Address All Communications to COOS KAY DAILY TIMES Mnrsnfh-ld Oregon RAILROAD PROSPECTS. The spring has como and with It strong Indications that Coos Bay, which eminent railroad authority pronounces to be one of the four great railroad strategic points of the Pacific coast, will have a railroad within two years at least. It is not unlikely that, In order to measure up to the original intentions wnen tho Drain-Coos Bay railroad was ordered two years ago, to be built, it being then tho purpose to complete it this year, that a large force will bo put to work shortly In three dif ferent places. One of these places Is Coos Bay, another tho mouth of the Umpqua, and a third, Drain. The purchase of all supplies for railroad camp equipment between Drain nnd Gardner; tho accumulation of large quantities of material at Drain, such as steel for bridges, cement, ties and rails; tho letting of tho contract for tho two tunnels and tho persistent statement of tho newspaper press that tho road Is to bo built this year, nil amount to convincing proof and tho people of Coos Bay are feeling very confident that tho road is cer tain to materialize. But there are other rumors which seem to have somo foundation be neath them. One of these is that the Great Northern or Hill interests are building southward under cover and havo already built a standard gauge electric lino from Portland to Salem. The same road is being extended to Eugene whero It Is said it will find Its way, either to tho south Into nose - burg and thenco by way of what Is known as Fork Gap to Coos nay, or westward down tho Sluslaw to Win-la chestor Hay and south to a crossing of tho Unipqiia by way of Smith river and on to Coos Bay through the Ten Mile country. Tho latter routo Is not as doubtful as one might suppose -at first blush, for tho Sluslaw and Smith Klver valleys are both prod uctive and would supply such a road with considerable tonnage. There has been much said of the North western coming to Coos Bay, but the movements of that road do not ap pear to he very active just now and It is mentioned for the presont somewhat remotely. Never theless, tho prospects for Coos Bay are really very satisfactory from a railroad point of view. PACK OF SALMON FOR 11107. Washington Puts Out (11)7, HHO Cases, Valued at $li,(l IU,1I.

And noticed the roadway with sun- Hcht ablaze: The blue of the skies was as bright as her eyes, And she said: 'Spring is hero with her wonderful days. So bless me. I'll dress me. In costume befitting tho advent of spring; I will don, I'll put on My peek-a-boo waist and my furs I will fling." This she did, for, the truth must be told, This morning fair Alice Is down with a cold. Yesterday Alice arose bright and early And noticed the sunbeams that danced all about; 'the birds' merry clatter her heart made to patter. She said, "I'll look swell when today I go out, Hooray! Now here goe3, For my open work hose. My oxfords of tan without rubbors I'll wear. Though mother may scoff, My heavies I'll doff And go for a stroll while the weather , Is fair." This she did and, of course, all the truth must be said, Today her blue eyes are most woe fully red. Today Alice speaks with a thick, fog gy accent, So cloudy her voice, which was clear as a bell; She gurgles and sputters, each word that she utters Proclaims the sad late that to Alice befell, "I'b got a bad cold, I'b a sight to behold, She murmurs, "my head is stuffed up I cad't talk; I'b dot sure the way I got It, I say, But I think I caught it while oud for a walk." So sho says, but her waist and her openwork hose, Have gone back on tho shelf till the May blossom blows. Selected. O "Havo you any fine tooth combs?" asked a piospective customer of Frank Parsons. "No" Frank replied "but wo have some fine tooth brushes." Here Is a suggestion for somo of !"10 ,,,oat owners on the Bay. A gentleman recently returned from San Francisco says that in one of 'l.e pleasure boats there he noticed a sign liko the following posted In conspicuous place. "I'liu chairs in the cauin nro ior tlio ladles. Gentlemen are requested not to make iiso of them till the ladles aro seated. Tho Times does not as a rule be llovo in printing long articles and particularly long pieces of poetry but the following from a rancher friend near Allegany Is so good that we gladly glvo It space. It will be found to contain much gentlo sar casm and the quality of tho poem Is much above the average. ODE TO THE EXPERIMENTAL STATION. A PIPE DUEAM. By Doubting Thomas. In my shanty at tho mountain's baso Closo by tho rushing Mllllcoina. Whero winter floods to ocean madly race 1 sit and puff tho weed's aroma. Trees that have stood for a thousand years Erect and firm as granlto piers. Six feet through and two hundred long Without tho sign of u single prong Now Ho prone upon tho soil Which to removo takes months of toll. Lying so thick upon tho ground From ono to another tho buck can bound. Tlmo only knows how long they havo lain Slowly absorbing tho winter's rain Till tho hottest summer cannot dry So that tho flro you may apply. Torn from tho ground by tho hurri cane's blast Dow n from tho sky they havo been cast, Into hills, hollows this toro the Earth Giving to younger forests birth. Stumps snapped off at a hundred feet Still stand thick tho gazo to meet Blackened by flro and hoary with old Yet stand gunrd o'er their com rades felled. Stretches of fern liko tho billowy sea Or the Are swept plain of the mountain's kne Rooted so deep in tho virgin soil To whose fertility they are tho foil. I These are tho things I must assail With a sturdy hand or naught avail. For the ravages of time have failed to destroy And heroic means I must employ. A thousand plans I have evolved Each more potent than the other When every detail has been- ' .., I promptly abandon for another. First with tho cow I populate the slopes On the hen I next transfix my hopes Then mow away the brush with goats. And dig up all tho fern with shoats. Now my fancy runs to orchard trees Reflects and fills the sky with bees; And next It anchors fast on spuds, Then sheep lie down to chew their cuds. I now would rear the fiery colt Then onions seem to be my holt. Alfalfa next I'd propagate On carrots too I calculate. Black cattle and angora goats, Clydesdale mares and Berkshire shoats, Italian bees and Shropshire sheep, Are some of the kinds that I would keep. Thirty pounds in seven days, Is the only cow that ever pays, It's the very least that I'd expect, Anything less I would reject. Ten pounds of mohair in every fleece, Fifteen of wool, without the grease, A two forty gait In every mare, A bull that won at every fair. One hundred polnta the hen must score, And full ns good must be the boar; The cockrel muts have won the prize, The sow must be of wondrous size. A perfect buck must take the helm, And billy, from the Sultan's realm, Tho ewes soft fleece, as whito as milk, The nannies hair as fine as silk. A Jersey bull, a joy to see, A thousand volumes his pedigree, A prancing stallion, a marvelous wonder. Whose neck is clothed with pro verbial thunder. Machine milked cows, whilo on the run, Hens that lay liko a rapid fire gun, Bees that fill their hive twice a day, And fertilize all while on their way. Four tier apples, orchards run, Carrots whose yield Is forty ton, A thousand sacks of onions yield, Three cut3 of clover In tho field. Clover fragrance that causes swoon, Kale whose shade makes night of noon, Pumpkins liko boulders on the strand, Spuds that hill and vale tho land. Tho apple, free from scab and moth, The peach, as smooth as velvet cloth, The plum is large and smooth and swet, Tho cherry tho best you ever eat. Berries that molt at touch of lip, Grapes, whoso nectar fairies might sip, Pears, so rlpo and luscious and sweet, The joys of Heaven could scarcely beat. A smooth hard road of gradual descent Winding down by tho mountain bent A bounding auto swiftly glides, Whore now I plod with weary strides. When the merry crowd comes up to pick The luscious fruit, which grows so thick, A hundred voices then will ring Where now I sit alono and sing. The rain has given too much time, I've undertaken to wrlto a rhyme. A sudden halt made to reflect Somo combinations I must not neglect. If Pierpont Morgan gave up his swag, All the world could go on a jag. If "Standard OH" should hoard Its gold Nothing I raised could ever bo sold, If all the bunks should lock their doors Mould nnd decay would consume my stores, If nil tho unions should say "nit" Or Harrlman got mad and quit. If the yellow peril should arise And fill our land with hideous cries, If any of thoso should como to pass What could I do? Alas! Alas! With bulletins and catalogues strewn about, This and moro I havo figured out, And now that spring is almost hero Ono thing to mo seems very clear. So many ways there are to choose Each ono so good, you can't refuse, To undertake to try them all Would but Insuro your certnln fall. So none of them will I undertake But final proof I soon will make Then hie mo back to dally wage For Doubting Thomas,' it's tho only stage. DOUBTING THOMAS. Allegany, Oregon, March 30, 1908.
