Tho public libraries have without delay become an essential part of a public education system and are as clearly useful as tho public schools. They arc not only classed with schools, but have generally become Influential adjuncts of tho public schools. Tho number of readers is j rapidly Increasing, and tho character of tho books is constantly improving. Not Infrequently tho objection Is heard that the public libraries are opening the doors to light and use less books; that reading can be, and often is, carried to a vicious and enervating excess, and therefore that the libraries' Influence is doubtful and on tho whole not good. This argument doe3 not need elaborate exposure. The main purpose of tho library Is to counteract arid check the cir culation and influence of tho empty and not infrequently vicious books that are so rife. A visit to any news stand will disclose a world of low and demoralizing "penny dreadfuls" and other trash. These aro bought by boys and girls because they want to read, and can nowhere else be ob tain reading material. This deluge of worthless periodicals and books can be counteracted only by gra tuitous supplies from tho public library. Whether these counteracting books bo Action or lot, they may bo puro and harmless, and often of Intel toctual merit and moral excellence. Tho question is not whether people shall read Action for read it they will but whether they aro to have good Action instead of worthless and harmful trash. Tho tendency to read Inferior books can soon bo checked by a good library. If tho attention of tho children In school is directed to good books, and the free library con tains such books, there will bo no thought of tho cheap news-stand as the placo for finding reading matter. Tho economical reason for estab lishing free public libraries is tho fact that public ofllcors and public taxation manago and support thorn efficiently, and mako them available to tho largest number of readors. By means of a free library thero is tho best utilization of effort and of rosources at a small cost to in indlvlilunls. While a privato library may great ly delight and improvo tho owner nnd his immedlato circle of friends, it is a luxury to which ho and they only can resort. Tho books of a public library ac tively porvado tho community; they ronch nnd aro Influential with very largo numbers and tho utility of tho common possession books Is mul tiplied without limit. LET VS "DO IT." A Now York city, Rochester by namo, has a Chamber of Commerco which has boon working for that city for years under tho slogan of "Do It for Rochester." Evory advertising pamphlet, every business lotterhead Of its enterprising citizons, kept ono thing before tho ,.ple "Do It for Rochester." In t' long run It had a splondld cneci and kept peoplo keyed up to work f' a better city, besides lotting out sldo folks know tho city was alivo nnd doing. Rochester is a manufact uring city, hut hoauty and business huvo boon combiuod In recent years until parks, homos, streets and busi ness sections glvo ovldonco of caro ful and systematic building and beau Hiving. They did it for Rochester. Wo ought to bo ablo to do it for Coos Bay along this line. Just arrlvod on the Alliance; ulcest lino of ludlos' shirt waists and mus lin underwear In the city. Coos Bay With the Toast and Tea The Fall of the Giant. In tho valley by the mountain Stands the giant forest tree, O'er each rival tree top towering, Peering out upon the sea. Sound, round and rugged, In the air so tall, m Straight, great and lordly, Reigning over all. Ever upward bravely reaching Through tho tempest and the swell But his height shall feel the furies And tho winds shall sound his knell. Long, straight and often Blows the fateful blast, Old, bold and sullen Death will come at last. Harken now the wind is bugling Come ye warriors of storm, Plash thou, lightning, firo and vol ley, See the giant lash his arms, Bend, rend and quiver, Bow to thunder's peal. Shock, rock and swivel, See that proud head reel. Lo, the giant torn and tattered Dancing to the wind's mad call, Meekly bowing, backward bending "While his dismal dirges fall. Squeek, creak and crackling Far tho echoes go; Crash, slash and rumble, Smote tho earth a blow. FELIX O'NEIL. Never count your until It is hatched. rainy weather Can't say that winter's backbone is broken on Coos Bay, for it never has any to break. There is a girl on Coos Bay so modest that she will not wear un dressed kids. No Coos Bay gentleman will kiss a girl against her will her lips are much sweeter. O "Where is heaven?" asks tho Em poria Gazettte of Kansas. All roads are heading for Coos Bay. "Everybody loves our baby," sings a poet laureate. What liars the neighbors are sometimes. "Tho wise virgin will throw away her lamp and use gas" is the revised version, according to Otho Hopson. Seymour Bell says that at his elec tric light plant they do not sell cur rents by the bushel, but by the shock. C. J. Mahonoy says tho greatest shock is when you get tho bill. If a man loves his wifo, says a Coos Bay philosopher, he will quit smoking at her request; but if a woman loves her husband, sho will not ask it. o Thero was a young girl from The Haguo Who suffered from Bubonic plague, Tho cause wo declare Was tho rat In her hair; But don't ignore fashion, wo beg, BERT DIMMICK. An eastern magazine asked young women to send a description of what their ideal man would bo like one they would bo willing to accept as a lifo partner. Ono girl, probably with out much experience, but knowing what sho wanted, said "ho" must havo tho form and feature of an Apollo Belvidero, tho graco and po liteness of tho old Grecian, tho virtue of Joseph, tho financial ability of a Homer, the manners of a Chcsterlleld and tho patience of a Job." There aro several men on Coos Bay who feol that this girl certainly had them in mind when sho wroto that. A dog of the lumber yard breed Had a face always open for feed; Ho Is fond of a lark If tho cook boiled it dark, And young children ho loved frica seed. It. K. BOOTH. A Woatlu'r MyMory.

A daughter was welcomed lo tho homo of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Clinton, of Norway, on Sunday, the lGth. Leonard Hartley Is taking up his residence at Rural, where he will be more convenient to tho reserve and better able to attend to his dutifcs as deputy forest ranger. Messrs. Fisher and Fisher, Into of Halifax, Nova Scotia, arrived on the train Tuesday from Marshfletd, where they have been spending the greater part of tho winter, and on Wednesday moved with their fa mi lies onto tho S. W. Warner dairy farm. Miss Stella Weekly, well and fa vorably known throughout this sec tion of Coos county, has rented the room at the corner of Second ana Spruco streets and opened therein :i restaurant and short order house. Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Carl arrived in Myrtle Point Saturday from Twin Falls, Idaho, and expect to make this their home again. They have been living In Portland for a number of years, where Mr. Carl has been en gaged in contract building work. O. Dodge has received a copy of the late report regarding the im provements to navigation desired on tho Coquille river, with maps of the river and tho proposed betterments. The report contemplates and recom mends tho removal of rocks and shoals, and it is said that the work can be accomplished for ?27,S40, giving vessels a good channel to Co quille. S. S. Reed has sold to his fathor, O. Reed, the ten acres of land that he has been farming for a number of years, just south of tho city. Tho consideration was ?2,000, or $200 an acre. He did not sell for the pur- poso of quitting tho farm, but to enlarge his opportunities, and hpp bought the Aaron CrutchAeld ranch of 152 acres on the South Fork, for a consideration of $4,400. Ml. CrutchAeld expects to move farther east to a strictly stock country.
