Addison Bennett "Writes of Tremend.

BY ADDISOX BENNETT.
COOS BAT, Or Nov. SO. (Staff Cot-
respondence.) You will look in your
postal guide in vain for any such post-
oince as given in the date line above.
lor tnere la no such city or town, vll
lage or hamlet as Coos Bay. There is
a county by the name of Coos, and in
that county is situated a wonderful bay
with the name given above, and on that
nay are three towns, Marshfleld, North
Bend and Eastslde, their size being in
the order given.
I have ' written a letter from North
Bend. I intend to write a letter from
Marshfleld, but the article now being
. written will deal with the bay and the
surrounding country. And it will be
written with a good deal of pleasure,
for there is not a place in the state that
furnishes anything like the material
for one who is holding up a country for
comparison that the Coos Bay section
does. There is no part of Oregon that
needs development more than this; on
the other hand there are here being
conducted enterprises and operations on
such a colossal scale as to make even
the oldest portions of our state, aye,
even the oldest portions of the West,
sit up and take notice. Of course the
principal one of these is the Smith
mill, of which I wrote, hence there
need be no more said about Mr. Smith
and his enterprises, even though I but
touched the outer edge of the subject
in that letter. When I write from here
again, which ought to be during the
coming Summer, I will more than likely
tell about the revolutions worked in the
logging camps by electricity, and de
scribe in detail the felling of trees and
every operation, even to the trimming
off of the limbs and the removing of the
brush, by the aid of that subtle agent
Mr. mlt,h can now put his lumber on
board a vessel at less cost than any
other man or concern in the world, it is
said, and yet he figures there must be
a saving of 10 to 20 per cent on the
present cost. 1
Trside Went ,1 California.
Coos Bay Is in Oregon, end yet. until
very recently, almost the entire trade
of the section went to California, The
first operations of any magnitude were
conducted here by Californians and Cal
ifornia capital. Transportation lines
carried freights from here to Califor
nia, or from there here, at a much ltfw
er rate than such service cost between
here and Portland. It Js only of late
years that The Oregonlan was able to
supplant the San Francisco newspapers
here. Indeed, but for a state loyalty
and pride almost beyond belief. Coos
Bay would be yet practically a San
Francisco town. Yes, there ere some
of the best Oregonians here I ever met,
men who are proud beyond measure of
their state, men who will go to almost
any honorable length, entailing great
financial loss, to uphold dear old Ore
ETOn. i 1
In considering these things you must
remember that San Francisco has had
every advantage, save in the matter of
distance. It is 365 miles from here to
the Golden Gate, only 300 miles to
Portland. As all freight goes to and
fro by water that distance cuts a very
small figure in the cost of carriage.
But for many years there was no ade
" quate service between here and Port
land, but many vessels plying between
here and California points.
Before proceeding further it may be
well to tell the uninformed how the
Coos Bay people keep in touch with the
outside world, how they go and come,
how they get their mall. To begin with
there Is a boat owned by the Southern
Pacific Company, the good ship Break
water, plying regularly between here
and Portland. During the summers she
makes a round trip every five days, in
the Winter months one trip a week. It
takes her from 30 to 36 hours to make
the run. depending on the tides. This
is a fine trip, particularly in the Sum
mer, and she usually carries a large
passenger list and a good tonnage of
freight. Practically the freight busi
ness between the two -ports is confined
to this vessel and the Alliance, the lat
ter running from Portland to Eureka,
But there are other smaller craft ply
ing up and down the coast that touch
here, and the Smith steamer Kedondo
makes regular trips from here to the
Golden Gate.
Stajce Ride Complete Trip.
There is 'a stage and boat line out
via the TJmpqua River and Drain. Boats
leave here at various hours between 1
o'clock and 10 o'clock in the morning,
the hour varying according to the tide.
These boats take their passengers to a
point on the channel nearly opposite
Empire. Here they are taken by a
four-horse stage up the beach to Win
chester Point, just below the mouth of
the TJmpqua. Here they are trans
ferred by a life boat to a. little steamer
awaiting them around the point in the
river. In this they travel to Gardiner,
where they stop for dinner. In the aft
ernoon they are taken up the river, 21
miles, to Scottsburg. There they re
main until and 5 o'clock the following
morning, when they take a stage ride
over a rough road to Drain, a station
on the Southern Pacific If the stage
makes a quick trip between Scottsburg
and Drain connection maybe made with
the night train for Portland. But usu
. ally the night, or part of ti. has to be
spent in Drain, and Portland is reached
the next afternoon, from 60 to 72 hours
from Marshfleld.
Another way Is to take the railway
from here south to Myrtle Point, 26
miles, and then take the stage to Rose
burg, then the Southern Pacific I
understand this route is & little quicker
than the Drain route, but it entails a
night ride. I never made the Journey.
I have been told that it differs not
much in point of comfort from the
Drain trip,, so I have no desire to try
it. The mail for Myrtle Point and the
routes supplied from there, comes in by
this stage line.
Mail Cornea by Wagon Road.
The mail for Marshfleld and other
Coos Bay points comes in from Rose
burg by a different route, over what is
called the Coos Bay wagon road, which
lies to the north of the Roseburg route
mentioned. The mail is carried on pack
animals, so I gness the rpad is not quite
as good as an asphalt street, particu
larly in the wet season. Mail reaches
here from Portland in 48 hours. The
Coos Bay people get The Oregonlan at
their breakfast table on the second
morning after publication.
In the wet season there Is no great
joy in any trip from here to the "out
side." for even by boat you have two
bars to cross, and unless you are copper-lined
you will feed the fishes going
or coming; in the dry season "any of the
routes can be taken without much dis
comfort, and soon there will be a good
auto, road leading in from the Pacific
...II r .J f&. !ki 4!
& S ?Yr ill
Biiehwav. In the dry season autos
now make the trip, but the roads are
not of the best. I mentioned above a
railway. Oh, yes. there is a railway
running from Coos Bay south to Myrtle
Point. I will give its name again, and
you want to study that name, for it
will elve an insight into tne nopes. oe-
liefs. expectations, desires and, perhaps
promises of Its builder tne i;oos cay
Roseburg & Eastern Railroad & Navi
gation Company.
This road was built along about 1889
or 1890. or. rather, it was begun then
by a San Francisco capitalist by the
name of R. A. Graham, but he was as
sisted bv subsidies from both Coos amd
Douglas Counties. Running short of
funds before the road was finished he
received assistance from John i).
Spreckels & Brother. Later they. got
into litigation with Mr. Graham over
it, end W. S. Chandler, then or Ban
Francisco, was appointed receiver.
Spreckels secured possession of it and
Mr. Chandler operated it in his inter
est until about eight or nine years ago,
when it was sold to 'the Southern Pa
cific Company, the consideration, it Is
said, being $750,000, the purchase in
cluding the Beaver Hill coal property.
Fourth Railroad Boom On.
It may be said that the second rail
road excitement then began, as it was
supposed that the Southern Pacific
Company would at once extend it east
ward. But nothing was done. In a
short time, however, this company be
gan the construction of ,a road from
Drain, down Elk Creek and the Umpqua
River, thence across from a point near
Gardiner to Coos Bay, and the third
excitement was on. How work sud
denly ceased on this line is quite re
cent history.
Now there is more excitement, the
fourth, and the Southern Pacific inter-:
ests are building a road by what may
be termed the logical route, from Eu
gene to Coos Bay, and It looks like Coos
Bay is to" have a better road than was
ever anticipated, a road that will mean
more to the people here than any ever
projected, a through line at almost a
water-level grade from Portland to San
Francisco, therefore a link in a great
transcontinental highway.
And let it be remembered that the
Harriman interests are constructing a
road westward from the Snake River.
It seems only logical to consider that
at some day not far distant this road
will reach Coos Bay. When it does, all
other points in Oregon, all other points
along the Pacific from Alaska to Mex
ico, w-Ul have to reckon with Coos Bay
and strive with it for supremacy.
Railroads are built for the purpose
of hauling passengers and tonnage.
The former is of minor Importance in
the West, save in territory adjacent
to large citieB. And what tonnage has
a road the right to expect from Coos
Bay? It almost staggers- the human
understanding to analyze the subject,
the figures baffle the mind, confuse the
brain. Take the lumber business alone.
It is said the timber tributary to this
point amounts to a thousand billion
feet. Cut that in half, then cut it
again in half and we have 250,000.000,
000 feet, and as each foot weighs two
pounds we have figure out the ton
nage yourself and give only a third
of it to the railroads and the balance
to the ships.
Enormous Tonnage la Sight. '
Then remember that the timber is
growing faster than it can possibly be
cut and It will be seen that a half doz
en roads might be constructed to reach
Coos Bay and take care of her lumber
tonnage and all grow rich.
But this is only one side gf the sub
ject, for Coos Bay has about the only
coal adjacent to the Pacific Coast along
our border below Alaska. You will'
hear all sorts of stories about Coos
Bay coal. You will be told it is the
best on earth, others will tell you it is
the poorest. In fact it is just a good
quality of domestic coal and not a
superior for steam purposes. It has
been mined and shipped to San Fran
cisco, where it has found a ready mar-
aH 'a

ket for these 50 years; it has been used
by many vessels with success as to its
cheaoness. for the mines are so lo
cated that It can be laid down here at
the bay for about 12 a ton; it ought to
ruddIv the Portland market at less
than 6 a ton. It is delivered to Marsh
field consumers at $4 a ton.
Is there any considerable amount of
it? Let us go to the records as puo
llshed by the United-States Geological
Survey. The facts are published in
documents ODen to all. The maps show
the field is in the shape of an elongated
O, with Coos Bay as the hole in the
letter. One side rests at the Pacific's
shores, the opposite east of Coos Bay,
say 16 miles across. From the north to
the south this big O is 80 miles long,
and the field embraces 400 square miles,
or say 250,000 acres. Each acre, it is
claimed, contains about 28,000 tons,
rather that is about the average. Sup
posing it is reduced to 20,000 tons, then
cut that in half a few times and we
have a tonnage startling in its magni
tude. So taking the lumber and the
coal combined Coos Bay has a tonnage
beyond that of any town in the coun
try depending upon natural .resources,
rivaling such manufacturing centers as
Pittsburg, vieing with the ore re
sources in the lake regions.
Bay Afforda Great Harbor.
Now, nothing has been said about the
bay and the harbor and the channel
and the bar and all that pertains to
shipping. It would take a long article
to deal with that question alone. But
here is the making of the finest fresh
water harbor along the coast, and the
bar is one of the easiest to open to a
great deptli and keep open. The navy
of the United States might come into
the harbor accompanied by every other
vessel plying the Pacific and find safe
anchorage and in fresh water. A mil
lion dollars, economically spent, would
give over 30 feet from Marshfleld to
the sea, another million would give u
feet. As it is ships drawing 20 feet
come over the bar at high tide, such
vessels such as the Nann Smith, draw
ing 17 to 18 feet, are never bar bound.
A long chapter could De written on
the fishing interests of the bay and
adjacent territory. The salmon fisher
ies alone are worthy of great consid
eration. All sorts of sea fish are taken
in abundance adjacent to the bar. As
to crustaceans there are t-fte finest
crabs along the coast, also rock oysters
and clams in abundance, and at one
time the the bay was literally covered
to adepth of several feet with oysters.
In the dredging operations it has been
found that the bottom of the bay has
a mass of oyster shells about four feet
in depth. Traditions says that about
150 yearB ago a, "big fire" burned over
this whole section and denuded the
hills of the watershed of their timber.
Then the rains came and washed down
the mud and smothered the oysters, for
an oyster covered with an inch of mud
or sediment is soon put out oi Dusiness.
Now a word as to the possibilities
here for the homeseeker and the in
vestment seeker. The - former . who
comes here soon can find such oppor
tunities as are almost unbelievable.
Many of the old settlers want to sell
out, and their little farms can De
bought mighty low. it is true xne nne
ranches command big prices. The finest
dairy lands are worth around $300 an
acre; and yet right at hand there are
tracts that only need a inwe clearing
to be worth as much, which can be had
at very low prices and on very easy
terms The man with a tnousand or
two dollars, who wants a home on the
land, can find openings unequaled in
Coos.

500 at One Meeting Denounce
Attacks on Yk M. C. A.
CREDIT MEN TAKE ACTION
Ad Club Also Rallies to Defenso oi
Institution Dragged In Dirt ot
Slander and Alleged Malice
by Evening Newspaper.
Five hundred men and women at the
First Preshyterian Church last night
showed, byMhe applause that greeted
a speech by 'Rev. T. H. Walker, how
deeply they resented the attacks that
have been made recently upon the Y.
M. C. A. '
The meeting and dinner was held in
support of home missions, but in his
closing speech Mr. Walker said that
at the present time one of the things
needed from them all as Christians,
whatever their denomination, was to
assist a Christian institution. '
ti "The- Young Men's Christian Associa
tion has been lied about in a most
.Iscandalous manner; its good name has
been dragged in the dirt, and n nas
been attacked in a malicious manner
by an afternoon paper. No better occa
sion could exist than this for one and
all to protect its good name, to speak up
for its past record and to stand beside
the association and its members.
Credit Mea Take Action.
" "Wherever people get together they
have a splendid opportunity of coun
teracting the evil reports that have
been spread."
Continued applause greeted these
words by Dr. Walker.
Resolutions condemning as slander
ous, malicious and libelous articles
against the Y. M. C. A, appearing in the
News were passed last night by the
Portland Association of Credit Men at
their monthly business meeting and
banquet held at the-Multnomah-Hotel.
The association was held by the so
ciety to be an institution to which all
of -its members looked up; wnicn xney
held in the highest . respect, and
which they declared was deserving of
the support and commendation oi tne
entire community and county. "Its
work through the entire United States
is upheld and Bupported by the best
neODle in every communityfrom every
standpoint, whether m'oral. religious or
commercial, . the resolution read.
Ad Clnb Resent Attacks.
Commendation of a similar nature
was accorded to the institution by the
members of the Ad Club, which ex
pressed its hearty indorsement of the
Y. M. C. A. at the luncheon yesterday
and its disapproval of statements that
have been made public wnicn nave
tended to cast odium upon the organi
zation. The following committee was
appointed and instructed to draw up
resolutions of confidence to De dis
patched to the officers of the Y. M. C,
A. and to offer all assistance from
the Ad Club In overcoming the slanders
directed against the organization: J.
E. Werleln. Don C. Prentiss, E. D.
Timms, Will Lipman and E. O. Burdon.
The Greater Portland Plans Associa
tion at its annual meeting last night
passed resolutions indorsing the Y. M.
C. A. and severely censuring "publi
cations that have circulated statements
castincr odium upon it." A copy of
the resolution was ordered sent to the
secretary of the Y. M. C. ,A.
LABOR RADICALS BEATEN
TRADE AtrrOXOMfY UPHELD BY
VOTE OF TWO TO ONE.
Federation Will Continue Policy of
Trade Autonomy Gompers De-
, fends Present Order.
ROCHESTER. n7y Nov. 20. After a
debate that lasted all day members of
the radical wing of the American Fed
eration of Labor were defeated nearly
2 to 1 in their attempt to have the Fed
eration adopt the principle of industrial
unionism in place of its policy of trade
autonomy. Two hundred ana forty-nine
delegates voted against the minority re
port of the committee or education,
which favored the principle of indus
trial unionism, and 142 voted In its
favor.
The voting strength of the conven
tion, based on membership in repre
sented bodies, went 10.083 against the
minority report, and 6929 for it. After
the minority report had been defeated,
the majority report in favor of the con
tinuance of trade autonomy was adopt
ed by acclamation.
The vote was the first test ot
strength between the radical and con
servative wings, and the numter oi
votes Dolled by the radicals was slight
ly under their advance estimates. The
vote of the United Mineworkers (2670)
and the Western Federation of Miners
(606) was cast solidlyfor the minority
renort. Other groups that lined up
solidlv with the radicals were the bak
ers and confectioners, iron, steel and
tin workers, printing pressmen, railway
carmen and Journeymen.
As a result of the adoption of the
majority report, the federation will
continue, for a year at least, to recog
nize the Independent autonomy of in
ternational and National unions affili
ated with it, and wherever its policy of
trade autonomy seems unsuited to the
Industry, it will introduce the principle
of industrial unionism.
Among those who - advocated the
minority report were John W. Mitchell
and Joseph r. Cannon, of the Western
Federation of Miners. President Gom
pers defended the present policy of the
federation.

NEW YORK, Nov. 20. (Special.)
Charges that gratuities which amount
ed to bribes were paid by the Federal
Sugar Refining Company, of which
Claus A. Spreckels is president, to Gov
ernment weighers, were made today by
the Government attorney In connection
with a suit brought by the Government
to recover 119,080.98 in duties. The
Government contends that cargoes of
sugar received at the sugar company n
Yonkers plant between 1902 and 1909
were so frequently under-weighed that
this amount Is still owing.
Summons and, complaint were filed
today in the United States District
Court, and papers were served upon
Spreckels. " -
Spreckels Emphatic in Denial, .
Spreckels denied emphatically that
the difference in weight always had
been against the Government.
"So far as we are concerned, he
said, "I wish ' to say Just this. We
have done no wrong. We are an hon
est concern, and not in the same cata
logue with concerns that used spring
Referring to the report that criminal
action might be instituted, Spreckels
said: .
"Any talk of criminal proceedings at
this time can be nothing but an attempt
to force us to pay a claim that we deny
the justice of." ,
SDreckels then brought his fist down
with a bang as he added: I

That as the result of a false report
made in January, 1909, for the benefit
of the directors of the State Bank of
Commerce, at Wallace, a dividend of
15 per cent, or $15,000, was declared by
the directors, was testified to late to
day by Edgar S. Wyman. ex-cashier,
when recalled to the stand In the trial
of Bernard F. O'Nell for alleged vio

Wyman also testified that the rec
ords for the defunct bank showed, on
October 24, 1910, an overdraft of $3L
000, which was entered, "William K.
Shissler donation account," but which
really represented O'N'eil's campaign ac
count when he was candidate for Gov
ernor that year In Idaho. Wyman said
O'Nell had told him that the Shissler
account was his campaign account.

NATIONAL GRAXGK TO MEET IN
EAST NEXT YEAR.
Bureau of Information and De
natured Alcohol Principal Topics
of Wednesday's Session.
SPOKANE, Nov. 20. The entire after
noon session of the National Grange
here today was taken up In debating a
report of the committee on co-operation,
favoring the establishment of a
bureau of Information, with the Na
tional Grange secretary as Its head.
The purpose of the bureau is to dis
seminate information among the state
granges, as to the purchase and sale of
farm products and supplies. The point
at issue was that the proposed bureau
should be conducted by a specially
named business agent. In order that
none of the officers of the National
Grange should have any connection
with it.
The report of E. T. Pettit. of Cali
fornia, declaring against any increase
In the nay of county deputies or In the
appropriations for extension work In
various states, was adopted.
New Hampshire was awarded the
next annual conclave of the National
Grange. Six other states submitted in
vitations for the meeting. While the
National Grange delegates select only
the state, leaving the naming of the
town to the state organization, It is
practically certain that Manchester will
be the point selected
The reasons why the removal of the
internal revenue tax from denatured
alcohol made from 'waste farm products
has not resulted In benefit to tho farm
er, was ' discussed by the National
Grange today. A resolution was adopt
ed urging Congress to institute an In
vestigation as to why not a single
agricultural distillery has been estab
lished In this country.
The Grange supported the denatured
alcohol measure, which was passed five
years ago, and it was hoped that the
cheap light and fuel made available by
the utilization of waste farm products
would mean a material reduction in tl
cost of living of the farmer.
The Grange decided today to close
its sessions Friday night.
