Oregon. acMKsss: THE CITY OK COOS. Tho world beyond tho Cascades Is in the habit of crlling this place Coos. They say "Ovor-.tn Coos," not ovor In Coos Hay. That consolida tion of the peninsular cities is a mat ter of the near future Is plain enough to all citizens of Coos and when the consolidation cornea, the question of a fitting namo is ically a very im portant one. Shakespeare says, "A rose by any name wll smell as sweet." In the same way a great man will by Ills supreme genius make a name which sounds ridiculous when first pronounced, very impressive at last, Just as Shak-hls-speare, descendant of some naked savage on tho banks of the Thames, did. The city of Coos can become a very famous one and the genius will make it so. Then it will' own all things else around it. The people vill say, "We ore going to Coos." "Over in Coos." "Tho merchants of Coos." Coos will claim the bay, for It is Coos' Bay. Ccos will claim the river for it i3 Coos' river. C003 will own the head which juts into the sen for It Is Coos' Head. It will Up all generis, because its name i3 only of one syllable and four letters and it does not copy the name or ttjle of any other city. There is, 'tis true mention of another Coos In the Bible (See acts 21-1) but the theologians, unmindful that the true location of Paradise is here pro nounce It Co-os, making it two syll ables. But our City of Coos is not a river, or a bay, or n head. It is the city of Coos with a decided em phal3 on THE. All the othoi' Coos's arn merely rays, some big and some llttlj, all shining from one center. The word Coos was not adopted from the bible. It has only appeared on the map la two other places one as shown b ytho Biblical allusion and onr on tho map of New Hampshire, wluc there ls a C003 county. It's derivation Ij not definitely known but tho New Hampshire word is In dian and means, "A place of Pines." No d ubt fir and spruce wore as sug geUlvo as pines. But there is no ovideuce that the first settlers knev, of Coos county, New Hampshire, the Indi.n namo or bibllcpl town Co-os. Thct' i-. a suggestion that the In dians of a remote date and who have lon-r since disappeared who oc cupiel I'd) district were calle.1 Koos or IOosan.", but the authority for the suggestion Is not very marked At any rate, tho people of tho City of Coos would be known aa Coosians which would bo nuito euphonious. RIVKBS AND HARBORS. The engineer corps of the war de partment at present is busying itself with plans for the deepening of a portion of New York harbor to ad mit of tho entrance of tho moustor quadruplex screw turbine steamship Louisiana on its initial trip across tho Atlantic next mouth. Tho en gineer In charge of tho work has re ported that It will bo impossible to conipleto the work on the Ambrose channel, which is the original course of tho Hudson liver in time, but that the center of tho channel will ho marked with buojs and reserved for the- anchorage of tho big levia than, and tho work will bo pushed with all possiblo dispatch. Although tho government had ample notice of tlte necessary Improvements to the harbor, tho fact that today tho work only Is half completed goe3 to show tno letnarfiy wun which tins sort or betterments have been undertaken by the United Sattes. Only last Fri day one of tho big Hamburg-American steamships ran aground whllo entering Now York harbor, and it Is a. much smaller boat than tho Louis iana. However, it is bollovod here that tho nation now is fully awnko to the importance of keeping its rivers and hnrboits In tho best possi ble condition, not only for iho stimu lation of tho over-Iuci easing coin lnurco of the country but also to ro lievo tho railroads of a freight trafilc which long since has eclipsed their ability to handlo it. Tho National IUvors and Hnrhors Congress has been working steadily for six years to bring homo to congress and tho Amorlcan peoplo tho necessity for this work, and its efforts already have borne fruit. Tho organization roallzes, howovor, tho need for sus taining tho present wldosp'-ead inter eat In tho pioblom of water trans portation, and thereforo is bending all its offorts to tho recruiting of a larger membership so 113 to Insuro greater succoss with tho incoming congress. Exchange HOW TO HARTE.V IIAUItOlt IM- -nrarEi kxts. "Tho only thing neodful to lnduco the govenimont of tho United States to linprovo tho harbor on u largo scale is to show thnt tho population is BUi!l;Iont nnd tho volume of busl nees largo onough to warrant It. Tho tiling for tho pooplo of Coos Bay to Ja la to keep up their offorts In that duvUio. but to mako their greatest exertions in tho direction of getting people to come here and to go into business. Every possible encourage ment should bo extended to those who come here to locate and do some business which will be a credit to this community. Moro particularly the attention of the outside world should bo directed to the value of our agricultural lands. Then the business of the Chambers of Com merce is to attend with jealous care to every detail which enters into the building up of a center of com merce at Marshfield and North Bend. All timber, lumber, fruit, agricul tural products, dairy products, coal and manufactured goods, produced In this county and tributary country should be handled first and directly by tho two cities. Commission houses should be Coos Bay commis sion houce3 and the market should be made an Independent one no soon as possible. Such a policy will do more to build up and make business here than anything else and this will Increase the showing which will com pel tho government to sit up and take notice of tho needs of Coos Hay s harbor. TIIK BOSTON IDEALS. The Times has very vivid recol lection of a recent session of tho Ore gon legislature when a certain bill calculated to bring the Southern Ore gon company to let go some of its extensive holdings was put to 3lecp. It remembers the refrain of a sweet lullaby sung by one of the Boston Ideal company which has held the boards In the Coos Bay country for some years, and has held the inhabitants spell-bound as long. It runs: "Empire has a saw mill; Stop your Fuz. Then you'll see that I will, . Make It Buz." So tho legislature put the law to 3leop. No doubt many peoplo be lieved that dear old Elijah Smith and his benignant brother Prosper would start up the saw mill a,s they do every year for a short time. No doubt some who have acquired a habit of waiting on this great and good philanthropist, who has been keeping a forest reserve on this pen insula for lo these many years, are still as confident of tho good pur poses of this Boston Ideal Smith family as ever. And the next legis lature will doubtless see tho same old bill offered In the same old way, and the same old Elijah come to the front with tho same old smllei?) and promise, and the same old lulla by sung to the same old tune, while tho people are put to. sleep again by the same old game.
