CUT-OFF PUN IS OPPOSED Coos River Ranchers Do Not Want It Shut Off Give Reasons For It. Residents of Coos River arc plan ning to send n big delegation to tlin next meeting of the Port of Coos Hay Commission to enter protest ngalnst the sliuttlng off of tho "Coos River cut-off." The Port Commission hnd the mntter up for discussion at re cent meetings owing to the clnlm that unless something Is dono soon, the channel of Coos River will chnngo to the cut-off ns the latter Is being rapidly widened and deepened by every little freshet. Tho Coos River ranchers who ale opposed to the shutting off of tho cut-off give two rensons for their at titude. One Is that tbo shuttlng-nff of the cut-off will prevent tho i mild How from Coos River during fresh ets and that consequently tho water will rise higher in the stream and do more dnmngc to tho lowlands in tho vnlloy. Another Is thnt the cut off saves considerable time In coming nnd going from Mnrshllcld and espe cially to mid from points on Catch ing Inlet. The Port Commission owing to the cost of tho proposed shutting off of tho cut-orf being about $4,000 has not tho funds to do It now nnd nt nny rate will not take final nctlon on It until tho Coos River residents have ample opportunity to present their Bide of tlie case.

HOW TO RE HAPPY THROUGH MARRIED (ny President Tnft) On the eve of his silver wedding anniversary, the president (unofll clnlly) mndo known tho secret of a "quarter of n century of wedded happi ness and success. t His recipe Vj: "AbBoluto and positive lovo for ono another nt the beginning. Ambition on the pnrt of both for tho success of tho family, with nn nbundnnce of energy on the pnrt of both to carry out their' ambition. "Tenm work.

"Hnvo moral courngo to reject nny thlng and everything requiring sub servience. "Unselfishness in nil rolntlons with mankind nnd n readiness to meet with nnd trent with all humanity. "A contliiunnco nnd growth of tho affection for one nnothor." Now tho most optimistic booster or nil this bay country hns not yet ventured thus fnr In his lnudhtory description of Coos Day's future, hence this stntoment may. nnd un doubtedly will, bo considered nn Mdlo drenm," by many, but here nro tho figures, denr render, take your mnp of Coos Ray and verify my cnlcula- tlons for yourself. The assertion nbovo mndo will bo proven by a comparison of the area of Coos Hay with thnt of what engi neers ncknowledgo will bo tho lnrgest harbor and dock system over con structed in tho world, nnmolv. tho hnrbor at the Pacific end of tho Pnn.v m a Cnnnl. As planned, tho Pnnnmn project Is to consist of n series of parallel piers and alternating slips, constructed on two opposlto sides of n rectnngulnr turning basin 3,000 feet wide be tween tho pier ends. Tho piers nro to bo each 1,000 ft long, nnd tho slips between, 300 feet wide, thus malting nmplo provision for docking tho biggest ship thnt floats, nnd for facilitating the loading nnd unload ing of any number of vessels nt tho snmo time. Held. Ho said, "tho most useless Indi vidual In the world Is tho sleepy head and llkowlso tho most usolesa follower of Christ 1b tho ono who la sleeping. Is It possible thnt men to day aro sleeping? I bollovo it Is. Tho ungodly mnn is surely asleep. Ho hath ears nnd hears not, eyes nnd sees not. Surely thnt Is sleeping. It seems to mo thnt tho cities of tlio Pacific coast nro nit nslcop In mut ters religious. Rut men who nro making riches their god will nwuko somc day, when It Is too Into, to HnJ thnt tho treasures of this world lmvo vanished and nil Is vanity.
