TCHE
STATE TO BUILD RAIL
ROADS? Of course the state will go slow
about accepting Governor Chamber
lain's suggestion for a state-built
xoad across Central Oregon or a road
built by private capital with state
suaranteed bonds. No doubt it
might bo possible to amend the con
stitution under the initiative so that
'the state could embark on railroad
xschemes, or do a thousand other
things now wisely forbidden by, the
constitution. It may be an advantage
of course to be able to amend the
jconstltutlon to suit every new notion
or fancy or need of the public mind;
ljut it Is likewise the chief menace
and danger of the Initiative. If the
constitution is in anybody's way,
change it. We havo no constitution
In Oregon guaranteed to last over
nfght, says the Portland Oregonian.
There have been state-aided and
.county-aided railways in the past,
lusually or uniformly with loss or dls
ssster to the tax-paying public. Unl--versal
experience is against it. It is
ibad business and may spell bank
ruptcy. If the state builds a rail--road
across Central Oregon, there
"will be no argument to advantage
ragainst building a railroad to Coos
JBay or Tillamook, to Klamath, or to
-any nook or corner of the state that
wants a road and would undoubtedly
Jbe benefited by its construction.
'The suggestion that the legislative
Tower of taxation against the rall-
Toads and railroad property be used
as a means of bringing Mr. Harri-
anan to a proper sense of his duty
-rand accountability to the people of
'Oregon is infinitely wiser and more
feasible than the scheme for the
state to go into the railroad business.
COOPERATION IS URGED.
' What the people of Coos county
-want to do is to all pull together.
""What is good for one part of the
county is good for the whole county;
and what is good for one town is
good for cveiy town in the county.
'The thing to do is to lay aside all
r petty Jealousies and work together
as n united people for the develop
rment of the wholo county and the
sooner everyone realizes this fact, the
' sooner will the desired results be ac
complished. Coos county Is the rich
est part of Oregon, and then there
to other counties through which a
irallroad would extend, when coming
Into this one that would make it a
dividend paying proposition at once,
ilf Mr. Hnrrlman or any other rall
Toad magnato would just take tho
time to investigate tho situation, tho
Tallroad would bo forth coming as
-.soon as they could push it through.
While Coos Bay and tho Coqulllo val
ley aro dovoloping rapidly, yet they
cannot reach tho zenith of their pos
rslblllties until the railroad is com
pleted through this section. Bandon

.'A POINTER FOR FRUIT GROWERS
Tho owner of a chorry, and pear
orchard in one of tho fruit sections
of Washington lias posted notices of
warning about his placo as follows:
"Cherries all gone. No use to tear
vvt pants climbing through tho
linrbed-wiro fonco until tho pears aro
Tlpo." On being Interviewed a3 to
uvhy ho chose that way Instead of ap
pealing to tho usual methods used
fin such enses, the orchardlst replied:
"Well, I romember that when I was
5 a 'boy I stole chonlcs and wouldn't
have liked for any one to have had
me arrested. I never destroyed any
thing, nnd now I don't caio so much
for tho cherries as I do for having
tho treos broken down."
SEE MR. HILL.
Tho Governor told tho Coos Bay
peoplo that he could glvo thorn no
ronson to hopo that Hnrrlman will
build them n ratlrond. Now ho
might go and hold a conforonco with
Hill, nnd sco what encouragement
can bo had from that souice. Port

The Old Record Broken.
How dear to this heart is the phono
graph's singing!
What fond recollections my memo
ry stir!
Sweet Jane does the winding and
turns on the music
While I sit and tell her the tunes
I prefer.
But, oh, how it tears my nerve sys
p tem to tatters, ,
Oh, how it deranges my comfort
and bliss,
When Jane idly slips on an old
broken record
Which reels off a song that sounds
something like this:
"The old oaka - ka bucka -bucka-bucka-
,
Ir-r-r-r-r-r-r bou-wow-wow (crick

My stock of canned music I hall as
a treasure;
For often when callers appear on
the scene
And topics are scarce, It Is truly a
pleasure
To bring out our dear little talking
machine.
The time passes quickly and every
one's iiappy;
The phonograph pleases till Jane,
so remiss,
Forgets about winding the works of
the treasure,
Which drawls out a tune that goes
something like this:

You often hear of the library in

Isn't it a fact that you read wherever

another woman.
Mary Helen, 4 years old, is very
brave, and is usually perfectly will
ing for her mother to leave her after
she has put her to bed and has given
her her favorite doll. But one night
after she had been left a. short while
she called loudly for her mother.
"Why, Mary Helen!" her mother
asked, "what is the matter with
you?"
"I'm tired of staying up here with
nobody but God and my dolly. I
want somebody with skin on," she
sobbed.
Boarding House Geometry.
A scientific friend of mine has
drawn up a boarding house geome
try that strikes mo as being note
worthy, said a youth with a third
story "front."
Some of his definitions run as fol
lows: 1. All boarding houses are the
same boarding houses.
2. Boarders in the same board
ing house, and on the same floor, aro
equal to one another in the matter
of price, but not in the matter of
outlook.
3. A single room is that which
has no parts and no magnitude.
4. The landlady of a boarding
house is a parallelogram; an oblong,
angular figure which cannot be de
scribed, but is equal to anything.
5. All the other rooms being
taken, a single room is said to be a
double room.
Among postulates and proposi
tions the following are worthy of
consideration:
1. A pie may be produced any
number of times.
2. The landlady may be reduced
to her lowest terms by a series of
propositions.
3. A bee-line may be drawn from
one boarding house to another.
4. The clothing of a boarding
house bed, although extending in
definitely In both directions, will
never meet.
5. Any two meals at a boarding
house are together less than one
square meal. Harper's Weekly.
