TTIE MORNING OREGONIAW, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1916. V PQRTLANDERS FIND C0QU1LLE BIG FIELD Trade Party Sees Agricul tural Evolution Almost . in Actual Process. The Entire Third Floor Every Garment $15! COOS SPIRIT CONFIDENT Healthy Towns Spring Up Where Timber Goes Down, and Rail- " roads Approach Nearer ' Mineral Wealth. BY RONALD G. CALLVERT. COQUILLE, Or.. Oct. 12. (Special.) This country offers a peculiar oppor tunity which thePortland men on the trade extension excursion embraced to day. It is the opportunity of witnessing- agricultural evolution almost in actual process. At Powers, the southernmost point of the Journey, the virgin timber wealth of the country is beinj? harvested. There is little of anything industrial there except in prospect. A little farther north more of the timber growth has been removed. The succession of farm ing and dairying is almost visible in its movement as one proceeds south ward. The cultivated field takes the place of what was once a forest. The cheese factory, or group of farm buildings occupy what was once the logging camp. This is not to say that agricuV ture is new in this district. Some of the early settlements of Oregon were In Coos County, while the immediate valley of the Coquille, where the spe cial train is parked tonight, gives lit tle evidence of ever having been a wil derness. It is a broad. Well farmed, fertile valley; It Is toward the south that the transition appears. Powers, be it known, is one of the baby towns of Oregon. It Is a lusty, hoalthy youngster. It is the terminus of the main line of a road built pri marily for logging purposes, but over which the Southern Pacific has traffic arrangements for 20 miles. Fonfrs Tito Years Old. Two years ago there was no town where Powers now stands. Today It is a community of perhaps 1500 resi dents, with numerous stores and a fine grade school, attended by 300 children. Krom tho town radiate the feeder lines of the Smith-Powers Logging Com pany, one line extending 15 miles Into the hills and reaching an elevation of nearly 1500 feet. Down some of these branch roads will one day pour a wealth of mineral. As logging pays for development, the rail lines approach nearer and nearer great coal and Iron and copper deposits. In anticipation of railroad outlet for these minerals. 200 men are scratching the hillsides within an area of IS square miles around Powers looking for ledges. Here one finds the typical prospector, gray-haired, but vigorous, with his pockets full of quartz samples or his prize exhibit a phial of grains of gold. It is a lonesome citizen, too. who can not produce a nugget picked up some where in the vicinity. And the timber, which is the Immediate life of tho dis trict, is in large part the famous Port Orford cedar. Country Well Worth While. These facts are related better to ex plain the spirit of confidence and 'op timism which pervades the Coos coun try. It is a spirit found everywhere by the excursionists. Plainly it is a coun try worth being tied to with, strings of good will and fair dealing. Aside from gaining a store of valua ble information, the Portland visitors spent a busy day calling on customers and friends in Powers, Myrtle Point and Coquille. At Myrtle Point the citizens "got even" in one Incident of the recent railroad jubilee. At that time. Myrtle Point had expected to entertain the Portland excursionists, and a. grand lunch had been prepared which was to have been served in the open. Through some misunderstanding the Portland excursionists did not arrive. At the train today the Portland business men were met by the "Chief of Police" with several willing depu ties. They seized four of the party and carried them In the patrol wagon .before the "Justice of the Peace." There they were charged with a va riety of misdemeanors, chief . among them being the criminal oversight of the jubilee. The court convened in the Unique Theater building In the presence, apparently, of the entire town. Three Prisoners Get Away. At an unguarded moment three of the trembling prisoners, H. A. Conner, A. O. Oberderfer and W. J. Roope, es caped by dashing through the stage door and out the back entrance. Paul De -Haas, the remaining Portland cul prit, was defended by C. T. Haas with out avail. He was found guilty. But, like every well-ordered story, this one has a happy ending. The penalty inflicted was that the defend ant and all his companions should hear of Myrtle Point's delights and re sources, as recited by an eloquent local orator. Is it an overcoat? Or a suit? Do you want to limit yourself to $15, and still get the worth of every penny you invest?

Judge Lowell asserted that the rural credit act would provide 5 per cent money for the farming class, but that it would not enable the laboring man, or the small business man, the great middle class, to get money at a lower rate of interest. The measure, he predicted, would create In this country the curse of landlordism, which he pictured as "the cause and inception of the holocaust in Europe." Judge Lowell referred to Wood row Wilson's views as & private citizen on the labor question and declared they were Inconsistent with his course as President. He praised the stand of Charles B.
