Oregon. IRON IIOKSK TALK. Tho news columns contain some information which the people of Coos Bay may well consider serious ly. Whether the Drain road will be hero in a short time, or not so soon, is a question which It would be better for the people of North Bend and Marshfleld to lay on tho table. If it comes soon, well and good. If It comes sooner, well and better. But It is the complaint of all Oregon that the S. P. does nothing for this state until It has to. It is claimed on all sides that Oregon Is a sucker to be done to death by land thieves, tim ber barons, fish kings and Harriman. Yet those who know how rich and .fertile, how productive and dellghtfu, Oregon is from every point of view, understand why the Southern Pacific does not fear to hold this state out of use as long as it can, and how It hopes to occupy It as nearly exclu sively as possible. Oregon ha3 never had anything to expect from the Southern Pacific, and Coos Bay has no right to lose any hopes on It. Those who have been rdady to concede everything to that company for the sake of seeing the locomotive puff and the Southern Pa cific bluff in their district, are mis taken. You can't' get anything out of that company any more than you can out of a mule. It will do no good to give. Like the daughters of the horse leech, it will simply cry MORE. It will do no good to pet and flatter. It romalns obdurate and Toracious. It will do no good to criticise and demand. It merely smiles and asks "What are you going to do about it?"- T. P. B. D. which being translated into S. P. language as applied to Oregon means: "The Public Bo Damned." But let Coos Bay do something for itself. It is silly to keep proposing road's like tho Roseburg electric lino and! then let them fade away. Or- ganlzo a local company and get ready to build a practical line. Organlzo and get the rights of way. Organlzo 'and get a good active man to give his whole time and attention to promot ing it In connection with tho North western. Organize and pay a per centage of the capital stock In so that tho man employed to promote can keep alive and appear decently while 60 Is attending to his work. Organ ize! Tho trouble with tho proposi tions heretofore dumped Into this community Is, that they began with a Tory enthusiastic mob and they ended srhen the mob dispensed. This prop osition to do business with a view singlo to a connection with the North western transcontinental will bring tho Northwestern transcontinental within a very few months nnd con nect with tho N. W. system within two years. And it can bo done if a good active man of respectable ability and possessed of tho proper spirit is employed to push it nnd is given suf ficient scopo for his enterprise. If thoro nro not sufficient brains and money in Coos Bay and Roseburg to appreciate these suggestions then lot s pray that time will euro tho defect. HOW M'K GROW. When tho future of tho bays nnd accessible Inlots of tho Pacific coast are under consideration, it ia qulto common to hear old tlinors Bay that tho coast is slower In development than any part of tho American Union. But they do not reflect that over If this has seemed to bo so in tho past that all tho logic of tho situation in dicates that it is likely to bo tho swiftest development in tho future. Tho truth is plain enough that tho Coast ibccamo populous boforo Its ltfnie. Tho wavo of Improvement was wVawlv moving wostwnrd and had wxrciiy found an advanco post on tte JUVslsstnpl river whon, all of n sodden, a great jump was nvado, ovor 31. vast wilderness and desert, ovor fcamunisQ tracts of fertlo area, Tho Pacific coast was thus settlod up un sonsonably and It has beon compelled to wait until the great mass of hu manity came up to it. Now It Is here and the next few years will witness a growth and development which will stagger both Egypt and the Promised Land. Only eighty years ago tho frontier of America was east of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. The country beyond was so wild and impenetrable that only the most daring and adventur oils spirits cared to enter it. That was about 1827, and there are old men now living whose lives span the whole period. In 1847, twenty years later, Toledo, Ohio, was a remote frontier town, and Chicago was scarcely more than a collection of shanties around Fort Dearborn. St. Paul, Minneapolis, Omnha, Denver and the rest of those marvels of urban growth, had scarcely been thought of, , It is said that in that year Daniel Webster visited Toledo and was disrated at the town lot boom which'was going on there nt the time, while his friends were In trepIdatlQnt'l)ack east, lest the great man might lose lils scalp. In 18G7 Omaha ;Kanfnsi, City, Denver were wild towns and Leavenworth, Kansas, was about the only town west of the Mississippi rier which was of suf ficient importance to put on tho map. In 1887 tho frontier was practically gono and now there is no frontier. In other words the turn- of tho Pa cific coast has como and tho startling growth of Seattle, Portland,, Los An geles, Oakland and other cIties(Jnot to say San Francisco, which 'is' fast re viving, surpasses anything in Ameri can history, And Coos Bay will not escape. It is safe to bet or Invest on or In anything on the Pacific coast which Is like anything ever valued else where. This coast will have the densest population of any of the dis tricts west of the Atlantic coastal plain. This statement is not a prophesy but merely a logical con clusion. In the midst of all that the past proves, the present furnishes and the future promises, it is not necessary for Coos Bay to wait for the patronage of a great corporation to push it to the front or connect it with the outside world. She can not fall of success if she undertakes to do it herself. HRIDGIXG KAYS. Two incidents ofmarked Intere&t to the people who are Interested In the great harbor facilities of Coos Bay have recently been noted in the Times. The one was the destruction of the steamboat on the Mississippi river and the other on tho Columbia. The first case was where a strong wind carried the boat beyond the con trol of tho crew iind against the Eads bridge, damaging the boat seriously. Tho second was nearer home, where the steamer Norma with supplies for the North Bank on tho Upper Colum bia, was blown against the piers of the Alnsworth bridge, at the mouth of the Snako river and so badly dam aged that she will bo out of commis sion for four or flvo weeks. The im pact knocked off tho wheel, demol ished tho port cylinder timbers, and stripped off her railing from stem to stern. Theso occurrences are Just what may bo expected on Coos Bay if a bridge should bo thrown across at any point and particularly at tho place so often suggested by those who advocate a "railroad at any price." It should be plain enough that the strong breezo 'from the ocean which, in any seaport may stiffen into a gale, is pretty likely to affect naviga tion no matter how skillful tho skip per or master of tho ship may "bo. It would deter ship owners from mak ing his port. It would Increase marine Insurance. It would diminish the value of the entire bay and put It In a class which would render It contomptible to the eyes of congress and mako appropriations for dredg ing and Improving tho harbor im probable. It would bottlo up tho bay. Today Hot chicken at Davis & Davis".
