A YEAR OF PROMISE
FOR COOS HAY.
SIGNS substantial lndlcato tbat
191 C wilt bring renewed pros
perity to Coos Bay and the en
tire Pacific Northwest. A growing
spirit of optimism Is noted and
fwhoro tho psychic Influence springs
from material foundations, ns In this
caso, it becomes, In Itself, a powerful
factor.
Capital Is abundant and relatively
cheap. Tho rediscount rate of tho
Pacific Coast regional bank Is down
to 4 per cent on 30 day paper, tho
lowest rate In tho United States. Ev
en New York, Philadelphia and Bos
ton nro on a 4 M per cent basis and
Clovoland and Dallas have a five per
cent rate. This signifies nn abun
dance of money on tho Pacific coast.
Tho lumber business long depres
sed, Is responding to revivifying In
fluences and tho outlook has not ap
peared so encouraging In many
months. Tho Wall Street Journal
lias advices which "lndlcato that thcro
will be n resumption of activity In
tho lumber business of tho Pacific
Northwest."
President Elmer Dover of tho Ta
coma Ons Company states that many
lumber mills, somo of which have
been closed for two years, will re
sumo operations In tho next two
months and tho logging crows nro
now being put back, with all Indica
tions of nn nctlvo year in tho lum
ber industry in that section.
Manager Or ecu, formerly of Marsh
Hold, but now managor of tho Evor
ott Ons Company, also says that the
two largest mills of Evorett have
resumed operations.
Coos Bny has been most fortunnto
In tho fact that Its principal mill
novor closod. Tho people- of tho city
should npprecloto tho splendid sta
bility ntul resources of tho manage
ment of the C. A. Smith company
that lms continued operations during
a most discouraging and trying
period.
Now Hint thoro In promlso of bettor
times In the baslo Industry of this
section, thoro wll bo gonoral felicita
tion. Taken by and largo, every
thing Is In a sound and healthy con
dition on Coos Bay.
Unless nil signs fall, 1015, opening
In a sunburst or promlso, will bring
eoso and prosperity .to commorclnl
lines nnd labor.

Better meet a bill today than tho

Many a woman has a fine carriage

It's tho Iron grip of poverty that

A woman's Indifference has reach

when her husband talks In his sleep.
As a rule n woman spends a part
of her Ufo picking a husband nnd
the rest of It picking on him.
Today tho boy who Is sasslng
mother will grow up nnd marry a
woman who will not stand for any
pert talk.
