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!

X DIES FROM EFFECTS X
X OF HER FIRST BATH X
IN NINETY YEARS X
X X
BELLEFONTAINE, Ohio,
Jan. 31. To tho first bath
since her childhood days, physl-
clans hero ascribe the Illness
which ended the life of Mrs.
Nancy A. Neaston, 95 years old,
recently. '
She was taken to the Logan
county infirmity solno weeks
ago from her home in Mcnroo
township and there was forced
to plunge into a bathtub of
warm water and soapsuds. She
protested vainly.
"I have not been In water
since a child. I took my last
bath in St. Mary's rlvqr 90
years ago and I can't stand
water now!" sho cried.
A chill came over her soon
after she emerged and she took
to her bed with what the physl-
clans pronounced pneumonia,
dying recently.
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.
