These articles, each written by a Coos Bay lady, possess more than passing literary a blllty and tell a graphic story of the attractions and scenery of Coos Bay. They recall an apt remark of Joa quin Miller on his recent visit her e when requested to write a poem ho said, "The Almighty has already w rltten a poem on Coos Bay, and It is bound in green and gold."

I know tho word "resort" brings to your mind the places where you wore parted from big sums of money by a speculating hotel-keeper, and, in return were bored to death by having nothing else to do but keep at bay the persistent flies and mos quitoes that usually Infect such places. This resort has no files or mosquitoes, no heat, no expensive hotels; there are things so see and things to do within a radius of twenty-five miles tho Coos-Bay coun try offers four or five distinct kinds of climate and all tho different sports that tho summer Idler cares for. If you love the winds wild and free from off the ocean and delight in bathing In tho surf, or fishing for thb deep sea fish, then Sunset Bay Is tho place for yo'U to spend your vaca tion. This llttlo Half Moon Bay Is especially endowed by Mother Na ture. FfiflHfig fihe had been unkind to the ruggfifl western coast, she hollowed out this" little" Cove and pro tected it with mighty roCks so the sun Ci?uld smile in upon hie1 lands and warn.'1 tllc waters that roli if?

This.' ls tlle only P,acc Jl ne Northwestern .coast where one can hnt.h with nnmfnr. in the surf. want to make the trip In one day then you can come In by Roseburg, for one liking now experiences this would be enjoyable the days of tho stage coach are nearly over. When Oregon Is net-worked with railroads it will be a pleasant thing to rcmenv her the time when you rode behind six horses up the heavy grades, thru tho virgin forests, famous for their mighty trees, heavy with hanging mosses and green with mammoth ferns. You would never regret a summer spent on Coos Bay. Hero you can fish, hunt or bo idle. You can visit large dairy farms, logging camps and see numerous mills In operation. You can see tho coming city of tho Northwest in its happy, healthy in fancy. Here you will find a perfect climate and a hearty welcome.

Switzerland its snow-clad moun- ! tains, Germany its dark and broad streams, Franco Its sunny plains, Italy its thousand charms of "nature and art." Yet for fair, tranquil love liness and fair beauty, always look ing as If fresh from the wand of na ture, there is nothing like the sce nery surrounding Coos Bay. As wo travel down tho Bay, we gaze upon land rich In tho reality 6Y adventure, pleasure and resource. Ten miles from Marshfield, beyond th'o big bend In the shore line, and a few miles from the bar is "Rocky P'6inf," a resort well-known to the pietisvttd seekers. Here a large point 61 rock extends into the Bay, and along Its sides He huge boulders. numerous, pretty and picturesque bungalows and cottages, with flowers twining around a rustic porch and an abundance of foliage wreathing the walls. On summer evenings there conies the distant sound of music. The fragrance of the flowers entran ces, the water gleams In the moon light and the faint rustle of tho wind among the trees completes a condi tion of contentment. In addition to all these natural and attractive spots for vacation forgetfullness, the sea shore, the cove, tho protected ocean beach and the fresh water shore of Coos River, Coos county has the famous and beautiful Ten Mile Lake country, a district several miles north of the peninsula and dotted with numerous small Inland and fresh water lakes, surrounded by scenery, which com mands admiration from tho veriest connoisseur. This locality is virgin territory and is destined to become one of tho most popular resorts In the western country, since it has al ready seen the handiwork of the architect and many fine summer homes pay tribute to the beauty of the district and tho various attrac tions which draw the Idler that way. MISS EDNA WIEDER, ' Second Prize, THIRD PRIZE. TI he! Advantages of coos Bay Hlr the home-seeker and man of capital have been largely ex ploited. Its magnificent resources of coal, timber, harbor and dairy prod ucts have been set forth in glowing terms to the would-be purchaser. But, what have we, as citizens and boosters of our Pacific Paradise done to attract that large and liberal band of summer wanderers who ask no thing but pleasure In return for cash? , To those heat-stricken exllos from tho towns and cities of tho inland states our bracing northwest wind would bo a tonic to restore both health and energy. We have no prostrations from heat. For the last six years tho averacro tonuiRrntiiro fortablo cabins and some havo not limited their stay to the warmer months but have stayed through the. winter as well. There aro many public places l'or picnics, camps and excursions. Em pire, the oldest town on the Bay and probably the most picturesque In Oregon, offers interesting stories of early pioneers, and the Indians who were its first inhabitants. Sunset Bay at tho mouth of Big Creek, ia a perfect example of the Half Moon Bay, and a queer Spanish pistol of early dnte found by a former keeper of the Arago llght-houao on tho cliffs above tho Bay heightens tho Interest in thja legends about this beautiful spot. Charleston Bay, Jordan's cove, tho government buildings, at tho en trance to the Bay, tho life-saving station and Rocky Point aro points of Interest on tho Lower Bay, whllo tho Goodwill Camp and various farms draw tho visitors to tho moun tains east of the Bay. To the jaded appetites of those de pendant upon city markets, wo offer berries, wild and cultivated, fruits and vegetables, the best that Oregon affords. To those fond of fish, wo have, besldo the Rock Cod, ling and halibut, salmon and trout, several varieties of shell fish, including clams, crabs, rock-oysters and craw fish. A word to those who would "meet us on Coos Bay." There aro three ways of coming: By boat from San Francisco or Portland, by stago from Drain station on, ho Southern Pacific line, hy stage direct from, Uosc!UrR to Marshfield, the pall route, and by stage from Roseburg td Myrtle Point nnfl from there tg I Coos Bay.

If ocean, river or mountains do not tempt you, probahly the Ten Mile lakes would. If you could stand on the banks of one of these six gor geous bodies of water; it would bo unnecessary for me to try and tempt you. The beautiful enchanting sce nery, tho perfect climate, -the hunt ing and fishing to bo found there would hold you spellbound. Lying peacefully in tho seclusion of green clad hills this garland of lakes are to bo found. The ocean is a mile distant, one can scent tho salty air, but the hills and trees shut out tho disagreeable winds, the mists pass lightly by, tho sun shines lovingly down on tho happy, contented waters; tho rainbow trout makes this home and tho fleet-footed deer comes down from tho woods to drink. How do you reach tho Coos Bay country? Thero is a pleasant ocean trip from olther Portland or San Francisco; thero is an easy stago trip of two days travol In by Drain. Tho first day is spent on tho stago, tho second you havo a ride on a small stoamor down tho beautiful Umpqua river. At Wlnchostor Bay you aro mot by a stago and havo a rldo of several miles on the hard sands of tho beach, right on the edge of the breakers. Or, if you when It ebbs.

For those who like aquatic sports we have, besides fresh and salt water bathing, boating in all forms, from the sea-trip on the ocean going bonts to canoeing on tho quieter waters Ot tho Inlets and rivers. Gas oline Uouts can always bo secured to explore the various coves and water ways", and both the keepers of small Iwtels and hospitable farmers aro glad to welcome tho casual visitor who may come their way. Sailing is always practicable as a dally wind allows a devotee of the sport to speedaway at any time. Deep-sea fishing is a great item to draw tourists toward Southorn California ports. Why not to Coos Bay? The Department of Marino Biological study at the State Univer sity is about to establish an experf ment station at Capo Arago because It borders on tho richest field of sea 'animal Hfo on the Oregon coast. Dur ing the month of May, a Marshfield market fisherman, In one day, caught fifty-one halibut. Many varieties of fish await tho anglor who can bravo the "mal do mer" and cast his lino outside tho bar. In season, salmon aro plentiful, penetrating to the fresh waters as well as tho salt. Ten Mile and Coos River havo many fino fishing spots where both salmon and brook trout rlso to tho fly of tho sportsman. Duck shooting and deer hunting havo attracted a few travelers for several years. If tho luck of tho chase wero made known, we could, attract many others.
