FIIEE HAND WITH SCHOOLS.
Tho Coos Bay school districts are
confronted with soveral Important
aind costly propositions, among them
the building of two large new
buildings for the accommoda
tion of children that cannot be taken
care of in comfort at present. This
means an additional cost In the mat
ter of teachers for all these new
rooms and their pupil all of which
appeals directly to the tax-payer.
The school tax payer of Coos Bay
Is, however, very amenablo to tho
burdens that he faces; he Is patient
and willing nnd oven anxious for the
development of the system, so long
as it is conservatively handled, and
as he has had little of disappoint
ment in the past, he Is willing to
trust the solution of the pending dif
ficulties to the boards now In charge
and to give practically a free hand,
knowing that what is needed is in
evitable and will come back to him
in the shape of an enlightened and
capable generation of young citizens
wbo will, In good time, relieve him
of tho burdens he Is bearing and di
recting. This is the one great com
pensation in the questions of the pub
lic schools, and there are none In the
world to beat the American In the
Ttnowledgo and appreciation of the
blessing.

GOOD EVENING.
Bluo Days.
It's not worth while the grieV'

About the chances lost;
What gain are you receiving

Look on ahead and smile;
The blue days, though you've

Are none of them worth

the
METHODS OF FORESTRY.
To bring the forests to their full
productiveness, however, they must
be cut over. The ax is the forester's
lioe as well as his scytho. Reaping
and sowing are usually for him one
and the same operation, and cultiva
tion is accomplished by getting rid
of what he does vt want. There
wero cut from the national forests
during tho last fiscal year tho equiva
lent of a little over 280,000,000
board feet of timber. This Involved
cutting operations on slightly less!
than 3G0.000 acres of land, or about
one four-hundredths of tho total
area of tho govcrr.ma.u'a forests. In
other words, hardly a beginning has
'been made In bringing tho forests to
their highest productiveness through
"use, nnd their reserve of mature tim
ber has scarcely been touched by the
operations under way. -

"eritlrdly by what foresters call the
'"selection method." This takes out
"only a part of the trees and leaves
'the rest to grow more rapidly ns a re

of tho ground with new growth.

persons responsible aro brought to

gradually introduced. This means

Balancing one thing against another,
'tho government has undoubtedly not

Tomorrow.
King Hassam, well-beloved, was wont
to say,
When aught went wrong or any
labor failed,
"Tomorrow, friends, will be another
day!"
And in that faith he slept, and so
prevailed.
Long live this proverb! While the
world shall roll,
Tomorrows fresh shall rise from
out the night
And new-baptlze the indomitable
soul
With courage for its never-ending
fight.
No ono, I say, is conquered till he
yields;
And yield he need not while, like
mist from glass,
God wipes the stain of life's old bat
tlefields From every morning that He
brings to pass.
New day, new hope, new courage!
Let this be,
O soul, thy cheerful creed. What's
jesterday.
With all Its shards and wrack and
grief, to thee?
Forget it, then here lies the vic

will sit up and take notice when one

It Is much easier for a bad man to
live down to his reputation than It Is
for a good man to live up to his.
When a man tolls a Coos Bay girl

"Stop at the shop at the top of Sloane

"Then try saying over and over

"No; I only said I was thinking

"Oh, I see; you've merely turned it

"Can you tell me how I can get

"Sure," the Marshal replied, "go

to accommodate him, and because he
could no longer be kept In the jail
hospital, Dan Wadsworth, a lineal
descendant of one of the founders of
Hartford and the fattest man in New
England, has been released from the
county jail and put In charge of the
probation officer.
For years Dan has run a tavern
and road house and has sold liquor
to almost every parched throat that
applied, notwithstanding that he has
no license and would not bo granted
ono. When he was convicted for the
third tlmo and sent to jail the sheriff
foared to squeezo him through a cell
door, In the belief that he would ra
pidly take on moro flesh and It would
bo necessary to tear down a side wall
to get him out. Tho belief was well
founded, for Dan got so fat that
ho was a nuisance in the jail hospital.

The basins are known as the New

PARIS, July 30. Great was tho
amazement of a magistrate when a
widow, who had been called as a
witness, appeared at his office in a
top hat and a frock coat with her
hair cut short and trimly brushed
and carrying a neat stick. "This
must bo a mistake or a joke," he re
flected, and his bewilderment hardly
diminished when tho good woman
calmly related that she had actually
been wearing masculine attlro for
fully 37 years without the exception
of a single day.
"But this is not allowed," ho gasp
ed. "It is in my case as a privilege,"
the widow replied proudly, and then
sho explained that she had acted as
an emissary to Metz in 1S70; that
sho had deposed in the Bazaine trial,
and that she had been authorized
to retain masculine dress in honor
of her prowess In that terrible year.
Sho is in possession of a number of
