Notwithstanding the dirty work of the army of miserable knockers .In this vicinity, several real estate deals have actually been made here recently. The town can not hope to sgrow much, however, until the Ttnockers are knocked in the head with a telephone pole or something -equally as effective. Drain Nonpa reil. COOS RAY MUST HURRY. Grants Pass people are interested in a project of building an electric line down the Illinois river. G. A. Collins, a promoter, is working up the scheme, and states that the dirt will be flying by September on the grade for the new line. Coos Bay -will need to get in and hustle or southern Oregon will have an outlet to the ocean at Wedderburn before Coos Bay is connected up with that section by railway. The preliminary survey was to be completed this week. Myrtle Point Enterprise. IMPROVEMENTS. The magnitude of the building operations on Coos Bay during the past year are apparent even to the casual observer, and there are com paratively few towns throughout the country that can boast of such won derful progress in so short a time. By our united efforts we have be come a factor to be reckoned with In the future advancement of the Pa cific coast, but In order to retain the prestige we have so deservedly won It is incumbent upon us to take ad vantage of every possible opportu nity and strive to still further pro mote the Interests of Coos Bay, and incidentally our own. There is still work, and much of It, to be done. Contemplated im provements should be pushed to a speedy completion. Property own ers, wlio are not deriving any re venue from their unimproved hold ings, wlll find It to be a source of profit to them If more modern homes aire erected. The supply does not .-equal the demand and at the present prices of building materials a ssvlng of at least 50 per cent can be made ' on improvements of this character. ' The lumber market Is rapidly becom ing more firm and within a few -months the same rates which prevail ed during the year 1907 will again tbo established. The period of business apathy is now past. Conditions In every line arc Improving throughout the coun try, and with this favorable outlook Ve should enjoy a still larger In crease in tho volume of business transacted. NOTICE TO CONTRACTORS.

In life or death since time began Is native In the simple heart of all. The angel heart of man.

In low or high. Thy skyey nrcni with erultlng sp-n O'er roof Infinity! James Russell Lowell. August Forecast It was August the third, And quite soft were the skies, And it might be imagined Bill Taft was likewise; Yet he played It that day upon Bryan In a way politicians despise. When they met on the train, As all candidates will, And they wagered a dinner In test of their skill The winner to make the best pun on The homely cognomen of Bill. "I suppose," Bryan said, Stirring Ice In his tea, "That In view of the times, As between you and me, The smaller the bill Is the better, The which any one will agree." "Very clever," said Taft, Here Is mine: "I've a hunch, You are not very strong." (And he gave him a punch) "For they don't like a long overdue bill!" And the Peerless One paid for the lunch. August was named for Augustus Caesar, nephew 'and adopted son of Julius. August was every bit as great a man, but his uncle had a bet ter pros3 bureau. When the Black Band got Julius, his nephew was but 19; but he had already worn the toga virills and shot a bear. Mark Antho ny tried to get him out of the way by making him a sort of vice-president, but after Augustus had beaten him 5 up and 2 to play on the green at Modena the big drawing card of the Roman Chautauqua was glad to mar ry the young man's sister and be a kind of Nick Longworth around the Roman White House. The Augustan age was the glory of Rome. Like Mr. Roosevelt, Au gustus showed fight all the time, and the empire enjoyed peace. Thera were no reformers, and times were good. The emperor liberally patron ized literature, and even wrote verses himself. Poets like Horace and Vir gil had their own enameled gold cha riots with liveried alligator bait on the Job behind, and instead of having the cruel circus games of Nero, the populace met in the colliseum and wrote limericks for prizes. It is said that Augustus found Rome a city of brick, and left it a city of marble. He was a very proud man, and In order to make his month as long as anybody's, they took a day from Feb ruary and added It to August, which originally had but thirty. Augustus deserves to bo better known, and It Is not his fault that he Is not. He tried everything from divorce to race suicide. Ho had threo wives and one child, a daughter Julia. He beat An tony and Cleopatra 9 to 0 in the famous engagement at Actium, enough in Itself to have left his name upon a 10-cent cigar; but ho stood about the same chance against the luster of his immortal uncle as Miss Ethel Roosevelt stands to share tho llmollght with her sister Alice. Tho dog days will return to paint The pond like Erin's Isle, And tho boys will navlgato the scum In good sea-going stylo; Reform will dig a few more pits For brewers and distillers, And tho ofllco seeker pass around His bum nlfnlfa flllors. The bullfrog will ossay his lay along tho winding creek, nnd tho dudo will blto tho summer girl upon her dnmask cheek; tho sun will burn tho fostlvo tramp clear through his undershirt, and Carrie Nation will glvo tongue, and kick up sod and dirt, the while her ladyship pursues the new directolre skirt. The candidate will buzz around be fore the voter's door, and all the babies will get kissed and snuggled up some more; the mother will say, "Ain't he nice!" with every kiss and hug, but the father will declare he is a dern old kissing bug. The "Anna-mosity which Prince Helie de Sagan and Count Boni de Castellane bear one another will cool a little, and about the 10th they will get together and shoot dice for the Gould children. The fleet will con tinue to banquet across the Pacific by easy stages, and upon reaching Manila, the stomachs of the officers will be put in dry dock and scraped. The baby calf will try his legs In meadows soft as silk, And When he bawls his loving dam Will rush the mother's milk; And meanwhile she will smile to think, With many modest blushes, How Moses could have ever lived In nothing but bullrushes. After the 21st, August will be under the zodiacal sign of vlrgo. This will make chatauqua crowds restless and .outdoor orators will have to follow them around through the woods and talk to them when they will stand. It will also cause Mr. Rockefeller to get busy on that story of his life he Is going to write for one of the national monthlies, and monopoly will get so nervous it will have to have a trained nurse and take nourishment through a funnel. Mr. Roosevelt will meanwhile call a spe cial meeting of the Cabinet at Saga more Hill, and will issue a proclama tion declaring that the best way to catch lions is to set up a sand seive on the desert, shovel the sand in, and take the lions out of the seive. Persons born under Virgo have do mestic tastes, and know how to hold a baby. They are very bright, and know what the presidential Issue is. They are sanguine in temperament, and believe the worst is over. They abuse their stomachs, and will eat anything that doesn't bite them first. The presidential campaign will be confined to a few social functions. On the 19th Mr. Roosevelt will give a lawn fete at Oyster Bay in honor of "Sunny Jim" Sherman's whiskers, and the guests will be given an op portunity to hear the sea breeze blow through them. On the 26th Mr. Bryan will give a corn-silk party at Falrvlew, in honor of his running mate, Mr. Kern. Everybody will wear corn silk whiskers, and a year's subscription to The Commoner will be given the guest wearing the best duplicate of Mr. Kern's. The planet Mars will be evening star until tfie 22d, and the moon will be full on the 11th, the Anti-Saloon League willing. And then September will return With autumn breezes cool, And the tearful boy will cuss his luck And hipper back to school. Ganderbout.
