'The Times In opposing the bridg ing of Coos Bay, is lnteiested only from the standpoint of being the In strument which to a certain extent Is regarded as a factor In the de velopment of Coos Bay and Its un limited area of resources. A news paper should stand as a guardian to the rights and interest of the com munities It represents, and it Is a sacred duty of the press to conserve zealously those Interests. Its chief aim should bo to stand above indi vidual feeling and to consider all questions that arise in a dispassion ate manner. There is no question but that a bridge can be placed over Coos Bay which will allow of ocean craft pass ing. But when this bay is bridged it will then lose its position now maintained as a Pacific coast seaport and descend to a level with inland waterways. The majority of the men who have settled on Coos Bay aie here because of a Arm conviction that this place has a future. The future Is based on the harbor. Magazines and news papers have given so many 'columns to the ultimate destiny of the Pacific coast that It would be superfluous at this time to dwell upon the time when the demand for seaports will necessitate the making of one by the Government. Wo believe Coos Bay will bo chosen a3 that seaport. It Is the Imperative duty of every citizen on this peninsula to work toward those ends that will tend to expand the possibilities of Coos Bay. If we place a bridge across the bay at the northern point of the peninsula we havo bottled up the key to the situa tion. New York was once In a rela tive position to Coos Bay. Before that harbor attained the value which it now possesses millions were spent upon dredge work. But an outlet was demanded and the government madelt. The same will be true of Coos Bay. With a futuro the breadth of which we can scarcely realize, before us, woiild bo deliberately do something that would act as an almost insur mountable obstacle to the consumma tion of that work which means so much not only for Coos Bay, but the dependent country. For many years the Pennsylvania Railroad expended every effort to placo a bridge across tho Hudson river to connect Jersey City with New York. Tho city of Now York fought tho plan, and now tho Pennsylvania Railroad Is tunnel ing under tho Hudson river. Tho load was further compelled to tun nel under Long Island Sound to get Into Long Island to placo tho ter minal of Its system on tho extreme lioint at Montauk. Tho point nt which tho river was tunneled Is al most two miles wido. Now York has no bridges over its ogress to tho sea. Ocean crnlt land at the docks without obstruction. Tho Brooklyn brldgo which connects New York with Brooklyn over tho East River moasuros 7.GS0 feet In length, and Is high enough to penult vessols of tho deopest draft and loftiest top-; vmaBt to pass under safely. Tho mid-1 dlo span of tho brldgo stands 135 . 'foot abovo tho rivor at high water. But tho East river In Now York Is but a subsidiary to tho Hudson river and tho bay proper. I It tho city of Now York deemed it wUo not to placo bridges over its egress to tho ocean why should not 'Coos Bay? It has boon argued that rivors havo boon bridged whoro tho rnlTlo Is much groator than nt tho Yiiosent time on Cooa Bay. Truo, in land waterways havo beon bridged, but an inland wntorway la not a sea port. We bellove that dredging will make Coos Bay far superior to tho Columbia river as a deop sea harbor Yet not one bridge obstructs the Columbia between Portland and the lHultic Ocean. Tho Times believes a lnidno oir Cooa Bay will work an nui iii.it enn only bo remedied bv BATES ORKGOX PEACHKS. The best advertising results are not obtained througe tho classified advertising mediums, it is those unique Ideas which catcli the public fancy and hold it because o! some novel feature that attain for com munities as well as merchants wide spread publicity. Oregon, a3 a state, Is securing the tiqtial of possibly thousands of dollars In straight ad vertising, through tho tour which Philip Bates Is now making of the eastern 'states with his carload of flJteen Oregon young ladles. Tho article which appeared In the Wash ington Hearld relativo to tho two days' sojourn of the young ladies in the capital city, is worth pages of magazine advertising. It will draw and fasten attention to the state, where, as the writer said, "trees grow a mile high and the pulp Is cut out of pumpkins ana people live in them; where men play billiards with green peas and wheat stalks." At every place where the Oregon dam sols have stopped they have been feted and press chronicled, and thus tho story of Oregon on the Pacific Is becoming familiar to the sister states on the Atlantic. TO MAKE NAW ATTRACTIVE. The navy department has experi enced so much difficulty in securing the enlistment of desirable men for tho navy that schemes to show the service In its most attractive forms have been resorted to. During the winter months a re cruiting ship touched the south At lantic ports and even went to nonsea coast towns which could bo reached with the vessel, to Illustrate the life of the sailor aboard. A more recent Idea as an incentive is about to be in troduced and consists of an exhibi tion of naval scenes by means of mov ing pictures. As many as 10,000 feet of bio graph films have been made from a large number of pictures, taken on board the ships of the Atlantic fleet while at Guantanamo, Cuba, and some fifty subjects dealing with tho life of the bluejacket will be illus trated. It Is planned to send tho bio graphs with traveling recruiting par ties, accompanied by electricians to operate the machines, throughout tho interior middle west and give exhibi tions in connection with lectures to be delivered ns a means of advertis ing the advantages of enlistment. GIRTAS AMIMTIOX NOT HIGH. A Kansas girl graduate who had been given the theme "Beyond the Alps Lies Italy" promulgated tho fol lowing: "I don't caro a cent whether Italy lies beyond tho Alps or In Missouri. I do not expect to set tho river on fire with my future career. I am glad that I have a good education, but I am not going to misuse it by writing poetry or essays on the futuro wo man. "It will enable me to correct the grammar of any lover I may have, should ho speak of 'dorgs' in my presence or 'seen a man.' It will also come handy when I want to fig ure out how many pounds of soap a woman can get for three dozen eggs at tho grocery. So I do not be grudgo tho timo I spent in acquiring It. But my ambitions do not fly so high. "In view of all this I do not caro If I get a little rusty on the rule of threo and kindred things as the years go by." GET THE BEST uuuO Dm ID Dr. J. W.

Coos Bay Times: I have, at least, traveled in safety half my journey to the Atlantic Coast, and I fancy tho least interesting half at that. I arrived in St. Paul this afternoon at 2:15 over the Great Northern, somewhat the worse for my trip. Expect to leave for Chicago over the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific to night at 8:05 and barring mishaps and delays will reach tlie "Windy City" on Sunday morning at 10:45. My train and time from there east I will tell you of tomorrow. To those of you who have never had the pleas ure, perhaps it Is better said to say unpleasant privilege, of testing tho roads from tho Pacific coast east, I would advise, from my knowledge of thorn all. either the "North Coast Limited" of the Northern Pacific, or tlie Denver & Rio Grande, over the Union Pacific lines. iTho Great Northern is truly a great northern belt of steel stretch ing across a vast plain of waste land and its promoter deserves tho more praise for running, undaunted, thru such a country to reach the Pacific. After leaving Spokane, Wash., the points of interest can be counted on the fingers of one hand. The time drags wearily by, until the state of Minnesota is reached; then small Uowns full of prosperty loom up every few miles and each such town Is blessed with a beautiful brick and stone depot, no matter how small tho place. One cannot help but wish for a few men of Hill's persistence and push to enter his own little town. I Sails llwmWili 'I II nl l'l ll'rtl HIi'i'i li'iiHWITTT i lli ir fancy Marshfield wouldn't long bo n small town If such could bo brought to pass. I have spent lots of timo enroute talking "Coos Bay" and I find our little "Indenture on tho Pacific Coast," tho Americana puts it, well advertised all along the way. There is one thing to be remedied and that is the confusion that one often finds to exist regarding tho Bay, for in bi.itip.p. vou montlon Marshfield, North Bend or Empire and niuo out jgj MARSHFIELD, of ten know knothlng of tliem, out mention them in connection with the Bay and see the difference. Why wouldn't it bo well to have It Coos Bay always and use the station method for mall distribution; for in stance Marshfield would be Coos Bay station N. 1, etc. This always brings Coos Bay into tho letter, then allow the individual placo to rely on 'the re sources, advantages, Inducements, etc., they can offer to hold tho new' arrivals as they come to Invest. This seems to me to bo a good plan sooner or later to be adopted If we grow as we hope to. Wishing my friends of tho "Times" a newsy time until you hear from mo again I must close. Yours J. W.
