THERE Is every evidence heforo the country tha,t .Innies J. Hill Is one of tho great men of tho na tion. Ho Is broad minded and .Is truly an empire builder. He has been saying of late some of tho very bent things to encourage men who havo lost their nerve. Ho says that tho best times the country has ever bad are just ahead, with nothing but confidence' needed to mnko the turn In tho road. If tho Chamber of Commerce or tho pcoplo In conven tion nssemblcd on Coos Uay would Invito Mr. 1111 and could prevail him to visit this city and make one of his practical talks, It would help amaz ingly. Wo have too many fellows liero who, If told thnt times are go ing to be booming In the not distant future, will say: "Well, I hope that will prove true," with nn evi dent leaning toward tho doubt.. Mr. Hill, with his magic touch, would llx thesa fellows all right with one of Ills half hour talks, but then of course, tliero are men In this com jimnlty who are never hnppy unless thoy are miserable. These nre the Jtnockers. LITE'S HURREXS. The scrap for existence Is much llko a fray that leaves Its deep scars on the body and mind; but when I go home at tho close of tho day 1 leavo nil my workaday worries be hind. My home Is my rofugu from trouble and care, and nothing but pence shnll go In nt tho door; I won't bring distress to tho loving ones there by tolling my worries nnd thrashing them o'er. Tho dny, with Hh struggle and profit nnd pelf, shall have nil tho effort thnt I can bestow; tho evening belongs to my wife nnd myself', nnd naught that Is sordid or mean shall It know. Some dnv J may meet In my pathway a grief too big nnd too husky to tackle alone, nnd then I will go to my wife for relief, nnd we shnll o'ercomo It, I'll liot my Inst bono. Hut all tho small worrloH that mnko a man grny, whon blows tho night whlstlo nro laid on tho nholf; such troubles belong to tho strenuous day the evening belongs to my wlfo nnd myself. WALT MASON.

WATKINS SAYS WAIT. EDITOR TIMES: I am opposed to naming Mnrsh fleld Coos liny. The principal rea son is because It will lead to endless confusion. Adopt that name and there Is nothing to distinguish tho town from tho bay proper. It is ap parent. Suppose Portland was called Willamette. In speaking of either tho town or the river nbout half the time you would be obliged to say, I mean the town, or I menu the river, or I nm now speaking of tho town or of the river as the case might be. Names nre used for tho purpose of distinguishing ono person or one thing from another. Wo use names for identification thnt Is what names are for, otherwise wo wouldn't need names at all. Again, the town would loso Its Ideuty en tlrejy Cods Day don't suggest tho name of a town to anybody In tho slightest degree. A bay suggests a body of water only. It don't sug gest n town nt all. Adopt this folly and you will have endless trouble In one way nnd another explaining that tho town nnd the hay bear tho same nnmo. Anyway, is It discreet at this time to- apply tho nnmc of Coos Uay to the present limits of Mnrshncld7 Thcro nre thoso whoso good will and co-operation wo want outside of Mnrshfleld. Mnrshlleld is not tho only ngato on tho Coos Day bench. There nro others. Would It not bo more discreet, Just and wise to wait until consolidation Is n fact nnd let our neighbors have a hand in select ing a name? Our neighbors havo some Interests and some rights thnt wc ought to respect In tills matter, It occurs to me. Mllllcomn Well now thnt Is n pretty nnmo In n way. Tho pro nouncing of it brings recollections of our fuzzy days, when everything looked pretty to us, days when wo wore our hats askew,, cultivated a curl on our forehead nnd invested all our spare earnings In cologne, hair oil and goose- grease. It classes along with "Adown the dimpled Doon," Willie, Algernon nnd tho like. It Is suggcstlvo of thnt far away look and pipe drcnniB. It Is n most ap propriate nnmo for n small club, or a fcmnlo kitten or a ewe lamb but for a thriving, bustling, strenuous llttlo city NEVER. GEO. WATKINS. PATSY RUNS ASHORE.

SACRAMENTO, Cal Oct. 23 Monslgnor T. J. Cupel, n world famous Catholic dlvlno 4 ,, (K.0 ,,r vnt0 mml,orlnll, (o 4 th ,,, ' ,s ,,liml ,.,, T i1"' L" 12', Z Olympic Flour Highest Quality VIEWS ON MARSHFIELD COOS RAY OR MILLICOMA. (From Portland Telegram) The people of Murshfleid nre dis cussing a change of name. As wo understand from tho report ut the matter, they nro to vote upon the alternative of "Coos Buy" or "Milll coma." Tills is ono of those cases where no outsider has any business to butt I In; but with this fuct lu mind, out ' aiders are apt to have an opinion one i vuy or the other, nnd If that opinion be expressed with becoming modes Ity, they nre to bo purdoned for giv ing it uttoraucc. There seems to bo doubt nbout tho orlKln of tho word "Coos." its ns- sumed Indian derivation is disputed, it is held to be a corruption by tho "canny Scotsman," who ns nn early traveler lu that country designated It as n "coo's" or a "cow's" country. This may not bo the strictly anti quarian account of tho matter but it ls substantially the statement of one I side of the case. On the other side I there is Coos county lu New liump I shire, tho derivation of which Is in 'dlsputably Indlnu. The proposed nnmo "Mllllcoma ' is vouched for ns u slmon-puru Indian word, oii4' advocate claiming for it that it menus tho equivalent of wel come, or thnt tho "latch string Is out," or something of thnt sort. An other advocate of the name suggests n romantic legend centering about tho (laughter of nn indlnu chief n mnlden who boro this molllltuous cognomen. About nil this there Is n haziness that Is extremely unsatisfactory. Wero it not so, ns it seems to iib, it would ho u case of plain sailing, If tho pcoplo of that community decided that thcro should bo u chnugo of name, that tho nnino which is of ap proved Indian origin should bo pro served by all menus, for wo nro let ting such names slip from us nil too readily. HONOR CAPT. HEHOMAX Uiupe-un Life Saving Station Crew Pi'cxcnt Him Loving Cup. Tho Florence West has tho follow ing concerning nn honor conferred upon Capt. Bergman who recently returned as keoper of that station: "In 1891, Mr. Bergman recoived an appointment ns keoper of tlio-Ump-quu Life Saving Station, serving twenty years, resigning on October 1, 1011. "Upon leaving tho sorvlco ho was presented with n beautiful solid sil ver loving cup standing ulno inches high nnd sovon Inches ncross with the following Inscription upon it, "Ump qua River L. S; S., Oct. 1st, 1011. presented to Keeper John lie rg in an by his crew." Whllo ho cannot thank tliom sulllclently for this mark of esteem It will servo as a connecting link between thorn In n separation which ho feels vory much. "Captain Rergman lias a solid gold medal authorized by sjieclnl net of congress for taking tho leading pnrt In tho rose no of people from tho Ill-fated steamer "Tnconin" tho stranding of which occurred January 29, 1S83. Finding such nn interest ing recital of tho wreck In the letter accompanying tho medal wo asked permission to publish it: Such n modal nnd such n letter nro rare things to receive nnd nro never given uiiloss well merited."

LIVES ARE TOO PRECIOUS to risk by the use of gasoline cook stoves. Tho gasoline stove has a long and ugly record of death dealing calamity. It is shunned by those whose homes it has burned down. The fire insurance companies fight the gas oline stove whenever they get a c h a n c e. They know what an extremely dangerous thing it is. But they offer no objections to Gus Stoves because the proper use of gas is SAFE, If you value safety in your home you cannot discard your gasoline cook stove too soon. Tomorrow may bo too late. You may think it expensive to have a gas range put in but we think wc can help you solve this problem. m Telephone 2sTo. ITS Oregon CONDENSED STATEMENT FIRST NATIONAL BANK .
