TO ARRIVES 1 III' meeting of tho vnrlous committees of tho Chamber of Commerce Thursday af ternoon Is ample evidence that tho city bontilirul campaign Is to ho pushed to a mic coaKful Ishiio. With biicIi ti spirit or onthuslast'e to-oprratlon Mid civic pride, Marshrield may bu made what sho h destined to bo, ono or tho most beautiful cltlus on the Pacific Coast. The plan outlined by Frank G. Hoi ton and J. Albert Mathon will result In a most thorough and systematic cleaning up and that Is tho first esfieiitlal move In making a city beautiful. Ku listing all of tho women's clulu is also another imiHlor stroko for tho lords of creation must all admit that when It comes to putting 11 house In order and that's Just the task that confronts Mnrshfiold today ono woman Is worth a doeu men. With the aystcumtle organlatlou and tho division of the city Into districts wonders may lie accomplished In a Blugle day. Another Itupurtnut factor In this committee mooting was tho toudeney to eryntall.o tho civic spirit end brlii- foitu moro united action toward tho common goal or a city beautiful. Cities grow whore fate builds thorn, but in tho upbuilding process natural condition. nlouo do not govern. Tho situation is vitally uffoctcd by tho energy, spirit and vision or tho pooplu particularly or those who hold tho leadership. A town with tlio most favored location will not necciffurlly bo tho metropolis of Us territory. It may lose Ita pinto through lethargy or through lack of vigorous loaders at critical times. Coos Hay has a Bplcnd'd location. Tho cities upon Its shores that will bo ono day merged into a single metropolis, have n most beautiful (HAltf rvM natural sotting. This Is well known, yet fow renllxo th ) full value, not only of our stratoglu pos'lion, but Its beauty, ns well. In thoHo ro bpectb Coos Bay Is the most fortunately located Linnll community on tho Pacific Coast today. It is d .'stliied by nature to take tho head In beauty in well as business, and In theso twen tieth century ilayti beauty Is an annul that can not bo Ignored. Tin coming of tho now railway marks an epoch. Coos Bay must assert Its supromacy at tho commencement of this now era suprem acy not alone an n place of biulucss but as n city of homes. Gonoial PuBacnger Agent Scott, of tho South ern Pacific on his recent visit horo assorted that the Coos Bey and C01111III0 Valley section will bo ono or the greatest summer resort places or the Pacific. Nature ha.i done this much ror us. It Is now up to tho people to do their share. Tho only thing that can stop us Is the scuttling of tho clty'B progress through Indlfforcuco and Inertia or tho adoption or narrow, conlractqtl . community policies.' The most important matter confronting tho elty today is that it should bo made liitbltnlilo and hospitable. Ita people aro hospltablo, but not always Is It given tho united expression which lends It force. Tho puoplo or Marshrield love a lioautlful environment else they would not havo choson It in Its loslntion as tho place to make their homes. In this rojpcct also the only thing lacking is expression. With an aroused public spirit and an uwakomtd uuuso or clVlc duty both cuds will bo achieved. April r, will mark tho Inauguration or a new era on Coos Bay tho era or the City Beautirul.
