poorer grades are more willing to
sell, but the growers who have a good

made, consequently there Is not much

In Sllverton."
C. R. La Follctt of the Wheatland
neighborhood, was In the city yester
day and said to a reporter that the
crops In that vicinity are showing up
In excellent shape. The fruit trees
nre In full blossom and there appears
to be no blights affecting them In
that immediate section of the coun
try. The fall grain looks fine and
good results are expected unless un
forseen circumstances arise to check
the growth.
C. M. Sain and C. H. Keith, who
have been identified with the Coos
Bay Harbor of North Bend for a
number of years, have sold out their
Interests in that publication, and A.
Whlsnant, who has been in North
Bend for a few weeks running the
"Quick Print" Job plant, will have
charge of the paper In the future.
Mr. Sain will go to Boise, Idaho,
where he will report the Steunenberg

complete the story, "When Socialism

The following article on Coos Bay
was written by M. A. Swectman of
Marshfleld and appeared in theOre
gonlan: The people of Marrmlu.d are as
full of enthusiasm over the future
prospects of the Coos Bay country as
the Pacific ocean is full of water.
Within the next few years we shall
see a great commercial sea port lo
cated on Coos Bay, which will be tho
terminal of several transcontinental
railroads and the gate way of the
Oriental countries. Coos Bay Is by
far the best harbor on the Pacific
coast between the Columbia river and
San Francisco, and it is the natural
outlet for the greatest undeveloped
lumber, coal and agricultural region
of the Pacific states.
The destiny of Coos Bay is fixed
by the inexorable law of geography
by being located about 200 miles
from the Columbia river and about
400 miles from San Francisco, and is
at the point on the coast line farther
est west, thereby being one day's
sailing nearer the Orient than any of
the commercial points along the Pa
cific coast. The harbor of Coos Bay
at this moment is capable of receiv
ing as large a ship as was in the har
bor of New York City 25 years ago.
To a great many people this state
ment may seem Incredible, but it
is a fact that prior to the year 1884
the water on the bar at New York
City was less than 30 feet in depth
at low tide, and originally there was
I only 10 feet. New York City has
only had a harbor capable of receiv
1 lng the largest ships since the year
1 1900, and at an enormous cost to the
i government. The government now
spends annually millions upon mil
lions of dollars in maintaining the
many harbors along the Atlantic
ocean where great railroad and com-
, mercial centers are located. And
without a question each of these
I great cities owes its existance to the
I fact that it is located upon a good

It is evident that Coos Bay has
several extraordinary advantages in
its unusual form and location, and
some of the advantages are specially
important by reason: First Of
its remoteness from other harbors.
Second Of Its proximity to great
resources of coal, timber and wheat
countries, also cattle and mineral

hour at other I districts. Third Of its central lo
cation, whereby It is a great strategic
point for competing railroad systems.
It Is only a question of time when the
Hill line, Gould line, the Burlington
and the Rock Island systems will
have their terminals at Coos Bay.
The Southern Pacific Is now con
structing a line from Drain to Coos
; Bay as fast as labor and material
can be secured, and under all proba
bility Coos Bay will have a railroad
1 within a year which will be the re
' suit of raising a city upon Coos Bay
that will be a surprise to the natives.
Tho making of a great city denends
largely upon two things: First, and
most important, its geographical lo
cation rolativo to its being favored
with a good harbor which affords
deep water transportation and pro
tection for ships; its remoteness from
other commercial centers, also being
naturally located so as to encourage
tho building of a great commercial
center. Second Its proximity to a
largo nrea of undeveloped country
tnnt is rich in the production of
timber, coal, agricultural products;'
also a mining nnd stock raising
country. , ,
The opportunity for water trans
portation at Coos Bay Is without a
question tho best between tho Colum
l bia river and San Francisco, which
i fact alone Is enough to warrant tho
building of a larfeo city at Coos Bay.
Tho Coos Bay country in Itself has
about 640 sntinro mllos nf vorv rloii
I timber nnd coal Innd, saying nothing
about tho vast area of country that
would bo tributary to Coos Bay if we
had railroad connection. Whqn we
get a railroad, n largo portion of tho
Wlllamotto valloy, all of southern
Orogon and Idaho will bo tributary
to this place. Why? Becauso It will
be tho most direct shipping point
along tho Pacific coast for all th,ls
vast area of country to San Fran
cisco and tho Oriental countries
the products of the Pacific states.
That Coos Bay has an abundance
of resources Is evidenced in the fact
that the state of Oregon has one
sixth of the standing merchantable
timber of the United States and Coos
Bay country alone has about 27,000,
000,000 feet of tlmbdr nenr the har
bor, besides about 100,000,000,000
feet that Is tributary to Coos Bay.
This necessarily means a great
source of revenue to all Hues of In
dustry In Coos Bay. According to
tho United States geological survey
Coos Bay has 400 square miles of
coal land that Is underlnld with 8
veins of coal that vary In thickness
from one foot to fourteen feet. This
coal Is a lignite, and an excellent
quality is obtained for domestic and
steam purposes. There are two'
mines In operation now, the Llbby
Coal Mining company and the Beaver
Hill mines, which are supplying the
San Francisco markets. It is esti
mated that there are 800,000,000
tons of coal In Coos county enough
coal to last the entire United States
for many years.
coos nay is especially noted as a
dairy and fruit country. On account
of the abundance of natural grass the
year around and the mildness of tho
climate, tho farmers are able to keep
large herds of milch cows, which In
Itself Is the source of much wealth
to the country. There Is no better
fruit and berry country anywhere In
the west than on Coos Bay, and every
variety of the orchard is grown with
profit, except peaches. Wild berries
grow In abundance. In the summer
season the country abounds In sal
monberrles, dewberries, blackberries,
strawberries, salalberrles, huckleber
ries, blueberries, thimble-berries and
evergreen-berries. All kinds of agrl-
cultural products do fine. Potatoes
afford one of the chief agricultural
exports. Yields of from 400 to 600
bushels per acre have been reported
by many farmers. Sweet corn, to
matoes, peas, celery, cabbage, beans,
onions, lettuce, beets, rhubarb, cran
berries, carrots, turnips, pumpkins,
cauliflower and ground cherries aro
grown in great quantities around
Coos Bay. In fact this is an ideal
fruit, vegetable and berry country,
where only a few acres of land is
necessary to make a comfortable ltv-!
ing.
Tho fisheries of Coos Bay are of no
little Importance, not only In a com
mercial sense, but for the recreation
of the pleasure seeker. Many varie
ties of salmon, crabs, clams, rock
oysters and mussels are caught In
great abundance in the bay, while the
lakes and rivers abound in trout and
other kinds of fish. Sportsmen find
all kinds of game plentiful in season.
The Coos Bay country has no equal
for fine hunting.
Coos Bay's pleasure resorts are be
ing talked of and visited by people
from all over the country. There are
few countries favored with as fine
natural scenery as Coos Bay. Many
attractive lakes, rivers, beaches, for-'
ests and waterfalls are within a few '
minutes' ride from Marshfleld, where
one may go and forget the cares of
business life.
The climate Is as near perfect as
can bo found anywhere, which Is duo
to the fact that there is a difference
of only thirteen degrees between
summer and winter temperatures.
The thermometer seldom goes to 90
degrees In summer, or below 30 in
the Winter. Tho nvornn-o rnlnfnll Id !
about 66 Inches, and everybody re
gards the rainy season as the most
healthful part of the year. Coos Bay
people are particularly blessed with
an abundance of good fresh air from
the Pacific, and an unlimited supply I
ot good, pure mountain water. The
results aro that Coos Bay has no ty
phoid or malarial fevers, no con-
puiupuon ana practically no conta-1
gious diseases; in fact doctors are the i
only kind of people that are not In
demand at tho present time.
Perhaps people would like to know '
wuat coos Bay Is doing, and how
much faith other people have in tho
future of Coos Bay. At present Coos
Bay has shipbuilding yards, sawmills,
shingle mills, snsh and door fnctory,
brewing plant, woolen mill, Iron
foundries and machine shops, salmon
cannery, mattress factory, condensed
milk factory, creamery and cheese I
factory. These Industries are hero to
be seen not "to be" but thoy are
hero.
