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.

HUSHING THE SEASON.
Yesterday Alice gazed out of her win
dow.
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.

"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.
