KXOCKIXG AT DRAIX.
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.

REASON.
DIM as the borrowed beams of moon
and stars
To lonely, weary, wandering trav
elers Is reason to the soul, and as on

Those rolling fires discover but the sky.
Not light us here, so reason's glimmer

Was lent not to assure our doubtful war.
But guide us upward to a better day.

THE SOUL OF MAN.
THERE Is no wind but sovveth seeds
Of a more true and uppn life.
Which burst unlooked for. Into high
isoule ! deeds
With wayside beauty rife.
TT'E find within the?e souls of o'irs
' Some wild germs of a hlener birth.
Which In the poet's tropic heart bear
flowers
Whose fragrance Alia the earth.
ALL that hath been majesties!
In life or death since time began
Is native In the simple heart of all.
The angel heart of man.
A ND thus among the untaught poor
J- Great deeds nnd feelings find a home
That cast In shadow all the golden lore
Of classic Grrece and Rome.
O MIGHTY brother soul of man.
Where'er thou art. 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.
