Week's Campaign Laid Out.
EUGENE, Or., Feb. 7. (Special.)
With the close of the first week of the
12-day Itinerary of the Southern Pacific-Oregon
Agricultural College
Portland, Eugene & Eastern hog and
dairy demonstration train, more than
15,000 farmers have been given allo
pathic doses of how to grow the com
mercial hog and dairy cow and Sat
urday has been tbe most satisfactory
day of the trip.
When Springfield was reached this
Bfternoon, 100 members of the Business
Men's Club, escorted by a band,
marched down to the train. They were
accompanied by 1200 farmers and resi
dents of the city. A morning engage
ment at Lebanon was played to 650
farmers from the Institute, and at
Hrownsville 700 more lingered aboard
the train until the wheels began to
turn.
Eugene this evening gave a tremen
dous attendance
Benefits Are Noticeable.
That the encouragement of dairying
and hog raising as industries, the
breeding of better animals, and co-operative
marketing are striking a popu
lar note can be proved to the satisfac
tion of any person who Mill trail the
demonstration train for even one day.
The large majority are beginning to
be interested in the character of In
formation that will aid them to make
their business more profitable.
At Brownsville today Chris Myhre,
the Junction City Co-Operative Cream
ery man. who was with the train, was
engaged to return soon to that place
and organize an association. The
privately-owned creamery Is to be
turned over to the new association.
Brownsville already has a privately
owned cannery, which this year shipped
18 cars of canned berries and veget
ables. Butter Profit to Gain.
At Lebanon this morning Mrs. C. B.
Chandler brought samples of butter to
the train and asked the aid of Profes
sor Graves in improving its quality.
The butter was experted and in two
minutes the woman was given the in
formation that will Increase her reve
nue $300 a year.
Friday night Phil Bates, of Portland.
Joined the train for the swing around
to Eugene. He has been entertaining
and instructing the school children
with reference to the contest in animal
husbandry and agriculture, which will
result in the 10 winners being sent to
the Panama-Pacific Exposition.
Springfield being In the midst of a
good dairy country and the owner of a
creamery which ships 2000 pounds of
butter a week, the greater interest
centered in hogs and cow feeding. Pro
fessor Potter has been able to demon
strate the practical money-getting type
of hog, as well as to show some young
pure blooded sires by the use of which
the herd may be graded up and a
Bmoother, better-selling animal ob
tained. Animals Get Day of Rest.
Tonight the beasts of the menagerie
re being unloaded for a day of rest.
On Monday the trip will be resumed
and next week the train will visit the

SEATTLE, Wash., Feb. 7. (Special.)
Mrs. Kashara Nilson ,of Maury Is
land, succeeded Friday In the Superior
Court in having set aside a decree of
divorce, she says, her husband ob
tained from her against her will last
November. She is unable to under
stand English, and. she says, that
when a stranger gave her a document
her husband advised her that It was
of no consequence, and she thereupon
destroyed It. She learned later that
It was a summons in a divorce case.
When she won her fight for the an
nulment of the decree, both she and
her husband were so much absorbed
In the trial that they forgot all about
their three children, waiting in a Jury
room and left the Courthouse without

Captain Macgenn Quoted as Saying
Harbor Is Best Unimproved One
In United States and Rea
sons Are Set Forth.
BY DAVID SWING RICKER.
COOS BAY. Or., Feb. 7. (Special.)
I'm out In the middle of Coos Bay,
tied to a buoy. That's why I've dated
this letter Coos Bay I don't dare to
date it Marshfield. I'd be shot. I don't
daTe to date It North Bend. I'd be
bung. 1 don't dare to date it Ports-j
mouth, id be tarred and feathered.
That's why i've gone out into the bay.
tied myself to a cuoy and there, safe
from Bhots, rope and tar, have put
down, at the top of my letter "Coos
Bay."
At first reading you may assume
that Marshfield, North Bend and all
tne other communities that slowly are
making a loop around Coos Bay have
much the same teeung toward one an
other as -is enjoyed, or suflered, by
Minneapolis and ISC Paul.
But if you have formed this conclu
sion you are wrong, wholly wrong,
irrevocably wrong and 'in bad."
All Are Cooa Bay, They Say.
The men who are doing things down
this way are too big, too broad, too
progressive to quibble or squabble over
sucn trifling matters as wno's who
when it comes to making an estimate
of Coos Bay. They don't want any
body to think that Marshfield is Coos
lia y or that Nortn Bend is Coos Bay
or that any one or any two of the
communities tnat encircie this South
ern Oregon harDor is or are Coos Bay.
But they want you to know in large
type, full-faced letters, that t-h-e-y
are Coos Bay. That's why I tied to
a buoy.
There are strong men here and big
men. too, and with the feeling that
discretion is 99 parts of valor. I as
sume their attitude, take off my hat
to their broad mindedness and, allow
ing myself to be tne pivot about which
the compass swings its free leg, I'm
going to tell you what 1 find within
tne circumference of the 10-mile circle
of which I. tied to my buoy, am the
center.
Mission Is Outlined.
It was my mission, when this Journey
was begun, to give a nrst-hand story of
tne condition at its worst season of
the Pacittc Highway and to make a
close range estimate of the wealth of
the communities through which the
Highway passes. My third order wan
to present facts concerning the har
bors of the Pacitic Coast and their pre
paredness to receive the commerce thai
will follow the Joining of the two
oceans; my fourth was to make an
estimate of the wealth, natural re
sources and suitability for Industries
of the country lying behind the harbor
cities, which will be one of the big
factors in determining commercial
supremacy, a factor which, I said;
"cannot be overlooked or disregarded."
Isince I left Portland I have talked
mostly about bad roads, partly about
good roads and a little bit about the
comparative wealth of the many com
munities through which both the good
and the bad roads happen to pass.
This, Coos Bay, is the first harbor I
have visited. And It is outside of my
purpose to make a comparison between
this harbor and the other harbors of
the coast. Whatever comparisons I
may make will be made after I have
seen every harbor from Vancouver,
B. C, to San Diego. Cal. For this
reason, if for no other, I shall present
now simply a picture of what I see
around me from my buoy anchorage.
And within that circle which reaches
out from me Ave . miles in the four
directions there lies 24 square miles of
water area, a harbor which today has
more than ten miles of wharfage: the
cities of Marshfield and North Bend,
which some day will be one; Coos River,
a place where there are nooks to
shelter bungalows; North Inlet, lined
with tlmberlands backed by big de
posits of coal, a waterway which can
be made usable for commerce by dredg
ing; Portsmouth, where there are mill
and factory sites -without . number;
Libby, with its coal .nd timber lands;
and that long neck of land which
reaches down from up north to Coos
Head where sportsmen can go out and
come back without enough game to
excuse them.
At the crossing of paths of travel. In
sheltering hafbors, close to natural re
sources or in the center of a producing
land area on an artery of trade, these
are the places that become centers of
population. The Indians built their
largest settlements where the most
trails crossed, or where their canoes
could be ljfted to the sands with great
est eaae, or near a trading post, the
source of their resources, or close to
their hunting grounds, or to the fields
they tilled. The Indians moved on.
Civilization set down vilages where
their settlements htwl been. And the
villages that had anything back of
them became cities.
Harbor Alone Not Enough.
The presence of a harbor alone is not
enough to make a city. It must be the
outlet of a productive area, or it must
be on a highway of trade. A settle
ment located where railroads cross will
remain always a railway Junction un
less it is a shipping point for the prod
ucts of the farm or the factory, unless
It has something bacK of It- The mere
presence of transportation facilities Is
not enough.
The cities which are gathering
around Coos Bay have a harbor over
which enthusiasm easily is stirred.
And they have more: They have back
of them forests that will supply raw
material of manufacture to the great-great-grandchildren
of those who are
here now. They have behind them a
mineral wealth which never has been
estimated and an agricultural region of
rapidly increasing productiveness.
In my last story I saw a vision. From
the crown of the last mountain I
crossed in coming from Roseburg here
I saw a tomorrow steepled with factory
chimneys around a bay crowded with
ships engaged in international com
merce. I have had no reason to blot
out that picture. I have been on Coos
Bay for many days and I have had time
to make a careful estimate of the sig
nificance of Coos Bay on the map of
Oregon. And. I have formed certain
definite conclusions.
Harbor Is Being Dredged.
They are dredging on the Coos Bay
bar. When they get through they'll
have 30 feet of water at low tide. If
they don't have this depth. Major Jay
J. Morrow doesn't know what he is
talking about. He told me frankly
the first night I was In Marshfield that
this is what he Intended to do. Since
then I have talked with a whole lot of
harbor men. Among them was Cap
tain T. J- MacRenn. of the Breakwater.
"Captain," I asked him, "what do
you think of Coos Bay? I want you to
tell me the truth the unalterable
truth."
Captain Macgenn sat back in his
heavy arm chair in the Millicoma Club
and said:
"I'll tell you, old man. Coos Bay is
the best unimproved harbor in the
United States. It Is the only bar har
bor on the Pacific Coast that has a
headland that extends over a mile west
of the bar, which is a great protection
for the bar and a splendid shelter for
shipping during the Winter months
when the southeast and southwest
storms prevail.
"The headlands on the south side of
the entrance extend from Coos Head
to Baltimore rock, a distance of two
nautical miles.
Bar Short, Channel Straight.
"The bar Is short and the channel
straight In a westerly direction, so that
vessels at all times. can be head to the
sea, or normal, in sea terms, when the
bar Is rough. All the shoals in the
Inner harbor are removed and In many
places the channel has from 25 to 60
feet of water.
"During Summer months the prevail
ing wind is northwest, and when the
Jetty was standing, there was little or
no sea in the channel. The harbor then
was practically landlocked. Some 20
years ago the Government appropriated
2,500,000 to build the north Jetty. At
that time there was only 12 feet of
water on the bar at low tide, but after
the Jetty was completed there was 26
feet of water at low tide, or six feet
more than the Government project
called for, and only 1700,000 of the
fz. 500,000 had been expended.
"If the entire appropriation had been
expended, or project No. 2, as recom
mended by Colonel Roessler in 1906.
had been adopted, there would have
been no difficulty in obtaining 35 feet
of water at low tide and 40 feet at high
water. This recommendation calls for
the building of tne north Jetty, an ex
tension of 1000 feet, the extension to
bo constructed of concrete blocks
weighing from 80 to 35 tons each.
"This done, the Jetty would be be
yond the north spit and would prevent
sanu rrom coming into the harbor.
"The bar is not more than 500 feet
long and the width of the harbor varies
from the entrance to Guano Rock, 1400
feet, to 1800 feet between Coos Head
to the Jetty."
There is little more I can say about
the harbor. I would rather take Cap
tain Macgenn's estimate than my own.
He's 'an' old-timer in navigating the
Oregon harbors. And Major Morrow,
In a speech at the Millicoma Club, -was
as enthusiastic as Captain Macgenn
about the possibilities for deep water
on this bar.
It is certain, then, that whatever
else the cities gathered about Coos
Bay have, they have a harbor a harbor
that will accommodate any ship which
draws 23 feet of water and all the
ships which now are coming Into Pa
cific ports draw less or equal to this
maximum.
Hinterland Next Factor.
"We've got to figure out what kind
of a hinterland Is behind Coos Bay
before we can with conservatism give
Coos Bay a place on the map of Ore
gon which tells us where lie, not rivers
and bays and harbors and lakes, but
what we are looking for, opportunities.
Back of Coos Bay are timber lands
which will last and supply manufac
turers with raw material for 200 years.
When I make this statement I am tak
ing 50 years from the estimate of C A.
Smith. Long ago, Mr. Smith said that
if timber was cut down as fast as It
was cut down around Minneapolis, it
would take 250 years to use up all the
timber now standing around Coos Bay.
Water power, the wizard which con
tributed to Canadian development in
the West, is not here. Therefore, it
would seem that it would be impossible
to manufacture and enter into competi
tion with the East. But the forests
again have come to the aid of Coos Bay
and sawdust has given 'power the
waterfalls deny. At the Smith mill
alone, 3.000 or 4,000 horsepower is now
available and John Mereen. electrical
engineer, says that, should It become
necessary, 20,000 horsepower could be
obtained in that one plant out of the
sawdust now available. Furthermore,
he says, they can .manufacture power
from sawdust as cheaply as it can be
manufactured from a hydro-electric
plant anywhere in the country.
"We can put In a steam plant," he
said, "at one-half the cost of an elec
trical plant. The cost of maintenance
is much less than the cost of main
taining an electrical plant. For the
reason there is not . the long distance
oi transmission; Desldes, fuel costs
practically nothing, as It Is fed auto
matically from the sawmill. Although
we now have only a maximum of 4000
horsepower, there is no limit to what
we can have, for the reason that as
rapidly as the number of mills increases
the amount of horsepower available
likewise will increase."

Considered Engineer Reports
on Work During Year.
ROSEBURG, Or., Feb. 1. (Special.)
Economy in expenditures, harmony
among the Supervisors and a united
effort to obtain better roads were the
most Important topics discussed at the
first annual convention of Douglas
County Road Supervisors, held In Rose
burg today. With the exception of
three, all the 63 road districts of the
county were represented.
County Judge Rice, who is an advo
cate of improved roads, spoke regard
ing the business end of the good roads
project. Ho said he did not favor hard
surface roads In the rural districts,
but advocated Increased use of the split
log drag, better drainage and a more
durable foundation in road construc
tion. T. J. Brinkerhoff, recently Roadmas
ter of Josephine County, who today
assumed charge of road affairs in Doug.
las uounty, said it was not necessary
to wait until Spring to use the split
log drag, but that such work should
be done during the Winter months. By
keeping the roads dragged during the
Winter, Mr. Brinkerhoff said, the Sum
mer roads would take care of them
selves. An informal discussion between the
Road Supervisors and the new Road
master consumed the greater part of
the afternoon.
The report of County Engineer Ger
mond, which was read, showed that in
1913 the county spent approximately
$108,211.85 on the roads. Of that amount
$63,360.95 was spent in erecting five
modern steel bridges and a number of
timber bridges. Some money was also
spent in constructing culverts, to the
end of securing proper drainage of the
roads.
According to the figures submitted,
the County Engineer and his assistants
cost the county $2730.
About 20 pieces of road received spe

A Few Doses Relieves All Such
Miseries. Bladder Weakness,
Kidney Trouble and Rheu
matism Promptly Vanish.
It is no longer necessary for any
one to suffer with backaching, kidney
trouble, have disagreeable bladder
and urinary disorders to contend with,
or be tortured with rheumatism, stiff
joints, and its heart-wrenching pains,
for the new discovery, Croxone, quickly
and surely relieves all such troubles.
Croxone is the most wonderful rem
edy yet devised for ridding the system
of uric acid and driving out all the
poisonous Impurities which cause such
troubles. It Is entirely different from
all other remedies. It is not like any
thing else ever used for the purpose.
It acts on the principle of cleaning; out
the poisons and removing the cause.
It soaks right in through the walls,
membranes and linings, like water In
a sponge, neutralize?, dissolves and
makes the kidneys sift out and filter
away, all the uric acid and poisons
from the blood, and leaves the kidneys
and urinary organs clean, strong,
healthy and well.
It matters not how long you have
suffered, how old you are, or what you
have used, the very principle of Crox
one is such, that it Is practically Im
possible to take it Into the human sys
tem without results. There is nothing
else on earth like It. It starts to work
the minute you take it and relieves you
the first time you use it.
If you suffer with pains In your hack:
and sides, or have any signs of kidney,
bladder troubles, or rheumatism, such
as puffy swellings under the eyes or in
the feet and ankles, if you are nervous
tired and run down, or bothered Witli
urinary disorders, Croxone will quickly
relieve you of your misery. You can
secure an original package of Croxone
at trifling cost from any first-class
druggist. All druggists are authorized
to personally return the purchase price
if it fails in a single case. Adv.
