Address All Communications to COOS WAV DAILY TIMES Mnrshfleld Oregon SOME PRESKNT NEKDS OF COOS DAY. The people of Coos Bay ought to realize as never before that their city Is on the verge of very important events. Just how these events are handled by those who have a prop erty control of the situation, will de termine whether the city will become great in a short time or whether it will take a long time. It must bo recognized that human nature has to bo dealt with In building the city for there will be kickers, obstruc tionists and grabbers who will have to bo counted with; but If there are enough liberal and progressive men In the city to overcomf the kickers, obstructionists and grab thero never was a city which grew faster and more substantially than the city of Coos Bay. What is that policy? Tills is the tlmo to agitate it and understand it. The real estate men who deal in their own property are In the fore front of every city's progress. They can make It or break it. They make it by being liberal In their terms and energetic in seeking for the establish ment of Industries on their property. They make It by being careful to use their money to Improve their prop erty. They mako It by not trying to grab everything in sight and by not insisting on a monopoly of tho busi ness. They make It by specializing, each his own locality. '1 hey break It by putting an exorbitant piico on unimproved property. They break It by refusing to put any price on It in somo Instances and asking tho pur chaser to name a price. They break it by dividing tholr tract into lots which are too small. They break it by exaggeration. They break it when they cry down some other addition, some other part of the city or district, or aomo other town or territory which forms part of the backing of tho city. lho city of Coos Hay needs many things just now and there cannot bo any too much expedition used lit anti cipation of tho needs of a town three times as great as at present. It needs a hotel and could easily sustain two good ones. It has no sulllclent hotel for tho travelling public, although tho small hotels aro good up to tho stand ard of their claims. It needs a street car line between tho cities of North Bond and Mnrshflold as anybody can see who obsorves tho frequently overloaded condition of tho boats plying between tho two places. It needs to havo Front street extended to reach between tho two cities. It needs threo streets crossing tho i)nrinaula from cast to west, between ''n Inner and Lower bays. Ono of 1 eoo is Virginia avenue, North ' nil; another Is Newinark street, n at B; another Is along tho level In " Tshfleld up Mill Slough, west to ay Slough and still west on tho west grades to Pony Inlot and itth Slough. In tho future, ono of iso localities will bo tho great 'y's dead center of business. It oils nbovo all things, a eonsolhla- !on of all cities around tho Hay Into me great city and tho sooner it eon- olldntes tho sooner its destiny will H defined. WHY CITIKS SUPPORT I'UllliH LIHHAHUIS. The proposition that only an o- JlgUtwuU and am tntelHEemt peopjo can make self-government a success Is so self-evident as to mako argu ment but a vain repetition of empty words. And yet wo know that the public school side of our system of free public education Is as yet only able to secure five years schooling for the average child in this country an all too narrow portal through which to enter upon successful citi zenship. There Is an imperative de mand then for the establishment and the development and for the wise ad ministration of that other branch of our system of free public aducatlon which we know as tho public library. Wo must understand clearly that the beneficent result of this system of education, bifurcated if you choose to call it so, is just as possible to tho son of the peasant as to the son of the president, is just as helpful to the blacksmith as to the barrister, to tho farmer as to the philosopher; and in its possibilities and in Its help fulness Is a constant blessing to all and through all, and is needed by all alike. Tho most worthy mind, that which Is of most value to the world, is the well-informed mind which is public and large. Only through tho devel opment of such, both as leaders and as followers, can all classes bo brought Into an understanding of each other, can we preserve true re publican equality, can we avoid that Insulation and seclusion which are unwholesome and unworthy of true American manhood. The state has no resources at all comparable with its citizens. A man is worth to him self just what ho is capable of en joying, and he Is worth to the state just what he is capable of imparting These form an exact and true meas ure of every man. The greatest posi tive strength and value, therefore, must always bo associated with tho greatest positive and practical devel opment of every faculty and power. This then Is tho true basis of taxa tion for public libraries. Such a tax Is subject to all the canons of usual taxation, and may be defended and must be defended upon precisely the same grounds as wo defend the tax for tho public schools. James Ultimo Canfleld.

LEVI SMITH INVENTS NEW TOOL FOR LOGGERS. Secures Patent on Device that is Said to be Groat Aid in ltiirklug hogs. Levi Smith of Mnrshflold has just secured a patent on tho Smith Under- cutter, a device that Is declared to be ono of tho best things that has been brought out for logging purposes In years. Tho Httlo device, which is less than four inches long and threo Inches wldo, and weighing nlno ounces, Is mado of tho highest grade of machined steel, and Is especially designed for undercutting where tho log is lying closo to or upon tho ground. Tho Smith Undercutter con sists of a Bhort spindlo forked nt ono end and threaded at tho other. In tho forked end runs a small steel wheol grooved to a width equal to the thickness of tho back of a cross cut saw. On tho spindle is a hinged clamp, which Is held In placo by a thumb-scrow at tho threaded end of tho spindlo. Tho hinged clnmp fits over tho handle of an nxo and, as It mny bo moved up or down on tho bundle, enables tho oporator to placo his saw at any desired point after the blado of axo has been Imbedded in tho log. Tho back of tho saw Is then placed upon tho grooved wheol and tho qutting begins, while tho nntural spring of a nxo hnndlo exerts a con stant pressuro upon tho saw. The rocking motion of tho saw and tho certain amount of spring In tho handle of tho ax enables tho saw to freo Itself of sawdust. When not In use in undercutting, tho dovlco tuny bo slid down on tho handlo and clamped Just back of tho axo head and tho axo used for its ordinary practical purposes. Another dovlco which Mr. Smith has patented con sists of a steel spindlo about eight Inches long, with tho grooved wheel In tho forked end. This la utilized whero a log lies In such a manner that It Is Impossible to strike an nxo Into tho side and still leave. leverago room sufficient to normlt the use of tho regular undercutter. After the Uart In the log tins boon mado In this mnnner, tho axe and tho otnor. toJ vux V M6. t t WITH THE t TOAST AND TEA t ' Fino Day Dreams. When sleep has closed my tired eyes And on my couch I He, Forgetting ns I quaintly snore The troubles that nre nigh. Some fancies nallop through my brain That tako tho bridal cake, But they aro nothing to tho dreams I havo when wldo awake. Reclining In nn easy chair, Cheered by a fat cigar. I see myself go spinning In A high priced nuto car. I Bit and take a flier on Some fluctuating stocks And shrewdly play the lucky slda And gather wealth In blocks. I see fat plums political Como tumbling off tho tree And hear as music In my ears Tho presidential bee. Down through the crowded nvenuet I gayly take a ride. And to the noisy cheering crowd I nod on cither side. I see a maiden young and fair Come gayly tripping In; Sho waltzes lightly to my slda And pats my chubby chin. I seo a lot of other things That qulto a book would make. For, oh. I havo such lovely dreams When I am wldo awake. Have you ever noticed that the man who only half tries only half makes good. Not That Kind of Chance. Ho was a chance acquaintance; I met him at a dance And asked him for a dollar, but Ha wouldn't take a cbnuce. Tho Astoria Leader says; "The name of the mayor of Marsh Held is Straw. Rye, wheat or Jack? Hay, there." This is barley permissible. NOT AT THE MILLICOMA. Wife Oh, William, why are you so late? I havo been so frightened. William (who has been to his club) 'Portant blsnish, ra'denr. Wife Wouldn't It keep till tomor row? William No, love, not after corksh drawn. q "I heard a good story tho other day that illustrates the griefs of ab sent mindedness" remarked L. It. Robertson." Anderson Lamb, a well known merchant of Coqulllc, was a member of a hunting and fishing party that spent sometime up in the mountains. On tho return trip, one of tho horses went laem. This nec essitated someone walking back. However, to divide up tho grief, It was determined that tho use of the horses should bo divided up. Tho ''an was lor part of them to rklf ahead, the leading man to get off after ho had covered part of the distance, tie his horse and then pro ceea on foot, leaving tho animal for tho pedestrian In tho rear. The plan worked all rlirht and eventually It I camo tho turn of Lamb, who brought up tho rear on foot, to ride. After he had ridden quite a ways, he got off, tied the horse and walked on Into Coqullle. A short time afterwards, ono of the party came around and wanted to know whero Lamb left the horse. "Why I tied it back there on the path," ho replied. "Blamo It, didn't you know you was tho last ono and that we'll havo to send back after tho animal," re torted tho other. "Lamb was dumfounded. It had n't occured to him until then that ho had mado a mlstnko. Tho horso was sont for and everything camo out all right but it will bo a long timo beforo Mr. Lamb, who is a rattling good fellow, hears tho last of It. Tho question always comes up: What Is a gentloman? Some say ho is a man with n silk hat, and others a man with a smooth tongue. Rut men connected with tho news paper trade havo a canon of their own. "Mr. Editor," said a patron ono day, "how Is It you never ask a gentloman for money." "Indeed!" tho patron replied. "How do you manage to get along when they don't pay? ' "Why," said Mr. Editor, "after a certain tlmo wo conclude ho Is not a gentleman, and wo ask him." Wo nro now prepared to store your goods. Ray Sldo Paint Co., North Rend. FOR REPRESENTATIVE.
