STREET NAMES.
It is not the purpose of this article
to call attention to the lack of art,
uniformity and common sense In the
use of names, numbers or letters in
connection with the streets of Marsh
Held. No matter what system is used
sumebody is sure to arrive who
knows of a better system and thinks
the one which happens to be in effect
, Is very bad. Of course, nobody pre
tends that the names and letters of
local streets are even tolerable so far
as the old part of the town is con
cerned. Nobody doubts that they
will be changed when the city council
gets to it and everybody understands
that the sooner it is done the better it
will be, both for the credit of the
city and the convenience of citizens
who want to tell what street they are
on. It would be a wise idea to num
ber the streets too, but you can't ex
pect to do everything at once.
"When a stranger happons into a
city he feels the novelty and enjoys
It. If it is, in its noticeable non
essentials, unlike any other city he
oyer saw, the better he likes it and
tho greater his enjoyment. Some
cities, like some men, have no char
acteristics. They are weak and un
Jmpresslble. But there are cities
Which are strong in the historical,
c6mmerclal and psychological influ
ences they exert. The city which
illustrates or memorializes the names
of Its great men, Its commercially
Bubservioflt and tributary cities, or
colonies, or features of Its history,
leaves a lasting impression. For ex
ample, Chicago has the streets named
after tho Presidents, seriatim, and
tho streets named after the great
explorers whose names belong to Chi
cago history. Boston has the same
plan but a different set of explorers
arid historical characters. Minne
apolis has Hennepin and Nicollet
avenues and St. Paul has the names
or governors and generals of terri
tonal days in Minnesota. NewYork'si
strets are named largely, In tho old
part of the city, after old and famous
'New York characters.
,Coosbay ought to have a distin
guished and marked character and
thai should bo accentuated In tho
names of the streets. It Is a good
Suggestion that certain of the promi
nent features should contribute their
names to remind tho crowds which
aro to throng her streets, of the early
history and struggles of those who
have helped to get this region
through the experimental stage.
Thero ought o be a Bandon Street, a
Coqulllo Street, -a Fir Street, Myrtle
Street and Orford Street. Some of
these are now omployed, but tho sug
gestion is that whatever names at'o
given should show something more of
character and Ingenuity than more
numbers or letters can. Nor should
those who select tho names bo mere
Imitators. Broadway is a namo
which should not bo reproduced out
sldo of New York. This city is not
to boianothor Now York. It Is to be
tho only Coosbay and it Is by that
theory that all future action should
bo directed.
she had one railroad would give Port
land a run for its money in the met
ropolis line.
Why do not the Telegram and
Portland know that this region con
tains enough coal to supply the state
of Oregon with fuel for three hun
dred years? Why do they not know
that Coos Bay coal has been going to
San Francisco, four hundred miles
south and not to Portland only two
hundred miles north? Why does not
the metropolis realize that steam
ships plying between San Francisco
and this port have been supplied with
this coal for steam purposes for thirty
years? Why does not Portland wake
up and look around? Harriman has
found it. Harriman has acquired
some of it, and Harriman will pro
duce It, too; but whether it will go
to Portland or not, wo can not say.
Portland has no right to be ignorant
of thi3 great fact which the Telegram
Is unacquainted with. She has no
right to sit back and wait for a rail
road combine to buy up these lands
when her private capital should bo
placing colliers on tho ocean and
opening up the coal veins at this
place. Portland capital is In posses
sion of some of the land now, but the
spirit of old Portland is oppressive
enough and the lands are being held
out of use. It is to be honed that
new Portland will enlarge Its vision,
look beyond the Columbia and Wil
lamette valleys, penetrate with its
new energy all- parts of rich Ore
gon, and appreciate Coos Bay, the
richest part of Oregon. For there are
thousands of acres of good coal land
which can still ho got here.
APPLES 'AND APPLES.
Tho Chamber of Commerce meet
ing Friday evening had what may be
considered a continuation of tho good
work started bf the remarkable
speech of Hon. J. W. Snover on the
Coos Bay Gravensteln. Professor W.
D. Reedy's address, which appears in
another column of this Issue, is an
excellent presentation of one man's
experience with bench lands and the
cultivation of fruit on them. It Is
couched In the fine English for which
the professor is noted, and will prove
of great benefit to this section. The
Professor does not take issue with
Mr. Snover's design to make the
Gravensteln apple a specialty and
push It as the best the world can pro
duce. His mission was to call atten
tion to the fact that all other apples
thrive as well on Coos Bay bench
lands a3 at Hood River or elsewhere,
but that the Gravensteln thrives and
reaches a better state of excellence on
Coos Bay than enywhere else in the
world. The special value of such ad
dresses as (Mrj Snover's and Mr.
Reedy's, is that they show the marTof
small means where his fortune lies
,thls section. While he may not be
able to take ,up a lumber or coal
proposition,' ho can get a few acres of
land and live like a prince and be as
contented as a philosopher, If ho will
devote his attention to fruits. In this
connection it can not be amiss to re
peat what has been said before in this
department. Coos jJ3ay, bench lands
are cheap and tfertte.' They do not
have to bp irrigated. They ,are not
dependent, on railroad transportation
and the freedom of tho ocean high
ways is theirs. They are surrounded
by free fuel, have ample and pure!
fresh water, and their scenic beauty
Is Incomparable. The fruit raiser
need have but one slogan; "The Coos
Bay Gravensteln Forever." V
tho Southern Pacific railroad and its
great desire to bridge tho bay. po
not steep nor tire in regard to this
most important question, but fight
their plans to a final finish. The
Harriman line Is not the only pebble
hunting a location on your beach.
You would much better have an open
port and room for other roads than
concede all tho valuable water front
to one and exclude others. Therq
aro now others who are figuring upon
building a line from Salt Lake City to
Coos Bay and If you aro worth any
thing to Harriman, no doubt you will
be 'to others, and you may not be
compelled to pay for their line as
you are now asked to do. You are
the most independent country on
earth and if you don't see a railroad
for the next five years your city will
continue to grow and nothing but an
earthquake will call a halt.
That bay is your fortune and your
water front and timber are your most
valuable assets; and do not allow any
corporation to obstruct your progress
by bridging or obstructing it in any
way.
As time rolls by, only a few short
years, that peninsula will be covered
with a town called "Coos City." You
are bound to grow out there, so don't
let any condition place you In tight
pants, but keep your clothes so there
will be room for expansion for you
aro destined to need It.
We all like the good-will of every
person and corporation, but there
are times when they are not worth
the price. So guard well your own
Interest and put cash into your own
trousers, and do not worry about
Harriman, he will likely find cash to
pay his fine without the help of you
people out there.
Respectfully,
ROBERT JOHNSON.

, PORTLAND'S COAL.
Tho Portland Evening Telegram
contains tho following in its edltdrlal
columns: "If Mr. Hnrrlnmn's hired
man can find avallnblo coal In Oregon
and Mr. Hnrrimnn will arrange it so
that Oregon people can benefit by tho
Jind, well and good. They both shall
have our vote, bo it early and often."
This shows pretty well whnt Portlnnd
really- knows about Oregon. Tho
great and beautiful city which sits
liko a sweot morsel in tho mouth of
tho Willimotto, never did know much
outside of tho region immediately
trlhutnry to her. In that sho has
always fallen short of tho true metro
politan spirit. A great city should
go outside nnd find what it wants
and not wait for some Imporial rail
road magnate to graciously sond his
hlredjj man acress the continent to
tell fier Avhat oxlsts under nor very,
nMmwu&
THE COMPOSITE CORPORATION.
Tho discussion of ,Judge Landis'
decision fining the Standard Oil Com
pany of Indiana $29,240,000 still
continues with much confusion and
a great variety of speculation as to
what it means. It now transpires
that certain great railroad companies
which aro also under Indcltment for
rebating have united with tho con
victed corporation to fight tho gov
ernment's suits.. One can not help
believing thnt these enormous com
binations of capital which have been
corrupting legislatures and elections,
and influencing courts in ono way or
another, are already all of them
backed, managed and largely owned
by tho same set of criminals. In fact,
if n composite photograph of the
criminals who have used each of
these corporations to defraud the
peoplo and break the laws, should bo
taken In separato groups, It Js more
thnn probnblo that the strong face
of ono H. II. Rogers and tho peculiar
expression of ono John D.Rockofoller
would show through and characterize
each and nil of thorn. Theso men
have been for years making and un
making corporations and the chief
and dominating corporations In al
most every lino of Industry belong
to them. They aro practically tho
coal kings. They nro effectually the
copper kings. They aro nearly the
steel and Iron kings. They are, in
deed, kings of all American Industry
by grace of tho Standard Oil Com
pany, and that Is why they break tho
law with Impunity.

Poetic Pny-Ups.
The editor of the Sun, published at
Gait, Mo., seems to have hit upon the
solution of tho old problem how to
make subscribers pay up. The Sun
will print a poem accompanied by
subscription money. Tho result is
that even delinquents remit, as wit
ness tho following from the Sun's
columns: ,
To lubricate the journals
On which revolves the Sun,
Inclosed I send a dollar
To help to make It run
So smooth that not a wobble
Or squeak of any kind
Its Joints will make in motion
Because I am behind.
Think of the editor of the Pawpaw,
Gazette opening a letter containing
paper money and this:
The old Gazette I've read for years
(May Heaven long defend it), '
.And though I've long been In arrears,
You have not ceased to send it.
It Is my purpose to reward
The man that never hollers,
I've not been fair with you;
And credit twenty dollars.
Or why shouldn't the editor of the
Blllville Bazoo and his regenerated
reader be equally happy over one like
this:
For lo, these many moons ahd suns
So please print this one by the bard
I've read your paper, and yiur duns
Have all gone up tho flue.
But I pay up to date today,
v" And paTdon-for the Iaps6 '" '
Please print the, podm right away
And sign my name In caps.

V f . Ji .-
'AS TO ADVERTISING
The advertiser who' orders out his
announcements in July and August
under the impression that those are
stagnant months fn which ho can
safely retrench is usually tho 'one
who advertises hy a scheme Instead
of a plan.
Advertising hy a scheme is choos
ing mediums haphazard, oelng mov
ed chiefly hy the eloquence of solici
tors Instead of nlaclng business ac
cording to information secured by
Investigation. Advertising by a
scheme means taking fliers of one to
three Insertions and then wondering
where tho results are. For an ad
vertiser of this sort ever to see the
utility of keeping up his publicity
through the summer months, when
sales are perhaps light, is like ask
ing him to see through a millstone.
Tho ndvortlser by a plan, however,
Is more than an advertiser. Ho Is
a distributer, and advertising of ev
ery sort means to him reaching so
many people so many times, a yaer
In such and such mediums. He
counts on winning over a certain
proportion each month and, whether
a national advertiser in magazines or
a local ono In newspapers, knows
that his certain proportion of read
ers aro going to ho converted just as
easily in July and August as in No
vember and December. Ho has his
mind set not on what ono ad. will
produce, hut the legltlmnto return
of results duo him month after
month through cumulative effect.
