THE KAILROA1) SITUATION.
The railroad situation in any part
of tho United States is at all times
n matter of deep' interest, and the
development of the system of trans
portation is always Indicative of the
progress ot civilization. Railroads
on Coos Day are particularly inter
esting because of their great necess
ity and their almost completo al
Bonce. But 190S seems to promise
tho very best results in this direc
tion. The prospects for the comple
tion of tho Drain road are better
than ever before. Tho people of
Drain feel sure that the Southern Pa
cific will build in tho spring. Port
land people seem to havo no ques
tion about it, and tho report comes
from San Francisco that, In certain
lines of tailroad wdrk men arc being
called for at this early day to go to
work on tho Drain road in connection
with bridges and iron and steel
structures. That tho Southern Pa
cific has always been desirous, since
beginning work, to push the work
to completion, Is denied only by those
whoso prejudices havo prevented
them from investigating tho facts.
Now that all complications are out
of tho way except tho financial, the
company considers this the first of Its
projections to complete, and April
1st of this year will doubtless see the
work begun in real earnest.
But this is not all. Tho electric
railroad which extends up tho Wil
lamette valley Is of standard guage
and Is equal In structure and all
other respects to tho demands of
I "vy traffic. Tho power behind it
13 altogether mysterious, and is
shrewdly suspected of being one of
th strategic names of somo great
transcontinental lino Invading tho
Southern Pacific territory. It is gen
erally believed to bo tho Great North
ern. Nor can its construction bo ex
plr'ned on tho ground that it is
n-crely seeking tho trade of tho val
1 as it feeder, it is believed that
'one and Coos Bay will bo tapped
' ., ho same system, and that It is
of tho roads which aro Inspiring
activity on tho part of the Southern
Pad lie..
While " something lias been said
about tho Moffatt road being extend
ed to this port, tho information is
somewhat vague. Tho Woman's
Mnjazino, published as far east as
Ohio, contains an artlclo which cred
its one of tho citizens of Coos Bay
with boing an agent of tho Moffat sys
tem, to obtain rights of way and
fi chlses fiom North Bend and
. jhlield. Tho people hero havo
not seen any activity In that lino as
yet, but tho Information conies from
Denver that tho Moffatt peoplo havo
raided by stock subscriptions over
5200,000,000 and that their lino is
in proceed westward from Salt Lake
City to Coos Bay. This road pro
i 38 to connect tho gulf with tho
I t.clflc, and Coos Bay Is persistently
assorted to bo tho pioposed Paclilc
tci ailual.
Hut thoro is no quostlon that tho
;:. thwostern and tho Mllwaulceo aro
ei 'ring tho Pacific territory. Tho
Milwaukee is not to bo satisfied with
Seattlo and tho Sound, but Is already
proceeding to Poitlund. Her plans
ai. to reach Sun Francisco also.
T..J same Is true of tho Noithwost
orn, oxcopt that tho Northwestorn is
at present nt Lander, Wyoming, but
t. .j yonr proposes to proceed with
hw woBtorn extension with a view to
c-ipletlng, In tha nonr luture, tho
'. rtost transcontinental lino In
America. It U known that North
. -iuru men have been over tho lino
iu Coos Buy with n lev to submit
n ,; bids for the contract work of
obstruction, and tho Northwestern
nl run trains into the Coos Bay ter
nary by the time the Panama canal
i completed.
A man can excuse meanness In
hlm")lf, but how ho despises it lu
others.

GOOD EVENING. O
"Teach us delight in simple
things,
And mirth that has no bitter
springs;
Forgiveness free of evil done,
And love to all men 'neath the
sun."
Rudyard Kipling.
As to Girls.
I like my freedom, I admit,
My pipe and chat with some old
crony,
But still I am not opposed a bit
To matrimony.
A blessed and a holy state
I know that cannot be disputed.
As for myself, I merely wait
Until I'm suited.
Show me tho girl who's to my mind
(They are not scattered round so
thickly) ,
But show her to me and you'll find
Me acting quickly.
I do not ask for beauty rare,
Or for a bearing proud and stately,
For Intellect I do not care
So very greatly.
If she's not absolutely plain,
And If in her the virtues mingle
In a fair pioportion I'll remain
No longer single.
Yes, such there arc some perfect
gems
Sweet girls with dispositions
sunny.
Tho trouble, though, I find with
them's
They have no money.
The Bachelor.
Tho follow who Is satisfied to wait
for something to turn up is gener
ally turned down.
"Hero's whoro I put my foot in
it," remarked Frank Parsons as he
stopped in the bathtub.

Adam was a lucky man in that his
