Address All Communications to COOS KAY DAILY TIMES Mnrslifleld ..... Oregon MAKE IT UNANIMOUS. Just now there appears to be lit tle doubt but that It is Senator Cake of Oregon. Once the campaign start ed is was speedily seen that the oft boasted personal popularity of George the Governor was not so al mighty stout as it once was. Vari ous things that some folks have known about our chief executive have come to light, and a lot of folks are today doubtful If George was such a whale of a man after all. The nearer Oregon makes it un animous for Cake the better for Ore gon. There are a few places where party politics still count; they don't usually in city, county and district affairs; but they do in national af fairs especially in the upper house of congress where the minority sits tight and waits. Oregon wants a lot of things from con gress; it can never get them through a Democratic senator. Between the men personally the ibsuo is not drawn; It is not a per sonal campaign; if it was Mr. Cake would not be on the defensive. It is also remembered that Cake was one of the Republicans who had the nerve to stand on a Statement No. 1 platform when it looked as though that meant defeat; ho stood for the popular election of the Unit ed States senator whether it profited him or not; Chamberlain has stood for It because it was his sole chance of ever landing the place. The vast difference between being good because you hope it will pay, and because it is right, represents the difference between the stand of Mr. Chamberlain and Mr. Cake. AN UNIQUE FESTIVAL. A rhododendron festival was held in Florence, the busy and pictures quo seaport town of Lane county, May 20, says the Portland Orc gonian. The coast line is gay with rhododendrons just now and the festival in honor of this beautiful flowering- shrub will be largely at tended by people of the county sur rounding Florence, from as far out as Eugene. -V.l Tuo rhododendron, the state flower of Washington, grows ns plentifully and blooms ns luxuriant ly along tho Oregon coast, and later in tho Oregon mountains, ns along tho coast and in tho mountains of Western Washington. When tho dis cussion regarding the cholco of a stato flower was before the Oregon Horticultural Society, some years . ago, the claim of tho rhododendron to this distinction was urged; but, ns is well known, tho Oregon grapo (herberis aqulfolium) won the honor. The cholco was regretted by many at tho time, but It has como to bo generally accepted as appropri ate. This fact does not, however, provont Oregon from sharing with Washington in ndmiration for tho gorgeous rhododendron when in bloom. Tho festival hold at Florence was tho first public honor that lias boon paid to this hardy, indi genous shrub. Portland is in tho mood just now to applaud tho spirit of enterprise nnd appreciation that ilnds expression In a flower festival. Naturo has been kind to tho pcoplo whoso homes and interests havo been established on Sluslaw Bay.. Among othor things, sho has given them a grand flower for thoir May festival moroly for tho gathering. May tho occasion lend to tho introduction of n multitude of ontorprislng pooplo of tho surrounding country to tho possibilities in uiulovoloped ro gourcos that abound in tho coast region of Lnno county.

He shivered in the evening, And always had the blues Until he took a bowl or two But he never blamed the booze. His joints were full or rheumatiz; His appetite was slack; He had pains between the shoulders; Chills ran down his back. He suffered with Insomnia: At night he couldn't snooze, He said it was the climate But he never blamed the booze. U. His constitution was run down (It' was overwork, he said) ; His legs were swelled each morning, And he often had swelled head. He tackled beer, wine, whisky, And If they didn't fuse He blamed It on dyspepsia But he never blamed tho booze. He claimed he hardly slept at night, And always had bad dreams; He claimed he often lay awake Till early sunrise beams. He thought it was malaria Alas! 'twas but a ruse. He blamed it on most everything But he never blamed the booze. His liver needed scraping, And his kidneys had the gout; He swallowed lots of bitters, Till at last he cleaned them out, His legs were swelled with dropsy, Till he had to cut his shoes; He blamed it on the doctor But he never blamed the booze. Then he had the tremens, And he tackled rats and snakes; First he had the fever, Then he had the shakes, At last he had a funeral, And, to give him his just dues, The epitath carved for him was "He never blamed the booze." Selected. Have you tried tho experiment of sitting behind a "Merry Widow" hat during church service? There are some men on Coos Bay with one foot In the grave who still do a lot of kicking with tho other. John Kronholm, with a smile that was childlike and bland approached Marshal Carter Monday and Informed him that there was, a stray horse in the stieet, near the Dr. McCormac residence. Marshal Carter, with an ever watchful eye to tho city's well- fare secured a ropo and started for tho scene of the roaming equine. Ar rival at the place he found a hobby horso carefully tied to tho fence. Tho Marshal refubos to divulge tho burn ing words that filled his thought factory when he discovered that it was a "horse" on him and he may havo asked John to "havo one on mo" but the Times is expecting fur ther developments. John is still in possession of his "bland smile" but Marshal Carter will requlro corro boration of tho uut report that a "horse" Is loose. It N Rumored. That wo still need a pavement crusade. That it is timo to sot out little onions. That tho lady of tho house Is get ting ready to clean It. That wo need a largo modern npartment houso badly.

Plant sailed late this afternoon from Coos Bay for San Francisco.

He has uncovered a ledge, samples of which assay $1, 400 in gold to the ton. Mr. Deyoe says It is one of the few "ledge in place" mines that have been discover ed In this section. He discovered the ledge quite by accident and secured some fine samples from the surface. His friends will sincerely hope that ho has discovered his fortune. He filed on the property as soon as he arrived In town. TO IMPROVE BROADWAY. North Ueml City Council Awards Contract to Contractor Burns. At a special meeting last evening, the North Bend city council awarded Contractor Burns the work of open ing up Broadway and Improving the thoroughfare. A number of routine matters came up for discussion but no other busi ness of importance was transacted. At tho Crystal. Tho all-comedy bill at tho Crystal last night proved to bo a favorite with all. "The Strenous Veteran's War Story" was a laugh producer from tho prelimi nary skirmishing to the final assault and kept tho audience In an uproar. "Father Buys a Hand Roller" Is an other strong comedy film, and "No Moro Servants Wanted" handles tho servant problem in a novel manner. "When Women Meet" humorously portrays what tho titlo suggests. The Illustrated songs: "I Love You Girlie But I Don't Know Why" and "My Little Drummer Boy" are new and original and tho slides aro of tho latest manufacture. POLITICAL ADVERTISING.

You must voto olthor with tho gamblers, saloon men and bandy housokoopors or against them. Where do you stand? POLITICAL ADVERTISING. ARE SALOONS A BENEFIT TO A TOWN FINANCIALLY? If they are then Marshfleld with its 13 saloons should be in a fine financial condition, with paved streets, municipal water works and electric lights, city parks, city docks, modern sewer system and everything that goes to make up a modern city, with city warrants at a premium. What are the facts? According to the report of Expert Squires she is in an nlarmlng condi tion. With a city charter that allows an indebtedness of but $25,000 she Is in debt to the amount of $43,000 and going still further in debt. Not a bank in the county will cash the Marshfleld city warrants at par. There Is not a single foot of paved streets. Not a single one of tho above necessary improvements. Worse than all, the city is running in debt to the extent of several thou sand dollars annually; and the city council is considering the advisability of asking the people to allow them to incur a bonded indebtedness of $50,000. What do you think that for a "wet" town? Compare the above with the city of Eugene a dry town for two years, which Is in a most prosperous condi tion as shown by the statement of Mayor Matlock. POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENTS. To the Voters of Coos and Curry Counties: As a candidate for joint senator, I have been asked to make a public statement. Of myself personally, I shall say nothing as I have lived In Coos coun ty for the past fourteen years, and during that time have actively en gaged in many occupations and enter terprlses, Including coal mining, log ging, road building and general con tracting, so that I have come in con tact with most of the active elements in the county development, and my character, dealings and reputation aro well known to many and easily ascertained by all. As to my general qualifications for the office, I leave the public to judge, but that there may be no misunderstanding of my position, I make this public announ cement that I have signed Statement No. 1, and if elected shall vote for the people's choice for United States senator. My experience and acquaintance with local conditions should enable me to properly represent the district, and I therefore feel justified in ask ing your support. HUGH McLAIN.
