HAINVV DAYS While we are now In the helghth of our enthusiasm as to the future of Coos Bay and believe that there Is Buccess In store for all who stay, we must remember that there will come times when It Is not such easy sail ing. There- will bo rainy days, so to speak, as sure as tho rain comes in Its season In Oregon every year. We cannot forget the old fable of the ant and the grasshopper wherein the former cautioned tho latter to pre pare for the winter. In all rapidly growing cities, and all new places thero are times which appear discouraging. Coos Bay has had such times and Is sure to have them again, just as sure as human beings habit the place. Every com munity has its ups and downs, its sunshine and its clouds, before It ever reaches the real helghth of Its possible attainments. When all Is well and money Is free, as It is on Coos Bay now, any body should bo able to prosper. But the real tax will come when, in the natural course of affairs, discourage ments will present themselves. This will bo the test which men will be put to. Somo may give up and leave but the stronghearted will take cour age and go through the stormy days and win. The utllmatc success of Coos Bay as an Important port on the Pacific coast cannot be doubted by any who have studied the situation but she will heve her unfavorable and stormy seasons. These must be weathered and real courage and faith In the fu ture must bo made a force. No big City was evor mado without trouble of many different kinds and tho men who can make big cities are those who are able to face, bear up under and corfquor tho difficulties and dis couragements that arise. It will take but little inquiry to ascertain that the well-to-do men on Coos Bay today aro those who havo gone through so-called slumps and profiting by the weaknesses of the falt-hearted. Communities are In their growth but little different from tho child after all. A town of two or three thousand Is ausceptlblo to weakening conditions that would not affect a town of six thousand. So It Is al ways and tho town that will soar city-ward with no diminution of apeed is yet to be discovered. Tho child goes through attacks of mea sles, whooping cough and scarlet fovor, If It is strong enough and has good nursing and care. Likowlso tho growing city must havo its sick spoils and must bo carried through those stages by tho confidence of tho cour agous and tho bravo. Tho weak must ho nursed by tho strong and It Is up to men to bo strong at tho critical moment. DOING THINGS If thero is any class of people wo all admlro, It Is that which is made up of peoplo who really do things when they start out. Tho C. A. Smith company, judging from lta operations on Coos Bay, may well oomo under this class. Tho company has said what It will do In general and Is proceeding to carry out tho plans. When anything specific Is announced to take place In tho wny of improvements it soon materializes. In short this company does things and that is what we want. If thoro Is a weo bit of criticism to lay against Marshfield as a city, It Is that sho somotlmes shows an inclination to start things with all enthusiasm and good lntont and then becomes lax when tho final effort is needed. Pro crastination Is dangerous in a city that is expected to grow rapidly. It Is action that Is' needed. Dreams and plans are of no avail If thoy are novor carried out. Tho peoplo who do things are the ones who really help, not only for what they do but for tho push thoy give to others. Tho Smith company must bo credlte Y. M. C. A. NEEDED The Oregon Agriculture college at Corvalils has started a campaign to raise $6,000 by May 20 for a Y. M. C. A. The cause is a good one and tho same thing should be furthered on Coos Bay. A Y. M. C. A. in Marshfield would be a fine thing and easily would bo supported. There Is in this city absolutely no place for young men to go outside of their homes but saloons and billiard halls. There Is no library and no place to rest or read In comfort. In tho city live many young men who havo no home further than a room in a boarding house and they feel the want of a place to spend their even ings and leisure hours. Tho benefits of a Y. M. C. A. aro national In reputation. The need of one In a place like Marshfield Is greater even than in a large -city. It does not mean that those who join it must be church members but the chief aim is to provide for tho young men a pleasant club where they may find comfort, recreation, reading mat ter, physical exercises and clean moral surroundings. For such a movement the com panies employing a large number of men, in fact any employer, could well afford to contribute. It would mean better employes and better young men. Youth will seek and find amusement of some kind, and If the right sort is not presented the more evil will be accepted. NEW MAN IN FIELD Tho North Bend Harbor has been sold by Messrs Sain and Keith and A. Whisnant is in charge of the plant and will move it from Pony Inlet to the business portion of the city where he can work to better advant age. Mr. Whisnant comes from the east we 1 ivu'im tiik.l and is a ca pable man. He has a good field for tho weekly of which he has assumed charge and tho Times extends him him welcome and wishes him the best of good fortune in his newspaper un dertaking. Tho Harbor has been in exlsfance for some time and Is a well known weekly In this locality. The Philosopher No Cnusi for Alarm. "There seems to bo a feeling of uncertalnlty in North Bend right now," remarked a man the other day. "I understand a few people have left tho city and that others aro preparing to do likewise. This scorns to be a foolish move on any one's part. Because a strike has occurred and the subsequent labor trouble, and also becauso a fow build ing projects have not been carried Into Immediate execution, are not sound reasons why peoplo should get disheartoned. "That North Bend is a trifle quiet thero is no question. But there Is a question as to whether It Is any more so than any other town of equal size on tho Pacific coast. Tho great trouble Is that peoplo havo come In hero expecting to place a few dollars and then stand back and watch thorn double and treble each succeeding day. Now that there Is a little lull, compared with conditions throe months ago, tho contrast appears to havo stunned them. I've soon a good many towns grow to cities and In variably tho history Is well punctuat ed with the ups and downs called slumps." Changed the Label. It Is ascertained that if tho ques tion of having saloons In Coqulllo evor comes to a vote ono lawyer on Coos Bay will glvo his hearty sup port. Tho reason for this action is found in tho following lines. Tho professional man found It necessary to join the exodus of his Coos Bay il LUhdiy MARStUIELD TUBEND Mean A frNOfl Allwork now wne at thdNkth Bend Plant Edgar MauzW AswmiarsVneli V North Bend PtonoUU Marshfiefd Phsne 18C brother practioners to tho seat of Coos county last week and knowing of the existing contingency In that city decided to provide against it by carrying a few with him. Ho placed the bottles in a suit case labeled "law books." None of tho bottles were broken In transit and the man and the suit case arrived o. k. In Coqulllo ready to enter with zest into the work. In some unaccountable manner the lettering on the suit case underwent' a change on tho way down. When he arrived the story goes that tho city marshal, ever on the alert, ac costed him thus: "Don't you know It's against the law to bring that stuff In here?" "What stuff?" quired the lawyer. "Aw, come off. That game's been tried before. That'll cost you about flO." Needless to say the lawyer acceed ed to the request of the law. While standfng before the judge he happen ed to glance down at the cause of his misfortunes. The lettering gave forth the Information, "law booze." The lawyer was J. W. Bennett of Marshfield.
