Mr. K. has been doing quito n good busi­ ness this winter. It seems likely at this time that the next vessel to be built at tbe Kruse shipyard will be a fine pas­ senger and freight steamer to ply between this port and San Fran­ cisco. It is proposed that the boat shall be built by San Franoisco and Coos Bay capital, a good proportion of tbe stock to be owned on tbe Bay. I t is now stated on the authority o f Capb Colstrup that ar­ rangements are practically com­ pleted, and the steamer will be con­ structed and placed on the route. She will have a carrying capacity of about 300,000 feet of lumber, be­ sides miscellaneous freight. She will also have accommodations for about thirty first class passengers. Thero w ill be plenty of business for a boat of this kind, and in the line of passenger travel she is bad­ ly needed. That she is to be con­ structed on the Bay is a matter of congratulation and will give the people here a feeling of interest in her.— Mail. The Commoner, Mr. Bryan’s pa­ per, will be especially interesting and instructive duriDg the present session of congress. The action of this congress will probably deter­ mine the ¡Bene upon which the next presidential campaig will be fought. The Commoner proposes to carry on a campaign of education and or­ ganization to the end that Demo­ cratic principles may triumph. In addition to the editorial de­ partment, which receives Mr. Bry­ an’s personal attention, The Com­ moner contains a Current Topic de­ partment, wherein a non-partisan discussion of topics of timely inter­ est and other valuable information w ill be found. The Home Depart­ ment is conducted by an experienced woman who is widely known as a writer of household topics and who is an authority on the art of cooking in all that the term implies. This department alone is worth the sub­ scription price. The other depart­ ments of the paper are all interest­ ing and ably conducted, among which is a summary of the world's news told in narrative style, and Mr Maupin’s department— Whether Common or N ot—contains original anecdotcr nnd wit, moral lessons in homely phrase nnd verse,nnd appeals to old and young alike. a N t 'lc u llllr D lw o r e r r .

The Commoner as a whole is clean, entertaining nnd instructive, and its rapid increase in circulation— now amounting to 140,000 -is proof of the paper’s strength and influence.
