THE TIMES doffs ltB lint and makcsflts most profound snlaam to tho
progressive, enlightened, enterprising nnd intelligent people of tho
ji i. vi vuua utij. x iiuj juui mull UBUlB ttliu hum lu imsi'i b tiiuiii.
If any doubt over existed aB to tho progress, development nnd future
of Coob Bay It has been burled under a bundlo of ballots so deep thnt
It will never brcntho again. Such & community ennnot bo coerced or
controlled, it is aB lmposslblo to hold back such n people as It Is to
control tho ocean tides.
Tho returns are not nil in but what n great nnd glorious victory it
Is. Tho Times' suggestion that tho verdict bo mndo overwhelming
found henrty echo and endorsement In tho hearts of tho voters. It is
overwhelming, tremendous, sweeping. It carries away every vestige of
vantngo of tho reactionaries and recalcitrants. Tho knockers are knock
ed and tho boosters boosted. ProgreB takes her place In tho front
rnnk of tho Coos Bay procession. When the pcaplo of this community
ny to Uncle Snm that thoy hnvo nlmost unanimously endorsed n project
to oxpond $300,000 In Improving tho hnrbor of Coos Bay Uncle Sam will
bo compelled by tho very nssortlou and nssurnnco of such ontcrprlso to
take notice Then Coos Bay will como Into its own. Todny's rain drip
ping Bides- are rosy with tho golden glow of promise Tho pcoplo of
Coos Bay havo provon thnt they can got togothcr when It Is necessary
for tho promotion of progress. Thoro Is no division of sentiment on tho
question of tho dovolopmont of this community. Thoro mny bo n few
reactionaries who nro but flies on tho wheel of progress but tho commu
nity ns a whole is alert to advancement, enterprising nnd enthusiastic
for everything thnt will forward our Interests and dovolopoour great re
sources.
It was a ringing nnd rousing nnswor to tho chronic grumblers. It
was n stinging robuko for tho reactionaries. It heralds hopo for ovo-
ry m nn who bolloves in tho great futuro of this great community.
Thero were somo things in tho gcnoral and stato olectton that Tho
Times would chnngo if it wero ballot bearer to tho pcoplo but thero
aro no tears In tho Joy cup of Ths Times, today, thank you. Thero Is
Kindness enough In tho victory for pi ogress nnd development on Coos

Portuguese Gets Angry and
Wounds Another Employe
of Mill.'
ROSEBURG, Ore,, Nov. 10. An
tono Do Costa, a Poitugoso, was
brought he"re Monday night frorrf
Gardiner, by Deputy Shorlff Ash
worth, nnd lodged In Jail. Do Costa
plead guilty, before Justice Williams,
of Gardiner, to shooting James Wis
dom, of that place, In the leg .with a
shotgun, Both men were In tho cm
ploy of tho Gardiner Mill Co. It
seems that some of the employees
about tho mill had been twitting Do
Costa about some trivial matter, out
of which he devoloped a strong HI
feeling against Wisdom, although no
real offense had been Intended by
the latter. Last Wednesday, after
dark, Do Costa approached Wisdom
with a shotgun and as the latter
turned to flee shot him In tho back
of tho leg above the knee, nt a dis
tance of about 40 yards. Ab a re
sult tho latter Js confined to his bod
but his recovery is oxpectod in duo
tlmo. A's De Costa plead guilty
when arraigned, Justice WIlllamB
had no alternative but (o commit him
to jail to await the action of tho
Circuit Court.
