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

j.ttiii.- aiiu . j
