If wo cannot holp wo can at least bo conservative Msnouph not to interfere with the good n'fJierg alntiaiRe." ' M '' The following is excellent advice and 'if thopationt need it, it may bo taken freely without the least injury to tho party partaking. If there fa any cbanco to boom bus iness, bcom it, don't pull a long face and look as though you had a sour stom ach; hold up your head, smile and look for bettor things. Hido your littlo ham mer and try to speak well of others, no matter how small you may really know yourself to bi. When a stranger drops in, jolly him, toll him this is tho great' est town on carth-and it is. Don't die courage him by speaking ill of your neighbor, lead him to beleive be has at .last struck a.placo wbero white people Jivo. Don't knock. Help yourself along by bocoming popular and push your friends with you, it's dead easy. Be a fellow and Boon you'will have a procee eion of followers. No man over go t rich by trying to mako others believe be was the only man in town who knew anything. You can't climb the ladder cf success by treading on others' corns. 'Keep off tho corns and don't knock. You are not tho Only there are others and they have brains and know some things as wall as you. There is no end of fun minding your own business and it makes other people like you. Nobody gets stuck on a knocker, don't be one. Be good and stop it. THE FAIR APPROPRIATION The Otegonian 'gives a promlnont placebo en article by W. D. Fenton, ' pleading for the passage of the bill now be. fore the legislature, appropriating $590,. 000 for the LewiB and Clark Centennial. From Mr. Fenton's figures it appears ' that the share which: Coos will to have to pay toward the IC00.009, if the bill pass, will be t0,075 for each of the year ,1001 and 1003, or $10,150 In all If the gentlomen representing C003 county in the legislature can see any possible way in which Coos can get $10,150 worth of benefit from ttie exposition, then it will probably be their duty to vote for the bill; otherwise (he Mail can not eee why they should do eo. Of course, every country should take sorao prido in tho slate of which it is a part, but thero is 0 limit to the amount of cold cash which it should bo required to put up ns the measure of its pride. Ten thousand dollars seems top larao'n con tribution in this case! Mr. Fenton's plea that a largo amount i ' t Of stock, has hoed subscribed in Port- land is irrelevant. .Tho stock holders M ' ; "'- . , have the ' chance of keeping hyen or liven rnaklag honey on their investment, and tho larger tho slato appropriation tho hotter their chance; but tho taxpayers' contribu tion is given as a bonus' nnd there is no chance (or n draw-back. Owing to their situation, Coos nnd Curry counties are practically out of it, compared with tho rest of tho stain so far as reaping proportionate bonoflts from tho fatr aro concerned, and to ask this county to contribute 10,000 scorns somewhat out of reasons. However, if tho powers that bo can find no way of ignoring tho referendum provision of tho constitution tlo peoplo will havo a chanco t) votoon whatever appropriation bo made, and if It carry by popular voto we will simply have to stand it. ONE OF OUR NEEDS. """"Marshfield has need of more manufac turing plants, and among thoso for which there is tho best opening is a fur nituro factory. VTtlb Mail is informed that for tho establishment of tho latter a good offer wonld bo made by parties interested in the town. As has often been repeated, thero is some of tho finest of wood available here fcr tho mabufceturo of furniture, and there Uno'doubt'tnaVan enterprise of tbifc kind will bo started on the Bay soon. If Marshfield wants its sharo cf the good things that are coming it will have to get in and do a little hustling. The town is a free moral agont in this inatttr. It can sit back and sneer at progress and knock on every new enter prise in sight; or it can wako u p and tako advantage of its opportunities, en courage all legitimate enterprises and tho influx of desirable people Which "" " " " "--. -u mo growth and prosperity of the town? LAYIN-1 UP TROUBLE Tho developments in tbe senatorial fight at Salem ought to havo a clarify ing effect on tho political atmosphere in Oregon, to this extent: that it is shown how mnch tbe Oregon poll Ilea ns caro for tho will of the dear people. It ought to put an'end to a lot of hypocrit ical cant about favoring tbe election of senators by popular vote. No one who believes that the people should bo allowed to select their own senator has any good excuse for throw ing an obstacle in tbe way of Mr. Geer's election by tbe legislature. It makes littlo difference what the in dividual opinion may be as to Mr. Geer's fitness for the office, although oven his bitterest oppononts ought to acknowl edge that he is far above the standard of eome of tbe accidents who have repro sented Oregon in tbe upper bouse of congress. The majority of tbovotereof Oregon have expressed their preference for him in an official way under a law expressly designed for that purpose. That ought to settle tbe matter, with any one who is sincere in advocating the popnlar election of senators. Tho fact that no other caudldati had his ume placed before the voters was not the fault of tho voters. Mr, Geer com plied with the law. If no other candi date cared to risk his chances before tho people, it showed either a contempt for tho law and an intentiou to overturn tho popular verdict, or a withdrawal from tho contCBt. , Tho politicians aro piling up future trouble for themselves and tho party. There ia no evidence that tho Democrats, if in power, vrould come any nearer abiding by the people's verdict, but just wait' till the next campaign and tQ tho capital that will be mado out of this' unexplained eettlng aside of tho expres sion of tho popular will. Were Mr. Goer ovor so poor a stick for tho placo, It wonld bo politically, cheaper in tho long run to put hlmthortf, than to follow tho course whicll seems to bo mapped out. TO MAKE EXHIBIT OF OREGON RESOURCES A few of tho loading cltirous cf l'ort aud recently subscribed to n fund' amounting to over 116,000 for tho pur poso of establishing a Bureau of Inform ation for the stato. At a mooting ot the subscribers to tho fund, tlvo tiuttoe, vis., Chas E. Ladd, olLndd and Tiltoti, banlesr; W. U.KllingHworth, Caplta 11!. and Ileal KitatojT.

The-purposo-ol this o.ranfitatiou is to ascortain and tabulate tho resources of he stato, gather an exhibit of its pro ducts and bo prepared to tell all about Oregon and tho resources of the several counties to alliporsons desiring informa tion on tho subject to direct settlors and capital to opportunities awaiting them in the state. A large, well lighted room, or ball has been set asldo by the North Pacifl j Ter- minal Co in tho magnificent, hew Union Depot at Portland for.uso of tho Bureau and tables and cases arc now being mado and furniture secured for its uso in dis playing proJucteand distributing literat ure. Concessions have bsoa granted by the leading railroad and stoamboat lines lot tranmission from tbeir various stations to Portland, free of charge, of all samples and exhibits that may bo sent to tho Bureau for display. Negotiations aro in active progress to obtain like conces sions from nil tbe transportation com panies, with every probability of obtaint ing their co-operation. The encour agement being received on this is vcr ratifying, In the great exhibition room cqua space will be allotted to each county de siring it for tbe display of its products and resources and the distribution of snch deecriplvo printed matters at it mey forward for the purpose, each county to have equally "fair show" Tbe Board of Trustees ask tho citirens of each county, at the earliest day pos aib lo to have )reprtd a map of each county, showing township lines and drawn to scale of miles, on which shal bo designated all streams county roads, railroads, if any, navigable waters, if any harbors, if any mountain ranges', with principal elevations, and by ap propriate coloring and notes defining the location of lauds suitable fo r grains, 1 flax, hops, fruit, and the liko; also graz ng 'ande, mineral lands, timber lands, arid sections, anduch as nr e available to irrigation; also the locations of water t powers, if any, cities and. viilageo with 1 number of inhabitants olid schools in each, and such further information es may be of publis interest.

KINNEY SELLsllTs ROSEBURG ADDITION .Will make No Difference 'In Orcnt Central Railroad Company's Plans (Rotoburg Rttviow) That portion ol lluthey'ii addition in North Roseburg embodied In Kinney's Inprovcd Plat of the City of Roseburg, togethor with about 000 acres of adjoin ipg pasturo laud, has been acquired by the Roseburg Lumber Co. for 110,000. Campbell A Alexander, tho well-known nmborman of Coltago drove, are at tho head of tho purchating companybclng represented here by Mr. C. S. Whitcqmb, whd.consqmmated, the deal with Chief1 Engineer Kinney, of tho Great Central Railroad Co. Tho transfer of this property lo other hands in no wiso changes its character as a building site, nor will it in any way interfere with tho Salt LakeCoos I'ay R. K. project; neither dots it mean that Mr, Kinney is to sever connection with his businesi interests here quite to the contrary. Mr. Kinnoy transferred tho townsito chiefly becauso hii operations in connection with it was becoming so retardod ly the porslitent "knocking" of an unprogresslvo clement that ho thought tho welfare ot the proporty wonld be served to better advantage if it pasted into other hands, and ho loft unhampered to devote hlaonergles solely to the railroad. There is outstanding against tho townslto company, debts aggregating a total of tbout f9,000, ol which somo (2,000 was duo to tho Roso bura Lumber Co. This company per ceiving the valuo of the property, came forward in tho emergency and took it off of Mr. Kinney's hands, They will carry on tho ralo of lots, improve the property, erect residences, and, In generl elt carry out tho work outlined by Mr. Kinney, AH accounts against tho property which arose under Mr. Kfnnoy'a man agement will be paid by tho new com pany just as soon as the necessary mon ey is acquired from the sale of lots thereon.
