jngalls Said Opportunity
Knocks but Once; Hill Says
HIS LIFE PROVES IT
Itnihvny Magnate Fought Ills Way
Upward From fumble Surroundings.
When Jolm I). Ingalls wrote "Op
portunity" lie limited the call of for
tune to one tliiic-y-"tho hour of fate."
James J. llilli so-called master of a
thousand human destinies, scatters
the call of opportunity through life
ns long as there is energy and saga
city. One, the poet and idealist, and the
other, the builder of railroad and
developer of the country, and abovo
nil the practical man, are In direct
conflict.
Hill's Life Story.
James J. Hill's life story of a tre
mendous and winning fight for for
tune through achievements and op
portunity beiran In the Canadian
hamlet of Itockwood, on the Littlo
Speed river, where ho was born 69
years ago. His parents were poor
Irish emmigrants and lived In a log
cabin on the Toronto high road.
In this remote place the futuro
railroad magnate conned his first
lessons as a barefooted school boy.
At 12, when his father died, young
Jim went to work In Passmore's vil
lage storo and studied nights. This
enabled him, for four years, when
there was a big opportunity for an
"experienced shipping clerk" In the
offices of the Dubuque & St. Paul
Packet Line, to say truthfully "thnt
he had been a clerk over four years,"
and get the Job. Having got the Job,
he made good In It.
Nine years later, when he was only
27 years old, he was In business for
himself as a commission steamboat
and railway agent, and represented
the St. Paul & Pacific. From that
time to now the newspapers have
kept tract of him and he stands to
day on a pedestal built of a thous
and successes.
What "success" means to James J.
Hill he here' tells the Sunday Pot
Hlll he here tells in the Sunday Coos
way. The sum of his precept and
example Is:
OIU'OKTrXITY
Master of human destinies am I! .
Fame, love and fortune on my footsteps wait.
Cities and fields I walk; I penetrate
Deserts and fields remote, and passing by
Hovel and mart and palace, soon or late,
I knock unbidden once at every gate.
If sleeping, wake; If feasting, rise
Before I turn away. It is the hour of fate.
And they who follow me reach every state
Mortals desire, and conquer every foe
Save death; but those who doubt or hesitate,
Seek mo In vain and uselessly Implore
I answer not, and I return no more.
JOHN INGALLS.
OPPORTUNITY.
"Many opportunities come to every man. It depends upon him-
self, and upon what he shall make of himself, and what he makes of
opportunities and what they will make of him. A good aim, dill-
gence In learning every detail of your business, honest, hard work
and determination to succeed, win out every time unless crossed by
some exceptional accident or misfortune." JAMES J. HILL.
Opportunity meaning suoccsj, I
scattered everywhere for thoae who
have the sngacltj and energy to
grasp It.
BY JAMES J. IIITjTi,
President of the Grent Northern Huil-
rond.
I have always lived the life of a
Hay Times In his brief and pointed
I mean to drop business ca 'ea en
tirely In the evening and to unite
work, rest and recreation In reason
able proportions. I am fond of both such education as tho best schools
other of life for both children and
parents. It gives happiness to one
and forms the character of the other.
All after life is upon the home life;
from it the first and best and most
lasting education Is drawn. The boy
or girl who is taught there to be
obedient and affectionate and con
siderate of others, to look forward
to making the best of use of what
ever opportunity may bring, and who
receives, after leaving the home,
hunting and fishing and spend u
Bhort vacation each summer on a
salmon river in Labrador
"Tho working days and working
hours aro those in which there is
necessary work to bo done, whatever
time that may require. Spr.ro hours
are well spent upon the stndv of
history, literature and art. What
ever any able mind of urea', genius
has given for th(J Instruction or em
ployment of the world is woith
while. Ample and accurate infornia
tino is the first stop toward suoces
for everyone; and the world of his
toric fact, with the bearings of each
upon the probable future of eai-n
human effort, It Is now so large that
a man will find all his leisure too
little for his desire to equip hlmsplf
with knowledge. In hooks and pic
tures, as In practical things, only the
best are worthy any one's time and
attention.
"Home the Anchor of Life."
"Tho home is the center and an-
and universities have to offer, has all
the preparation for after life that It
is his to give, and one that should
not often fall. This is a method
many centuries old, hut I do not
know that it has ever been improved
upon.
"The best advice to a young man,'
ni it anppars to me, is old and sim
ple. Get knowledge and understand
ing. Determine to make the most
possible of yourself by doing to the
best of your power such useful work
as comes your way. There are no
receipts for success in life. A good
aim, diligence in learning every de
tail of your business, honest, hard
work and a determination to suc
ceed, win out every time, unless
crossed by some exceptional accident
or misfortune.
"Many opportunities come to every
man. It depends upon himself, and
upon what he shall make of opportu
nities and what they will make of
him."
DENIES NEW TRIAL
FOR RICH WOMAN
Dakota Justice Utiles Against
Slayer of Servant
Girl.
Yankton, S. D., Oct. 25. After
studying various documents submit
ted to him to show why Mrs. Emma
Kaufman of Sioux Falls should bo
given another trial before a Jury,
Judge J. E. Smith today overruled
the motion for a new trial. Tho case
will at once be appealed to the su
preme court and every effort will
bo made to save Mrs. Kaufman from
a long penitentiary term for killing
her maid servant, Agnes Polrels.
Mrs. Kaufman Is the wife of a
rich Sioux Falls brewer. Though
she had plenty of money, she never
associated with other women of
means, did not care for reading, and
was called a "strange woman."
In 1905 her husband, Moses Kauf
man, told friends that his wife need
ed a girl for housework. Agnes Pol
rels, 16 years old, the daughter of
an Austrian Immigrant, "was rec
enmmended. Six months lator she
was taken to a hospital from tho
Kaufman residence and died a
month lator. The post-mortem
showed six wounds on the head of
thevgirl, one finger was missing and
there were bruises all over the ooay.
It was proved at the trial of Mrs.
Kaufman that she had repeatedly
beaten tho girl, and death was at
tributed to this treatment.

War Ship to Investigate Recent
Seizure by Japanese
Subjects.
WHAT CHICAGO WOMEN WEAR
Shanghai, Oct. 25. The Chinese
government has ordered the viceroy
at Canton Immediately to dispatch
var ships to Pratas and investigate
a report of Japanese seizure and
proposod colonization of tho little
ihland that nromlses to become a
bone of contention between China
and Japan, the former disputing
the alleged discovery by Japanese
and asserting that It is clearly with
in Chlneso territory
While apparently undetermined
as to whether It Is available pur
poses, tho assertions of the Japanese
who raised their national flag there
that the Island contains great min
eral wealth have attracted tho at
tention of the Pokln government,
hence the orders for the dispatch of
war ships and tho Investigation Is
sued by the foreign office.

Gillette Remains in Custody.
New York, Oct. 2G. Dr. Walter R.
Gillette, formerly vice-president of
the Mutual Life Insurance company,
who was yesterday convicted of per
jury and remanded to tho tombs,
was denied ball in the supreme
court today, pending a motion of
appeal.
During the betwixt and between
days, while plans for the winter's
wardrobe are being carried out, one
has a chance to wear the Juanty
taylor mado suit which during tho
summer was sometnlng of a burden
In weight. Glancing casually around
on a morning's shopping tour gray
silts seem to predominate, yet each
wearer tries out some scheme where
by her own suit mpy not seem alto
gether like that of her closest friend.
All shades of gray seem similar un

rests with the wearer 01 una mv..
color to "dress up" ner ujiijcaiu..w
by a nobby hat. a bright colored tie,
a smart little belt, or a fluffy neck

In these days, when bright colors
aro so predominant in hats, it is not
surprising that gray suits are so ex-

Instance, Miss Agnes Booth was no
ticed one day last week wearing a
gray suit of invisible plaid, topped
by a stunning hat of sapphire blue
silk. It was more than becoming of
her fair coloring, and an added bit
of brightness was lent by two crpshed
American beauty roses which held
several dark bluo feathers in place.
The hat was a largo one, with a high
round crown, and was slightly rolled
back in front to show tho pompadour.

Mrs. Orvll Babcock was another
shopper who wore a gray suit, hers

it a touch of smartness Mrs. Bab-

brim which rolled hack from the
face and was set well off tho pom
padour, and which was trimmed
with a white coque feather which

hat was tightly veiled with black

neck and again on tho hat brim,

"I tell you, if some of the Coos Bay
stores, they would certainly appreciate the

inclined to think that the goods th
what she can get at home, "I never did
Portland last week, and tried to do some sh
select from, of course," she went on, "but
sive, nor the values one bit better than wha
the styles are no prettier, and the prices
women would make a trip to the city
Myers Store, and especially its suit depart
.patrons, who was heretofore somewhat
at she gets away are better than
fully appreciate this store until I was in
opping there, There is a larger stock to
the assortments are no more comprehen-
i we can get right here at home, Then too
are decidedly no lower,"
This statement was made last week by one of North Bend's prominent women,
who had just returned from Portland, We sometime wish that more of the fair sex
of this vicinity could get a glimpse of the city stores, their values, styles and prices
We know it would add materially to our benefit for no one can go away and return,
and conscientiously claim the styles in the city are more up-to-date and better and
the prices lower than what we are offering, There is no Portland nor San Francisco
store that has better facilities than we to get the strictly up-to-date wearables for
women, Our fall and winter coats and suits were not made up until fully six to eight
weeks after the famous Parisian Horse show, at which time the pace is set for all fall
and winter styles.

to help you, If we could not give you as good deal as the city stores
we would not ask for your patronagt, Pr$45,00to 1 $15.00
