COOS IJAV'S CLAIM.
Jlr. Peter Loggle's idea that too
much can not be raid to the outside
world In regard to the value of C003
Bay as n coaling station, is one which
squares with common sense. It is
also true that every opportunity
ihould be seized to present Coos
Bay's adaptability to such a use,
through delegates to conventions of
national significance. Governments,
war and navy departments and mili
tary authorities do not concern them
selves In particular localities until
they have to and It has occurred a
thousand times out of a thousand
and one that governments, depart
ments and military authorities have
awakened too late. C003 Bay has a
location on the Pacific coast which
makes It extremely important as a
seaport, with or without coal, but In
view of the great coal resources, and
the fact that this coal can be loaded
on ships at the mine's mouth, that
Importance Is indreased many fold.
While there is no present probability
of hostilities there is no security
against them. Human nature is such
that men and nations will fight, and
it happens that coal is as important
In modern warfnra as explosives.
There Is no other coal along this
coast except at Puget Sound and if
a host'ile fleet should need fuel, C003
Bay is accessible to ships of sulTIcient
size to furnish a plentiful supply to
a fleet.
People here are not alarmed over
the chance of war or invasion, but
thoy know how vulneraolo Is the
coast if struck by a hostile power at
this point. It Is not claimed that the
coast could be invaded by such a
fleet, and yet when a railroadis com
pleted, as it soon will be, invasion of
both the Umpqua and Willamette
Vplleys could be easily enough effect
ed and Coos Bay coal, unprotected
and ignored by the government,
would play a very important part In
such Invasion. Mr. Loggle has boon
designated as a delegate to the Deep
Water convention at Memphis, and
If the Coos Bay cities are at all inter
ested in the proposition to make this
a coaling and naval station, his ex
penses should bo defrayed by the
citizens.
OX WITH TIII3 FLEKT.
Tiro discussion which has been go
ing on in regard to the new Pacific
fleet and its progress to the Pacific
kx& been. It seems, settled In the
jjspular mind by the decision that it
stall sail in December. It consists
of sixteen battleships and eight de
stroyers. The movement does not
Indicate war with Japan, but should
bo considered as a necessary one duo
to new conditions which have arisen
In Pacific waters as well as to in
ereaso of population and wealth on
tne Pnclfic coast of the United States.
Even If Japan had continued semi
barbaric, or had never risen to the
station of a naval power, or had
Hover fought a successful war with
v Russia, or had never had a desire to
regulate and discipline the San Fran
cisco school board, the fleet would
lave been necessary. This country
Jiad a population of about 70,000,
800 In 1S9S, but In 1007 It Is prob
able it has nearer 00,000,000 and a
sreat nation like this with nearly
3000 miles of sea coast on tho Pa
cific, exclusive of Alaska and the
Philippine islands, and Hawaii re
quires a licet to look after Its ln-
'. aorests.
No part of tho United States is
growing In population and wealth
iastor that tho Pacific Stntos. Wash
ington has more than doubled In pop
ulation In ton years. Oregon lias
.followed closely. Los Angolos, Oak
land, Seattle and Tnconia have treb
led and Portland has started on a
Krowth which is astonishing man
kind. Nor is there nny proballlity
that this growth will bo checked.
On tho contrary it Is accelerating Its
forward movement. Tho vast com
mercial Interests, which tiro rising
fnto prominences in tho Pacific and
tho necessity of conserving them, are
a sufficient justification of tho ad
ministration's action in sending this
fleet. Tho Pacific is tho future bat
llofifld. both in a naval and com
mercial sense, but tho presence of j
tho fleet will help to keep the tight
commercial tor years to como.
THE MAGIC CITY.
Tho United States Sleol corpora
tion will Invest $15,000,000 in tho
city of Gary. Tho city of Gary is lo
cated across Lako Michigan from
Chicago in Indiana anil la a creation
of tho great corporation which is
about to mnko the luvestmont men
tioned. It Is truly a magic city. Tho
.-at works to be thero operated, a
Arose part of which lmvo boon nl
ruutfy erected, will employ ninny
tlunwHind workmen, Tho city Is in
landed to accommodato a population
of 300,000 people. Work on this
xruut city which Is to spring into
Being with tho wnvo of capital's wand
Tvas begun two years ago. Tho nrld
xaud plain on which it is founded
has been converted Into a large city.
Its principal thoroughfare, Broad
way, has been substantially con
structed three miles long. For two
miles It Is paved and has concrete
sidewalks. It Is for that distance
lined with blocks ready for the
dealers. By October 1st this year
enough houses will be completed to
shelter 50,000 people. The modern
accommodations are all finished.
When the $45,000,000 arc invested
the corportlon's Investment entire
will be $120,000,000. This Is the
flr3t great city ever built in so short
a time. In the next national census
this arid sand plain, will figure un
der the name of the city of Gary as
one of the great cities of America In
population and wealth. Think of It,
300,000 people will do the bidding
of one great corporation, live in its
houses, work for Its upbuilding, sub
mit to its decrees and help to make
bllllonaries of millionaires. of
course it will be a model city. Pull
man was. But we can not help
thinking that If the A. O. U. W. or
the Independent Order of Odd Fel
lows or some other fraternal order
owned nil the stock In the corpora
tion and received all the dividends
that It would be working up to a
very pleasing ideal. Fraternalism
injected Into the business system
would make Gary a very wonderful
and no doubt a very acceptable municipality.
A TIMKTA ROAST. t
That wa3 in some ways a well
merited criticism which the apple
king, White, made on the dairy,
fruit and agricultural spirit of the
people of Oregon. According to
nearly all the old residents of Coos
Bay the criticism applies to this dis
trict as well. He pointed out the
absurdity that butter and eggs were
so high, when there ought to bo
plenty of both and it costs so little
to produce them in this state. He
paid his respects also to the fruit
growers and regarded It as very un
fortunate that so little attention had
been paid to the proper care of the
orchards. Oregon is one of the most
resourceful and productive states in
the Union and there is no excuse for
importing anything which can be
grown in tho state. Yet tho isolated
position of the state and of Coos Bay
also has caused the people to become
careless and to an extent indolent.
It is not in tho climate nor in the
nature of the Inhabitants and we be
lieve the latter are getting into ac
tion, now that opportunity is becom
ing apparent, it is certainly inex
plicable why a man who has three
hundred acres of fertile land on
which he is grazing forty or fifty
cows and who is making good profits
and ever getting rich selling the
milk, Should come to Marshfield and
buy all his potatoes at a price per
Dound. Why does ho not rai3e them
himself. Worse yet the potatoes
have been brought in, perhaps, from
Minnesota. Why, lor3 he go with
out fruit in a country so pnductlve
of apples and plums, and why are
these fruits so scarce in the Marsh
field market? Why are 0-533 and
butter high and chickens held at
prohibitive prices? Simply because
the Coos Bay farmer ha3 not really
anticipated the market which has
grown up within his reach and is in
clined to doubt its continuance be
cause he has cultivated the habit of
doubting. All that is needed now
is to throw all doubts to the winds
and go to work on the theory that
the progressive prosperity which af
fects the present day has come to
stay. It has.
