In referring to the timber cut in Min neapolis in tho past 50 years, he stated that It amounted to ten bil lion, and added that in the past 25 years there had not been a log cut within convenient distance of the great sawmill city. He Is buying logs which are rafted for a distance of 275 miles to his Minneapolis mills, and here tho Coos Bay coun try hns logs within 75 miles that will run at the samo rate the mills there have been cutting for 250 years. This great resource alone, should and will make Coos Bay a great seaport. But, this is only one resource. The Only Coal Hurbor. There are millions of tons of coal In Coos county practically on tide water, and thus easy of access, and certain to reward the operators who come here and open the Industry as It should be opened. In speaking of the Coos Bay coal he compared it with the bituminous coal which ii mined in the middle states, and claimed it Is as good quality as Is mined In Iowa 'and Illinois. The fact that the coal deposits disgorge only lignite Is no drawback, for it burns and fills the requirements of coal, and Its chief use Is for burning. He made a statement that few have paused to consider; that there is no harbor in the United States w'th a contiguous coal deposit, except Coos Bay. Pull Together. Mr. Smith advised the meeting that the only way to gain favors and rights Is to pull together and go after what is wanted, and not wait for it to be handed to you. He eulogized the climate and the strangers applauded with the resi dents. "Will Have Deep Channel. Mr. Smith believes in taking up tho matter of deepening the harbor at homo and doing something here before asking some foreigner to aid in the work. This can be done by using what State and Federal aid that can be commanded. He has a rs combinedcfciabli We have few questions aainei Player " f -' "means nf fldtfistment"? tube from the action and from the expression box, and in arl termed "cheap pianos" furnish you with anything in the Building, Corner C.

Marshfleld, ship now building in Eastern waters that will draw IS feet of water, but he has been tbld (by experienced seamen on tho coast that he cannot take a full cargo from Coos Bay with such a ship. Such a state ment does not worry him, though he would prefer to ship full cargoes. Said he: "Perhaps I may not take out n full cargo tho first year, not the second year, and perhaps not tho third year, but the time will come when I shall." This boat will como to Coos Bay about tho first of January next year. Interests Easterners. Sinco ho left here the last time he has interested himself in the matter of dredging the bay, and has talked with several men respecting the work. Ono man Is due heio July 20 at his solicitation, to look Into tho matter of dredging, and he advised the peoplo to be ready for him and welcome him with a proposition that will keep him here and support the building of a dredge and Its operation for several years, if not permanently. Enormous Payroll. At home Mr. Smith expends so much enthusiasm on talking Coos Bay that he often finds his friends winking the other eye. But that Is no discouragement to a man who knows what he Is talking about, ac cording to his way of taking their humor. An interesting item in tho progress and business prosperity of Marshfleld is the payroll of the Smith Lumber and Manufacturing Company, which amounts to $1,000 every day, "and he said he hopes It will never be less. Since arriving here this time he has talked with a number of his workmen and found them unanimously delighted with the climate and surroundings of Coos Bay. Transcontinental Lines. Here he dropped in the most sig nificant point of his talk by offering the information that his company will probably have other industries connected with the lumbering busi ness, and made this prediction: that within five years Coos Bay will have two additional transcontinental rail roads besides the Southern Pacific, i Coming as he doe3 from the East and being in touch with capitalists who are conversant with the rail road situation, this prediction is fraught with significance. Need Appropriations. Federal patronage in Oregon 13 shed 1846 by Elias which you ay ask us and which action in foul distinct sections? with the piyer attachment? controlled by pcople living on the Columbia river, Mr. Smith was asked somo time since to uso his Influence In Minnesota for helping the Columbia, and gladly did so. But ho thinks that hereafter, tho Columbia river region should leave p e of tho appropriations for Coos ii . Even with tho appropriations w..lch tho Columbia receives, that river is neglected when compared with waterwajs in the East. The conclusion of his speech was marked by hearty applause and words of praise. Mr. Ilo.ulnell Speaks. Mr. Headwell, a friend of C. A. Smith, was Introduced as one who would Interest 'Eastern friends in a hotel enterprlso on Coos Bay. Mr. Headwell said he had heard some Coos Bay talk from Mr. Smith, In fact, Mr. Smith was so Insistent on his coming out hero thnt ho pulled up and left home three dnys after returning from California, beforo ho had time to see his home friends. Would llulld Hotel. This gentleman desires to learn what the citizens of Coos Bay are willing to do in a local way to aid tho building of a hotel that will bo a credit to tho country. To show the need of such a convenience he related a conversation ho heard botween two San Francisco men. Ono was tolling the other he had to come to Empire City on Coos Bay, but it was a God-forsaken coun try and he hated to go, as there were no good hotel accommodations. To contrast this, Mr. Headwell said that if there were such a place, capital ists would not feel the same reluct ance they now do about coming hero. He said ho was ready to hear any proposition tho people of Marshfleld cared to make. Dr. McCornmc Talks. Dr. McCormac took occasion at tho closo of Mr. Headwell's talk to fahow how backward tho country is with reference to modern buildings. Ho then said It was the wish of tho Chamber of Commerce that overy man who Is interested in tho devel opment of the country should asso ciate himself with the body and thus lend greater assistance to tho efforts now being made on behalf ot this development. Ho said their presence at meetings was a valuable aid as well as the finances so liberal ly advanced. Ho said the success of the country depends largely upon increasing payrolls and that indus tries are needed in Marshfleld. When Parkman Needham, which will be beneficial to you 'to know before and trouble is reauired? replacing them is not care reauired to- nre- Musical Line at prices and terms which Federal aid is asked, tho representa tions should bo thnt it is asked by tho business Interests of this section. Ho complimented tho real estate dealers and stated without reserva tion that they have douo moro to wards advertising Coos Bay than any other class. William Grimes Will Help. Mr. William Grimes was then In troduced, and got right to the point In his opening sentence. IIo said tho time wns rlpo for action, and suggested that committees bo ap pointed to look after the dredging, the hotel, nnd other matters. Ho said that when tho harbor is dredged the railroads will como. He closed by saying ho was hero to stay and to help In the development all ho could. .His vigorous talk was applauded. Tho following commlttoo was ap pointed to confer with Mr. Head well and arrango for building the ho tel: Wm. Grimes, James Flanngan, Henry Songstackon, I. S. Kaufman, J. E. Oren. New Members Added.
