However severely men may bo In clined to denounce the methods of hanking which have been developed in Oregon by Its loose banking laws, and whatever opinion they may hold as to tho security which the Oregon Trust & Savings Bank of Portland furnished for tho Investment of the depositors money In the Home Tele phono company, tho courage, honesty and strength of character shown by Its whilom president In putting his private fortune at the disposal of the receiver to make good tho bank's liabilities, is not only exceptional but reflects on him the highest glory. Tho people of Portland would fle blind Indeed If they did not seo and appreciate tho vlrtuo of such action. Many men under similar circum stances havo taken measures to pro tect auch prlvato fortunes by conceal ing them in view of possible catas trophles. Not so with President Moore. This ago of speculation Is one which has blinded men too often to tho requirements of a high moral standard. Dishonesty has been greatly Induced by the disposition of tho money-mad world to get rich as quickly as possible and to equal In fame and power tho possessor of swollen .fortune, accumulated under suplclon. The hypoccrlto with his uncountable millions, bending tho knee beforo tho splrltural altar on Sunday and stealthly lobbing his fellow woshlppers tho other six days, has inado tho art of acquiring wealth ono of tho most disgusting concolvo able. Tho good face and tho hollow or rotten heart, the sweet smile and tho crafty grafting mind, tho fair promlso, and tho malicious, damag ing He, are tho twin daughters of that system of prlvato graft which makes tho billionaire. Tho ex president of tho Oregon Trust & Sav ings Bank Is a refreshing example of a different sort. Tho world needs something better than a guinea or dollar sign of respectability The highest claim President Roosevelt lias to reputation and tho admira tion of all good citizens in that ho has aided materially In his high of fico ns president In showing tho hol lowness of corrupt fortunes and dis honest standards. If American youth can bo tnndo to appreciate tho Jact that honor and a clear con science Is bettor than millions In money, this republic will survive. Wo havo no feeling of pessimism In this regard cither, becnuso wo be llovo tho purpose of this lepublic Is such and tho Intelligence and moral ity of tho peolo, when they stop to think, Is so great, that nothing can check for long the dovoiopment to--wurd tho higher civilization. DRAIN ROAD PROSPECTS. Private ndvlcea received by tho Times from a sourco which it regards as authorltativo nro to the effect that tho Southorn Pacific company has ovory iutontion of completing the Drain branch to Coos Hay ns soon as it can get ontiroly rid of tho compli cations duo to tho Loss falluro. Tho construction work has boon delayed by tho unexpected action of some of Loss's partners whom tho com pany find It dllllcult to shako off. But tho compnny has sonio three hundred won at work on county roads and bridges preliminary to actual con struction and expect to lot tho con struction contracts ns soon as the Loss settlement can bo mado. It Is stated thnt when tho company bo sfris again in earnest tho work will ho pushed as vigorously ns men and money can do It. It Is hoped that this advance- will bo posslblo In a Tory short tlmo and that consider able construction can bo completed In extruding tho grades toward the head of navigation on tho Umpqua ltoce tho winter rains sot in, and tho tuunol work will ho rushed as fast as posslblo during the rainy sea son. Thoro Is no ground for tho suspicion that the road has been abandoned or that it will be and it Is the posltlro design of the com pany to proceed down the coast be yond Coos Bay and ultimately to San Francisco. In official circles of the company the road Is regarded as one of the most Important in the entire scheme or construction in the west. The people of Coos Bay are cer tainly pleased to learn tho facts stated and will bo better pleased to see the work actively proceeded with. But after all, they have composed themselves to any action or failure to act which may affect tho future. They are not waiting for any road, but prlvato enterprise is going for ward with great enthusiasm and ac tively planning and building a city Tho Improvement of the harbor and the work of providing roads and lo cal transportation facilities are pro gressing and there never was a time when the people felt as hopeful of the future as they do today. With out railroads the city of Coos Bay will get at least 15,000 people and signs point to that result In a com paratively short period. Every steam er and stage is loaded with people who havo heard the call of Coos Bay and are coming to respond to It. Other railroads are proposing to en ter Coos Bay and thus we can keep on "sawing wood." promlso whereby North Bend can have the only hotel and Marshfield tho only cemetery. Or perhaps we might arrange to locate a cemetery between the two cities somewhere and bury all the hotel promises which havo dropped dead hereabouts In the last year or so. That cemetery would soon be overstocked, no doubt. The wish that tho report about North Bend's hotel were true Is strong within us. For a moment let us treat It as a belief. "It's Payroll Talks" and "It Will Bo Built," "The Money Is Nearly All Subscribed," "It's a Go This Time." But North Bend and Marshfield are In the state of Oregon. Killed By bars. Albany, Ore., Sept. 2. A switch ing train backed into a wagon con taining eight harvest hands. All Jumped to safety with the exception of Truax, who was crushed under the wheels and fatally Injured. NORTH BEND TO THE FRONT. "Once more into the breach, dear friends." Coos Bay Is to have a hotel, after all. The Times makes this state ment on tho assurance of ane who knows. It Is to cost $75,000 and is to be located in North Bend. It Isn't built yet, but It will be. No doubt that many people will receive this announcement with some sus picion of doubt and we wish It wore possible for us to dispose of such suspicion summarily, but when we look down tho long list of "It Will Bo Built" and view tho ghosts of tho "Might Havo Been" wo can not easily arouse tho proper amount of enthusiasm. Wo can not even digni fy our wishes into hope. A $75,000 hotel In North Bend would be a good thing for tho entire Bay. Possibly wo might make some sort of a coin- Mr. Bell OfT for Portland. Seymour H. Bell left Marshfield yesterday for tho outside over the Drain stage route. He will visit Portland and Tacoma. New Sunday School Organized.
