zx fr-T ."-.. 8 THE DAILY COOS BAY TIMES, MARSHFIELD, OREGON.SUNDAY, JULY 28, 1907. ', . I m W it I' If. :' CQOS BAY FROM THE ATLANTIC TO THE PACIFIC Worcester, Mass., Residenter Reads of Coos Bay and the De scription Inspires Poetry The Call of Coos Bay Is a pretty good slogan, and it seems as If Coos Bay has the call on the poetic fancy of people In various parts of the country. In other words, the nation has heard and will continue to hear the Call of Coos Bay. Have you heard the Call of Coos Bay? is a question which Is being asked in New England, as well as North Dakota and In Texas as well as in Canada. Mr. Lyons, secretary of the Marsh Hold Chamber of Commerce, has just received a letter of inquiry from Massachusetts, and the inquirer has quite an inspiration and drops into verse. He -has certainly heard the Call of Coos Bay. His verses are worth reading as a companion piece to the poem, "Coos Bay," written by Mr. Clarke, and the response which came from North Dakota, and are as follows: Worcester, Mass., July 14, 1907. Chamber of Commerce, Marshfield. Mr. Secretary: Will you send mo some literature about your city and tho bay. I have read a poem about It and an article In tho Pacific Month ly. I have learned a good deal about Portland, Long Beach and Los An geles, as well ns Seattle, but it seems to me you have the advantage of being betwixt and between those places and their climatic conditions, and I shall be pleased to learn more. There are a number of us with fami lies, all having some means, who ex pect to come to the coast before win ter begins to freeze us again. A good many people have been look ing up your place on tho map and It looks good. Please direct your mall to me at Boston, care of S. A. Fuller, Globe Building. I ran off a few verses on the typewriter about Coos Bay as they were suggested to me by the poem Coos Bay. If you can make any use of them you may. I expect to be out there next fall. Yours respectfully, ANDREW W.'CA'ULTON NEW ENGLAND TO COOS. A message comes from western seas, Its rythmic lines proclaiming A land of richness and of ease, And future greatness flaming. O'er mountain, forest, Held and plain Its flight far eastward winging, It carries music in its train, j The Call of Coos Bay singing. '& In old New England was I bom. My love to it is gifted; But still I wish that round Cape Horn The Pilgrim band had drifted; Then I their poor descendant proud, Could well increase their praises; You'd hear tho Call of Coos Bay, loud Sung to tho world's five races. Tho Yankee farm my father owns, '. Is pierced with many ledges; Its soil between the crowding stones, We cultivate with wjedges We spread with fertilizers deep, And labor without ceasing; Wo never play, wo never sleep, But debts go on increasing. And when I read your message fair, Of wondrous inlets sweeping, Whose winters never chill the air, Round happy tollers reaping; And when you toll mo roses bloom, Through every changing season, Tlion I can seo my Yankeo doom Has neither sense nor reason. I'll quit traditions, rocks nnd snow, And East winds wild and vicious; I love thorn ns old friends, you know, But they aro not nutritious; Your green hills whore tho cattle feed, Your forests and your fishes, Your orchards will supply my ueed, , And satisfy my wishes, 1 hear that songful messago still, Its chorus ever swelling; I hear tho fir tree's whispers fill The land with their foretelling; I know and feel tho day is near, To you its greatness bringing, For al around tho world I hear Tho Call of Cons Bay ringing. BOYS SUNTK.VCK1) TO JAIL. Wallace, Idaho, July 27. Fiitz Linney, Marry Jones, Etoln Blottl and Romo Albinola, four boys who aro charged with breaking into a car bo longing to tho O. R. & N.

THE MIDWAY PORT DEEP FAITH IN COOS BAY Recent Visitor Here Predicts Population of 30,000 In Three Years Time. TELLS OF THE RESOURCES Washington Man Also Ilctunis Home And Kxprcshes His Belief In Bay's Future Greatness. "Coos Bay Is a young men's re gion. Within three years it will have 25,000 or 30,000 people," de clared J. L. Bowman, of the Browns villo Woolen mills, who has Just re turned from a successful business trip on tho coast, In an interview with the Portland Journal. "At Marshfield the greatest lumber mill on tho coast is being built, five brick buildings aro going up, Uie town has a first-class daily newspaper, run by two of tho best young hustlers In the business." Mr. Bowman says there has been a wonderful change In the feeling of, Coos Bay people toward Portland. Where formerly It was all good will toward San Francisco and Illwill to Portland, the situation is reversed and Portland Is regarded as tho most advantageous center of trade rela tions. Tho people of Coos Bay have become convinced that Portland's at titude has been and is one of friend liness and fairness. The newspa pers, he says, of Portland and some of the business men have brought about tho change. "I have been going over to Coos Bay In tho lino of business and pleas ure for thirteen years and only In tho two years have I succeeded in getting any considerable business. I have this year sold a complete line of orders. For years I have been much interested in that region for There is a difference, methods of a modern up present day, and the old gone times.

Phone 1451. wmmmmmmmmmffummmmifmmmmmmm I married a Coos county girl and have numerous friends in that sec tion," Mr. Bowman said. "Coos Bay has great resources in coal, timber and agriculture. Every .farmer ha3 his gasoline launch. In one day I saw lined up at the Marsh field wharf GO gasoline boats in which farmers up the river had come to town to trade. There are 200 of these boats on tho waters tributary to the upper bay." A new hotel, which has long been needed at Marshfield, Is now being built, to cost ?C5,000. The site has been bought and Is being cleared. The building will be 80x100 feet and conatln 100 rooms. Bowman & Rogers aro about to erect in Marshfield a three story fire proof brick building planned by Travis & Wilson, architects, of this city. The building will be one of the first large brick structures on Coos Bay. It will cost about $40, 000 and will stand on a lot valued at $20,000. Tho building will be of Newberg pressed brick, shipped from Portland. It will be 50x100 feet and contain 3G offices and two or three storo rooms. At a recent meeting of the Marsh field Chamber of Commerce, C. A. Smith, of Minneapolis, made an ad dress in which he said that within a radius of 75 miles of Coos Bay there is more standing timber than has been sawed in Minneapolis by all the mills there since tho city was founded. Minneapolis nas been the world's center of the lumbering in dustry. Mr. Smith's new Marshfield mill now under construction will saw 700,000 feet every 24 hours, and will turn out finished lumber, furniture, shingles, sash and doors and other bl-products. Already tho construc tion payroll Is $1,000 a day. He said that he will ultimately move his entire Minneapolis business to Coos Bay, employing 6,000 men in his timber and lumbering industries. The ship channel on Coos Bay bar has just been measured by govern ment engineers and there is found 20 feet at low tide on the bar. A company has been formed at Marsh field to dredge a deep channel 800 feet wldo In tho upper bay, leading to Marshfield and the Smith mill plant. The silt will be used to fill a vast - to - date fashione rence, in the g store of the methods of by- everybody's favor porary assistance of and business pride equipped drug store. dirra dnfi tions s a specialty in which new lots back of Mashfleld. Mr. Smith Is building at Newport News a steam schooner 295 feet long, to be used as a lumber carrier. It will draw 18 feet when loaded and it i3 the purpose of the company to maintain a channel In the bay that will accommodate vessels of that draft." Bert Biesccker, cx-shcriff of Clark county. Wash., of which Vancouver Is the county seat, was In Marshfield a few days looking over the situation with a view of locating in the mer cantile business. Upon returning homo, tho Vancouver Columbian gives the following Interview with Mr. Biesecker: "I was down at Marshfield, Ore gon last week and I was very much impressed with tho hustle and tho home pride that the business men took in their town. One of the ronr chants took me around the place and took particular trouble to show all the advantages of the city and he certainly was an enthusiast. I tell you that It is men of this stamp that make a city, and from tho Indica tions down there they aro going to have one of the best on the Pacific coast. They have sites at a nominal cost, and some to give to thoso In dustries that wish to locate In that city. "They aro careful in giving these away but they are after all the In dustries that they can get, and they are getting some good ones. That is tho spirit we must have here If wo are to have a city and one of the big shipping points on the coast. Let me add also that we are going to have a city here and the time to get busy is right now. We need that canning factory and wo can get it if we will but make tho least effort. Think of the thousands and thous ands of dollars that It will put into the pockets of the farmers of this county. Let us get busy." First Cucumbers. Mr. P. Krall, of North Inlet, yesterday marketed the first Coos Bay cucumbers for this season. He raised them on his farm on North Inlet. jnmimnnminnnnminnnnmmmnnn$nmmnmnsin w iomethins That Will Appeal to Your Perse i Contemplating th S of a Talking Machine. 8 Edison Gem, complete with dozen records, (your own selection) Eastern catalogue house prices J A Saved by buying of W.
