MUST IMtOVIDH ItOOMS. Thero Is an opportunity for many of the Marshfleid people who might care 10 taico in roomers to uo so. They can get good prices, and at the same time accommodate many strangers who come to the city and have difficulty In finding a place t stay. For example the'C. A. Smith people are always looking for rooms for new men they constantly have coming here. It te a hard matter to find places for them. There are many houses In the city where one or more roomers could be easily taken care of without inconvenience. When people come here and have good positions they ought to be able to find suitable places to stay. The hotel accommodations are always overcrowded, and It Is really up to the people who conveniently can, to make provisions for the newcomers. If nnyone has rooms to lent they can most always find desirable room ers through tho Smith company, and fit the same time will be doing a fa vor to tho company and the strang ers. If we have not sufficient hotel arrangements tho city must In some way welcome tho now people and help them to this extent. 'TRANSPLANTING A 'fiOONI.

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson in a recent speech touched upon the manufacture of denatured alcohol and the raising of the crops which are needed for its manufacture. He calls attention to the fact that no more coal is being made, and that wood fuel is getting scarce, and that the farm will be made to yield light, heat and power through the produc tion of denatured alcohol. Now the fuel question is not one which Is worrying the people of the, Coos Bay country, as we have coal and wood in greater abundance than most places on this part of the coast, but heie Is land which Is peculiarly adapted to tho raising of potatoes and the fruits from which can bo manufactured denatured alcohol. The market will be big for the pro duct, and its production not only promises a big industry in a manu facturing way, but another source of pioflt for tho farmers. Tho resource is one which will be well worth look ing into, as it would add still an other money-getting business to the Coos Bay country. j THE IlltOAl) ROAD. In the news columns of the paper recently there was a telegram from Seattle telling of the fact that R. C. Lee had. been confined in the city jail. Lee was formerly a minister of the gospel, and some years ago was pastor of the Methodist chinch of Marshfleid. This fact makes the matter of particular local interest. Lee .was an exceptionally able man. He was a brilliant and gifted speak er and a popular man, with before him a bright promise in the ministry. His wife died and he was left to care for three chlldien. Bright as he was, and surrounded by the good people of his church, he was not strong enough to keep in the straight and narrow path. However, it may bo said of him that-he gave up his church in Marshfleid before the scandal he brought upon himself publicly exploded. But while he was still in the min istry and in RiarshHeld he allowed bad Influences to surround him. He put his hand too near tho flrp and burned his 'fingers. - Women, drink, exposition, disgrace quickly followed one after the other. He found the, broad, smooth incline to destruction an easy one on which to decline, and he went the limit. Finding his life ruined, his lVrnie defamed and his friends gone, ho did like many others have done and directed his course to still lower levels and steeped himself In the degradation of the foulest vices and Is now a dr.unkard and a rake, despised by his. former admirers and spurned by his once good friends. t It's the old-old story, only in this case it was worse. Many a" good man has gone the route and ended as this man has done. But this 'man was a minister and-held the confi dence of, his people, and the shock was therefore 'greater. While after all ministers are only human, society) uemanus more or tiiem. The right ones try to lead moral lives, that they be good ,'examples, so when one, makes a misstep It attracts more atn tention than If he was the ordinary human. It only goes to show that the higher tho position a man holds, the greater Is the fall. Perhaps a helping hand might have saved this man and perhaps It was many times extended, but how ever that may be, the once respected Marshfleid minister Is a common drunkard and jail bird of a big city. After all, we are all of us minis ters, millionaires and laborers alike poor, weak humans, and it be hooves us to watch ourselves. The first steps in the wrong direction aref alluring; the pace once started Is a rapid one, and when one reaches the bottom he will find It mighty hard to climb up again.
