C. K. Fisher, n special writer In tho Southern Pacific Advertising Department, hns an article in "Abrdnd," a magazine distributed by the company through Europe and In tho eastern cities that Is a big boost for this section. It Is clovorly written and Is part of tho adver tising campaign that tho company undertook last year for this section. Tho artlclo Is as follows: If you had fifty billion feet of tho very lines t of. merchantable tlmbor, and in addition to that a ploco of laud encompassing 2G0 square miles underlaid with vast deposits of bi tuminous coal, you would fool rathor chesty, wouldn't you? That Is n combination hnrd to beat building material and a common necessity; fuel and power and wealth. If you owned theso things near a deep sea harbor and ho in eo no should tell you thnt a railroad was being built right Into tho midst of your hold ings, what would you do7 Shako hands with yourself, congratulato yoursu,lf? Most of us would. Now that Is but an Inkling of tho grw.it resources tributary to tho Coos Ilay district, on tho coast In southwestern Orogon, but aro tho people' of Coos Ilay acting foolish ovor their fortune? Not a bit of It." Tlioy nro proceeding In an en tirely busincssllko, matter-of-fact sort of way to develop thoso resourc es, aitd otliors which thoy havo known thoy possessed for a long tliuc. i Quito a whllo ago one of tho most profound students of Oregon his tory rtnd development saw what was coming Coos Hay-ward. Ho saw .that the government had Its oyo on Cooh Ilay und that a lot of develop ment work wns soon to bo dono In oponlrig and enlarging tho harbor and coiiBoquontly encouraging the world'1 trade that was to go forth from this latest vorltnblo treasure box of things which tho world need ed and wanted. Ho saw Hint the hills of tho country surrounding Coos Ilay woro heavily timbered with Douglas fir, ash, cedar, mnplo, al der and myrtle, and with whlto or Port Orford cedar, a wood In great demand and found In no othor part of the world except along tho coast of California and Oregon. (Sir Thonlas Upton's new cup-challenger yacht Ib bolu constructed of Coos Day l'ort Orford cedar). Ho saw that the government fltmoys wuro con stantly widening tho area known to bo upderlald with lino quality bi tuminous coal. Mo saw that groa lumber manufacturing Interests woro eying Coos Day and already bogl.i iiIdk to ustabllHli great minufnr torles. Ho saw that tho fisheries worn yielding large revenue, anil that the dairymen wore waxing fat from tho herds chat i. allowed In kuee-deop natural meadows, and then ho wrote these piophctlc words: "Persona now living will Bee one million people In southwestern Oregon whose port will bo Coob nny." IMU few commtinltlos In the world have been able to attain a vigorous and prosperous development provlous to tho coming or the railroad. Iru' tho Ooob Hay district upsets many Apparently established precedents of the way thlugn are dono or are to be done. Tho .Cooh May district went light on growing and progressing iih though such a handicap woro farthest from Jts worries. Doop-son shipping, of course, was largely responsible, for this spirit of Inde pendence, and yot tho Interior coun ties had tho great advantngo of prompt rail Hhlpmont to points of Immodlata consumption. Hut the railroad has come. And tho great timber wealth, tho tributary dairy resources, tho adjoining area of farming and fruit land, tho great coal deposits, the commercial fish eries, and oven tho sununor resort nttruetlous of tho Coob Ilay district altogether seem to say at last tho world has reached out for ub both by water and by rail, and wo are roady." Mho many of our coast soctlous whero tho temporaturo Is controlled largely by sea breeze, tho Coos liny .country can boast of an unusually delightful climate tho your round. It never gets too hot, never too cold, It rains perhups more than In other suctions, but tho slight Incon venience from rnln Is far mora than offsut by the absenco of blizzards and cyclones, snowstorms and freez es, sweltering summer days and nights. , Hecauso of this delightfully onun bio climate dairying In Coob Hay country Ib a, sourco of great wealth. Tho pastures remain green tho year round. One aero of tho best bot tom land will keep a dairy cow In green grass tho year round, and two acres will afford nn abundanco of grass, root crops and hay.
