Thei fortunato people of Coob Hny have; not felt tho pinch of hard times; and "a little quiet" hns been about, tho only notlconblo effect of tho ironernl IiiibIiubh depression. It, was Inevitable however, that a con tinuation of eomniorclnl stagnation In othor sections must eventually orfect Coos llay .adversely, ovtn though wu hove hero an empire of; our own. Tlmt's why tho nows brought by business men who have been Investigating tho mnttr ns' they traveled In all sections that tho conditions In tho financial and wholcsalo editors aro changing for tho bettor was welcome tidings from afnr. , . "Kvi rywhoro," one business man l says: "were heard oxnreosloiis of! oxncrtntlons Hint the coming period, . with a posslblo beginning l onrly Hprlntr. Is going to bo the most re- mnrknuln ora or progi-oss aim pru porlty that the country has iver en joyed." There will be no depression this year. Ah Biiroly as the sun will rise p"' set on tho hills and vnl iiv f Oickoii during tho coming year, so Hiiroly will tho d voloptnont of this state go forwnrd In Btrldoa which have never boon equalled. It Is thn concensus of opinion among tho financiers of tho Pacific Coast men In touch with tho financial nnd Industrial confers of tho world that Oregon Ih duo for a growth moro suroly and In greater propor tion than any othor section or tho Northwest or tho Pacific Coast. Tho surfaco of this section has bcon barely scratched ns yot as rar ns our capacity for productiveness Is concerned. A largo part of our timber Ih uncut on tho hills nnd tho opening of tho Panama Canal, with tho building of tho Wlllnmotto Pacific rallrood from Kugono to Coos liny means an ora of dovolop m nt never boforo known. Tho Immigration from Europe which will start noxt fall with tho oponlng of tho canal, will place horn In our state that class or lm nilgrint who will tako up our cheap uncultivated lauds, clenr thorn nnd placo them In condition to produce bountiful crops. It Is this class of pooplo who will i" ally develop thin country nnd bring It to n point of productiveness. It Is this class of Immigrant who devoloped Kansas, tho Dakotns and Mlnnosota after tho experienced middle west and onstorn farmers gave up In despair nnd left their lauds In those states. Tho farmerH who tried to sottio Knusun and after n few years of Btrugglo with locusts, sunflowers and droughts, left for tho oast, ni't tho emigrants from Hussln, Sweden, florninny and Scnndlnnvln coming In to tnke the lands ho was aban doning. It Is this class of oml grants who have made Kansas ono of tho richest states In the union With n per capita of hank deposits which Is equalled by no other state. And It is this class of emigrant who will come to Orouon, take tip our cheap lands and by hard work, to which ho whs horn anil U no Rtrnnger. ho will ' elp hrlnt our Btate to u point of productiveness which will plate It on a par with the Helmut commonwnlths In tho union.

BY THE time yoiinie mon niul wo men outer college or university thoy should have n definite pur poso In education. Thoj should know nnd bo nblo to explain why thoy aro piirBuIng higher learning. If such nn nwnkonliiK las not come to them au tomatically thoy should bo aroused by their elders to the realization that1 to get out of the years Immediately nhoad of thorn the host they have to offer ren.nlros on their part nu np proclntlon of tho mission of educa tion nnd n singleness of purposo In pursuing It. Many young folks, If nskod their reason for going to college, would reply, self culture- thnt Is .to euulp ono'B self for tho bnttlo of life. And the nnswer seems altogether nnturnl nnd notoworthy. It Is lnudahlo for u boy or girl to exert tho offort In volved in n college courso for tho sako of Bolf-linprovotnont. Solf Im provement Ih due way of ralslnit tho goneral level ot socloty. Hut thnt is not, generally speak ing, the prime purpose of higher edu cation. If It wore If would tend to ward an aristocracy of mere culture, for which ther Is no place In a dam ocrnry. Tho only kind of aristocracy tl at has a right to exist in this coun try if an aristocracy of faithful and orru ieut service. In which culture must be merely ono faoior. Such uervleo is the chief need and the highest duty of mankind. An edu cation is lu vain unless it equips meu nnd woman lor their life's duty.
