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.

Happiness, perhaps comes by

wearing of a happy counten-

happy meln, Is a duty, not a
blessing. Bliss Carmen.
THE DECEMBER GARDEN
Congressman W. C. Hawley has
been appointed a member of the
House Committee on Claims and also
of the Committee on Agriculture.
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.

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.
