KOIl COUNTY COMMISSIONER WITHOUT ruferenco to political factional or geographical linos, Tho Times thinks thoro will lio gonoral admission of tho fact that this section of Coos Coimty should have u representative on tho hoard or County Commis sioners. Coos Hay 1b an Important section of the County,, pays heavy taxes and In tho 'noxt fow years will bo tho scene of much Important develop ment work of both public nnd pri vate character. It will bo good business and good Judgment for tho county as a whole that this .section bo represented by a man familiar with Its conditions uud Its needs. J. T. Ilnrrigau Is tho only namo yet announced from tho Hay sldo ns. u member of tho County Court. At tho suggestion of a number of frlomla and business men ho has announced his candidacy. With gon ulno public spirit Mr. Hnrrlgan has ntated that If thoro Is Bomo ono else bolter qualified or whom tho public desire, ho Is willing to with draw nnd tako off his coat and help elect him. What ho desires is Bomo inun from tho Coos Day sldo. Such n spirit Is ono of tho contrib uting elements that would mako J. T. Hurrlgan un excellent mombor of tho board. Mr. Hnrrlgan Is n Mnrshflold busi ness itnun, u heavy taxpayer and a citizen Interested in tho odvolop munt of Coos County along economic lines. Tho present Is a good time for Coob Day to unite on some ono can didate that thoro may bo no doubt SB to having a reproBontntlvo on tho county board. lane's preparedness program ESTABLISHMENT of government armor and munition plants, ab andonment of drendunught con st! notion, and tho addition or largo fl'oetH. of submarines and noroplnnos to protect tho country from Invasion, "but not for nggrosslvo warfare or tlio invasion of any other country" Is tho policy advocated by Senator Harry Lano or Oregon in a statement assailing tho most-talkod-or plans or National doronao. 'Senator Lano opposes croatlon or a largo standing army and promlBoa to- Introduce nn'ntuondiiiont providing for tho enlistment of rrom 500,000 1,000,000 mon, ror porloda or rrom six to nine mouths, paying thorn prevailing wages and employing Hum In building highways across and through tho country, nt tho aamo tlmo training them In rudlmonUiry military tactics two days each weolc. This plan, he states, would enublo tho turning hack Into private lite about a million henlthy young mon each, who would not bo ruined by lite In tho barracks," and tho Nation would socuro badly needed roads. Tho senator stutes that $ 17,000V 000 supor-drcudnuughts which In a fow yoara become out-of-date nnd usoloas, nro not needdd, but that pow erful coast dofenso vessels, subma rines, aeroplnuoa, hydroplanes uud mines, with largo guns along tho cousts, will provide amplo detenso at far less cost, Tho senator's plan Is a good ono, In that it would mako tho army use ful us well us ornumoutal, tako tho pVoHt out of war, and remove the dangor to liberty by militarism. Let us hope It will receive- somo attention in theso fronsslod days of prepared ness for mythical foes. Medford Tribune, HA! HA! (From tho Albany Democrat) A man down Coos Hay v.v.y la numod T.

IN CONNECTION with tho running or tho rtrst train ovor tho Willam ette Pacirio railroad from Eugono to Marsh Held and tho Joint celebra tion -at tho ovent by the two cities, a thought is suggested by an editorial in tho Salem Capital Journal. Know ing the spirit ot his neighbors and without waiting ter a formal Invita tion, ho urges the Chorrlans and tho Commercial club of that city, to send a delegation of not less than J 00 to Join In tho rejoicing ovor tho completion- or a lino of communica tion which will open wide tho doors ot Southwestern Orcgoit to tho world. Eugono nnd Mnrshflold havo reap on to colobrato. Tho now railroad will moan much to both cities, With in tho noxt few ycara a great nnd Important dovelopmont will tako placo within a territory which has heretofore been virtuully unknown nnd In which production huB been limited by lack of transportation facilities. Eugene as tho northern terminus, and Marshriold, as tho southern terminus, and tho small towns along tho way, will reap iho benorit ot now enterprises and the Investment or capital. Railroad builders nowadays, betero attempt ing siich a project, make survnyo, both physical and economic, Tlio matter or posslblo tonnago is tho first to' bo dccldod. What is there to haul, giving promlso to return upon an investment? Huslnca.4 In duces tho building of tho railroad, uud tho business of tho 122 miles of the Willamette Pacific, according to men who nro Informed as to re sources, gives promlso or enormous volumo. No ono has a better con ception or tho growth that Is to come than the officials ot tho South ern Pacific company who long ago dccldod that such a railroad would bo a profitable lnvostmont, even though a connecting lino to tho south, providing u second through route to San Francisco, should not bo built In tho immediate future Tho prosperity which tho Wil lamette Pacific will bring to Ore gou is not alono a matter for Eu gono and Marshriold. Tho ontlro Btnto Is vitally Interested. This rail road Is ono or tho great rocent do volopmcnts In tho state. Tho town nnd cltlr.ons or tho lino nro most Im mediately concerned. In tho cele bration, howovor, it would bo woll to extend an Invitation to all Ore gon cities to Join in tho plans, mak ing it an ovent ot statewide char acter. Tho spirit dlflplayod by Editor FlBhor is tho sort that Oregon needs. Ho Ib not waiting for an invitation. His neighbors aro concerned and ho Is willing to boost. Ho not only wants his homo city to send a del egation to. rojolco with Eugono and Marshflold and tho othor towns, but ho suggests that tho delegation bo largo enough to bring Bomo en thusiasm with It. With bucIi a fool ing manifested olsowhoro, Eugeuo should bo cognizant of the possi bilities of tho colobratlon. Tho Radiators aro already making thrlr plans. Tho Chambor or Commorco is making Its plans. Tho individual citizen should bo making his piuuu. Eugeno should send not less than 1000 enthusiasts over tho now road with tho operation or tho flrot train. In tho moantlmo, plans ter our part In tho colobratlon should lo broadoued to mako 1t quo or tho greatest in tho history or tho city. All Oregon jdiould bo Invited, Editor Flsher'a suggestion tel lows: LET US REJOICE WITH OUR NEIGHBORS. Tunnol number 4 on tho Willam ette Pacific railroad Is nearlng com pletion, It bolng tho last or tho nlno on tho road unfinished. Whon this Is completed It will bo but a short tlmo until trains will bo running betweon Eugono and Marshflold, and Southwestern Oro gou will no longer bo dopondont on tho sea for communication with tho world. It was expected trains would be running this mouth, but tho unusually severe weathor delay ed tho work nnd It will bo March betero tho last rati' is laid. Eugono and Marshriold aro botli planning big celebrations, the latter making three days or it. It Is or much more than passing Importance to I Salem this opening ot anothor Ore igou seaport, through which sho may 'solid hor products out to tho vorld and rcceivo from it such .things as iho needs. Sulem should Join In tho colobratlon heartily, Bonding n goodly delegutlon toEugeno to tako part thoro, mid then on to Mnrsh flold.' This Is an opportunity tho Chorrlans should not overlook und the Commercial Club can do no nicer on better thing thnn send a big delegation down to tho now shipping point. Wo all rejoice in our neighbors getting In touch with us and why not show how much wo appreciate the tact? Salem should send a delegation of not loss than ono hundred, and tho more ;:ie bit ter.

Presldont Sproulo, ot tho South ern Pacific, Bays the story that his company will build a road from Coos Day to Eureka, California, Is false. With all deference to Mr. Sproulo's supposed knowlodgo of tho Bubjcct, ho 1b most decidedly mistaken. Ills company will build that pieco ef road for tho slmplo reason that It cannot afford not to do -so, or to allow somo other road to, get a water level haul around tho S1b klyous Instead of over them.
