Harrimnn whom it holds respon isffW? for what It calls tho system tarie ' ize'-t which Oregon has suf .&irc(l It says, in part, "the power to frrtsite and destroy railroad facilities 'n t 13 part of tho world lies ab snlnlUy In Mr. Harriman's hands." sMicr conceding this ono man such ySuSl power it asks, "What is tho 3TOnnly for this systematic neglect -at tho Interests pf Oregon hy our vatliund autocrat? Prayers havo been Ariert 'ad nauseam,' and they havo "bct-'U useless. Is there anything be mJOvu prayer which tho outraged etiTaiiitii'cial interests, of the state can nnv resort to?" But tho Oregonian doc not suggest a remedy. It ad mits Itself all done when prayers are vr. Tho Times suggests a state Ktvilroad which could be leased, but bis remedy the Oregonian de xtiiiinccd as crazy, socialistic and SHra to lead to bankruptcy. Yet the greatest state in this union namely New York rlchebt sand most populous to which all the rcallh of Oregon goes, did not hesi fiatc in 1817 to commence tho con T3lructlon of a canal, three hundred zud fifty miles long, through a wild erness. That was ninety years ago. ifrftw no vestago of wilderness Is left jxihI IE tho state of Oregon had the saniti population to tho squaro mllo 41ml New York (half Oregon's size) Smslt would havo 10,000,000 people. Jtl was n government and a state en ioerpriso. President Jofferson said: V,ou talk of making a canal threo jMindred and fifty miles through ATua wilderness. It la llttlo short of swrwlness to think or it at this day." Ttics the Oregonian think It posslblo itar Oreffon to do as well as tho peo yOn of Now York did? They made OiHr stale tho greatest In tho Union. Oregon ean make herself tho greatest jut Iho west. Does tho Orogonian fivnnl n romedy which Is better than 'tyniying to "OITIt AUTOCKAT?" Is Sio "OUR AUTOCRAT?" Can't the 'Oregonian think of a real remedy? Tho construction of the ISrlo canal vvaa ill Tery great ontorprlso In Its fciy. New York state had, at that ftliiuj a amaller population than Ore gon and New York City had a small er population and less wealth than rui-tlund has today. Remedy? You wouldn't chnrge Now Yorkers of 3LS17 with being socialists even -fclKiuch you might say with Joffer- jjhu that they woro crazy, it would jaftt Tib nnywhoro near as much of a Iircani to build a stnto railroad as it ?i to proposo a canal for Now York siatu In IS 17.

Perhaps tho Or. -rnlnn would, If tho matter were ariilHe'antly Important to discuss It, Tin "on I h fact Hint tho canal has Sir. , at times, corruplly controlled.

Surpassing coffee at tho Mol-arose. w ith the Toast asad Tea GOOD HVKXING Do not keep tho alabaster boxes of your love and tender ness bcaled up until your friends are dead. Fill their lives with sweetness. Speak approving, cheering words while their ears can hear them, and while their hearts can be thrilled and made happier by thorn; tho kind things you mean to say when they are gone say before they go. Tho flowers you may mean to send for their coffins, send to bright- en and sweeten their homes be- fore they leave them. If my O o friends have alabaster boxes laid away, full of fragrant per ,fumos of sympathy and affec tion, which they Intend to break over my dead body I would rather they would bring them out in the weary and troubled hours, and open them, that I may be refreshed and cheered by them while I need them. I would rather Havo a plain coffin without a flower, a funeral without an eulogy than a life without tho sweetness of love and sympathy. Let us learn to annoint our friends be- forehand for their burial. Post mortem kindness does not cheer tho troubled spirit. Flowers on tho coffin cast no fragrance backward over life's weary way. Selected. Look Pleasant. Look here you grumpy old growler, Why nro you croakln' so much? You're a gloomy dismal howler, Spoiling every thing you touch. Round up all that bunch o' trouble An' corral It for a while Let your bottle spirits bubble, De an optimist and smile. Ro it fair or gloomy weather, Don't you get moroso and blue Don't allow the white feather To wavo In triumph o'er you. Don't forever be talkin' 'Bout tho ills that on you pile; Quit your pessimistic snuawkin' Be an optimist and smile. Durn it man, keep a-peggin, Don't you over lose your hope; You'll win out if you keep a leggln' Though in doubt you now may grope, Como old scout, pretend you're happy. Though your heart Is full of guile; Keep your spirits bright and snappy. Bo an optimist and smile. E. A. Brimstool. A Coo's Bay man complains since ho got a new typewriter that it can't spell any better than he does him self. Tho gentleman with tho cloven hoof You'll find as sure as death A-keeplng company with tho man That's got the cloven breath.

"Stowavd, how long will it ho be fore wo get Into tho harbor?" asked a pnsson-T on tho nreakwater tho other day. "About an hour . and a half, ma'am." "Oh, dear, I shall dio heforo then." "Vory Jlkoly, ma'am; hut. you'll be all right again when you've boon on shore ton minutes." ho replied. Respect for tho Pioneers. It looks odd to sgo a comotory right In the mlddlo of a town," said tho traveler who was walking up and down the station platform while the train hands were trying to pacify a hot box. "Why don't tho people here move it outside tho corporation limits?" "Woll It's this way, mister," r mnrkod tho vlllagor sitting on tho nail keg. "That's an old part of town, and tho folks that's In that cemetery settled there first. AVe cnl'Iate we hain't got no right to make 'em git out." Chicago Trib une, i GOOD KVKXIXG. When a man can't afford cl- gars, ho "hits" the pipe contlnu- ally to keep from worrying about it and because It Is cheap- er. Cartoon Was Appropriate. Saturday's issue of the Coos Bay Times contained a cartoon that was vory appropriate. It was headed "How Long, Oh! Fenton, How Long!" and under it wns the picture of a broken down horso hitched to a wagon ready, to fall to pieces in front of tho postoffice, and it was raining only as it can in Coos county.
