STATE RAILROADS
Governor Chamberlain does not
hesitate to bay that if the magnates
-who hold the railroad destinies of
Oregon in their hands, persist in do
ing nothing for Oregon, then the
ftate should undertake, not only to
construct and own the road beds of
lines which will traverse Oregon, but
also to operate those roads. It Is
true that he believes the policy of the
state, if such a plan should be adopt
ed, is, not to construct, own and
operate steam lines, but electric
lines and that these should be ex
tended to all parts of the state where
any good can be done. While this
Is not the plan which The Times ad
vocated a few weeks ago, in all Its
details yet, it is quite in line with
that plan, and The Times believes
that the sooner the people gird on
their armor and undertake independ
ent action, the sooner the good time
will arrive for progressive Oregon.
This brings us to point that the
people of Coos Bay should undertake
,to clear the way for the building of
.an electric railroad to the Rogue
Jtlver valley or to the Willamette at
once. The undertaking cannot be de
Hayed. There is not good reason why
the legislature should not provide for
a method of constructing electric
,-roads and, if necessary to amend the
'Constitution to permit such construc
tion with tho aid of counties, then to
submit the amendment at a special
election in tho spring. Why not?
"Why should not Coos and Douglas
counties unite to aid substantially the
.building of a road which will make
dt possible to exchange the advan
tages which each is anxious to ex
change. Coos Bay coal for Roseburg
and Roseburg's agricultural products
for Coos Bay, the products of the In
terior and the outlet for them at this
iceaport will make Douglas county
.and Coos county many times richer
ihan now. It would, with a good
liarbor at this point, Insure a great
city of rapid growth, and sfich a city,
if it did not draw railroads, would,
porhaps be able to build a railroad
or two which present monopolies
..could not control.
At Is refreshing to know that even
if Governor Chamberlain did go over
to see Harriman when Harrlman
aacglected to come to see him, the
.-governor Is still courageous enough
Ao stand for state action. No need
'Governor Chamberlain bo ashamed
of his position. Governor Clinton
was ono time Governor of Now York.
Tho lattor's claim to distinction and
Individuality Is, that while- Jefferson
sneered at tho enterprise undertaken
by Now York which resulted in tho
Erie Conal, a stato enterprise, tho
canal was built, owned and operated
by tho state, and tho stato is in con
sequence tho Empiro stato and Now
York City tho second city in tho
ivui'ld In population and tho first in
-wealth. The fear of Socialism is
making Mr. Harriman more and more
despotic. Ono would think a limit
ed form of stato socialism might bo
tolerated if It would save tho stato
from finding lodgment in the stomach
rof an economic king.
"Say, that new girl my wife hired
is a 'bird,' and no mistake."
"A bird, oh!"

A Remedy.
A little trick of laughing,
When skies are dull and gray.
Will make your life worth living
And roll your cares away.
It Isn't hard for learning,
Since all you have to do
Is just to keep believing still
That joy will follow rue.
A little trick of laughing
When all your plans go wrong,
Will turn a fit of growling
Into a cheerful song.
Good friend, why don't you try it
For practice once or twice?
'Twill change l.fe's dross to yellow
gold
And do it in a trice.
A little trick of laughing
Will drive it so far away
'Twill never come again,
To trouble you another day
It makes the prospect brighter
And helps us to endure.
There's nothing else In all tho world
Just like the laughter cure!

Differences Between City At
torney Ferrin and Recorder
Upton In Council.
An evident controversy between
City Recorder J. M. Upton and City
Attorney E. L. C. Farrln as to who
was entitled to the remuneration for
compiling and codifying the old city
ordinances threatened to start a lively
debate in the city council last night,
but was avoided by Mr. Upton refus
ing to press his claim before that
body. The contract for the work was
given to Messrs. Ferrin and Upton,
but Mr. Ferrin claimed that he did
absolutely all the work and that he
didn't propose to share the pay with
Mr. Upton. The bill for $250 was
presented last night and brought the
controversy up. The council didn't
want to mix In the matter but mem
bers wanted to make sure that they
would not have to pay the bill twice.
After Mr. Ferrin had presented his
side of it, Councilman Sacchl said
that he thought Mr. Ferrin was prob-
lably right and was entitled to his
money. He said It was simply an
other instance of Mr. Upton trying
to claim the honor for work ho was
not doing. Mr. Sacchl was stopped
by Mayor Straw who said that was
not a matter for the council to con
sider and that Mr. Sacchl had better
discuss the point with Mr. Upton per
sonally. Value of Warrants.
After the bill had been ordered
paid, Mr. Ferrin asked that it be al
lowed out of the current expense
fund. He said that he had done a
lot of work for the money and In ad
dition to this had paid most of it
out to stenographers. In view of
this, he said that he wanted "100
cent dollars Instead of the 85-cent
dollars that city warrants mean."
This intimation made Mayor Straw
rather Irate. He said that Mr. Fer
rin should be paid in city warrants
and that he didn't like the insinua
tion that the city's paper was not
good. He said that If the city was
bankrupt, the council had better quit
business. He said that the city war
rants were just as good as Wall
street bonds and that after December
3, there would be a good market for
them, intimating that the voters
would then vote the Issuance of $40,
000 or $50,000 bonds to take up all
warrants.
Improve Third Street.
It was decided to order Third
street from Cedar to Front street
graded and planked. Someone sug
gested It might done more quickly
by private contract but Councilman
Lockhart said that it better be or
dered done by the city council "as
Gus Bennett and Henry Sengstacken
owned property along there and were
sure to kick." It was finally ordered
improved.
The contracts for improving Cedar
street from Third to Front streets
was let last night. O. J. Signalness
was given the grading contract for
33 cents per cubic yard with $50
additional for removing stumps and
the woodwork contract was given to
Masters and McLain for $4,600.
These were the only two bids in. Tho
work will cost nearly $9,000.
Order Ordinances Entered.
After considerable discussion, It
was decided to have all of the city
ordinances copied into an ordinance
record. In this connection, City Re
corder Upton said he had been ad-

Concert Will Be Brilliant
Musical Event.
The concert to be put at the Ma
sonic Opera House by Bandon Con
cert Band, on August 28 and 29, will
be a classic one from start to finish,
with the exception of ono or two
numbers which aro put on to show
the great extremes to which tho band
ran be put, such as burlesque music,
etc.
A feature of the concert will be a
descriptive selection, "Custer's
Death," considered only semlclassic,
has, however, worried many a true
bandmaster by its variety of tempos
and Its demands for different effects;
it portrays the sounds to be heard on
the battlefield with tho Indians; the
synopsis is as follows:
1. Sioux Indian War Dance, night
before the battle.
2. Bugle calls in Custer's Camp
before forming the line of march.
3. Custer's Cavalry on the march
to the Sioux camp, horses' hoofs
heard in the distance.
4. Approach of Cavalry with
band playing "National Airs;" the
Indians responding with their cus
tomary war music.
5. Battle of "Little Big Horn,"
lune 25, 187G.
G. Indians rejoicing over the vic
tory with a scalp dance.
7. Arrival of Reinforcement.
8. Custer's burial, volley of shots,
muffled drums and bugle blowing,
"taps."

He said that without having the or
dinances in a bond volume, the rec
order was bothered by constant
charges of city documents being lost.
He said these charges were not true
that not a single paper had b2pn

that It was only businesslike to hi'o

for the last two nights and we feel
assured that the people of Marsh
field will turn out the rest of the
week and patronize this excellent
company. Tonight the play will be
"Hearts of the Blue Ridge."

ed that with a slight change in con
ditions, Oregon could arrange for the
building of her own railways. He
said that there Is over $10G,000,000
on deposit In the banks of Oregon
and tho $3,000,000 or so needed for
tho construction of the Coos Bay lino
could be advanced by them without

almost as Important could bo built

sisted on waiting too long.
Surprise (o Portland .Ainu.
Dr. Andrew C. Smith of Poitland,
who, with his wife, Is spending a
few days on Coos Bay, this being
their first visit hero, said that Coos
Bay was a revelation to him. He had
heard much of It but always thought
the tales were highly overdrawn and
that ho didn't believe that the re
gion could be near what was claim
ed for it. He said that he was will
ing to vouch, after a couple days' ex
perience here, that It was all true
and that only part of Coos Bay's
story had been told. The wonderful
resources ,the climate, the natural
beauty and the remarkable possibili
ties, he declared, were beyond the
comprehension of one who had not
seen them. Ho said that more pub
licity was needed. This was espe
cially true as to the harbor bar. He
said that most of the people of Port
land and Oregon had been given to
understand that there was barely ton
feet of water on tho bar at low tide
instead of the twenty or more feet
that there really Is. He declared
that Oregon Is on the verge of tho
greatest period of development In Its
history and that Coos Bay with the
spirit of progress that is manifesting
itself here is bound to enjoy more
than Its share of the benefits. He
said the only drawback was the Isola
tion of the city but that he was cer
tain that an electric line or an auto
mobile road, and perhaps both,
would soon bring the city In easy
communication with the outside
world.
Keep On Boosting.
Dr. J. T. McCormac, piesideut of
the Chamber of Commerce, expressed
gratifications over the tributes that
had been paid to Coos Bay, expres
sions of the convictions that he had
entertained for years of this locality's
future. As to the praise that had
been paid him by J. W. Bennett for
the boosting he had done", he said
that he wished to place tho credit
where it largely belonged to Walter
Lyon, the secretary of the Chamber
of Commerce. He said that Mr.
Lyon had been largely responsible
for tho great amount of good that
