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

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. You will say that
Mnrshllold people are simply honest
Iradesmen who aro not in tho city
building business either. 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." I don't say they havo
thrown them down, but they havn't
made any progress in a public way.

Enufes etabllshed. No fire limit. I
Xo park improvements. No hotel. '
No library. No street railroad. No

deal of this neglect might bo excused
if you had a good hotel."
Tho gontlemon was right. Tho

It has. Now York is famous for its
t. Regis, Waldorf-Astoria, Hoffman
xnd Astor houses. San Francisco

Louis Is known as tho location as tho

Portland has extondod Its reputation
through tho Portland liotol. But

It is easy onough to build tho

it is selected, build it. First of all,

One thing Marshfleld has a right to

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?
