FROM ADDISON BENNETT. MARSHFIELD, Or., June 20. (Staff Correspondence.) I have always been rather skittish about mentioning any thing about the origin of the name of the town to a citizen of Marshfleld. Old Man Marsh, for whom they allege It was named, has seemed to be a sort of myth but the marsh itself, in which a portion of the city has built up, has always been In evidence. But now! The macsh is no more; it is something of the past: it is solid ground up to the level of the streets. I think the dredges have sucked about 15,000,000 yards of shells, sand and gravel from the bay, and with .Li- i o loot vBcticr. ii f the marsh has disappeared. What a stupendous work j i,(o koa Kaon nniv those realize who I know how much of this marsh land there was. It can safely be said, how ever, that no city of the size of Marsh field in Oregon has undertaken a work of such magnitude since the state was founded. The completion of this work since my last visit, November, 1912, has ut terly and absolutely changed the aspect as well as the atmosphere of the city. Jt has also in a great measure changed the business section, which theretofore was circumscribed by swamps and frog ponds. Before the fills were made there were miles and miles of planked streets on pilings. Most of these planked highways are now well paved with broad cement walks. The only planking left is over recent fills where the filling has not settled. As soon as it becomes firm other miles of streets will be paved and curbed and side walked In as perfect a manner as those already Improved. Smith Mill Is Greatest. Whenever a person picks up a news paper or magazine having an article about Marshfield or Coos Bay, the first thought of the reader is about the great C. A. Smith sawmill and its kindred enterprises. So much has been written about this mill and its operations are so well known that I am not going to take much space for its mention in this brief letter. First, because I could not deal with the subject satis factorily In less than a dozen columns In The Oregonian; secondly, it would take a month to get the information together. One magazine had six men here for 90 days working up an article and getting pictures for it yet the Bmith enterprises were only superficial ly covered. I will cover the matter in a paragraph by saying it is the great est sawmill in the world. It cuts more lumber per day than any other mill. Jt is the most complete mill ever con structed. It handles its output more economically than any other mill. It gets its cut to the market at a less rate than any other mill. It has better vessels than any other mill and better railways. When I supplement those sentences by saying that its payroll is more than 120,00p a month, I think I can turn to some other subject. Banks Are Unique. Take the Marshfleld banks to show what the city is doing. The oldest bank hero the Bennett & Flanagan Bank of Marshfield was founded a Quarter of a century ago the coming November. There has been no change In its officials, save the one caused by the death of the elder Flanagan, since Its doors were opened. Joe Bennett has always been its president; R. F. Wil liams has always been its cashier. What other bank in the Northwest can show a continuous management for 25 years? This bank has become one of the great financial institutions of Ore gon. It has capital and surplus of $118,000 and deposits of $696,000. Aside from this it has a branch at Myrtle Point, with capital and surplus of $27, 000 and deposits of $133,000. Then there is in connection with the bank here, or in a way affiliated with it, with offices in the Bennett & Flanagan Bank building, the Bennett Trust Com pany, with capital, surplus and un divided profits of $125,000. Joe Bennett Is president of this and Arthur Mc Keown secretary and treasurer. The First National Bank was organ teed in March, .1905, but it has made great stride's aha 'now has capital and surplus of $122,000 and deposits of $635,000. W. S. Chandler is its presi dent and Dorsey Kreitzer its cashier. Papers Wide-Awake. Marshfield has two daily and two weekly newspapers, and . the people here get the news about as quickly and reliably as in any other city. There are two evening dailies, the Coos Bay Times being the oldest. It is in its 37th year. It is owned by the Maloney brothers Mike and Dan. Mike is the editor and Dan does the business stunts and the rustling on the outside. They are both young men and stand high in Marshfield business and social circles. The Evening Record is also a live dally. It is in its third year. A. R. O'Brien is the owner and editor. It has full press dispatches and is also a well-gotten up and newsy sheet. The oldest paper on the bay is the Coos Bay News, owned and operated by G. A. Bennett. While it is issued but once a week, it is a lively sheet and gives all the news. The Sun is owned and run by Jesse Luse. It was established about 15 years ago and is said to enjoy a good patronage. It is also well con durted in every way. The Chamber of Commerce here takes the place of a commercial club and is alert in the interests of the entire Coos Bay district. Its president is HughMc i i xv Mntlev is the secre- j.ttiii.- aiiu . j tary. This association issues some handsome and reliable printed matter. Fills Deepen Channel.

That, however, brings me to the rail road situation here, something that has kept the -people on the Bay guessing for more than 30 years. But the clouds are lifting. The Willamette Pacific is coming. The hardest nut to crack on this road is the bridge across the chan nel to Nortn isena. wutu mime been done for the approaches and the enehieer who is to have charge of the construction of the bridge.

The company purchased tne cnarter mt road from Marshfield to North Bend.

But from there a line constructed by the C. A. Smith mill continues on south for a distance of 19 7 miles; so really there is a good road already for about 50 miles.
