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.

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.

"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.,
