imiDGIXG COOS DAY.
Tho Times stands opposed to the
liridglng of Coos Day. On this pen
insula where tho cities of North
Bend, Marshfield, and Empire are
situated the firm belief exists that
ultimately th'is will bo the site for
Oregon's metropolis. That belief Is
based on the harbor. Nowhere
could a more desirable haven be
.found for ships than at Coos Bay.
.Fourteen miles of wharfage He along
tho water front on the peiflnsula sldo
and seven miles of it are as securely
protected from the sea as though
they were inland that many miles.
3t 13 understood that the proposed
bridge will be a common user. It Is
also cited that It can be built in such
a manner that it will not impede
navigation. Tho term "not impede
navigation" is an extremely broad
ono. There is no question but that
with a draw bridge a steamer could
pass by when tho draw , was open.
They do it now In the canal at Chi
cago. The canal that connects Chi
.cago with tho lakes is about 100 feet
"wide. , l'!'!
The Southern Pacific bridge would
cross tho bay somewhere near Pony
Inlet, which is a little over a half
Tnllo around old North Bend point.
The bay at that place is not much
over a half mile wldo at any ono
place. Tho channol runs very deep.
Can tho citizens of Coos Bay coun
tenance tho placing of a bridge over
a body of water but a half mile wide
and at the same time presume to
speak of Coos Bay as ultimately
ranking with Puget Sound and Gol
don Gate. It must be borne In mind
always that Nature was not as gen
erous In the laying out of the bay
as she was with tho two sister ports.
Golden Gate and Puget Sound wore
originally mado natural deep water
harbors. Before Coos Bay can com
pete with them deeping of tho har
bor will bo required. Thus a duty
devolves on every citizen of this bay.
Each individual must work toward
those ends which will allow for tho
expansion of tho harbor and not tho
retrogression. And there is no
question but that a bridge over any
navigable portion of Coos Bay would
act as an irremediable evil.
Coos Bay citizens liavo a sacred
trust upon them In tho harbor. Ac-
tion taken now will bo felt scores of
years hence moro keenly possibly
than at present. Too much caution
cannot bo exercised in the handling
of tho water front propositions. Do
tho citizens of this peninsula realizo
that they are building hopes for a
groat city and that the slto on which
tho city Is to bo is measured by a
trifle less tlmn sovonteen square
miles? At tho north point of tho
peninsula where tho Southern Pacific
would outer tho width of tho land is
something less than two miles. Tho
widest part of tho peninsula meas
ures not quite flvo miles. In St.
.Louis, Missouri, tho total area of ter
minal trackage Is a little over sev-onty-llvo
squaro miles. The South
ern Pacific and other trans-Continental
linos will not build Into Coos
Day because of philanthropic mo
tlvos; Coos Bay means a futuro
deop-water tormlnus to them. If a
road entors hero Assuredly It must
Jiavo yaids to switch Its cars. Where
will tho yards bo?
There Is no question but that tho
ono lino of tho Southern Pacific now
building into Coos Bay will ulti
mately call for at least four squaro
miles of trackago for yards. It Is a
qtiOMtlon that must bo met, and the
propor way to meet It Is boforo It
.gets boyond control. It Is now n
ljioitIon of whothor tho rosldenta
on Coos Bay want to let tho ji 'iila
uula bo cut up by railroad lima or
whether they profer to lot then i in
down on tho mainland on tho st
Hide of tho bay nnd lot tho f- i ,'.
earn be handled on tho terminal
tracks. If ono railroad Is allowed
o.u the peninsula of Cooa Bay it will
act nualnBt other linos coming In, for
there- is no question but that couces-

Under the caption, "Advertising
Towns and Communities," tho Ore
gonion prints a timely and pointed
editorial on tho valiiu of consistent
publicity work, in the isauo of June
2. Citing instances of judicious ad
vertising the article dwells on tho
excellency of the action ot the T.'orth
Bend Commercial Club in presenting
to Governor Chamberlain a set of
office furniture "made In North
Bend from Coos Bay lumber."
"Originality," says thu Oregonlan,
"Is a very strong feature In advertis
ing Tlie merchant who continual..'
lollo'-s (ho idea? and policies of his
rivals wl'l never make a roputatlon
for him&elf. The imitator but pays a
compliment to tho originator. So
tho town that hopes to make Itself
known to tho world must strike out
on new lines or excel all other towns
In some one particular. One Oregon
community has raT3ed A fund for
the purpose of making a set of fur
niture for the Governor's office at
the Capitol, the furniture to be mado
in that community from lumber pro
duced there. This, project is of
value as an advertiser, for nearly
every stranger who visits the Gov
ernor's office will bo told where that
furniture camo from."
HOTEL QUESTION".
"Why don't they get hotel accom
modation in Marshfield," is an oft
repeated query. It Is a deplorable
feature, and one that should bo recti
fied by the business men of this com
munity before any other work is at
tempted. All the money that can
bo put In publicity work will be wast
ed if a hotel i3 not erected In Marsh
field that will meet, at least to some
extent, the demands which are now
daily going unsatisfied. In the three
hotels in Marshfield there Is a total
of about 220 rooms. For the past
several months there has been on an
average of two applicants for every
room In the city, and some time tho
demand has exceeded that. Coos
Bay's superior advantages as a resort
tho year around ate attracting many
people, and numberless cases have
been cited where prospective visitors,
hecomlng discouraged because of lack
of hotel accommodations, have left
the Bay on the first boat. With a
hotel of adequate appointments
Marshfield will advance with wonder
ful rapidity.
PUBLIC COLUMN j

Editor Coos Bay Times:
Forty-eight yeaVs ago today, June
1st, tho first settlers, consisting of
CS persons, arrived at tho South
Fork of Coquille. Of those, only
eight are left and living on tho river.
Mrs. Nellie Bender, Cora Hermann,
Hon. Briger Hermann, Manuel Her
mann, M. G. Pohl, Mr. and Mrs. Geo.
Stault and Messrs. August and Fred
Schroeder. Not many who at this
day gave us a weicouie are living
now.
Does any ono of tho readers know
I. S. Itose, tho Myrtle Point Record
er? .Please don't all sing out at once
"I do, what with him?" You all
know that he sported a long, gray
beard, which ho was very prone to
stroko with both his hands. That
ornament of his face fell under tho
shears of tho tonsorial artist. What

different than a beauty. With a
change of colthes the transformation
was complete. Darwin himself
would have found it wonderful. No
doubt, since you know Rdse, you
ono has a little of the Old Nick In
them. So Deoye had to get tho town
marshall to arrest a vagrant.
The marshal did his duty and tho
prisoner followed him to tho re
corder's office. However on tho way
there tho prisoner was trying to hang
behind and was hustled to walk right
along. ,
.Arriving at tho ofiice the recorder
could not be found. By and by tho
prisoner left his seat, walked over to
tho safe and began to turn the com
bination. The marshall 'pulled him
back and told him to let that alone or
he would teach htm something. This
was too much for Rose, ho broke out
in a loud Ha, Ha, Ha. Such a laugh
as only our recorder can produce.
The marshall, knowing .this laugh,
nearly fainted. Was this not an act
of cruelty to an officer of the law?
This job finished, Roso went to the
bank to have a check cashed. Mr.
Benson, not knowing this face, re
quested tho bearer to Identify him
self, and is was done. Our banker
was the most completely taken in
man' at tho Point. P.
