The Bandon Concert band which
.gives the first of two concerts at the
Masonic Opera House this evening,
Is a musical organization of which
every resident of Coos county may
well be proud. It is no disparage
ment of the local band to say that the
Bandon musicians rank among the
leaders in the state. The Marshfleld
band is making excellent progress,
but It has not the years of compact
.and careful organization and expert
Instruction which have won for the
Bandon band an enviable place
among Oregon musical organizations.
The concerts to be given tonight and
tomorrow evening are deserving the
generous patronage of the people of
Coos Bay for the band is practically
giving two days of its time to the
District Fair and these concerts are
for the purpose of defraying ex
penses. The Times is pleased to give
Its earnest and cordial endorsement
2to this entertainment, not only be-e.-a.ijse
of the real merits of the attrac
tion but as an acknowledgment of
the genuine spirit of good fellowship
and friendliness manifest by their
action In contributing their services
so liberally to the District Fair.
Every citizen of Coos Bay who pos
sibly can do so should attend one of
these concerts- and will not only be
well repaid In hearing some excellent
music but add to the feeling of good
'fellowship that should exist between
dill sections of Coos county and par
ticularly Increase the entente cor
dlale which exists between Coos Bay
and Bandon, the city by the sea.
We've Got n Telephone.
We've got a telephone at last,
And wife Is quite content.
She says the news comes In so fast
She hasn't spent a cent
For literature of any kind,
She hears the neighbors tell
So much of things that're going on,
She listens for that bell,
Apd, when some one begins to talk,
She takes receiver down,
And then she knows how everything
Is going on in town.
I'd like to use the phono sometimes
And get the price of grain,
And call the Weather Bureau up,
And learn when it will rain.
But all the wrnien on our line
Have got so much to say,
I wait and wait, while other men
Are drawing In their hay.
And then I say a word or two
And wish that telephone
Was anywhere but in my house,
Or I'd a line alone.
Exchange.
The day after the gossips jump a
man he appears on the street with
all his children, and takes them to
an ice-cream parlor.

PROMISED RAILROADS.
"E. H. Harriman was waylaid by
a. reporter while en route west, and
questioned about his railroad work
.on the coast. The gist of his an--.twer
was this: "We will build rail
roads as fast as the people of Ore
gon pay us enough profits so that
-we can build roads without spend
ing our own money." What a con
. solution and bright prospect for the
isolated portions of Oregon! The
Harriman roads have taken enough
. jrofits from Oregon to build twenty
roads like the projected line from
Drain to Coos Bay, and still Harri
man talks about profits. The appro
priation for the Coos Bay-Drain road
xwis made In 1905, and some work
was -executed; just enough to dis-
-courage any other systom fromsmak
Jng preparations for seeking out'tho
WAluablo traffic on the coast. In
TfOOG It really looked as If the road
was to be a reality. Sufficient rails
-wore assombled to build three
fourths of the lino; grading was
done; tunnel work was started;
.brldgo material was shipped to both
sends of the road, and every Indica
tion pointed to speedy completion of
othe branch. But practically every
vparticle of material has been taken
to other points since then, and tho
prospects are not favorable for ex
pecting any resumption of tho work
for somo years.
Coos Bay has appointed a commit
tee of prominent men to visit Harrl
raaan during his vacation at Klamath
TFallB, and urge upon him tho need
of a railroad to connect with the out
sldo world. This committee will
Ukoly bo received nnd entertained
-with all duo courtesy and receive
jj-romlses on which to base hope for
vTtiJlof. It Is easy to promise. Har
irlucan said threo years ago that tho
Mine -would be built and ready for
-operation Insido one year. He la no
doubt willing to inuko tho samo sta
tement again. Tho Southern Pacific
will bo built into Coos Hay when tho
Northwestern makes Its approach, or
when tho electric rond, which Is tho
Great Northern, comes down the val
ley nnd strikes towards tho coast.
Until all tho othor roads now jockey
ing for place In Oregon look dangor-
ous, Harriman and his bunch will
rest on their oars and toll tho people
they will havo a road somo day.

"When you are In Rome you must
do as the Romans do."
"That Is what I used to think, but I

Plan For Previousncss.
In London they propose to turn tho
clocks ahead nn hour so as to Induce
the people to got up earlier In tho
warning, so as to bo through with
their work In order to enjoy the long
summer evenings nnd Mill -go to bed
before they have burned up ail of tho
midnight oil in the house.
That comes us near to catching time
firmly by tho forelock and jerking it
hastily Into tho middle of last week as
anything we have beard of.
Maybe It can be done. Wo are
slaves to the clock, getting hungry as
It points to the dinner hour and grow
ing weary toward quitting time, al
though we had not thought of It be
fore. However, It lemalns to be seen
whether the scheme will woik out In
practice. Asy nr.tion that can train
Itself to get up an hour earlier. In tha
morning ought to have such perfect
control of itself thut It could conquer

which was took down during the play
by my sister Mayme. She's going
to business college for shorthand,
you know, and every time she goes to
a show she takes down most of the
lines for practice. It costs a lot for
paper, but I think it's a grand experi
ence for the kid, don't you? But
here Is somo fine poetry, I think:
" 'Ah, dear Diomedes, the night
steals on,
Riding the clouds in sombre majesty.
Nothing save Greece and you and I
and love
Or rather, sweet, since you and I are
Greece,
Nothing save Greece and love; dear
Greece, dear Love!"
"Was it her afflnlty, this Diomedes
fellow?" asked the Head Barber.
"No, ho was single and she was
single," replied the Manicure Lady.
"Single people don't have affinities.
Her name was Helen, and she loved
this fellow Diomedes with all her
heart and soul. Diomedes was a
trust president, so he couldn't love
anybody heart and soul, but he did
the best he could and loved her with
all his heart. Here Is what he says
back to her:
" 'Dear Helen, I was walking yes-
tevere
Among the stars that Illumine Attica.
My heart was rioting within my
breapjj$
And In a foment of unholy yearning
I stopped -and plucked a star. The
whole;sky shrieked
And shudderlngly I beat it back to
earth,
Lugging along the star "which I had
copped.
I reached the earth when morn was
sprinkling dew
And when I looked again the star
was you!'
"Say, George, when I heard them
lines I cried, Mayme, she cried too,
and her hand shook till she couldn't
hardly hold her pencil to take down
the lines in shorthand."
"Them shows Is all right In their
place," said the Head Barber, "but
them old poets was too stingy with
their .rhyme business. Look at Jack
Flanagan, kiddo. He don't sidestep
any rhymes just because it takes
hard work to find them. 'I'm a Yan
kee Doodle Dandy, I'm the boy that's
all the candy, I'm proud, I am, so's
Uncle Sam.' That's the dopo for me.
"Them old-time poets wouldn't
know a rhyme If they saw one riding
on one of O'Kelly's boats. No sir. If
the public in the old days paid to see
that kind of shows and hear that
kind of poetry, the public was being
maced."
"Some people," said the Manicure
Lady, "hasn't got any room in their
souls for dramatic and literary art."
"Us Coos Bayltes have no room In
our souls for anything since the old
town has got so crowded," replied
the Head Barber.

newed, being done on any of tho Har
riman projects of the Northwest,
other than the extension Into Central
Oregon, In the near future, was af
firmed by General Manager J. P.
O'Brien, this morning. According to
him, all the "sinews of war," of la
bor, capital and material will be con
centrated on the Invasion of the vast
undeveloped regions of the central
part of the state, under the condi
tions as outlined by Governor Cham
berlain. This means that no extension work
will bo done on the WUIsburg-
Beaverton cut-off this year. That
may be taken to mean that the Har
riman Interests will probably ask
the Portland City council for a year's
extension of time for the removal of
the tracks from Fourth street In this
city.
There will be no work done on the
"Lytle road" from Hillsboro to Til
lamook, In spite of the fact that
Julius Kruttschnitt, director of main
tenance and operation of the Harri
man system, has just concluded an
inspection trip into that territory.
It also means that the Coos Bay
Drain line will be abandoned for this
season, and that if the people of Coos
Bay want any transportation facili
ties within tho next year they will
have to provide by other means than
through Harriman agencies.
"The situation Is merely this,"
commented Mr. O'Brien, "We have
just about so much money in sight
to spend Within a given time, and It
seems to be Mr. Harrlman's idea to
spend this money in building roads
where there seems to be the most
urgent need of them. Tho Tilla
mook road was not mentioned while
we were In conference with Mr. Har
riman at Pelican Bay. We did not
discuss tho line from Coos Bay to
Drain, nor tho Wlllsburg-Beavorton
cutoff, and no mention was made of
the extension of our lino to Puget
Sound. Our attention was devoted
to the one project, the extension Into
Central Oregon and I am inclined to
think that tho other projects will
have to be delayed for another year.
