T iHERE IS NO TRUER saying have," and not only does this that feeds the poor and needy those in distress; but in still greater measure does it apply to the many beautiful accomplishments of mind and heart that enlarge only as they are lavishly bestowed on others. Service for others "blesses him that gives and him that takes." Our own lives are strengthened and sweetened as we help others over the hard places by kind encouraging, sympathetic words and acts; and as our hearts are enlarged there comes a joy in service that makes our lives what each one of them should be strong and fine. PORTLAND AND COOS T HE NEXT -MEETING of the Ore gon-Idaho Development league occurs on August 20 and 21 at Coos Bay. Portland business men and commercial organizations should see to it that a large delegation of representative business men of this ity attend that meeting. People of orland 'are not taking enough In terest in these development league meetings-'and the projects therein discussed. Through these assem blies of wideawake, enterprising,, progressive and In 'many instances individually disinterested and self sacrificing men great things will be achieved for Oregon and Idaho with in the next few years. There will be far more Irrigation, more scientific and profitable culture, more people located satisfactorily on small tracts of land, more products gaining a big reputation for Oregon, more electric lines of railway and probably a rail road from Coos Bay to Boise City, to form a part of another transconti nental line. All these things the business men and capitalists of Portland ought to take a lively Interest In and help. Everything dono In this direction anywhere In the two states, or In a largo part of Washington as well, is "wftter oh Portland's wheel." A big meeting was held hero awhile ago to inaugurate, a campaign for "COO, 000 In Portland in 1912." But to accomplish this result, or any thing like It, all parts of tho great country tributary In whole or In part to this metropolis must develop rapidly, must fill up with people, must Increase their products, must double tholr business. Portland will only grow as tho Oregon country grows. Portland people have been too self-centered; they should look abroad moro, ovor all parts of this vast, splendid rogion, and take moro Interest in them. At tho recent mootings of develop DULL, NOT IT IS DULLER than usual down this way. Tho wavo of stagna tion sot up by tho tariff tlnkerors has reached tho Pacific coast, and Coob Bay Is fooling tho lassltudo thereof. But wo want It understood overy whero, that while It Is a bit dull hero thero is nothing approaching paraly sis in this city or section; we are all busy. None of our Industries havo i shut down; our stores and mills nro nil open; our boats are all running; wo' are in ready touch with tho world, and not yet divested of our best hopo and cheer; wo havo no poor house, no beggars, no Idlers, (that would be anything else if they could), we aro all at work, In store, factory, mill, ofllco, in jmbllc and prlvato ways, at our usual wago and Editor and Publisher News Editor OF COOS COUNTY. than, "The more we give the more we adage apply to the generous hand and Is reached forth to succor BAY.

In pro portion to Its population, wealth and interests at stake, it was the most poorJjvrflpj:e3ented town In the state. This should be bettered, and there Is no better place to begin a better record that, at Coos Bay. The Coos Bay country is well worth Pprtland's attention. It is a region of magnificent resources. Marshfleld and North Bend together will in a few years make a city half as big as Portland. And don't ima gine that Portland will lose anything by encouraging development there. That splendid region and t"Is city will grow and develop together. Both are parts of Oregon. They should sympathetically cooperate. What helps one will help the other. There will be In the near future not only one ralhoad but two or more Into that region. Its wealth of timber, conl, dairy farming and fruit lands Is Immense. It ought to be friendly to Portland, and Is, If Portland will show due and timely friendship for It. And the Cociullle region Is of scarcely less lmportnnce and Inter est. Thero ought to bo a big, hearty, enthusiastic, slncero delegation of Portland people to Coos Bay on this occasion. Broaden out. Look far around, In all directions, over this great "emplio," of which Portland Is and can bo more and more the metropolis and mnrt. Go over to Coos Bay. It will do that region good. It will do the visitors and Portland moro good. It will broad en their vision. It will enlarge their opportunities. It will make now and strengthen old friendships and business relations. Make the peo plo of that region know that Tort land Is alive and Is interested in them. Portland Journal. PARALYZED. salaries; and there Is no notlceablo talk of laying off or .cutting wages. The business outlook on the out side Is Improving, The statemont of William Ellis Corey, president of the United States Steel Corporation, that Europoan financial and Indus trial conditions Justiflod tho predic tion of an uuprecodonted revival of business In America, gained remark able support In recent news develop ments. The American Radiator Company has modo purchases of pig Iron to tho amount of 40,000 tons within tho last ten days. Tho Harvester trust has placed contracts for 75,000 tons. About 25,000 tons have been arranged for by cast plpo manufac turers and smaller Interests havo bought 100,000 tons. v. Tho Increase in the number of orders has caused the larger independent mills to raise the price of steel bars, plates and structural shapes. The steel trust, it is reported further, Is now running its furnaces and plants at 90 per cent ot capacity. The steel trade Is the barometer of industrial conditions. Manufac turers looking anxiously for impro vement in the business .weather, have kept close tab upon the prod uction and earnings of the. , trust. They will have reason to feel elated by the developments of July. So let It ke known of all men that Coos Bay Is "right up and a-comlng," and not a little bit cast down by the transient "damper" that has reached us, after passing over every other town In the land. We are alright, thank you. STATJE POLITICS".- T HE ANNOUNCEMENT that F,. W.

There was a single man who had No buttons- oir his clothes, A fact that made him. very sad, ' As you may well! suppose, He used to put those buttons on In every sort of way; With patient care lie fixed them there, And yet they wouldn't stay. He hitched them on, he stitched them on, " t Securely, one may say, Then presently her found" them gone What was the reason, pray? In time, ns surely you have gue'ssed This man was much annoyed, He beat his palpitating breast, And with his tresses' toyed. A comely maiden passing them Beheld" his horrid plight, And laughing- cried, "You clumsy men!"" And fixed his buttons right, ' . Need more be said? They, soon were wed, i i Girls, hear the'sonir T slug: Because their buttons won't stay on The men are marrying. Selected. Only a rich man finds in his pockets he didn't had. a ?5 bill know he It Is a rare neighborhood1. that can prodhco. more-than one-perfect hus- band. Plenty of people can statu! adver sity, but only a few can- stand pros perity. There is not so much falling: in love lately; and those that are In are falling out. ... It is said" that President Taft Is worried. Better get him dn. the 4 scales right away. & Every man can prove that other ui people Impose on him morettian he Imposes on others. One man advertises for a wife who has no mother. He must' have, taken the mother-in-law Jokes seriously. ty It Is reported that a madman on ;-0 Lake Erie was pacified by a.'plece of pie. It must havo been cherry pie, No woman punishes her husband because she loves him, and punish ment never yet made a man'love hl3 wife-. It Is all riglit to Inspire children with confidence, but it Is best not to advise them to swallow safety pins. The strange feature of tho case Is that tho California man who married twenty women won't admit that he Is sorry. . When you see a woman on the streets she is going to ono of two places; to a dry goods store or to the dentist. The reason so many men break their pledges to quit smoking Is that nobody raves about their great moral strength. The cantankerous man makes so many excuses for his own fool tricks that he has none left for the foolish ness of others. The average man thinks ho knows as much as tho average doctor about tho human system, until the average man gets the appendicitis. Why is It we put the same Inflec tion on "O, he Is always looking for tho best of it," as on "O, ho Is al ways looking for the worst of It?" Woman Is by naturo a persecutor of tho opposite sex; If she can not worry some man she will call, her lit tle boy in and wash his face every-half-hour. If a man Is accused of a dreadful thing and has never been caught at It, he is probably not guilty. Soon aftor a man Is guilty he is caught. This Is a rule that never falls. , Read the Times' WintrAdi. SAILED TODAY FOB PORTLAND Breakwater Leaves With Fair' Cargo arid Qood -Passenger List.

Claude Nasburg, R. O. Graves and J. D.

The bunch was as larpe as an ordjnary sheaf and measured seven feet in heighth. The heads were well developed and most of; them were fully a foot, In length. Mr. Hartley has about eight acres of which the sheaf Is a fatr sample, Ho is cutting it for hay and expects to get about five tons to the acre, which at the present price of $12-per ton will bring ?60 an acre or $480 for the crop.
