WHAT COOS HAY HAS NOT.
While the good things of life, in
Ihe way of prime health, equable cli
mate, pure and endless water sup
plies, rich soils, varied and abunda'nt
natural resources, superb scene.ry,
and a myriad other elements that
contribute to comfort, pleasure and
prosperity, have fallen to the lot of
Coos Bay, there are things she has
.not; among them are floods, cyclones,
.fires, earthquakes, blizzards, pesti
lences, panics, extreme poverty, idle
decent people, and such burdens as
.are borne by the congested communi
ties in the East and Middle West and
South; and these exemptions are
deeply prized.
We have our short measures, of
course; there are scores of things
that we wish for and strive for and
.work to; but for anything abnor
mal, oppressive and crippling, we
uhave not. There is not a community
in the west that can boast moro
xeady-to-hand, indigenous,' common
and practical advantages than this
city and county can show.
vWe have the same old human way
rof growling and yearning and scrap
ping for just a "little the best of the I
bargain," but when we figure out our
real status, we And wo are well on
the lucky side of things. The situa
tion should be studied out more, to
be understood and realized.
Home.
Might I but see, my journey done,
You stand beside the door
To take my hand and lead me In,
Ah, could I ask for more!
To sit together then, my dear,
No word, perhaps, to say,
To sit together then, my dear,
Just as we sit today.
The journey's long to make, my dear
Chartless the hills to roam;
And oh, the wandering will be far,
Tho end will it be home?
Might I but see, my Journey done,
You stand beside the door
To take my hand and lead me in,
Ah, could I ask for more!

TOAST
There was a man in Marshfleld
And he was wondrous wbe
He swore by all the fabled gods,
He'd never advertise.
His goods were advertised 'ere long
And thereby hangs a taie.

And headed Trustee Sale.
"she can put her clothes In my
trunk." "But," said Doc, "she has
no clothes," "well," Al replied, "I
have no trunk."
"Let me kiss those tears away!"
he begged, tenderly. She fell In his
arms, and he was busy for the next
few minutes. And yet the tears
flowed on. "Can nothing stop them,"
he asked, breathlessly sad.
"No," she murmured; "it's hay
fever, you know. But go on with the
treatment."

Tho Coos Bay Times great contest
is the themo of conversation in thou
sands of homes all over Coos county.
That is due to the fact that all par
ties Interested are doing well mi to
date and some lively hustling may
I now be expected.
The effective results of hustling
was plainly evident In the excellent
showing made by Miss Genevieve

of the last candidates entered, she
stood second In the list of individual

A Marshfleld doctor was recently
called to his telephone by a colored
woman formerly in the service of his
wife. In great agitation the darky
advised the physician that her young
est child was in a bad way.
"What seems to be the trouble?"
asked the doctor.
"Doc, she done swallowed a whole
bottle of Ink!"
"I'll be over there In a short while
to see her," the doctor replied. "In
the meantime have you done any
thing for her?"
"I done give her three pieces o'
blottln paper, Doc," said tho negress!
doubtfully.
HE A BOOST EH.
Say, are you a booster, do you with
the boosters stand? If not, get in
the wagon and join this happy band.
If you are short, it won't do any
good to make a long face over it.

UNSURANCE AND TAXATION.
"When the rates of Insurance, in
-their composite ratios, overtake and
rpass, and practically double, the tax
rate of a community, there Is some
thing radically wrong, and it be
hooves the people to make determln
d investigation of the conditions
that account for it, since there are
jione to justify It.
While we may gradually hope for
Tin abatement of our tax systom to a
plane that meets our public obliga
tions, fixed and current, and for a
gradual reduction of this phase of
communal charge, the Are Insurance
rate will never abate until the pa-
trons of tho companies "take the bit
In their teeth" and make a break for
V.ireodom and rational business cost.

dially welcomed In this section of
tho country as an Insurance war, and

field against it backed by a compre

This is what makes a contest of
this kind so popular and fills the

During a recent experience meet
ing of school teachers during the
summer vacation, one of the "school
marms" told of one of her pupils, a
little chap barely 12 years old, who
was ever ready with a reply to any
question put to him, whether the
answer was right or wrong.
One day she asked this boy what
were the principal products of Mas
sachusetts. "Boots and shoes," he answered.
"Very good Charlie," said the
teacher, "now can you tell me the
products of Idaho?"
"Shoots and booze," came
quick reply.
