaIKW,Ufl-l. v .

O "Teach us delight in simple things, And mirth that has no bitter springs; Forgiveness free of evil done, And love to all men 'neath the sun." Rudyard Kipling. As to Girls. I like my freedom, I admit, My pipe and chat with some old crony, But still I am not opposed a bit To matrimony. A blessed and a holy state I know that cannot be disputed. As for myself, I merely wait Until I'm suited. Show me tho girl who's to my mind (They are not scattered round so thickly) , But show her to me and you'll find Me acting quickly. I do not ask for beauty rare, Or for a bearing proud and stately, For Intellect I do not care So very greatly. If she's not absolutely plain, And If in her the virtues mingle In a fair pioportion I'll remain No longer single. Yes, such there arc some perfect gems Sweet girls with dispositions sunny. Tho trouble, though, I find with them's They have no money. The Bachelor. Tho follow who Is satisfied to wait for something to turn up is gener ally turned down. "Hero's whoro I put my foot in it," remarked Frank Parsons as he stopped in the bathtub. 0 IN THE POET'S CORNER.

A woman nlwnys feels that she is privileged to say disaxrooable thlnss to those sho lovos. "Somehow or other tho necessities of life don't seem so Important as the luxuries," said .laok Flanagan as he lighted his two-bit Perfeuto iu the poet's corner. A neighboring pnragrapher says; I Adam was a lucky man in that his wlfo's waists didn't button up tho' tr i fv back." And then, it was said theto 'vas a sort of snaky feeling around there, anyway. Besides, there is no evidence that he ever saw Eve's back. O He Forgot Himself. . Abscntmlndod Employer (to stenog apheri Write u letter to Murray ana tell him to seud us his nddiess.
