JUSTICN IX WKSTKIIX COUIITS.
THE hue and cry which Collier's
raised at tho beginning of the
present Haywood trial in Boise,
Idaho, regarding the question of jus
tice to the men on trial, has become
fainter and fainter as the Boie
drama has unfolded; until now, that
magazine, along with other journals,
admits Justice is being administered
in tho Idaho court. The Spokesman
Itcvlew, Spokane, has a timely edi
torial on the subject" as follows:
"The Haywood trial has progressed
far onough to disclose one result,
and that is the Hast Is coming to
rcallzo that tho workingman can de
pond on tho western courts for jus
tice. "Among those journals which are
frank enough at least grudgingly to
admit their preconceived error is Col-llu-'s.
which now admits that "Idaho
Is conducting a perfectly fair trial,
which ought to shame a good many
people who indulged in wild talk
only .i few weeks ago." Those who
have road previous articles in Col
lier's will be moved to insinuate that
the shoe fits that paper, but the jour
nnl shows a growing desire to bo
fair now that It is In possession of the
facts, 6i no mean advantage will lie
taken.
"Collier's has had its eyes opened
to one other thing, and in this in
stance is aligned with numerous
other reputable journals and clear
thinking people. It says:
" 'However ample or short of am
plo the .evidence may bo in a legal
Bonse, and whatever weight may be
proper to attach to it when consid
ering tho hanging of a human being,
there is plenty to convince- normal
men of sane judgment that the pres
ent regime of th" V'stcn Itera
tion truihcked in violence. It would
bo making an unreasonable demand
to oxpect tho Western Federation,
while tho trial is ponding, to take any
action which would seem to discredit
tho prisoners at tho bar. But for the
future tho degree of approval or dis
approval with which tho country will
look upon this lnbor organization will
dopond on how promptly after tho
end of tho trial whatever the out
como of It the decent element in
tho Federation assorts its strength,
overturns tho prosent regime, and
reorganize after tho model of tho re
spected labor unions of the East.
" 'Tho Haywood trial has been val
uable whether a verdict Is ultimately
roached by tho jurors or not. Tho
East is coming to see the conditions
which tho west has hod to contend
with and In spito of which it has
frown to its prosent greatness. Tills
clcaror knowledge will inevitably
bring tho two sections of tho country
closer togothor in fraternal tooling
and mutual respect.
"Tho Englishwoman who asked
Eugono Field how tho people of
Amorlcn lived and was told by Field:
" 'Woll, whon I was caught I was up
n tree," ' was not much worse than
ninny Amoricans, who know llttlo or
nothing of tho othor part of their
own country, but nro content to lot
othors do their thinking for thorn, let
justice and accuracy bo present or
not."
THE HOTEL.
THE peoplo of Marshflold should
by nil means agroo upon a suit
able holol now. Tho tlino and tho
occasion were novor nioro opportune.
If for no other renson thau to ad-
vorliso Coos Bay tho hotel should
bo established. That a city of 3, COO
pooplo which is entitled by vlrtuo of
location and rosourcoe to huvo 35,000
In five yoara nnd sixty thousand in
ton years, and which asplros to be
ono ot tho important cltios of tho
roast, has no hotel of suitiiblo pro
tQiisIons, is a burning dlsgrneo to to
Orogon.
Tho liotol is or Is not nn experi
ment. If it is now ono tlion Marsh
Hold peoplo should ami could build
It, If It is ono tlion Marshflold
people should be wise enough to aid
in the experiment not by insisting
or compelling, the parties proposing
to erect it to pay a big price for the
site, but by furnishing the site. No
doubt there are persons holding real
estate in this city who would be glad
to contribute some real estate, lots,
to make up n pool for tho purpose of
making good the cost of the site.
Money can not always be furnished
and many of the citizens have their
money tied up in property.
The erection of a good hotel in
Marshueld would add much to the
rm value of city lots. It is not only
safe to say that it would add twenty
live per cent to the prices asked, but
it is safe to say it would add twenty
five per cent to the real value and
make that much of the value perma
nent. If the owners of real estate
in Marshflold would agree to contrib
ute two per cent of their real estate
value:! for such a purpose they could
count on receiving five per cent back
In Increased values. Why don't they
do it? Why not keep up the great
work of building a great city? Let
Mr. Micawber stop waiting for some
thing to turn up and take the pres
ent opportunity by the forelock.
COOS HAY'S FL'TL'RE.
T
M FROM SEATTLE, but now I'm
a C003 Bay man," remarked a
gentleman In a conversation yester
day. Continuing, he said: "There
will be a lot of my fellow citizens
who will make the same declaration.
Seattle may well be called the "Chi
cago of the Pacific," but, like the
windy city, she has outgrown her
opportunities."
The man who stated the above
came to Coos Bay on the last Break
water. His conversation indicated
Intimate knowledge with Pacific
coast conditions, from Vancouver Is
lands on the north to the great Cule
bra cut that seveu, tho apex of South
America. It would be an w-oellent
plan could a newspaper keep in touch
with tho men who are coming to
Coos Bay. But it would be a Horcu
loau task, and there would bo llttlo
space for aught else. It is a signifi
cant fact that tho majority of tho
new comers are investors; men in
quest of embryo Seattles and Taco
mas. They aro not dropping. their
capital except where they see future
returns.
The fact that this class of men is
not only coming in, but making heavy
investments as well Is conclusive evi
dence that Coos Bay is marl.ed for a
development equal to any in the past
history of tho Pacific coast.
POWER OF THE PRESS.
THE power of the American Press
is mighty. It will bo interest
ing to note the result of the present
campaign against Vice-President
Fairbanks who would enter the Presi
dential running for 1908. Collier's
Weekly is using tho muckrake rigor
ously on Indiana's son;! it is boring
down into the innermost recesses of
tho man's life. And as yet it has
brought nothing to the surface re
dounding to Falrbank's credit. What
effect will this have upon the people.
It is one of tho vagaries of human
naturo that calumny directed against
public men, sometimes has tho oppo
site effect from which it was intend
ed, and the attacks only serve to give
added impetus upward Instead of
downward.
THE stean.er Brea water on 1 er
first trip from Portlind to Coos
Bay carried a full passenger list tmd
all tl freig'U that could bo got
aboard. Tho steamer Alliance, which
pioneered tho trade on that route,
will sail tonight loaded to her ca
pacity. Tho rapidity with which
trade with tho Southern Oregon
coast has developed amply bears out
tho prediction that, if Portland
would go after tho Coos Bay trade,
sho could got it. No small sharo of
tho credit for this Important traffic
is duo Mr. F. P. Baumgartner, ot this
city, who wa3 doing effective mis
sionary work at Coos Bay for Port
land tradesmen long before many of
our merchants bolloved it possiblo
to divert tho trade to Portland.

A Few of the Things a
Reporter Sees
Some arc Conducive of Phil
osophy; Others Touch
Humorous Chord
Antiquarians may nose about in
tho ruins of Carthage, Tyre, Greece
and Syria, but a Times reporter
found as interesting material right
in Mar3hfield yesterday afternoon.
The building which Mr. Sengstacken
Is making over for a meat market
disgorged the greatest variety of
relics, truck and ancient fixtures ever
turned out of one building in the his- '
tory of Marshfleld.
Among the items were: ox bows,
wire cable, stove pipe, stoves, wire,
hay fork fixtures, old iron, stone
slabs, lanterns, fish nets, bedsteads,
blackboards, chairs, stools, cooking
utensils, oil cans, gasolene stoves,
gratings, kegs, barrels, a stuffed
hawk perched on a deer horn, empty
bottles, boats, cars, tinware, bedding,
wheelbarrows, circular saws, other
saws, tables, glue vat, nuts, bolls,
nails, and countless other things
without names.
It was said a few years ago that
Mr. Sengstacken could furnish any
article one could name and on short
notice. The story goes that the
statement caused a bet. Tho man
who doubted his ability thought for
several days and finally believed he
had a sticker. A request was made
for a church pulpit. That was about
the easiest thing imaginable, for Mr.
Sengstacken had recently purchased
a church in Empire nrd was able to
deliver the goods.
"Bob" Booth was busy mak'ig ex
planations je&torday from morning
to night. His friends discover' d him
with some store tai. shoes and
dressed as if on the way to some
swell function. Some believed a new
Gibson girl had arrived in town,
while others thought he was starting
for California. None guessed the
correct solution of the week day in
novation, and while the Time3 is not
going to tell tho cause, the high
shoes and working clothes have been
carefully laid away and will not be
resurrected except on special occa
sions, as picnics or hunting expedi
tions. Mr. J. W. Bennett was seen yes
terday and pumped for tho usual in
stallment of news which a reporter
demands daily. He belicvd there
was nothing to tell, out on second
.'bought, remembered having talked
lo a New York man n .w on tho bay
who is the advance representative of
o party of twentv-fojr New York
people who will arrive here at the
opening of the elk season. These

VICE-PRESIDENT HAS RUSY DAY
Seattle, July 12. Vice-President
Fairbanks was the center of attrac

vention today. The vice-president

1909 convention. Fairbanks tonight

NEW MEMBERS TAKEN IN
Mni-shflelil Chamber of Commerce
Will Correct Statements of J. X.
Xk'i- of Southern Pacific.
The Chamber of Commere meet
ing was called to order shortly after
eight o'clock last evening. A con
siderable portion of the members
were present and strangers and In
tel ested parties orought tho attend
ance up to a comfortably well filled
house.
President McCormac, in opening
the meeting, stated that there had
been no records kept of previous
meetings of the body, but minutes
would be recorded hereafter by tho
secretary, Mr. Walter Lyons, who
was present. He said it was the
sense of the body that some attempt
should be made to correct the im
pression which had been created on
the outside that the Chamber of
Commerce of Marshfleld was opposed
to the entrance of the Southern Pa
cific railroad on Coos Bay.
A letter prepared by the secretary
was then read to the assemblage
which it was intended should be for
warded to the Oregonian for publi-
i cation. Tne impression above men
tioned was created through the pub
lication in a late issue of the Oregon
ian of an interview with Mr. J. N.
Nier, right of way man for the
Southern Pacific in this territory.
Tne letter was a fair statement of
the position which the citizens of
Marshfleld, as well -as the Chamber
of Commerce, take towards the rail
road, or at least is so considered by
those who were present.
William .Grimes, who is taking a
deep interest in the affairs of Marsh
field, moved that tho letter bo ac
cepted and forwarded to the Orsgon
lau for publication as read. The m
tion was can-led.
The matter of payment of bills of
the organization was introduced and
the president asked for enlightment
as to whether the executive com
mittee was the legally constituted
body to act on bills. He was so in-
fnrmprl. hnr T K. . mitn. n mpmhnr '
of tho executive committee, moved
that the executive committee act as
an auditing committee and present
their acts to the regular weekly
meetings, on Friday evening, for ap
proval or rejection.
He explained that he desired that
all persons who had subscribed to
the publicity fund should have op
portunity to know what was being
done with the finances, and how they
were being expended. Anotner Item
embodied in Mr. Smith's motion was
that the secretary should present a
statement of expenditures to the
body once each month. The motion
passed as stated. The discussion on
the letter was re-opened and it was
moved a copy be sent to Chief En
gineer Hood, Superintendent O'Brien,
J. C. Millls, local superintendent,
and to Chief Engineer Boskn, of the
Oregon jurisdiction. This was ac
cepted and passed.
President McCormac here stated
that the hotel committee had made
no definite arrangements towards
building an hotel, but Mr. Grimes,
the chairman, was present and would
report. Mr. Grimes said the com

mittee had met Mr. Hcdwall, but had
reached no understanding with him.
Mr. Hcdwall, he explained wished to
know what tho citizens of Marshfleld
wished to do towards tho enterprise,
nnd tnero could be nothing done un
til the committee had further light
and information. However, matters
weie proceeding well, and several
sites were under consideration. Ono
which seems to meet with most favor
is on nn eminence and Is valued at
?17,000.
This property must be secured
without delay, since tho owner is
prenaring to erect other buildings on
the land, and will not be delayed in
his plans. He said the committee
will hold another meeting this fore
noon, and will bo able to make a
more definite statement to nny per
sons who care to interest themselves
respecting a new hotel. Mr. Grimes
had a set of plan; for a building So
feet square, tin eo stories, and these
were examined by a number of In
terested people before the meeting
was opened.
lie stated it as his opinion that
such an enterprise should be under
taken by local capital, since it would
prove a paying enterprise and Coos
Bay Gltizons would as woll reap any
rewards along his line ns some
stranger. Still, he -was not opposed
to strangers taking hold of tho mat
ter if they would act quickly. lie,
personally would give ?!i00 towards
securing the site, nnd when the sub
scriptions were open, would take two
or three thousand dollars worth of
stock, perhaps more. He was
roundly applauded upon closing. A
vote of thnnks was extended Sur
veyor Codding for a map of the Coos
Bay country, whicli he gave the
Chamber of Commerce.
The president here gave oppor
tunity for new members to join the
organization and after some little
discussion regarding the method of
admission, which was declared to be
simply the payment of tho fee of five
dollars and signing the roll, four
members were enrolled, as follows:
W. J. Rust, Henry Holm, F. W.
neador, and Frank Rummoll, Jr.
Several letters were read after
wards to dempnstrato the interest of
manufacturers in other parts of the
country are taking in Coos Bay. One
firm wishes to install a fibre bottle
plant in the Pacific Northwest and
desired to learn what inducements
