WITH COOS HAY liAHOlt
Til BUB was unite n little feeling,
and Justifiably so, at North
Uend Inst night and today, be
causo the contractor, Edward Sen
berg, who is building the Connecti
cut nvcttuo sewer, dismissed some
of the local men ho had in his em
ploy and brought Into tho city a
number of foreigners to work on
tho project. Those who objected to
tho action of the contractor rightly
took tho position that the public
Improvevements must be paid for by
the property owners and that whnt
lalor was employed should, as far
as possible, be chosen from local
Mien who were out of work. In
shot I they felt thnt what money
was to bo spent for work should l'
kept nt home. On tho other nam),
the contractor tnkes tho stand Hint
he made n small bid for tho work,
that he lost money on part nf It
because he tried to uso inexperienced
workmen and that ho has furnished
a bond for the successful completion
of the work nnd that It Is up to him
to deliver tho completed Job, ac
cording to contract nnd mnke a prof
It If ho can. From that viewpoint
the contractor Is, of course, within
ills rignis mm nis nominees nuunn
h's business nnd hns his reasons
for employing whom he pleases, but
......
the City Council should
provide i
.gainst such contingencies before
contracts aro let. Itlght now condl-
tlons uro soinowlint unusun There
are ninny men on Coos Hay nnd In
North Honil who nro out of wcrk.
The construction of tho sewer it'ist
bo paid for by tho people, and nol
doubt at these times tho burden Is
co'ishlernblo to a good many. In
lOiiHoquonco the people feel that the
money they nro paying nut -ihould
ho In return paid for local labor, as
fa.' uc It can be, and ns u matter
of fuel, this. Is right. A community
must take enro of Itself and If the
gentleman who holds tho contract
for tho sewer shows pruforoneo to
local men ho will most certainly gain
the good will of tho community.
Thero Is a suggestion mid n lesson
In this Incident and that Is that tho
City Council In letting contrnrts
should protect local labor. Coos Hay
Improvements that nro paid for by
Coos Hay money should bo done by
Coos Hay labor.

If with pleasure you are viewing any work a man is
doing, ' .
If you like him or you love him, tell him now;
Don't withhold your approbation till the parson makes
oration ,
As he lies with snowy lilies o'er his brow.
For, no matter how you shout it, he won't really
care about it;
He won't know how many teardrops you have, shed;
If you think some praise is due him, now's the time to
slip it to him, $ :
For he cannot read his tombstone when he's dead.
More than fame and more than money is the comment
kind and sunny,
And the hearty, warm approval of a friend;
For it gives to life a savor, and it makes you stronger,
braver '
And it gives you heart and spirit to tho end.
If he earns your praise bestow it; if you like him, let
him know it;
Let the words of true encouragement be.said.
Do not wait till life is over and he's underneath the clover
For he cannot read his tombstone when he's dead.

Perhaps thnt Is tho explanation of
the lack of interest in his death. Hut
If Hubbnrd had boon one of tho

of one of tho victims, that "Mes-

with whnt ho inlglil have written

by Kulph Moody, the Southern Pacif

and Fontaine Mr. Moody was nsked
about thu supremo court decision' luot

"I have been uwny from my office
bIiico tho decision was given by the

not want to iiinko liny statement us
to what will bo the pollcty or tho le

say positively that the decision or
tho supremo court is such that there
will bo no iireforenco rights. I havo
not yet had tho opportunity or see
ing the full text or the decision lis t
havo been I raveling for several days
past, but as I understand It tho mat
ter or tho disposition of tho laiid of
tho railroad depends upon tho action
of congress. Hut It Is clear to mo
that those who may have attempted
settlement upon the O. & C. lands or
thoso who havo made lender to pur

congroBs should rulo that tho South
