Tho old motto or prov erb which Is thus expressed has propped one word and bo far as ILarshflelu is concerned reads "If you want a thing done, do it yourself." That is what happened when the hotel proposition looked so hopeless. Tho people had deponded on outsid ers to come to Coos Bay and build. Tho outsider didn't do it. Then tho people did it themselves and tho tiling is a certainty. Isn't it timo to tako up tho library question now? If there ever was a city which needed a library its name ought to bo Coos Bay. Last year it was suggested that Carnegio might bo Importuned to furnish tho funds. The whole pro position faded and at present tho library Is not only not established tut it isn't even in the air. How would it do for tho enter prising and intellectual gentlemen who wore bo earnest In this really good causo to get busy now. "Wo aro just starting in on tho season of 1907-8. In other cities men and wo men who live in books, Ideas and an atmosphere of refinement and Intel ligence are laying their plans for lec turo courses, ontertaininents, read ings and muslcales. Thoy co-operato lor the purpose. "Why do not tho ilbrary promoters do this? Tho pro posal Is practical and It Is an ef fective way to provide a fund. For instance, Tho Times is awnro of the presence in Marshfield of a young man who possesses unusual endow ments as a Shakespearean scholar ind who Is capablo ' of rendering cither Macbeth, Hamlet, tho Mor ediant of Venice, or As You LIko It, reciting tho lines from memory and portraying tho characters with tho (dramatic power of an actor. Thio 3nng man possesses a professional timining and great talent. Ho is ca pable of holding nn audience, and can bo recommended highly as ouo who has had experience and success. Ho will glvo his services gladly" for one evening free for tho benefit of tho library if tho committeo are Inter ested and caro to nccopt. Other gen tlemen and ladles llvo in Marshfiold who will bo glad to aid with talent In this excellent causo. One will contrlbuto a lecture on nn ontortaln iug subject of travel. Othor3 will arrango a minstrel show which can -veil storm the city. Others still will .furnish specialties along vaudovlllo lines. But If this method is to bo employed, thoso who hnvo charge should commence now to make neces xary arrangements. Wo boliovo that if thoy would provido a course of !ght entertainments of this sort, that it would bo posslblo to canvass lha city and sell tho tickets for two dollars a course. Tho tickets should la offerod and sold through tho eliurchc3, schools and Chntnber of Commerce nnd no doubt sovoral hun dred dollnrs can bo udded to tho jiresent fund. "If you wnnt a thing done, do it." THIO "COOS HAY GRAVEXSTEIX." Tho fruit exhibit nt tho Chamber of Commorco rooms on Front streot has proven many things Which tho people may woll bo proud of. Nor will thoy over bo forgotten, for tho Impetus which lias boon glvon to fruit eulturo will result In making thou sands of acres profitable In this dis trict which havo been considered of doubtful valuo. Ono of tho results of tho oxhiblt has boon to provo that thoro is such a thing in fact as a Coos Bay Gravonstoln npplo. Tho prlzo Vok which was furnished by Mr. Sea man from his ranch near tho head ail navigation on Coos river, is con Riifered by ovorybody, including tho sport Judges who passed upon tho merit? of tho product, to bo tho most aacfect specimen of that npplo over tfcfirbfted, Tho eutiro box is said on indisputable authority, to be a por Jon of the yield of ono treo. It Is tho perfection of the Oravensteln and there has been a general demand by fruit growers for cuttings. from tthe prize treo, for the general propa gation of tho species now to be known as tho "Coos Bay Oravensteln." Not long ago tho Coqullle Senti nel asked rather sarcastically "What this Coos Bay Gravensteln was which Coos Bay papers were saying so much about." It wanted to know if they were the samo apples known as Gravenstelns which were grown so abundantly in tho past and were al lowed to go to waste for want of a market. It also suggested that if the Coos Bay variety was an unusual kind it would be glad to learn more about It so it could advise its read ers to set 6ut some of the trees. It is possible now to say that nothing like this real "Coos Bay Graven stein" has ever been seen before and that the1 peoplo of all sections should try and propagate the same species. Let it not bo forgotten that the best Gravensteln In America is grown west of tho Cascade mountains where j the climatic conditions are inimical j to pests and where the flavors aro perhaps improved-by the moist con ditions of atmosphere near the salt sea. But the remarkable color, size, flavor and form of the prlzo box ex cel anything else. EXHIBIT TO BE A PERMANENT THING slder it worth while to address any advertising to you evldontly has a reason for the omission. Tho non-advertlslng store may be self-complacent enough to imagine that because you have been a pat ron you will always bo, whether or not any effort Is made to retain your good-will. It may consider that It costs too much to tell you, through advertising; of the things it has to offer; or, it may not have anything new to offer! In any event, tho store that doe3 not advertise does not worry about you so you should give no more consideration than you receive. I The Steamer You should try Gasene Soap to really appreciate tho ease and satis faction with which a largo wash can bo dispatched. Dr. J. G. Goblo, the well known optician, of Medford, Ore., will visit all Coos Bay towns during Sept. For dates see this paper later. Dance at Sumner, October 5. Chamber of Commerce Will Foster Present Show nnd Add AVood and Coal. Almost as many people visited the Chamber of Commerce hall and viewed the exhibits yesterday as on the preceding day. There was a con stant stream of visitors from the tlmo tho doors opened in" tho morn ing until they closed last night. The exhibits aro practically all In place yet, flowers included, and everybody will bo welcomed again today. In fact, it is the purpose of the Chamber of Commerce to build up a pprinancnt exhibit, and tho ex hibits now on display will be kept as long as possible, and new ones added as they can bo collected. Yesterday a largo pumpkin, perfect In form and of extraordinary weight for Its Size was brought in by J. D. Clinkenbeard. It Is tho purposo to build up tho C003 county coal and wood exhibits to moro fitly represent the country. A nucleus has been furnished by samples of coal from the Beaver Hill mine sent in by Mr. Chandler and L. J. Simpson has supplied a good speci men of woods by sending the revolv ing doors exhibited at the Lewis, and Clark fair. Tho North Bend Sash & uoor factory has contributed sam ples of mrytjo boxes. Mrs. J. T. McCormac has also added to the col lection of woods a highly polished specimen of myrtlo and the myrtle stand made by Mr. Sackott is still on exhibition, Flowers have been prom ised to replace tho attractive floral display ns tho ones on hand wither and fresh npples and vegetables will also bo added to tho display this week. Mr. L. A. Desmond of Highland, Cal., unless suddenly callod home, "has been secured to lecture before tho chamber Friday night. Mr. Des mond was president of tho Highland chamber of commorco and Is full of tho southern California spirit and a talk that will bristle with practical tnoughts and enthusiasm may bo expected.
