Oregon. W Til 13 QUK&riOX MARK. HEN one looks at the map of Coos Bay lie can not but bo impressed by the fact that it has the shape of a question mark. And such a question mark, suggesting groat answers, but all of them af fecting one thing only and that, Trannportation. There is i cully no other question no other answer. Raihoads and boats are tho solu tion. If only we could get them out of the air and onto the ground and J Into tho watei tho question would J bo answered. Wo could then use all our wonderfully lertlle land; ship our unlimited timber; transpoit our I abundant coal; bring in the thous ands who could enjoy our superior climate, our fascinating scenery and our varied and exciting sports. j There are constantly recurring re- ' ports and rumors that tho whole problem "Involved In tho question mark will be solved soon. The Drain road is being actively built down to the Umpqun. That, at least, wo are sure of. The Chicago & Northwestern surveyors are now in Malhem county in eastern Oregon on tho direct route through southern Oregon to Coos Bay. Tho Southern Pacific peo ple, understanding that the North western Is likely to invade this terri tory are again activo in the Des chuttes valley and in the vicinity of Prlneville and Bend. It Is well known that the O. R. & N. Co. is proposing to extpnd its lino from Vale in eastern Oregon, across cen tral Oregon to Natron In the Wil lamette 'valley "and "thnt this will mako. the Drain road to Coos Bay practically a transcontinental line. Theie Is Httlo or no doubt that thlci is designed to meet the advance of .tho Northwestern Into this territory. But It does not follow that tho North western will come to Coos Bay and the people of this section should be gin now to arrange to bring it here. It Is much to bo hoped that the Coos Bay-Roseburg electric road will bo pushed forward. In view of the fact that so ninny railroads are pointing this way, which mny not arrive hero but may veer off to. tho north and reach Portland or somo other less promising coast point than C003 Bay, this Roseburg road should not bo neglected. If diligently pushed by tho citizens of this local ity, it may well bo a whip to force or an arm to embrace, somo one of the roads pointing this way. If dropped, it will simply add one moro proof that Coos Bay peoplo roly too much on nature to llx real estate prices, and too little on the ptom ises by which they have bolstered those prices to present figures. Ono thing is certain if Coos Bay peoplo are not alort to answor this question which tho shape of Coos Bay puts up to thorn tho niiBWor may bo against nnd not for tho hopes of this city. THOSE RESOLUTIONS. THE resolutions adopted by tho Chamber of Commerce at their meeting Friday present In a nutshell the most lmportnnt of Coos Bay's natural resources and at tho same time show, in a very practical way, the great utility of Coos Bay coal. Coal Coos Bay has, and plenty of It. It is a superior quality of lignite, and is a very good steam coal. This fact Is shown by the use to which It has been put on tho Breakwater, the Plant and other steamships plying between Coos Bay and coast points. The local steamboats have for years operated their engines through the power j produced ".by burning Coos Bay coal. 'Is It, then, to bo-coitaid-ored grange that Coos 'Pay-jneople, Who hav4 no const defenses within two, hundred mjlcs of this important resources, recognize tho fact that a hostllp force could mako this port and its resouicos very powerful In struments through which to destroy or cripple American Interests In the Pacific? Whether war' with Japan is or is not likely, this port and Its war material coal should bo pro tected against possible seizure in Tiny future war. Hostilities between na tions break out suddenly nearly al ways, and ono of the nations usually the undesigning one is al most always found unprepared. In case of sudden hostilities between this and sonic Asiatic country, this port and its coal, which ought to be the strongest point of the coast line, would imss Into the hands of the cnomy without a blow. They should bo protected. BUT DOES IT? (Pendleton Tribune.) The Tribune Is strongly In favor of the renominntton of President Roose velt, but recently said that, notwith standing that fact, Mr. Fairbanks would "make a good president." As to this the Portland Journal sa'3 "The Tribune is mistaken." Well, that do settlo It. PRETTY GOOD PHIIiOSOPIIV. (Myrtle Creek Mall.) If you aro a kicker and sue the shadow of failure In everything that Is proposed to help the town, for heaven's sake go Into some secluded canyon and Kick your own shadow, alid .thus gijo the men who aro working to build up tho town a chance , One longfaced, h'ollow cyod, whining kicker 'can-do more to keep away business and capital from a town than all the drouths, short crqps, chinch bugs, and blizzards combined. cyclones PERSONAL NOTES IX THE DAYS OF YORE. (Baker Demociat.) Fitty-one years ago yesterday the battle ot tho Grande Rondo was fought, an interesting story of which is pi inted in the Democrat this morn i'lg it was in the days when the red skin held full sway In Eastern Ore gon and tho battle iecorded was fought on the plans of La Grande. THAT ICEBERG THEORY. (Dalles Chronicle.) "Who started that iceberg story, with reference to Vice-President Fair banks?" asks tho La Grande Obser ver and then It goes on to say: "No man could speak with a warmer heart than he did last evening at the depot. There may be some method among tho powers that parade these "refrigerator" stories and the cock tall story as well. Vice-President Fairbanks has been one of tho lead ing statesmen of tho country for a number of years, and if the presi dential mantle should fall upon him there would bo a well-trained man at tho head of ono of tho most pro gressive and activo nations of the presont age." THE lilCIvlXG WOULD COST. (Portland Journal.) A Detroit stargazer predicts that In five years the United States will bo nt war with the whole world, which this country will lick. Now will our Jingoes and would-be heroes bo satisfied? YES IT WOULD. (Eugene Register.) If kissing is a fad, It is a mighty popular ono and tho effort to Osler Ized old maids and bachelors to side track it with tho microbe theory will bo an Ignominious failure. THE EMOCRATS AMBITION. (Albany Democrat.) It has always boon the ambition of the Domocrat to cast an influence for not only the progress of Albany, but for the betterment of its peoplo and its society, and acknowledges n gen eral expression of appreciation from pJbplo who Hko that kind of a paper, as woll as from those who enjoy a nowsy paper that tolls things to the point, in a reliablo way.
