DKCLIXK!) AGAIN'
President Roosevelt has agalil as
sured the people of tho United States
of his intention to adhere to his
frequently expressed determination
-not to be a candidate for reelection
to tho president In 1908. Those who
outertalned the greatest faith In the
presldsnt and gave him credit for
sincerity in all his aspirations and
mictions, never doubted that he meant
aill the time just what he said. To
them this repetition was unnecessary,
but his typo of manhood 13 so far
nbovo tho average politician's con
ception that It became proper to re
state his unchanged position. There
5s tx high standard of mediocrity
which has been many times clevafod
to presidential honors, but a standard
lilgh above mediocrity nas reached
that position only In a few rare in
stances. It, Is pluaslng to tho pa
triotic American to feel that Wash
ington, Jefferson, John Quiucy Ad
ams, Andrew Jackson and Abraham
Lincoln were men who belonged as
2llr. Roosevelt belongs to a s'phero
sibove more commercialism.
"What tho future may develop with
Tegard to Mr. Roosevelt and the pres
idency is problematical notwithstand
ing his latest publication. The rank
and filo of the republican party are
Slill ready to support him for a sec
ond elective term and do not much
care If It is called a third term. They
Siollave in his uprightness, his Ideal
ity, his Bupercommerciallsm, and his
'disposition and readiness to do
things. lie Is tho kind of man who
rarely over gets first place in this
Order of society, and the people hav
ing found that out are afraid to pat
Wi him lest they have to wait hiU
oi century for another like him. Por
luvps it would be better to say that
they are afraid no combination of
circumstances will occur for titty
.years which will enable a man zo
allp into the chief magistracy whom
'tha politicians do not either own or
feol sure they can control. Nor woul 1
Hsven that bo seriously objectionable
If It wero not true that the politicians
aro mainly tlmcservers who grovel
1)efore tho captains of Industry whose
paid agents they generally are.
President Roosevelt inherited wealth
without being a snob and without
supposing that wealth placed him
above tho rank of manhood. Ho was
endowed with good sense as well as
natural talents and his social posi
tion was equal to that of tho best
without making him feel that per
aoiis occupying less prominent places
wore not fully as entitled to lie pro
tected In their pursuit of lnpplncss
as lie. Tho American people will al
ways adniiro him beca,uso of his per
sonal courngo and becauso he hah
not feared to punish ovil doing as
well as to applaud that which has
merit. Tho president declined to bo
. candidate for reeloction but tho
tBmppr of tho American peoplo Is
uch that he may have to provo hlm
bU great beyond any man of his ago
by Bcr.-pting a more coninleto and
final test of strength and sincerity
still. Tt is not probable that a re
publican convention will nominate
him agaiiiit his wish but tho polit
ical life of the president has been a
feurcessiou of broken precedent and
ft lilitory of lmprobablo but roallzod
avents.

Vise-President Mlllis Rushes to Pott
land Hy Special Train Purl Way
Taking Personal Charge of
Affair.
Considerable Interest has been
aroused over the story of the dam
age recently sustained to the Break
water In Portland and tho quiqk
ness with which sho was repaired
and again put in commission for the
trip. About ten of the steel plates
In her bow wero removed and re
placed by new ones and In considera
tion of this fact sho has made re
markable time In being on her run
as usual.
The accident happened In the
evening, over a week ago, and was
caused by a mistake on the part of
a new assistant engineer on the
steamer. While approaching her
dock In Portland, Captain McGonn
noticed a boat coming out a short
distance ahead and he rang for full
speed astern. The: assistant replied
correctly to this order, but incorrect
ly turned the lever for full speed
ahead, with the result that the
Breakwater ran Into tho other boat
with considerable force. Sho struck
It on a slant, however, or the other
boat would have been sunk. As It
was the Breakwater damaged her
plates in the bow considerably.
Vice-President Mlllis, of the com
pany, was notified of the accident
and in order to rush matters through
so that Coos Bay might not be shut
otf from Portland, as he had heard
that the Alliance was also damaged,
he made all haste to go to Portland.
Ho took a special train to Myrtle
Point and caught the stage line in
time to get to Roseburg the following
day, getting in .Portland a few hours
later.
He immediately had the boat put
in a drydock as soon as she was un
loaded, and not many hours after the
collision the Breakwater was having
new ones put in their place. The
Willamette Iron & Steel Works hand
led the job and Mr. Mlllis gives great
praise to the company for the speed
and accuracy with which it accom
plished the work. The vice presi
dent stayed on the scene until every
thing was ready for the return trip,
the boat taking all the merchandise
offered for transport, and he re
turned on the ship yesterday to re
sume his interrupted duties in con
nection with tho railroad.
When seen this morning Mr. Mlllis
said that the people of the Coos Bay
district should have every attention
from tho company as far as it could
furnish transportation with tho out
side world. Ho is enthusiastic over
the prospects of this Eection and is
confident that tho coal deposits and
other resources of tho district can
not be overrated In boosting the fu
ture prospects of Coos Bay.
The Czarina would be put on the
run between C003 Bay and Portland
or San Francisco In about six weeks,
he said, to carry coal for tho Coos
Bay, Roseburg & Eastern Railroad &
Navigation Company. The Break
wator will also continue to carry coal
from this point. Tho company will
look after tho Interests of the peoplo
on tho bay by furnishing tho Beaver
Hill product to retailers at a low fig
ure, and arrangements are being
made with a local man for this pur
pose. Developing Coal Field.
Superintendent Thomas Russell, of
tho Beaver Hill Coal Company, was
also interviewed this morning and ho
stated that by spriug the mine
would be turning out over two hun
dred tons of coal a day. It is turning
out about eighty tons a day at pres
ent, but tho output will bo moro than
doubled In a few months. Ho report
a depth of four and a half feet of coal
In tho Southport prospect; about six
miles from tho city, and that drilling
in tho center of the Henryvlllo prop
erty Is going ahead rapidly. He as
pects a depth of 1300 feet will be
reached in tho next two mouths.
Ofllciuls of the company are eu-;
thualastic over the bright outlook in '
Coos County and Mr. Mlllis bolievcs
the coal mines are a valuable asset to I
this seotlon. llois optimistic overj
the future growth of tho coal mining,
business and is not bothered at all I
by the recent panic condition of af-f j
fairs which temporarily put a dam
