IS li ll: ' II WllkB ip i Kin THE DAILY COOS BAY TIMES, MARSHFIELD, OREGON, MONDAY, JUNE 1, 1908- v ! i raj 'wJ 1 : :i 1 m l The "Minnesota Night" program lefore the Chamber of Commerce Fri day evening was one of the most en tertaining that has been given before that organization. In addition to the regular program, Joaquin Miller, "The Poet of the Sierras" was pres ent and spoke briefly. Those who participated in the "Minnesota Night" program were Mrs. Hall, John D. Goss, Isaacson Brothers, Frances H. Clarke and a chorus of the younger mem bers of the Minnesota colony. Dr. J. T. McCormac presided. While the speakers of the evening paid every tribute possible to Minnesota, it was always done in drawing a parallel to Coos Bay and showing how this sec tion of Oregon might duplicate or exceed the progress that has been made In the gopher state In recent years. People Must Act. John D. Goss said that the re markable development of Minnesota had been due entirely to the efforts put forth by Its citizens along com mercial lines In general and In rail road building In particular. He de clared that It was transportation that made Minnesota what It is to day. He said that Coos Bay and Oregon boosters spent much time in telling of the wonderful natural re sources of this section and In this connection he wanted to tell them that they could talk of these self same wonderful natural resources until time Immemorial but the pres ent Inhabitants and the rest of the world would not get any benefit from them unless someone got busy and arranged for their development. He thought that better transportation facilities was the great need of this section. He said the people could hasten It and may be some one might take the Initiative and build railways like A. B. Stlckney or J. J. Hill did in Minnesota. Unless something Is done by the people themselves, he thought that the future might wit ness a duplication of the experiences of a pioneer at Port Orford. He said that he had met the old gentleman recently In Curry county and asked him how long he had lived there and what he had been doing and the an swer was that ho had been there thirty-six years and had been watt ing for a railroad to come. The rail road hasn't reached Port Orford yet and thoro arcs no indications of Its coming immediately, Coos Bay's Future. Frances H. Clarke told' of the development of Minnesota and the growth of Its cities and towns. lie called attention to the fact that Min nesota and Oregon had been admitted to the Union together fifty years ago. The great distance that separated Oregon from the world's market had prevented Its development but Min nesota being In the path of the Growth of tho United States had pro fited thereby. Ho said that tho next twenty-fivo years was certain to seo a greater development In Oregon than tho Inst twenty-llvo years had witnessed In Minnesota. Tho build ing of tho Panama canal, ho believed would bo a great factor In furnish ing a market for tho products of Ore Kon and In developing commerce on tho Pacific coast. Coos Bay with Its wondorful harbor, natural resources and the great possibility of tho development of agrlculturo and fruit growing In tho fertllo lnnds that sur round Is bound to enjoy a largo por tion of tho fruits of this growth. Mrs. Hall's story of the pioneer days in Minnesota was a clever tnlo of tho usual experiences In tho early days of tho west. Tho mandolin selections by tho iBaacson boys brought hearty ap plause and encores from tho audien ces that filled tho hall. Likes the West. Joaquin Miller paid a pretty trlb uto to Oregon. He said that In tho past quarter of a contury ho had trn "volled far nnd wide throughout the world but In nil his trnvols ho never found u placo that ho would rnthor mako his homo than In tho west. Ho said that ho was n native of Oregon and always considered Oregon his homo as ho had been a tax payor in this stato over slnco ho could romoin hor. Tho natural beauties of tho country appealed to him even moro than tho commercial possibilities. Alliance Reached Here From Portland Last Night in Record Time.
