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.
