TIMES Mirtbfield - Oregon A BRIGHT OUTLOOK The columns of the Times of the 2Gth Instant contained a report show ing that the business done in C003 Bay cities during the holiday sea son of 1907 was larger than ever bofore done on the bay at Christmas time. Whatever may be the condi tion of affairs, financial or Industrial, elsewhere, in this locality and In these cities, they are excellent and have experienced no setback. The saw mills and wood working factories aro worked to their fullest; the new mills which aro in process of com pletion will be operated to their ful est capacity when done. In addition to all this many very notable fact ories will be established as an ad junct of the Smith mill and this will bo done during the year 190S. As a basis for the prosperity which is expected and an explanation of the unusual prosperity of the year 1907 these new and old producers of wealth the pay roll makers of North Bend and Marshfleld are not to be discounted. They are sure, sound and safe and no man can make a mis take in casting his lot on Coos Bay whether the rest of the country is dull or booming. It has been urged that the presi dential election of 1908 will probably make things dull. Perhap-, but not on Coos Bay. The year 190S will be the best tho Coos Bay cities have ever known. Besides tho completion of tho Smith mill and its associate fa cilities, the Simpson mills are also Iq be greatly enlarged and the Porter mill will have a capacity of one hun dred and fifty thousand feet per day. That this will add to the population of North Bend materially is as cer tain as that tho Smith mill with its capjcity of li.'O.OOO feet per daj und its new factories will doubk Marehfield's present population. These are not merely proposed enter prises which form the basis of the Coos" Bay man's expectations. They aro actualities and cannot be check- MiL ' ft!) ' -, The year 190S is sure to soc building operations commenced and uarrl-ul forward which will make ihoso f 1907 appear small. Tho new Williams building and tho new Chan dler hotel, one of cement and tho other of brick will be constructed in I DOS and the "Rogers building, the FlRnagan & Bennett building and the new First Trust and Savings Hank building on C street will also Ut cuijipleted for occupancy by spring. J 'nt hundreds of houses will be nedf.t for tho many people who must won: Jn tho mills and who must be eiuplnjcd in building tho city. All this will ))( a necwaltv which no dull condition of the wor Idboyond C003 Kay cua much disturb. Indeed, it is v;ry lilvl that tho Coos Bay country Hill scarcely feel hard times and its cities will grow up to their natural stature- while others stop growing for a while Coos Bay's peculiar good fortune is Unit she has reached a time -yvhen alio must grow as all tho r.t of the country demands It. Bo s!'?r r" this thero is a well defined roport 1'iiit IlajTiman interests in tei'fl to ash tho Brain road to com p. lop 1908. It will not prevent Coo Lay from expanding If the Brain assailants of existing evils aro opti mists, while many of the most pro lesslunal conservative) are pessimists. Aud that cncum.jta.ice points to .he often overlooked fact that- It-la ihe hopeful citizen who carries the uanner of every succesful reform in ..his country. Ho believes that evils can be remedied and wrongs righted, while frequently, his opponent la the person whose conservatism is really stubborn hopelessness. Tho saving grace of America Is optimism. The resilient and regnant spirit of the nation Is hopefullness. While It Is common these days to speak of "lack of confidence," it Is only the chronic pessimist who does not have ultimate confidence, and who does not realize that, in the very nature of things, our country is the paramount country of confidence. American optimism is based on tho solidest foundation on this planet. No observer can travel a day's jour ney anywhere in America without marking the stupendous extent of unused land and material, says an exchange. We are a young country and a young civilization. And the greatest vindication of American optimism is that It ex presses itself not in the "What's the use?" attitude, but in doing battle manfully for better things and the larger human welfare. American optimism is rising to the present occasion and rapidly taking command of the crisis. t t t WITH THE t X TOAST AND-TEA- t t t li GOOD EVENING Happiness, perhaps comes by the grace of heaven, but the wearing of a happy counten- nance, the preserving of a happy meln, Is a duty, not a blessing.

The appointment of the Oregon con gressman to membership In these two important committees is regarded in Washington as a distinct honor to the new member from the West. LOVE LIVES ON AFTER DEATH College Maid Gets $::o.OOO Estate of Her Mother's Rejected Suitor. Faithful through life to a woman he loved as a youth, Colonel Isaac Wing, Lincoln, Neb., decently de ceased, specified in his will that his estate of $20,000 go to the daughter of the woman who rejected him. Miss Katherlne Uiuenhouse, a stu dent at Northwestern University, says tho Chicago Tribune, is the one to profit by the undying devotion of her mother's former suitor, who had passed through life unmarried. Back of the dry legal verbiage of Colonel Wing's last will and testament, which bequeaths all ho possessed to a girl he had never seen, lies a romantic story seldom found, save In the lore of the Elizabothan writers, when young men sighed when they fell In love, when love never died, and when it was tho greatest thing in all the world. Not until the will of Lincoln's resi dent was opened did those even who knew him best .discover that hidden amid the sombre colors of his bach elor life were tints of the most pas sionate romance. The girl student, who never had heard or seen her unusual benefac tor, has been advised of the strange caprice fortune had played her. Plant a little pleasantness in the path of life; Plant a little happy-heart in the fields of strife: Plant a little smlle-of-faco on tae windy heather Pleasantness and hippy-heart, smllo-of-face together. i Plant a little kindly-deed In tho toll ing garden, On the little window-box with its dol-ly-varden; Plant a little helpin.7-an.l. till ab wo tho shadow All Is bloom of beauty smiles, June sweet in tho meadows. Plant tho seed of cheerfulness up and down tho street, Cast on every barren life that you chance to meet Helping-hand and kindly-deed, cheer fulness till yonder, All the world be glorified with the bloomy wonder.

Many new buildings are being planned for Marshfleld next year and they will all be needed. What more appropriate New Year's present could you make to a distant friend than a year's subscription to The Times? Herman Wise is the "name of an Astoria merchant and in his adver tisements he advises the people not to be foolish. A little Coos Bay lad was being taught his A 3 C's. After a long struggle he was asked what came after G? He thought for a moment and then answered "Whiz. Gee whiz." "Johnny," said a Coos Bay father to his greedy offspring, "you are like a pig. Do you know what a pig is?" "Yes sir," answered Johnny, "a pig is a hog's little boy." The Reta is out of commission on account of being out of wood.

Renew your hunting licenses at tho GUNNERY. All hunters; licenses cxpiro Tuesday, Dec. 31. John Vrles, a Hollander making New York state his home, arrived In this city yesterday from Roseburg after the most exciting trip of his career. "I will never forget It as long aa I live," he said. "How soon can 1 get out of town?" And Mr. Vrles, who came to tho west to look over dairy land, left this morning thoroughly disgusted. He was asked to wait a day or so to see what Coos County really had, but no, he must get out at the first opportunity. "Nothing could Interest me In a place where they would stand for such traveling as I experienced com ing over from Roseburg," ho said, In his Dutch mess of language, and the people In the Blanco hotel lobby list ened and laughed. He was asked If ho didn't see some good dairy land on his way over. "Yes, there was plenty of dairy land," ho said, "but do you think I want to milk cow3 in a boat?" Vrles described how ho reached the city from Robeburg. He started on the stage for Myrtle Point, but fin ished up by walking. Wherever tho mud was deepest ho was compelled to get out and wade In it, he said, and over a dozen times had to get behind the stage with the other passengers and push it out of the water which readied above the axels. Several tinies he had to take off his shoes and stockings to wade through the deep mud and water. The horses would be unhitched and the women passengers carried on their backs to a dry spot. The driver would then assist the passengers in bringing the mail to the dry place and last of all would come the haul ing of the coach out of the mud with tlie assistance of the passengers and horses. Vrles Anally got to Myrtle Point after two days had been spent on the trip, and from this point he secured a team and managed to get to Co- quille.t From the latter point he drove 'to the high laud this side of Coquille where the trains have been stopping and then arrived in Marsh fleld, where ho was advised to rest up a while. He said that ho would get out of the country first and then rest up permanently. Numerous boosters begged Mr. Vries to wait awhile until the ozone from the ocean and the clams braced his system up so that he could look life more cheerfully in the face. He was asked to wait and see tho Break water and Alliance come in, but doaf to all tears and entreaties he started out by way of Drain this morning. It has developed since morning that Mr. Vrles is unable to leave tho Coos Bay district. The Drain stage is delayed and the first chance to get away will bo on Monday, so Mr. Vrles will get a chance to sop the re sources of this section, in spite of himself.
