HE. PUBLICATION in a'be- htnd-the-times ', morning con temporary of the sale of the preckels holding of -property around Coos bay to the'Harriman in terests, an interesting and important transaction told about six weeks ago in Th$ JqurnaV but justdiscovered by the Silurian sleepy-heads affords, now that the construction : of rail roads to that, region seems assured, a - basis of some observations as Xo its prospects ' and - the relations of the - railroads thereta.;"V.v.::' .',;. 1 .The Cobs bay region undoubtedly has a great future before it. With the completion of the "railroad, ' or rather, railroads, to. that resourceful part of Oregon a vast amount of im- provement and '- development should take place. Yet Coos' bay calling the ; region all around and back of the bay thus for short rmay, be seriously handicapped in-the future, as it has been in the past,', by the ownership by one, two or three corporations of so great a proportion of Its. lands, rights of way, water frontage, mines, timber, town lots and .industrial -es- . tablishments. J t'ri& : ' For man years Elijah Smith, of -Coos- bay and New -York, has-been an incubus upon that region He owns a vast amount of raw property that he would neither develop nor - selLThaSpreckels family, that have now sold out to the Southern Pacific and "Whd owfiedrThirlaf gesftnteresti in that region, did better by it They i developed to tome extent, because their mam interests were in San Fran cisco and they could make Coos bay a feeder end they knew that a great rise in values consequent upon, the advent of railroads would occur some , time. Captain Simpson, also an owner " of large holdings' there, and his son, Mayof I J. Simpson of North Bend, have done much to develop the in--dustrics that- -ere - be in g- a ad -will - be , built 'Dp there. So large property owners and manipulators have "not been altogether detrimental to that region; indeed,' without them, and finally without the action of the Har riman interests, the present and pros pective development there could not have occurred.-r '':'. -:- "'', v" Yet it will be bad for Coos bay for one corporation to hold indefinitely such an immense amount of property, - the controlling interestin fend, tim ber, mineral ground, waterfronts, . rights ef :" way ...and town lots unlesi that corporation adopts a liberal and progressive policy, one calculated rapidly to develop that region and to fill it up with producing settlers and manifold industries and to give every- , body a fair chance. The lands should be sold at ' a moderate valuation. There should be competition in va ' rious - lines of industry. Town lots should, not be held at exorbitant prices for purposes of - speculation. To sum up the whole matter, the Southern Pacific will pursue the best . policy for its own as well as others' interests by actually developing that region and giving all investors and - workers a fair chance, and so gradu- , ally get rid of i.ts holdings except such -, as are directly necessary to the car rying on of its business. - -Thua-and -fNt-teerwie-willCo bsy grow, expand, prospej. and be- : jcome famous as it ought to do. It will have a railroad or railroads; that : is - much, but the next question is: How will the railroad that owns most of that region that holds the key to It treat ft? This is so interesting and important question for the people Of Coos bay.'1'. f .: -' ;" ' ' ACTIVE OLD HEN. DR. OSLER, even if he said what was attributed to him .. about chloroforming men st tVJ, and if he had been in-earnest in the remark, would doubtless ' have been willing to ' make some excep tions. ' Not to mention Gladstonethe tits pope, pa Lesscps and .-many others now 'dead, but who labo'red successfully' and eminently for more than a score of . years" beyond that age, behold the" Alabama senators, Pettus at 85 and Morgan at 82, and both expecting reelection when their present terms expire.. Pettus has jet two years to serve of his present term, so that if he should be re elected it will be at the age of 87, and if he lives through that term he may desire reelection at the age of 91 He is said to be sound and active. physically and mentally, and fully able to attend to his duties.'; And Morgan is as diligent in attendance and senatorial work now as ever and can make a speech of several hours' duration at any time. Then there is Whyte oftJlaryland, who is 83,. and several other aged "men who ' seem good ; for - several : years' i work ".- and honors yet V A man's age is not . to be determined by the number of years since he was born, but by his physi cal, mental and moral ; condition. Some men are younger, at 80 than others arq at 50. As to women, there may be considerable truth in the say ing that they are as old as they look. EVEN BOSTON ADVERTISING. EVEN OLD Boston, which one - might have supposed would so , undignitied, if it follows its mayor's, advice,! will establish a 'per manent publicity' bureau to advertise that city's attractions and advantages, not only as a tourist and convention center,' but as an inviting place for the Investment of outside capital in manufacturing enterprlaes. - True, ; if this' be done, it will not be without some protests and, doubts as to whether so ancient and fametLa town should stoop to such artifices, but the Boston Globe, which should be good authority on almost any subject, as sures the doubters and objectors that there is nothing inherently revolu tionary, or even remarkable, in the idea " of a community advertising itself, and if it is done to a business like and "conservative, way there can be"no objection to it" : -- The Globe goes on to cite the esse of California, and "many of the Pa cific ' coast and Interior' cities of the United States," saying. that, the cost of such advertising has been a very profitable Investment Canada also, it remarks, is - spending -hundreds of thousands of dollars in , advertising that country, the government having gone into 'the exploitation business on a big scale, with. particular refer ence, to attracting settlers and in- vestorrfrom Eureperbur-by-rTio means overlooking the field on. its southern borders in consequence of which rtens - of - thousands ;of ;f eople are pouring into Its different. prov inces and developing hs great natural resources.--, ? Has Oregon as a state or Portland as a city done enough, or are they doing enough; of this sort of adver tising ? V W , did a good big job of it last year in holding the Lewis and Clark- f aifr but 4his should be followed up even more than is being done, and we hope the next legislature "will look at the matter in a broad and liberal way and make 'an appropria tion, under carefully guarded condi tions, in addition to ons for the state's representation st Jamestown for carrying on this work. , Councilman Sharkey says a paving company tried to bribe him to sup port measure It-wanted-adopted 4y the council, and a contemporary says thft'charges are considered serious." Tut, tutl ' Ths charges ar jocular, mirth-provoking pleasantries. But we should like to ace Councilman" Shar key prove them. That would take the joke out of them.' " . . A "Made in Oregon" product of which those who have had a hand in Its making may welt be proud Is the Pacific Monthly.

WhatT Why "The Oenlus" a rendered by Nat Goodwin and company at the Helllg last night In the first place, there la Goodwin. Ha. wow hla apnra ff H apd hard work and is not -a machln-mad star by any means. His work in "Th Oenlua ls as broad, as artistic, as reallstlo as It has been In other playa. Goodwin does not work to climaxes with him every line, erary - word has IU value. "If a sentence lan't wqrth. giving the beet of attenUon, cut It out; It lan't needed In th play." he has said, and he acta on that theory. - '. "The Oenlus" la the story of Jsck peoeer, a rich young man. who falls In lor with woman Inclined toward artlatlo temperament- Spencer doesn't happen te hav any, so he sets about getting it He visits a,J3ohem1an studio wnere n nnda three artists musi cian, a painter, -av sculptor. - He pro posea that he sign all their work, get crltloa to make him famous, give the artists all the money and keep th fam ror nimir. Then be expects to lay the fame at the feet of his lady-love and win her In a walk. - wnue no is st tne studio, the lady-love-aooompalned by an aunt' ajr?a cm io, come in to see how real artists really live. Spencer quickly dons dauber's garb and allows them to dis cover him at work. He muddlaa things by mixing ths few artlatlo terms he has been told to use. . And whan he gets hopelessly meddled he esks them to leave because an Inspiration la upon him, and they do, with the Idea that he la a great artist The ciitlo gives the news to the world, th artist be oome rloh, and Spencer get his fame. "Then the lady-love ' cornea to him In his studio snd says It was all a mistake and that aha will marry, him. But Spencer doesn't want her than, be cauae he has fallen in love with Nell Graham, his model. Circumstances force him to announoe his engagement to the lady-lore while the model he really loves hides behind a screen. Then, in order to get, the lady-love to throw him over so "he can marry ths modal, Spenoer deftounees himself as an Impostor, saya he la a Her but no genius and the ldel-woruhiplng public ab solutely refuse to - believe him. He finally realises his purpose by making the lady-love believe his marriage with her would be the death of his Inspira tion. And then the curtain eetchoa him With the pretty model In his arms. Ths play Is a good vehicle for - ths cleverness of Nat Goodwin. It la un Accessory to say anything about the Star," for "every playgoer knows the sterling worth ss a comedian.

My Socialism.. By Upton Sinclair, Author of "The Jun gle," Eta. , , Socialism Is first ef all a science whloh deals with the evolution of hu man society. Incidental to Its interpre tation of the - process, ' It venture a prophecy ee to the -next atage through which the social organisation will pass; which Is, that the present .competitive. production and distribution of wealth will be abolished in favor of a system of cooperation, whereby production may be properly regulated, and each producer may be guaranteed the full value of his labor. Socialism Is -a soienoe of econom ic; and there are endless varieties Of competition In which it could in no conceivable way Interfere; the eompetl- Hon ef love, and ef courtship; thecom-"l petition of political life; the competition of Ideas, of mualo and books. Of philoso phy and science, it is the claim ot ths socialists that by setting men free from the money-greed and the money-terror from the need of struggling to deprive other men ot the necessities Of life. In order to prevent them from depriving you or thess necessities the mind of th race would be set free for more vigorous competition In these other fields, and thus the development of real individuality would be for the first tlms made posslbla " This being the desire of the socialist It should be clear how fundamental la the ' mlsoonoeption of Mr. Bryan, Indicated by the bare title of a recent .article of his, "Individual ism , Vsrsus Socialism." . Socialism is not opposed to ' Individualism, and te sat the two In opposition Is like the attempt to Imagine a fight' between an elephant and a whala . - Soelallam Is -a - proposition - for' sn economic . reorganisation; as such, ths only thing to which it can logically and intelligently be opposed is capitalism. The fundamental tenet of eooiallsm Is that all competition eontalne within it self the seeds of its own destruction; snd that sooner or later, ths -period must corns to every industry where competition Is no longsr posslbla What ever the Individual soolallst might hold about tha desirability , of suppressing competition prior to thst time,, certainly all would bs agreed upon the practical question of the possibility . of suoh a suppression., Socialist believe that progress In society Is conditioned-"b eononilu vgutsrfthdtnat It Is only the destruction os competition, and the es tabltshn.ent of monopoly, with the eco nomic distress -which .this occasions that prepares men for ths ehsngs to public .ownership and makes It possible to rouse them to the point of action. It ls this patient contentment with ths avnlntlonarv nroceaa which la muL cnaraoterlatlo of " soofellsts, snd makes ths view commonly taken or them as "dreamers" so amusing to them. Equally beside the mark is ths Idea, which Mr. Bryan expresses In ths phrase that they "would substitute altruistic for selfish motives." As a matter of faot their whole appeal Is to the slowly awaken ing self-interest ef the masses Ex tracted from an. article In Wllshlre's Msgastna ' " of social conversation filled -up the -gap, while the soft drink establishments sur rounding the theater did a rushing busi ness. .....
