Oregon. AVIIifi I'USH IT THROUGH. The proposition to build an elec tric line from Roseburg to Coos Day with Dougles and Coos county capi tal seems to meet with the general approval of the people of this lo cality. There Is every assurance that the scheme will he carried through. The Roseburg people are ready to do their part, and the movement has been taken up here with the proper spirit, and the right kind of men have hold of It and will push It through. The Myrtle Point and Coqullle peo ple want the road to come through their cities, and the Coos Bay people feel the same way about It. The Co qullle valley Is a rich agricultural district, and that is the best route for the road. This electric line will mean much for Coos Day, and Roseburg as well. It will give the Interior a good outlet to a harbor and will bring business to Coos Day. This is the natural outlet for the whole southern part of the state, and the electric lino from Roseburg Is the first step toward making the connecting links which are needed for the betterment of the coast country and the Interior. 1SUILDIXG IS G1CXI0IIAL. Mnrshfield is having a great build ing boom now. One can hear In any part of the city the ring of the ham mer, and look In any direction and see new houses and buildings going up. There are now In Marshfield at least twenty new houses in the course of construction, besides many others which will be started soon. There aro quite a number of big business blocks to be erected, in addition to thoso which havo been finished and which aro now being built. The city was a llttlo slow about getting stnrted In building, but when the start was once made the building has rapidly increased. It seemed to break out all over the city at the samo time. This, howover, Is only the beginning, and if tho material can ho procured there promises to bo a constant increase In the building of ninny houses and business blocks. It Is not a mero boom, but simply tho meeting of tho demands of tho constantly Increasing population. A HKAIiTIIV PLACE. Tho statistics of the state board of health, mention of which Is made in another column, show flnttoring conditions In Coos county. This Is certainly uu actual evidence of the fact that tho Coos Hay country Is a healthy place. There aro not many counties in any part of tho country that can make such a showing. The Philosopher All ArtlllWnl. In the every day places vheie tho average man would least suspnet anything but tho ordinary routine of business to rovolvo daily In hun drum fashion aro really found the fundamental philosophies of life. We chanced In a tailor shop tho other day and walked back to tho table whore tho man with tho noodle set in Hindoo fashion busily plying the Instrument backwards and forwards sldowlsu and lengthwlso, gradually bringing into sliapo and form, with tho Infinite ease borno of long pract ice, an elegant finished garment from out of n few yards of cloth. A tailor Is a sort of human-geologist, if such freedom may be pormttted In tho uso of tho word. Some soy Is Is because ho makes a business of studying the humps and bumps of the human frame, and, knowing the oxterlor, comes to have a sort of preternatural luaitcht into the interi or. Some give other reasons but all tend to the one opinion thai the tail or is in a distinctive class as a plill OKuphi v On the ilftv mentioned the p.irile ular tailor in quction was In an un usually philosophical mood and the conversation soon turned to the foibles and weakness of mankind in general. "There 'alnt very many people In the world of the real stripe any more," said the tailor lighting a match to the tobacco in his short, stubby pipe and hardly suspending for a moment the sewing of a seam In the sleeve of the future coat dur ing the operation. "For that matter there never rias been. The whole game's a farce artificial. Men have a variety of different masks for every occasion and it Is rare indeed when a view behind the mask is obtained. When a man goes down to his office In the morning he dons the business mask; when he goes to the club he dons the good fellowship mask; and at the reception or ball he masque rades under the social domino. It all comes down to the fact that life Is a burlesque. "Your wife dies. Your friends greet you with just the proper mix ture of sympathy and quiet reserve. Not too much or too little of either there Is the same science there that the chef uses In the mixing of the Ingredients of the dinner cake. "The minister steps In the pulpit for the Sunday sermon. Note the air of welghtiness tempered to the proper state with carefully prepared words and phrases. "Play evesdropper at tho ladles' pink tea or sewing circle and you will steal away under the spell that everything In this big beautiful world Is 'charming.' You might steal back after the meeting has dispersed and find what a horrible gown Mrs. Jones wore or what poor taste Mrs. Smith displays In the selection of her bonnets. But It Is time to close up." BUILDING (Continued from page 2.) opinion that it will make a much more desirable residence than If fin ished In the usual way. The exterior will also be first class.
