NEED PRINTED .MATTER.
Charles S. Fee, passenger traffic
manager for the Southern Pacific,
has referred to the Marshfield Cham
ber of Commerce the name of a man
who has asked for information about
this part of the country. Mr. Fee
added that the railroad receives
many, such Inquiries, but has nothing
In tho way of printed matter to send
ottt regarding Coos Bay.
There Is very little in the way of
publications which can bo sent to
those who want to know of the
place. All cities which are seeking
to bring people have no end of that
sort of thing, hut Coos Bay seems to
bo lacking In printed matter. There
Is nothing to send away unless one
writes a letter and tells what he hap
pens to think of at the time.
There should he some literature
published In an attractive form and
of convenient shape so that It could
bo mailed, and It ought to be gotten
but at sufficiently frequent intervals
to show what Is really going on at
Coos Bay and not tell of conditions
two or three years ago.
GOOD ADVERTISEMENT.
Rinaldo M. Hall, a well known
writer of Oregon, Is visiting Coos
Bay. For a number of years Mr.
Hall had charge of the advertising
work of tho Harriman lines in this
part of tho country, and has gotten
out many haudsome publications
about Oregon and her resources.
Mr. Hall Is here now to gather
facts and statistics about Coos Bay.
Ho Is connected with eastern maga
zines, and has contracted to furnish
a ton thousand word artlclo on Ore
gon. Of this two thousand words are
to bo dovoted to the Coos Bay coun
try, and Mr. Hall is now getting the
material.
Tho benefits of such an article in
an eastern mnguzlne aro vast. Read
ing matter of that kind Is a great
advertisement for a country, and par
ticularly Is It valuable in an eastern
publication.
A PAVING BUSINESS
An Industry that seems to present
n great possibility for tho people in
tho rural districts of the Coos Bay
country is that of poultry raising.
It seems Btrango that more people
do not follow that business. Tho
rough land In tho vicinity Is well ad
apted to poultry raising, tho climate
with its lack of long winters is ideal
and right bore at homo la an oxccl
lont market. Eggs and chickens al
ways command a high price, and
whon in other localities whore no
Bttch prices aro seemed, and where
tho climate and conditions nre much
less favorable, tho Industry Is carried
on profitably, surely hero It would
bo a big paying vocation. Tho mark
et always exists locally, and Port
land and San Francisco offer an al
most luexhaust&blo consumption.
The poultry buslnoss Is one of the
coming Industries of Coos Bay.

''Ilow'd you like to be the ice man
in (ho good old summer time?"
There are a good many people on
Coon Buy who violate that command
ment which speaks of not coveting
their neighbor's good particularly
those who use Ice. Everybody would
like to be the ice ntuu, not only in
the summer but in the winter us woll.
There Is u sort of delightful bohoml
nnism mixed with the calling which
Venders the ordinary rout I no method
of glUug ho much avoirdupois iu re
turn for a momentary stipulation
bluise and uutedated. You pay
moue. it is true oud order bo uiauy

a ui.utei of form. Tho ewts. are rep-re-niit'

Tlu uthi i nun mitt; w w u di.wn
on tho North Bend Wharf. It was
about 11 o'clock. Awaiting the
pleasure of the consignees were sev
eral tags tied to sacks. The tags
were labeled Ice. The Ice, however,
had probably become fretted at its
confinement and a little stream of
water leading to the edge of the
wharf Indicated where It had stolen
softly away to Join its kindred.
That was, to say the least, very
thoughtless of the Ice for it had been
sent on a sort of parole from its
source of origin to the refrigerator
at the other end of the line. The
question was raised as to who was
liable for the cost of tho Ice. There
were apparently no grounds for an
argument because the principal party
to the case had disappeared.
When Coos Bay attains 100,000
people what an important place will
the man with the "tongs" hold. No
common nldormanlc position will he
have. Our lumber kings and coal
barons will be held up to public ad
miration in the columns of the press;
but when the Ice man goes down the
street reverent awestruck whispers
will proclaim fearfully "Here comes
He." When the female branch of the
Rockefeller tree twines In concublal
embrace with the rugged limbs of the
"Ice man's" progeny then might the
shades of the departed Monte Christo
well rise up and say, "The world is
mine."
Hciml It Drop.
"Well," said the young lady with
the sparkling eyes and tho jet black
hair, as she toyed with a piece of
cake, "I believe the Mormon temple
at Salt Lake City Is the most won
derful edifice I ever saw."
"How's that," quired the practical
man, as he uncoupled a piece of
roast beef from his fork and then
masticated the same.
l The young lady gave him a glance
of pity.
' "Haven't you ever heard of the
Jformon temple? It is a grand work
of art and ought to really be classed
among the seven wonders of the
world. Why, the acoustic properties
alone are world famous. I remem
ber when I was there. The guide
went down to the far end, hundreds
of feet in the distance, and then told
us to listen. We waited and heard
tho sound of something as It dropped
on the floor. The guide came back
and Imagine our astonishment when
he told us that he had dropped a
mere pin."
Even the baby stopped prattling
as this most startling of modern
Arabian Night miracles was droned
in their midst.
"Yes, I remember that," said the
practical man. "It was a coupling
pin."
