COOS LOOKS ACROSS SEA MARSH FIELD AND WORTH BEND TO SEEK FOREIGN TRADE. Demestie Laaiber Shipments Surpass Other Ports and Bnalaesa Abroad Is Desired. MARSHFIELD. Or., Jan. 29 (Spe cial.) The Marshfield and. North Bend Chambers of Commerce have had a matter of importance called to their attention in the status of lumber ship ments of 1915. While Coos Bay did not ship a stick of timber nor any lum ber to foreign ports, nor has she ever, with one or two slight exceptions, shipped any, other ports with no bet ter mills, no deeper water and no bet ter loading facilities, have shipped mil lions of feet of lumber to Australia, Chile, the Canal Zone, Mexico. Hawaii, Peru. China. Japan and Europe. Coos Bay, however, manufactured and shipped more lumber to domestic ports than Humboldt, Urays Harbor or Willapa Harbor.
