It. & N. crossing, thero are probably 26,000 people, every one of whom is vitally Interested In tho mat ter. "More than that, there are- thous ands who, during the summer months take the cars to Natatorlum park and who, on tho Boono avenue cars would have to pass over this crossing If the franchise Is granted. "The proposition Is one which the city council should seriously Investi gate, taking into consideration tho strong public sentiment against grade crossings and tho Insistent demand for the elevation or lowering of tracks whore grade crossings now exist. It should then be apparent that to grant the franchise for which application Is now being made would be Inimical to public interests. There should be no more grade crossings." Address all communications to COOS BAY TIMES Marshficld, Oregon. GRADE CROSSINGS. Spokane, Washington, is facing the grade crossing question. Tho Oregon Itallorad and Navigation Co. la endeavoring to secure a franchise for grade crossings and the Spokane Review does not take kindly to it. In reference to the matter it says: "The Oregon Railroad & Naviga tion Company is attempting an out rage upon Spokane In its effort to secure another franchise permitting it to establish grade crossings on North Monroe street to its property on Mission avenue. The company already crosses Monroe street less than two blocks north of that point and additional tracks on the street grade would mean a further and seri ous menace to the public. "Four lines of street cars would be immediately affected. The North Monroe, tho Boone avenue, the Max well avenue and the Indiana cars run on Monroe street beyond the proposed location of this crossing and patrons of all of those lines, not to mention pedostrians and vehicles, would be In constant danger from passing cars. "Spokane's experience with grade crossings on the line of the Northern Pacific through tho city has been a serious one and should arouse every PORTLAND VS. COOS RAY. The following editorial from the Umpqua Valley News, Roseburg, shows the faith which the people of that vicinity have In the possibilities of Coos Bay: "The claim Is made by tho Coos Bay people that at no distant day the cities of the Bay will constitute the metropolis of the state. It Is saying a good deal, but It Is not claiming too much. For a long time there has been a feeling, and not without rea son, that Portland Is jealous of the possibilities of Coos Bay, and has sought to hold the ambitions of her commercial rival in check. However, the resources of Southern Oregon are pushing those subtle influences aside and are seeking an outlet to the sea through the Bay towns. "It is not necessary to speak In de tail of tho unsurpassed harbor of Coos Bay. Everybody knows it. Thousands of people are just begin ning to realize the extent, if it is possible to do so, of the natural re sources of the country back of it, and tributary to Coos Bay. These re sources, in a developed state, will make Coos Bay the metropolis of Ore gon. With tho building of tho Doug las & Coos Electric Railway tho building up of the Bay towns will be hastened fourfold. With the advent of a transcontinental railway, which is as sure as the fact that the tide rises and falls, the metropolis state for Coos Bay will have become a reality. "Portland Is a great city. It is the present metropolis of a wonderful l)ody, and particularly those residing in tho northwestern section, against state, and one which is large enough the laying of any more of these death to afford two or more splendid sea traps. In that portion of the city port cities. Conditions are such that I p Any hour in the day m I I at the La Bon Vivant 1 1 I lsnch counter. Quiet, 1 1 I quick, clean and moder- I I I I ate.
