Addrcss All Communications to COOS J5AY DAILY TIMES HariWitlJ - Oregon A GOOD PLAN' It i3 nlway3 a pleasure to listen to. Major L. J. Simpson, of North Bend, vlien ho speaks of the materi al, interests of Coos Bay and it is especially so when he voices in his clarion tones and with tho promise of( hia personal action, the editorial sug&catiua made by tho Times that a delegation from Coos Bay should go tor Washington and urgo with their utmost energy the appropriation of tho1 aums recommended for the ini prmcnuut of Coos Bay. Mayor Simpson Is not only a man of excel lent peisonal attractions and com manding ability but he has the ma terial interests and financial back ing to make him a power, and his patriotic adherence to the cause of progress on Coos Bay endears him to all LUo people of tho bay. Major Simpson and Mr. C. A. Smith, have tho largest active in dustrial Interests on tho bay and their Interests will bo greatly im proved by any improvement which may bo made in our harbor facilities. If i4 gratifying to learn that they huvu agreed to go to Washington when tho proper time arrives and personally attend to tho presentation of. Coos Bay's needs to tho committee on rivers and harbors. It Is hoped that In so doing they will realize that members of congress and senators, who have much Interest in Coos Bey are. also Interested in a thousand and oner matters which may be, in their estimation, even moro important. Committees tako up questions affect ing: localities very much as courts tako up cases. If tho interested part ies are not present tho caso is strick on off. Coos Bay will be very fortun ate In having theso two very able buslnesn men in Washington to ap- jiear before the proper committee, Tescua tho reports and Information affecting Coos Bay from tho oblivion of departmental alcoves, and placo thu raut:i before tho commlteo effect ively. TIMES WILL BE BUTTER. Let those who aro disposed to re gard, tho present llttlo Interference with the progress of business matters tako the tlmo to remember that a country tho slzo of tho United States and. with its immense, illimitable re sources cannot long remain In tho industrial "dumps." Thero aro too many of us bore, thero is too much to do, Its varied in terests aro too numerous for a stand still policy to have any inning of long duration. There is too much of a demand for our productH abroad as woll as among our own peoplo for a porlod of idle ness to aflllct us long. Tho crops of tho farms last year aro estimated by Secretary Wilson to bo worth $7,500, 000,000! And can a peoplo bo long depressed under such conditions as theso? Under such conditions as theso it is na impossible to support a porlod of hard times, or to have It at all, as to do any other absurd or Impossible thing. Tho only trouble at this tlmo is a lack of money in circulation not a scarcity of It in oxlstonco. Precisely as soon as our peoplo aband on tho hoarding habit, just that soon will their financial trouble eeaso. A thousand dollar hoarded is tho -same ns n thousand dollars destroyed bb long as tho hoarding continues. Let go and cheer up!

CARNEGIE TO SAVE COAL MINERS' LIVES Philanthropist Makes Practical Move For Benefit of Toilers Beneath The Crust of the Earth. NEW YORK, Jan. 31. Arthur A. Hamerschlag, director of the Carne gie technical school, Pittsburg, to which Andrew Carnegie has given $6,000,000, sailed upon the Maure tania today, commissioned by Carne gie to study the most approved meth ods of mining coal abroad, also as to the machinery used and other mstb ods taught in the great technical mining schools of Europe. Carnegie's purpose In sending Hamerschlag on this mlssison is ex plained by the fact that tho coal mines in the United States have been killing three times as many men for every 1,000 employed as In Europe. That was indisputably proved by ex perts, who gathered data for 1906 for the government. By applying European methods in this country, Carnegie hopes to re duce the casualltles rate in American mines. EVER SEE A SYZYGY? Oklahoma In Throes of Controversy Over New Word. KINGFISHER, Okla., Jan 30. That Oklahoma, although the young est of states, is not defflcient in learn ing and literature Is evidenced by the number of books that have been Is sued from tho press of late by Okla homa authors. Thousands of pounds of literature have been produced in the last few months and the output promises in time to equal that of In diana. The latest production of an Oklahoma savant is a controversial work of a religious nature entitled "God Is," from the scholarly pen of F. S. Jacobs. The work has created a sensation among local literary crit ics and a fierce controversy is raging as a result of It publication. The conclusions of the author aro summed up In the final paragraph of tho brochure, which is as follows; "Through the syzygy wo have out lined hero, relative environment can not bo thought of as defeating affinity in tho absolute. Wo conclude that God is and that inmortality is a fact that the syzygy of abiding places is open to view." Tho principal difference of opinions among tho critics is as to the "syzy gy," some declaring that It is a wild animal, while others insist that it is a now "prohibition" drink. Consid erable alarm Is also felt at the auth or's uso of the word "affinity," the oldest citizens declaring that thero has novcr been a caso of affinity here and that such an implication Is a re flection on tho town.
