Till-; PltAYKH IMX
The Oregoninh of recent date con-fjaim-
a very hitter denunciation of
V&r. 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.

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.

It looks odd to sgo a comotory

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

Cartoon Was Appropriate.

vory appropriate. It was headed
"How Long, Oh! Fenton, How
Long!" and under it wns the picture

a wagon ready, to fall to pieces in
front of tho postoffice, and it was
raining only as it can in Coos county.
