has selected Coos Bay as a great
central point In the world's scheme
of transportation. The subject of
transportation should therefore be
constantly In the minds of Its peo
ple for they are the trustees of the
location.
The highest state of civilization is

Tho oxcellenco of tho bench lands
of Coos Bay and Its tributary country
Is perfectly apparont to any ono who
has seen the lands of tho Atlantic
coast and what they produce. It Is
astonishing that any should doubt
that Coos Bay bench lands nro
destined to bo very productive. But i
it Is no longor a matter of export-1
nient. Ono who vlows tho lino ox-1

Chamber of Commerce and finds that .

thoy will provo no better than tho j

and vegetables, at least. Thoro are
many who give overwhelming evi

clover and grass in as great abund
sneo ns tho bottoms. Thus far tho
farms havo been mostly on tho low
lands, but it is suspected that tho
principal reason for thnt was tho fnct
that it was unnecessary to clear
them. It was easy farming. To tho
(initiated lt seems probable that soil

in establishing effective toast de

been expended on the coast defenses
of the country, most of this sum
being used along tho Atlantic coast.
Something over ?50,"000,000 remains
to bo spent to comple'o the defenses
in accordance with the present plans.
This year Congress has appropriated
$1,624,000 for the continuance of tho
work. Of this sum, $150,000 has
been side aside for the construction
of a 14-Inch gun for the artificial ls
lnnd above referred to, $475,000 is
being expended for submarlno mines,
$125,000 for searchlights and $700,

Under the present system every
foot of navigable water In the harbor
Is covered by the powerful guns
which have been Installed In the
coast defenses. Every channel is
susceptible of being mined according
to plans already worked out, the
preliminary work, including the as

been so carefully done that every
harbor on tho Atlantic could be ef
fectively mined on 48 hours' notice.

I Tho determination to send the bat
tleships of the North Atlantic ileet to
the Pacific coast, whence, even in the
gravest emergency, they could not re
turn In less than two months, has led
to somennxlous inquiry regarding tho
bocuiity of the great cities along the
Atlantic In the posslblo event of at
tack from an enemy 'j lleet. Tho grave
anxiety which attended tho departure
ot tho Atlantic lleet tor tho Caribbean
In tho Spanish war, when It was fear
ed that a part of the Spanish navy
was on tho high seas bound for the
' North Atlantic, has not been forgot
ten, and there Is some disposition to
, question the wisdom of a move which
i might leave Boston, New York, Phil
adelphia, Washington, Charleston
I and other great centers "without pro
tection." Tho conditions are, however, radlc-
I ally different from those which ob
tained In 189S, and, according to the
military experts, the cities and har
bors of tho Atlantic coast would be
limply protected from capture or
bombardment by tho coast defenses,
which liavo been so extensively Im
proved in tho last ten years. Of
course, tho presence of a lleet along
tho Atlantic coast In tho time of war
would be essential to provent tho
landing of an invading army at points
not covered by tho coast defenses,
but tho harbors and the great cities
would bo entirely safe. Only ono
weak spot remains, and plans for its
protection havo been protected, al
though tho monoy necessary has not
been appropriated. Tho weak spot Is
the entrance to Chesapeako Bay,
which is out of range of tho great dis
appearing guns of Fort Monoro. In
tho opinion of tho National Coast
Dofonso Board, "with tho entranco
us it now is, unfortified, a hostile
lleet, should It gain control of tho sea
can establish, without coming under
tho Uro of a slnglo gun, a baso on its
shores, pass In and out at pleasuro,
havo access to largo stores of valu
able supplies of all kinds, nnd para
lyze tho great trunk lines of railways
crossing tho head of tho bay."
