well within the bounds of truth. 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

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.

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

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.

by extending an urgent invitation to
