COOS BAY TIMES
MarshficM, Oregon.
THE COQUILLE VALLEY AND
COOS DAY.
The Bandon-Recorder has been
complaining that some of the Bay
Teal estate agents have endeavored
to persuade visitors and investors
who visit the Bay from going to Ban
don and Coquille. The Coqulllo
Sentinel also intimates' that it has
long been aware that such an atti
tude is taken by some of the Bay
real estate men. This is certainly a
surprise to us and we could hardly
credit It if the charge did not come
eo respectable a source. Why a Coos
Bay man should knock Bandon or
Coquille, or why a Coquille, Myrtle
Point or Bandon man should knock
Coos Bay is past the comprehension
of the Times. The development of
the country is needed for the ad
vancement of any one of the quar
tette of promising cities which lead
the van in Coos county. By "quar
tette" wo mean C003 Bay (embrac
ing Marshfleld, North Bend and Em
pire) Coquille, Bandon and Myrtle
Point. In our judgment It would
bo a magnifiicent stroke of com
munity genius, if thl3 quartette
would select one from each of its
commercial bodies to constitute a
advisory committee and proceed to
advertise the agricultural, timber,
mineral, coal and transpoitatlon ad
vantages of the entire county.
Every one of the quartette would re
ceive an advantage not to be over
estimated. Xaturally, Coos Bay, with her
Croat harbor bosslbllltles, her six
thousand population, her great local
enterprises and her rapidly widen
ing reputation, claims to be tho great
city of tho country and the metropolis
of Enthwe3tern Oregon. Will the
Bandon Recorder and the Coquille
Sentinel excuse us if we pause for a
moment and admire that appelltlon
"-Metropolis of Southwestern Oregon"
Itza just this minuto struck us and
wc are amazed that wo didn't think
of so good a thing before. But it la
very pleasant to realize it for it has
really become a fact, or would be
come one if the peninsular eltles
could get to tho front and unite
politically as they are united com
mercially. It sounds so good that
wo repeat it "METROPOLIS of
SOUTHWESTERN OREGON." And
in tho metropolis of Southwestern
Oregon wo do not believe thoro Is a
man who can bo considered above
the grade of an idiot who does not
Inow that "Bandon by tho Sea" is
tho greatest sea-sido resort in tho
state of Oregon. It is just what the
metropolis needs In Its vicinity. Tho
ireat ocean rolls up against its
nnlquo and picturesque beach and
3caves there as nowhero else its
marvels of sculpture. There tho
surf tumbles in subllmo beauty.
lhcro tho great ledges and boulders
stand out to bewilder tho imagina
tion. There tho sea shells Ho in pro
lusion to speak in mystic languago
of tho ocean deep. But Bandon its
elf has caught tho spirit of tho sea
and in tho bracing atmosphero of tho
trado winds, she hustles, and bustles
and nets, and there Is no more en
terprising and promising city nlong
tho coast.
Whoovcr heard of a real estato
agont in Coos Bay with as llttlo
hniln capacity as n codfish, and yet
If ahy agent of this metropolis evor
tried to bolittlo Coqulllo, it must bo
admitted that his brain capacity
is much less than that of a codfish.
Even n codfish couldn't do that. Tho
Coqulllo valloy Is tho garden spot of
Coos county. Coqulllo and Myrtlo
Point aro its two beautiful and actlro
market towns. The valloy of tho
Tvllo and the low lands of Holland
are not moro fertile. Broad and
IcsraHIfuI are tho bottoms which
jhavo tnado thoir farmers rich. Hot
ter fruit and vegetables aro not pro
dnewd unywhoro olso. Tho Coqulllo
Tfivr, up which tho tldo flows from
Ifandon to Myrtlo Point, past tho
ilstorlc and happy homes of Coqulllo
City, ebbs again from Myrtlo Point
through Coqulllo to Bandon, and
steamboats of on mean capacity
carry their products up and down.
The railroad, too, from Myrtle Point
through Coqulllo reaches Coos Bay
where the larger ships of the sea
sail In and out. Bandon is only
thirty miles from Coos Bay, Coqulllo
only twenty and Myrtlo Point only
twenty-six. Great is Bandon tho
Beautiful. Great are Coquille and
Myrtle Point and great Is Coos Bay.
Greater still are- they all destined to
be and rapidly will that greatness
develop If all unite and work in
fraternal harmony for one another.

"IT WILL HE BUILT."
At tho Chamber of Commerce
meeting last Friday evening Mr.
Grimes, of the hotel committee, said
that the committee would stay with
the hotel proposition until Marshfleld
had a hotel. Wo believe Mr. Grimes
will do what he says. We might say
It is none of our "funeral" whether
wo have a hotel or not, because thus
far we have managed to find shelter
and hope to continue to do so. But
the terrible absurdity of a city of
nearly 4,000 people, with the cer
tainty of getting 2,000 moro before
another year, being without a hotel
and shutting its eyes, so to speak, to
tho disgrace which It Is suffering
with the outside world, Is only ex
ceeded by the shocking blindness to
their own Interests on the part of
the citizens. Every day bright in
telligent traveling men visit Marsh-
field, and when they have to run all
over town wltH heavy grips to find a
place to sleep and then fail to get
accommodations, they go away de
nouncing the city. Do the Marsh
field people know that these men can
do It great harm? Do they know
that they are doing It? Is It not ab
surd to advertise the city and bring
people here only to send them away
discontented and ready to state the
reason why? The hoteU aro turning
away from twenty to forty poople
nearly every night and still It is
doubtful if the men who hold the
bulk of Marshfield's real estate in
their hopeful g-ip, care.
The worst of it is that hotels have
been in the air for a year at least, but
they never light. And here we are
right up against the time when the
colonist lates begin again. All over
the east the people have heard tho
call of Coos Bay and intend to take
the chance of 'low rates to come.
The report has gone out everywhere
that the great mills on Coos Bay are
soon to operate and that the for
ward movement of the seaport
toward greatness is begun. It is tho
best advertised of places and the peo
ple who have property here have a
great opportunity. The boats, and
the stages will be filled with visitors
and men who might be Investors If
they could eat and sleep right when
they come to town. There are men
In the city whose real e3tate holdings
aro large enough to make them mil-
lionairs, if they could be broad
enough to see that a few llttlo public
improvements are needed and put up
the cash to help supply them. But a
hotel of tho right size and kind
would not only mako people feel
good and enable them to get up in
the morning and see things right,
but it would be a paying investment.
Still there Is no hotel. Waiting for
some outsider to put It up: When an
outsider comes to Marshfleld to con
sider the hotel proposition, if, after a
sea voyage or a stage trip, he gets no
chance to eat or sleep, do you think
he is in a mood to see anything
good in Coos Bay? Doesn't it oc
cur to you that while real estato is
very cheap "In this sea port" that
tho visitor will think your prices high
at any figure if you treat him to in
somnia and glvo him a regular diet
of dyspepsia? Better quit talking
dredges, and harbors, and railroads,
and townlots, and water fronts until
you get a hotel.
Coos Bay Gravensteins. They nroj
known In tho market as Coos' Bay
Gravensteins. They came from Coos ,
Bay orchards over on tho Coqulllo
ana ai uiana una l,uukius uiubs uuu
even down in Curry" todnty. It does
not hurt tho apple to have the name
applied to ll which suggests the
greatest merit that a Gravenstein
apple can have. The Plant goes out I
of this harbor noxt trip with 5,000
boxes of C003 Bay Gravensteins and .
If you and yours will box up what's
left and send them hither, tuey will
pay well and find a ready market.

LABOR DAY.
Coos Bay will celebrate Labor Day
with parade anil speeches for the
first time In Its history tomorrow.
It has entered tho Industrial system
and will be hereafter a part of It.
It would be well for all who live on y
tho Bay to realize this fact, for to ' $
object and oppose or to murmur and J?
belittle is merely so milch waste of
time. Every other city of conse- &
quence In the United States has sub-'v
mitted to the new order as far as the '
joint demands of labor and capital j
have been able to assert it, and it is
a sign of metropolitan significance i
for Coos Bay to be In the lists of
those who celebrate on that day. '
Labor day will bo the occasion for
pageantry and sports not only In
Coos Bay, but In every city In the
United States. Thousands will be in
lino In New York, Boston, Chicago,
,San Francisco, and all other cities. Z
Every great shop will be represented
in the parades In the large cities and
the floats will not only display a
cordial sympathy on the part of the
employer, but will show the Interest
the employe has in advertising his
employer's business. The time is not
far distant when the same splendid
cordiality will bo evident in tho me
tropolis of Coos Bay.

COOS HAY FROM COQILLE.
Tho Coqulllo Sentlnal asks what
those Coos Bay Gravensteins are
which tho Coos Bay Times has been
mentioning frequently and it ex
presses a wonder, somewhat testily,
whether they .aro tho same kind that
have been rotting for years past
under tho trees around Coquille.
Yes, good friend, they aro tho same
Gravonstolns. Coqulllo and Myrtlo
Point and all tho country round
about them produco tho Coos Bay
Gravenstein and In former years
have dono exactly what tho orchard
ists around Coos Bay did, namely,
neglected tho orchards and let the
fruit waste. Then tho San Francisco
npplo buyer found Coos Bay and
camo sailing in. You can Imagine
his delight when ho discovered that
this apple which Coqulllo and Myrtlo
Point orchardlsts and the orchard
Ists In tho country round about and
In tho vicinity of tho Bay hnd allow
ed to waste under tho trees, was tho
fiucst of its kind In nil the world.
You did not know It but ho did. So
ho loaded up and wont sailing out
of Coos Bay and sold his wares to a
world which jumped up and down
with delight and seized them at a
big price per box. Ho called them
WHY DO PEOPLE BUY IN

than not resolves itself intp rank op
position to the revolting tradesmen
and all his claims, in the end. No
student of strikes will commend tho
policy as being infallible or even
reasonably successful.
What we need today, In place of t S$$S$$SS$S0$$$0$$$$$O!',-
tho hurtful and hateful strike, Is a
legal and authoritative court of arbi
trament, far removed from all con
flicting or contaminating Influences,
susceptible of tho respect and con
fidence of all men, to which shall be
duly submitted the Issues arising to
gether with all the testimony and
pleas and arguments, and whoso ver
dict shall bo as confirmatory and as
binding as any other judgment in
law of equity.
Tho composition of such a tribunal
may bo left to tho elective franchise
or may be reposed in tho cabinet, or
tho president or some commission in
which capital and labor aro uniform
ly and safely represented. The main
thing being that it shall be invlolablo
as to cause, preceduro and verdict;
otherwise it, tp will be a failure.
Tho need of excluding the goneral
public from tho losses and discom
forts and actual sacrifices that em-1
anato from the ordinary strike Is
among tho crying demands of tho
day; and tho sooner tho Industrial
brains and capitalistic brains of the
nation devise somo alternative such
as this tho better for all concerned
and unconcerned. I
