"If it woro only in tho power of mortal to vision to tho indolent cnpltiil-buriiiiclud hordes of tho oast and Hiiiopo what 1 hav-i nctually hooii and lilt Into during tho past two montliB, Inside of live years Oregon's innrvelous Htrldes would be tho wonder of tho world. "Oregon Is tho best country I hnvo over seen. "I bolluvo there is no placo In all tho world which holds forth within 40 per cent the advantages to man bo ho young or old. bu ho rich or poor, triple rollned or In the raw, as Oregon. "Thoro does not exist In nil the world a country which holds for cap ital small capital or bloated capital 50 por cent tho advantages of Ore gon. I moan GO per cent of tho all round advantages." Thoso uro Impressions of Tom I.nwson, author of "Frenzied fi nance," and expressed In thu Port land Journal in picturesque Law- Honoso, nfter a two months' stny In northern and central Oregon. Yet Mr. I.awsou has seen hut a pnrt of Oregon. Tho richest and tln fnlrost sections ho has not beheld. They lie to tho south, where the green of Oregon mingles with tlit gold of California In a multitude of tints under Italian skies amid plu turesquo scenes of wild and rugged beauty. Oregon Is tho most beautiful state In tho Union, Southern Oregon the most picturesque portion of Oregon, nnd Coos Hay and tho Coqulllo val ley tho most charming sect lou of southern Oregon and tho richest In nntlonnl resources. Seeing Is believing, and wo Invltt Mr. I.awson to believe with us. WHO IS I'EOULIAK? AFTHIt ull, what Is pecullnr what other people do or what wo oursolvcs do? too oriental lo tlio occidental Is a very strange Individual and his cus toms uro looked upon as uncivilized. Not many occidentals turn tho situ ation around and think that possibly the westerner Is Just us strange an individual to tho easterner and that Ills customs may also he looked upon as uncivilized. A unique letter written to homo friends by a Chinese gantlomnn who traveled thimigh tho United Stnto.i and recently published by the New York Sun, gives Illustration to the fact that the point of view Is some thing. Ho wrote as follows: "You cannot civilize those Ameri cans, They uro beyond redemption. They will go weeks and months with out touching n mouthful of rice, but they eat IIobIi of bullocks and sheep la enormous quantities. Nor do they cat tholr meat rooked In small pieces. U is carried Into tho room in largo chunks, often half iaw, tmd then they cut and slush and tear It apart. That oat with knives and prongs. It makes u civilized being perfectly nervous. One fancies himself In tho prohonce of sword swallowers. "Thay havo no souse of dignity, for thoy may bo found walking with wo men. Thoy oven sit down at the same tablo with .women, nnd tho latter me served llrst. Yot the women nro to be pitied. On tesilve occasions, which AniKrlcaus cull balls, they nro druggod around u room to the ac companiment of the mokt uellW't music." Of course, tho occldentul knows thnt ho Is civilized and tho oriental only hnlf-clvlllzed or loss, but this other viow of his own boasted clvill nation la worth while. motive wub the Incontlve that won buttles und protected a country ngalnst Its foes. Ho drew on his knowledge nnd oxperlonce gained In Honolulu ns an example of tho ef fectiveness of patriotism ns exemplo In tho dovotlon of tho Japanese nnd snid thnt tho United Stntcs should not underestimate tho courage and devotion of that newly born world power ns a factor In tho development of nntions. His address gavo ovi- ilonco of ilooi) thought nnd clear thinking along tho line of protection of America ugalnBt what may In time become n focman worthy of tho steel of Undo Sam. Cnpt. J. J. Itoynolds In a brief but enthusiastic nddress paid u glowing tribute to tho generous nppreclutlon of tho people of Coos Hay for tho Oregon Nnval Militia. His earnest ness touched a rcsponslvo chord in tho hearts of his hearers and it rung so gonulno nnd slncoro that tho out burst of upplause was n trlbuto to his eurnestness. Pnymastor Capron followed In tho same vein nnd his wirncst nvownl of nppreclutlon of tho good things of Coos Day nnd its citizens nindo oven Its loyal sons blush In genuine gratitude for tho compliments thnt wero showered upon them. With inuny expressions of regret thnt such n love feast should bu shortened, thu guests adjourned to tho naval ball where the men of Tho Huston woro already enjoying a delightful dance. Tho formal and olllcial oponlng occurred whon Cnpt. Itoynolds nnd Mrs. Reynolds led the grand inarch at tho conclusion of which tho banquet guests which in cluded the business mon nnd tho of ficers of Tho Boston proceeded In n chartered hont to North Hond whoro tho business men of thnt city worn waiting them nt tho Commercial Club.

His welcome of tho guests of tho evening wns a master piece of hearty hospitality. Peter Logglo responded to n toast on tho piesent nnd futuro possibili ties of tho harbor of Coos Hay backed by facts and llguros thnt woro n reve lation to sonio of his hearers. It was succinctly stnted and received with an outburst of applause. M. C. Maloney spoke hrlolly on tho spirit of push nnd progress that ani mated tho penplo of Coos Hay In Ken oral and tho citizens of North Deud In particular. Capt. Uondognrd, as tho man who successfully piloted tho II rat largo mnn of war Into Coos Hay harbor, modestly acknowledgement to tho graceful trlbuto of tho tonstmustor, hut being n mnn of action rathor than words contended hlmoslt with a mere formal acknowledgment. Capt. ISdgnr Simpson proved equal ly retiring but his silence did not penult the sorvlco rendorod go unack nowledged for Cnpt. Reynolds nnd Paymaster Capron woro both earnost and eloquent In their appreciation of nil that had been contributed to the successful llnnlo of Tho Huston's crulso to Coos Huy. All In nil It was a titling climax to what will mark an oru in tho history of one of tho Pacllle's groat ports of entry.

Tho snagging nnd cleurlng of the North Coos River channel below Al legnny has been completed, or rathor all tho work hns been dono that tho present appropriation for It will per mit. Tho chnnnel hns been much im proved nnd is now In fnlrly good shape nil tho way to Allegany. In this connection, Engineer Leefe, under whoso supervision tho work wns dono, called attention to tho fact thnt the shoals thnt had to be dug out wero duo ulmost entirely to old snags nnd stumps. Ho said thnt the presenco of tho stumps nnd snngs was In tho most cases duo originally to carelessness. The law prohibiting dumping snags or stumps is vary stringent nnd provides n severe pen alty. .Hitherto it has not bcon rigid ly enforced but boatmen us well ns government olllclnls will probably re port cases In tho future. In fnct, two enses hnvo already boon report ed to Mr. Leefe. Ono Is Just nbovo Allegany where a treo wns cut and allowed to fall across tho channel und remain. The other Is near tho Rooko ranch where a lot of small trees havo been cut along tho bank und allowed to remain where tho ilrst freshet will sweep them Into the channel. Plneo New Huoy.i.
