TELLS OF POSSIBILITIES
Is Convinced That Unequalled Op
portunities Are Awaiting
1 1 Seekers on the Const.
Dack In Bowling Green, Ohio, the
fame of Cooa Bay has travelled
helped materially by a front page
artlclo In tho Dally Herald, of that
city, as follows:
"Tho following Interesting letter
has been received by Mrs. Emma
Cooley from her son-ln-Iaw, Charles
A. Howard, who Is located In Marsh
field, Oregon:
" 'Dear Mother: A good long tlmo
ago, I promised you that I would
glvo you my Impressions of thi3
country, or rather what I have seen
of it, but tho longer I put it off, the
more I learned, and now I find that
I cannot come anywhere near doing
tho Bubject justice. While- I have
only been In this part of the country
three months, Its possibilities and
advantages, I can see ut a glance.
" 'Geographically, Coos Bay stands
at tho head of all tho Coast Ports on
tho whole western coast, being some
COO miles nearer the Orient than
"either San Francisco, Seattle or Port
land. And as the principal e.xpoit
productions are flour and lumber
COO miles and a good safe liaibor
add materially to its advantages.
And besides we now have tho largest
lumber mill on the coast, and when
all Its machinery Is In, and the plant
complete, It will bo one of tho larg
est and best equipped mills in tho
world. The owner, Mr. C. A. Smith,
is perhaps tho best known lumber
producer, in this country, having for
years a very large percentage of tho
Minnesota and Wisconsin lumber
business In his control, and now that
that country has been pretty thor
oughly cut over, ho Is transferring all
of his vast interests and influence
here. That is only one thing. Coos
Bay and Coos county, would bo great
If there wasn't a Smith in it. And
at that It needs just such men. Ev
ery day we havo some Smiths, but
not perhaps of tho samo name, com
ing to see tho greatness and won
ders of Coos Bay and county. They
are not all interested In the lumber
business either, for that is not tho
only resource we have here. You
can hardly mention or think of any
thing, but what wo havo or could
produce. While we have no farming,
such as there is in good old Wood
county, yet everyone who has a piece
of ground, which wo used to call
farms (they call them ranches here,
makes a good living, and in most
cases they can and do, lay aside a
snug sum every year. The principal
thing In this -lino Is dairying. Thero
are three largo creameries here on
tho Bay, besides several more
throughout tho country. The rancher
delivers his milk to a certain point,
and collectors gather It up. It is
mostly dono by boats, as there are
very few roads in this country yet,
and In fact, most If not all of the
agricultural and commercial business
is handled in that way, for there aro
numerous creeks, small rivers and
sloughs, extending In overy direc
tions, and all have their outlets In
navigable water where they can bo
marketed.

"Coos county is, perhaps, tho rich
est undeveloped county In the state of
Oregon, and that Is saying a good
deal. While It is an old settled
county, yet It Is only In Its Infnncy
n to dovolopmonts. The coal alonu
would bo enough to make it inde
pendent, but that is now considered
of minor importance. Tho fruit
would make It rich, but that Is also
noglected. Tho hills and mountains
contain mineral and ore of all kinds,
am) yet you might say they arfa vir
gins. In fact, the people, who first
inhabited this country, found It so
easy to make a living that they were
content to let damo nature provide.
So suio were they that each day
would look out for tho next, that
thoy did not worry themselves, but
simply basked In tho sunshine and
smiles which a 'great and kind Provl
donco had provided for them. And
so it has continued for the last forty
years.
"To show you how the old settlers
feol about this, country, I will tell
you an answer I got from one of them
the other day, as I was trying to
gather somo Information. I asked
an old timer If ho had lived In this
country all of his life, ho said, "No,
not yet, but I excopt to," and so it
is. But every day brings its changes.
Eastern people who have grown tired
of their cramped and crowded quar
ters, are coming hero by every boat.
Capitalists, who are looking for good
safo investments aro here, and more
coming. Laboring men who" find
their occupation no longer enough,
to sustain them In the overworked
and crowded East; tradesmen, me
chanics, professional and business
men of all kinds are facing the west,
whero thero is such a vastness and
so much grandeur. So much of
everything that after they are once
here, and become accustomed to its
gioatness, thoy wonder how they ever
lived so long away from It. Of
course we have the malcontents, who
would not be satisfied if they were
sitting at the right hand of Saint
Peter. For those I can say the West
can get along without them, but for
the homeseeker, tho machinist, the
merchant, the professional or the
capitalist, I can say come west, learn
of tho greatness, taste of Its good
ness and live In its wonderfulness.
In saying this I am speaking of the
whole western coast. This country
hab lain dormant, while the East
has been going ahead in leaps and
bounds, but it could not remain so,
for soon wise men who came out
here jears ago saw and Invested,
and from a very small outlay have
lived to see it expand and grow, until
today they aro independent, and in
fact rich, rich In so far that they
have lived in this glorious climate,
whero It never gets colder than 40
above, or warmer than 83, whero
overy night in tho year you can sleep
witli a good heavy blanket over you,
whero you can eat strawberries and
small garden stuff out of your own
garden eight months in the year,
where roses and other flowers bloom
the year around, where malignant
and contagious diseases cannot get a
foothold. Is It not enough to live
In such a country? I think so, and
If I could havo my way, I would say
to all my friends, come West, if not
tp C003 Bay, come West anytfayv It
Is all good.
In writing this I have only tried
to express how this country Impres
