In headipg up in article on Coos Bay, 4n Its issue cf Aug. 20th, the Portland journal .use the line: "Marehfleld t 'Peoplo Look on with Jealous Eyes". This is a rank misstatement. OIarh. fleld is hot jealous of the now tswnsite, and the-man who wrote tne heading auatbave drawn on his imagination for 'Mb facta. The paragraph from which ho evidently drew hi misfit inspiration was as follows: Perhaps the most surprising foituro of pfiairs hereabouts is the 'undisguised suspicion with which Mirshfield people look upon the plans now under way tor -tno improvement 01 i;oas luy ana tuo building of roads and towns on the pen Insula. People in t! at place do ndt bos itate,to create tho impression that they qo not regard tuo projects as amounting io anything, and yet AJanhQeld is reap inga harvest from the Boiling of sup plies, and everything bought by tho coin panics Is paid for as promptly as though it had been purchased by the United States. There Is no question but there is more br less truth in this statement. Marsh field aa n whole la watching deyelop 'menta with a curprieing amoant of cynical indifference. It is, however, easy to find t cause for more or lots of 'this feeling. Marsbfield was bitten once tiy a boom, and hasn't entirely recover ed from nor forgotten" the experienced, But, as tho Mail understands it, the feeling is not j ealous nor antagonistic, it ia a simple leck of faith. This oi TdarshOeld as a whole. Asa matter of fact, thero eeera to bo tome individuals 'hero who go out of their way to throw cold water on the projecte of the Great 1. Central companies. It is rather hard to 'account for such action. It Is hard to believe that the town ia really Infested jelth moss-backs who do not want to see any impr ovement; who object td the Bay receiving its share of immigration, and who wish to keep outside capital from coming in to develop our resources. wnmx L'ttsaVWsm.'BK gj Important to Consum e .JV"iW7rt"l .1. -l mm bbsbbbibV i inattt New line of Ladles' and Ohildrens' colonial ties, jujt an-ivedt (ah ' !

In view of all this it might be well for eomo of tho knockers to curb their ox- urbcranco somewhat, at least to the ex tent that thoy may not havo the effect of driving away any desirablo pcoplo who may como here, with or without capital, to cast their fortrnca with us. cA.si'oniA.

Law renco, staff corrcipondon tot theOregon lad,, results in nn article something over two columns in length in that paper's Issue of Sept. 1st. The article is a fair and pretty complete round-up of the situation here. It contains no news tor Coos bay pooplo, but to show how a keen outside observer Views the attltudo ot tho pcoplo here wo ninko tho following excerpt: Coos Bay is not'grcatly agitated over its new rallrud prospects. It had an experience 10 or a dozen years ago that taught it caution in tho matter of town j booming, Ifot that that was parttcu-' larly disastrous locally, but It is remem- bered as a practical lesson in tho mu tability of human affaire, and it waj not really ncsded to mako Coos Bay pcoplo conservative. They never did cot ex cited easily. Now 'he pcoplo generally lake somo interest iu tho talk of now dovotopmententcrprites, but thoy re fuse to bclloyo fully until thoy shall be able to put their fingers in tho prints ot the railroad spikes and to sco tho rtncko ot tho locomotivo pulling iu from Salt LakoClty. Then they will say, "Wo told you so," and thoy will say tho same if the railroad should foil to ma terialize. ' The truth of the matter Is that Coos Day people aro not unhappy as thoy arc. Thoy can seo things coming tholr way without puszling their brains ovor 115,000,000 railroad projects, and, gen erally speaking, what a Coos Bay man does not need to do ho decs not do. They f eo the entranco to their harbor getting deeper arid deeper until now it Is cortainly ono oi'tho beat four of our Pacific Coast. Thoy see their marine commorco growing apace, and Ihelr own vossels, 'built tt home and ladon with tho products-el their own forests and mills cleaving foreign seas. 1 hey aro beginning to, touch olbows with the great, round world. They see larger ac tivity in their coal mines, Thoy eeo their dairy products regularly quoted , I it nossiiiie d i --r- above the ruling market price, with n demand that Is never tatlsllod. Their agriculture Is .gradually expanding. Tholr fisheries aro.by no menus n, negligi ble factor. Thpsa thlngj I hoy have grownup with; thoy understand them and aro satisfied. Under the circum stance it Is rather to be expected that thoy will decllno to tret over possibilities ot the future. Thoy leavo tho fuMue, Immodlato or romoto, to fato. It, how over, others, delving into tho future a little further than human eye can see, should otter tor Coos Bay property somo what more than it is worth without tho Bait Lako Railroad, your donlzon is en tlrcly willing to moot on his own ground tho man ot groat faith provided the ad vanco bo largo enough.
