COOS COUNTY {,
MAY HAVE THREE LINES OF
RAILROADS IN THE NEAR
FUTURE.
Southern Pacific, Oregon Coast and
Eastern and Spreckles' Line
Expected-Thirty Miles of
Rails Unloaded at Drain.

Portland, Feb. lS.-Ine journal
says indications in, Coos county are
that there will be two or three new
transportation lines under construc-
tion' this year giving connection
With Portland. Business men are
confident that not only will The
Southern Pacific build from Drain
to Marshfield and. down the coast,
and the Oregon Coast 4 Eastern,
will construct its projected line
from Portland to Humboldt bay,
but that thz Spreckles line will be
extendedlthrough Coos county to
Roseburg. =.
I'm. Bennett of Marshfeld, who
was a Portland arrival on the
steamer Kilburn last evening, re.
ports that the prospects for devel.
opment of Coos county never we're
better. He said:
s.The Southern Pacific has its
preliminary survey run from
Drain to some point in n Northern
California. I do not know just
where it ends. The line has been
permanently located from Drain 10
a point near Reedsville, on the
Umpqua, and the righe of: way has
been bought and paid for from
Drain to Elkton. distance Of IL
miles, with the exception Of two
places, where condemnation pro-
ceediugs are necessary. Thirty
miles of rails have been unloaded
at Drain for this line and it is un-
derstood that as soon IS weather
permits construction, will be com
mecced and pashed as rapidly al
possible.
Mr.. Bennett said that just befo n
be left home a party of half a doz
en- right of way men for the Oregon
Coast & Eastern arrived at Marsh
field and began work. They came
down from Tillamook and will work
through Coos and Curry county.
"Thia road will get right of way
through Coos county. The people
will give mo t of the right of wa.
and the remainder the compap.
will have to buy" he said. "Th'
people want these railroads. Eve
rything justifies the prediction tina
l Coos county will soon be CONNECTED
with the outside world by rail lines
and some people are so sanguine a
to assert that there will be three in
dependent lines Of rail transporta
tion through Coos county. Their
is some activity ID real eetate, bu
as the roads are bad leading fror
Rosebnrg into Coos county it is nc
expected that any extensive opera
tions will begin until the highway
are in better condition"

CHARACTER.
We are building every day,

We are building every day,
In good or evil way,
And in the structure, as it grows,
Must our inmost self disclose,
Till in every arch and line
All our hidden faults outshine.
Do you ask what building this
That can show both pain and bliss,
That can be both dark and fair?>
Lo it's name is character
Build it well, whate 'er you do!
Build it straight and strong and true,
Build it clean and high and broad,
Build it for the eye Of God.

on his feet, the people almost killed him
by throwing their ethrogin at him (Suc-
cab 48b). This ceremony in opposition
to the naughty Sadducees, was made
much Of by the Pharisees and has be-
come the festival of the people. The men
carried torches in their hands, sang
hymns and danced to the accompanl-
ment of music. The illumination, like
sea Of fire lit up every nook and corner
Of Jerusalem, and was so bright that IN
any part of the city a woman could pick
wheat from the chaff ''Whosoever did
not see this celebration never saw real
joyful festival" is one Of the passages
of the Talmud (Succah 53a). Hillel, the
elder participated in the celebration.
Rabbi Simon ben Gamaliel juggled with
eight torches, throwing them in the air
and catching them again. This festival
was celebrated all night. Geiger in his

setzungen der Biel." (Breslau 1850
claims that the word ''Shoebah" means
'sfame of a torch.'' Among the songs
recited one reads: "Hail to our youth
that it did not shame our old age, and
another: "Hail to our old age which
atone for our youth.
In addition to the eight days festi-
val Of late origin, but without any sig
nifcance was added in Post Biblical
times, the "Simchath Thorah, ''of which
the Thorah knows nothing. 1t has de-
generated into children's s festival, and
the noise and disorder in the orthodox
synagogue on this day has contributed
not little to make the "Yuden-Schul''
a by-word and a butt Of ridicule. The
"Chathan Thorah' and Chatham
Breshith'' humbug, have made Of the
synagogue a competitor to the auction
stores. 1t is matter Of yearly occur
renee, that individuals who are dis
grace to any congregation, buy the
''honors - Of being called to the Sefer
as "bridegrooms Of the Thorah." The
ignorant and disreputable only too often
purchase with their ill-gotten gains the
privileges of the "Chathan Thorah"
and "Chathan Breshith.'' - The speedy
abolition of this ''Chilluli Ha
Shem'' would be in the interest of not
only Reform Judaism, but even OF
respectable Jewish Orthodoxy.

dition. The factories are all running,
and are doing prosperous business;
the farmers have big crops, receive good
prices for their truck, and are making
considerable money. The school, re-
Gently organized under the charge OF
Mr.. Gellter, superintendent, and four
assistants, is progressing rapidly.
Twenty boys will be ready to go out next
year, with most promising results. The
dormitories have been altered and en-
larged. The school building has been
entirely renovated, and there is every
indication Of a very large number OF ap-
plications for next year. The trustees
were well satisfied with the reorganized
school and believe that the next class
will be the equal if not the superior of
any yet graduated.
A new public school house has been
erected at Woodbine 1t has eight class
rooms, large assembly room, library,
kindergarten and council chamber.
There are 26O children attending school
there, the entire population being slight
ly over 1000. Altogether there are five
public schools, with an attendance OF
about 600 children and about fourteen
teachers There are two synagogues and
a special holiday synagogue.
The trustees are now erecting large
additional mechanical plant and large
boiler house, in which will be located
additional boilers and power plant.
There is also being constructed con-
crete reservoir holding 100000 gallons,
which will give the colony a 900 gal
lon supply day. The drinking water
is pure. The health of the colony is
excellent, only thirteen deaths having
occurred during the past year.
The produce Of the farmers has been
sold to New York and Philadelphia, and
during the summer milk has been sold
to Ocean City, Sea Isle City and Allan
tic City.
The houses are all bright and cheer
full and in exceedingly good condition.
Nearly every house is surrounded by
garden The farmers are constantly
adding to their stock Of horses and cat
tie.

eighth day he dismissed the people and
they blessed the king and they went unto
their tents joyful and glad Of heart (65-
66). The Talmudists comment: Why
were the people joyful and glad? Be
cause they had partaken Of the splendor
Of God s majesty (mi-Zivha Shechinah).
The Rabbinical literature pays special
attention to this festival. Among other
passages we read: A king gives to large
circle of friends banquet Of seven
days duration. After the expiration Of
this time he said to his son: So far we
have had little opportunity Of enjoying
each others company. larry (he-azer)
one more day, so that we may rejoice
while holding simple feast together
So, even so speaks God to Israel: During
the seven days, the Succoth with it's
seventy bullocks for sacrifices was meant
for the seventy nations of the world.
Let this eighth day, simple feast with
one bullock and one ram as sacrifice,
express thy relation to me (Pesikta
193a) Another passage reads: The clos
ing feast Of Succoth ought to have been
celebrated like that Of Pessach on the
fftieth day; but, in order not to force
the people to travel second time to
Jerusalem in the rainy season God fixed
it on the eighth day.
On this day prayers for rain were re-
cited. This is still the custom even in
the Occident, although this is not the
time when our farmers want rain. This
praying for rain on Shimini Azereth has
in our opinion it's origin in the "Sim-
chath Beth Ha Shoeva," the ceremony
Of water drawing, (Which, during the
second Jewish commonwealth formed one
of the greatest attractions OF the Sue
coth-feast. At the morning service OF
each Of the seven days of Succoth a Ii
baton of water was made together with
the pouring out of wine (Mishna Sue
Goth Al, Yoma 26b). The water was
drawn in a golden ever Of the capacity
Of three log, from the pool of Siloah. 1t
was borne in solemn procession to the
water-gate Of the temple. Then the wine
and the water were poured out simulta-
neously into silver bowls. While this
ceremony was performed trumpets were
blown. The Rabbis say: "Why was it
called the joy Of water-drawing? Be-
cause from thence they were drawing
the holy spirit. Whether this water Ii
baton was to counteract the pagan prac-
tice Of offering wine to the Gods, or as a
recent critic (Rabbi D. L. Venetianer)
tries to prove, that it bears traces Of
Greek influence, are debatable questions.
The fact remains that it was Pharisaic
festival and that tho DrieSt- ridden Sad
