Much is said for and against this town and Its people, some of the re ports no doubt arc true, others are not. Yes, Myrtle Point Is tho garden spot of Coos county, a more perfect townslte Is hard to find: true wo aro not possessed of architectural struc tures, boulevards, a great bay, nor being the seat of tho county; we even acknowledge that our streets should be kept cleaner, but if wo examine what our business men are doing we find that In pronortlon to the popula tion we have a full share of tho trade. Let us sing our own praises. Here we have the Guenin Hotel. Mr. and wo have tho Guerln Hotel. Mr. and small way. Their Joviality, Industry, energy and good table kept the busi ness crowing, one enlargement of tho building followed the other ono and now they can say they have tho most complete hotel in the county. And not only this; from the floor to the roof, scrupulous cleanliness reigns. Luxurious rooms for wealthy patrons and more than comfortable rooms for other guests, combined with courteous treatment is their pass word. Since father George and Tom, the son, work together they form a perfect double team. In addition they have in operation a fine laun dry, waterworks, steam heating and many of the most modern improve ments. Come and see them and if you know of something better, they are not averse to accept good sug gestions. The new salesrooms of agriculture Implements, Mr. Louis Strong, Sr., as manager, Is doing better than the most sanguine expectations vouched for. In return, the farmers alert enough to invest in labor saving ma chinery, find it money well spent. With an Increase of money earned they aro very willing to pay the high est rate of road taxes and in addition to such voluntarily raise yearly con tribution to better county private roads. Ono of the best improved roads is tho Coqullle-Myrtlo Point road. Next to this, if not an equal. Is the road from tho former up the North Fork to Lee. This is a credit to tho farmers and supervisor. The people on tho East Fork have also done some improving. Tho road work on the Middle Fork and South Fork have not been neglected; the Catching Creek road leading to Langlols deserves credit. To accom plish perfect roads our solons In the legislature must stop allowing dodg ing of taxes by owners of large tracts of timber land, who do not care If the peoplo have roads or not. Now let us return to tho town. Our hardware stores show tho in crease of business, tno narness- makers. Mr. Pear's store Is filled up to the last inch and still new goods arrive. ' Our postofllco shows largo in creases from year to year. Bringing in dally mails and taking such away keeps the help moving day and part of the night. Among tho blacksmith shops, Mr. Charles Adams has no doubt tho larg est and best eaulDued shop of this kind. Mrs. Benson's banking house Is doing good business. It soon will have a competitor, Messrs. Flanagan & Bennett, who will soon bo ready to open another establishment of this kind. All this tends to Increase tho development of old and now business. When Coos Bay will be, as we all wish It to be, when steam and electric railroads compete with hundreds of steamers on your bay, on our river, carrying passengers and freight, when fortifications and hundreds of other enterprises largely Increase tho population of our county, then the value of this great and rich agricul ture community will be fully reveal ed to the world. Then wo will have to feed you all, and tho best of It Is, we can do It. ARTISTIC AND MECHANICAL DRAW! Designed Jmd I Cards General work for reproduction. OY E. LAIVHOItNE.
