F.S DOWAent MARSHFIELD, : : : : OREGON J CROWDS FOR COOS BAY. The colonist rates, bringing thousands o'f neople from other states to see Ovcgcn. are now In force. If the railroad were completed and If there vf.re twenty steamships betwen Portland and this city, they might all be crowded. As it is the stages and boats will bring all they can carry and hundreds will be land ed at the water fronts of North Bend and Marshfleld. Exactly how they PUBLIC PARALYSIS. It was stated by a prominent citizen yesterday that a great cor poration which has large holdings in the vicinity felt dissatisfied with lho lack of enterprise on the part of Marshfleld peoplo more particu larly in the matter of a hotel, and might build a hotel of sufficient pro portions and accommodations on Its land near the city. As it is not in lho hotel business, it much prefers that the people of the city who will IlO ITlOHt lllrpntlv lmnnfittnri iln Mio jf building. "But," said the mnn re ferred to "if Marshfleld will get some action on itself and build, it will bo be3t for all concerned. If it will not do so hotel, stores, docks and whatever may bo needed to facilitate the growth of a city may be diverted to that locality." "You must understand" remarked another citizen "that the peoplo of Marshfleld are not in the hotel busi ness cither." "True, was the reply. "You did not have to say that. It Is evident. Rut thoy Iinvo pretended to bo in lho business of building a city and iho othor company havo not. Tho first Important tiling in building a city and booming real estnto is to build n hotel.

That may lio truo but they certainly havo mado largo promises and they havo no right to induce a lot of peoplo to In Test their money on the strength of Ihoso promises, and then "throw thorn down."

CALIFORNIA SAFE DEPOSIT AND TRUST COMPANY California and Montgomery Sts. SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA York City, on lower Broadway, the cemetery on Tremont street, Boston, and the church yard opposite, and those in the center of Philadelphia have attracted the attention of mil lions of passer-by. But, is it not strange that North Bend has not yet arranged for the disposal of Its dead in consecrated ground of its own? There are exten sive areas adjoining the city which might well be devoted to such a pur pose. Yet It must bo an inconveni ence and an additional and unnecesy sary expense to transport the dead from that city to Marshfleld. These mnttnra pro nf Kimh n rmtura that, it . - Is important to consider them, and itji wise to cdrtsider them as early In tho , ? development of a new city as possi ble. After 'a while, if tho Marsh fleld cemetery should be removed It will be necessary for North Bend to take the matter up and it may be much rriore Inconvenient than now. Yet, wo repeat, It is unusual and not a little remnrkable that a city of two thousand should find it necessary to compel its bereaved citizens to find a resting place for their lost ones ln an other city. Is it not wise to think about it and make a more appro priate arrangement now? Flexo Ready Roofing. Best made. Send for sample and prices.
