AX IMPORTANT MATTI3II.
President Roosevelt designs to go
down the Mississippi to Memphis
with the Inland Waterways Commis-
present and will explain that ho is
anxious today to promote another
series of races for the cup. He would
have to build a ninety foot boat un
der the now American rules. He is
so desirous of arranging for another
contest that ho said to a correspond
ent of the Associated Press today that
he really believed after all he will
challenge under the old rules If he
could get a designer of note to build
a bout for him. He was afraid,
however, that It was impossible to
get any man whose boat would have
any chance of winning to do the work
as all those he has spoken to took the
The Steamer
OXK CITV AX1) PORT.
The aatorney who has been exam
ining the law of this state for the
joint committee of the Chambers of
Commerce of North Bend and Marsh
Jiold, is preparing an opinion as the
result of his Investigations. He
states that the recent decision of the
supreme court of this state In the
Port of Columbia case, Instead of
being a blow to the hopes of Coos
Bay, is really one of the most -favorable
statements of the. law that
could bo desired. lie finds that the
otily way to organize the Port of
Coos Bay, on the plan of the Port of
Portland, would be to go to all the
people of the state and ask them to
enact such a measure under the Ini
tiative and referendum or to have
tho next legislature enact a general
law authorizing the creation of
ports.
Both dt the methods suggested
would, ho believes, be altogether un
necessary, for the people of the C003
Bay district, have all the power nec
essary to give them tho sstom by
which they can accomplish all that
could bo-accomplished by a port or
a port commission. Tho initiative
and roferdum amendment to tho con
stitution makes this district a law
unto itself. There is nothing to
prevent the cities of 'North Bend,
Empire and Marshfleld from consoli
dating as one city and as such city
irom exercising, not only the ordi
nary municipal powers, but also the
powers of a port. Tho new city of
Coosbay could then Issue bonds for
tho purpose of raising money to Im
prove tho harbor and would raise
iho money to pay principal or Inter
est of theso bonds by taxation. The
municipal government of the new
city could appoint a harbor commis
sion whoso duties would bo fully do
lined by tho municipal charter.
Tliero is not tho slightest rea
son why tho different cities should
disturb themselves over tho postof
ileo question. Each can retain Its
own postofflco. Each can retain Its
own school house and bo a school dis
trict. Euch can have a district
board to look after Its separate in
terests just as the flvo boroughs of
Greater Now York do.
ks Tho consolidation of tho several
dities and the absorption of some
fifty squaro miles of area contigu
ous to tho bay would bo entirely
-within tho constitutional powers of
this district and would bo a master
Btroko of policy on tho part of its
inhabitants. Tlioro is no other prac
tical and efficient method' by which
theso people who aro horo on Coos
liny solely becaubo Coos Bay Is a
great harbor, can get control of that
Iwirhor and work out Its splendid
destiny. It Is an extremely slmplo
method which fortune ha3 placed
-within tho grasp of tho people. Tho
objections to consolidation on tho
plan montloned, whereby tho several
cities retain their own names ns dis
tricts, tholr own district govern
ment, their own power of local im
provements through district boards
or commissions, but delegnto the gon
cral power to tho government of tho
city of Coosbay, aro vory Insignifi
cant. Tho fact that tho conveniences
or travel botweon tho cities aio con
lined to tho water, makes tho argu
ment for municipal consolidation all
the stronger. It is proposed because
all parts of tho bay aro necessary to
one anothor and because- it Is tho
duty of tiro peoplo to treat all parts
as oiio great whole. Marshfiold,
Xorth Bond aud Einplro should act
together for tho benoflt of tho bay.
These threo should have control of
tho wholo harbor and Its Inlets up
to a tvitaln distance They should
lave control of tho east bUIo of tho
lay us woll as tho west. They
should control tho sand spit and tho
tldo flats. Thoy should together po
lice tho harbor and provont obstruc
tions to navigation on Coos River and
lathmus Inlet alike. So Importantl
man in public life on tho subject of
rivers and harbors. Before going
down the Mississippi with the presi
dent the commission Intends to come
to the Pacific coast. Perhaps it
would be well for the Marshfleld
Chamber of Commerce to confer
with this commission and if possible
Induce them to come to Coos Bay.
Tho members of It are given by the
Pacific Monthly, as follows: Hon.
Theodore E. Burton of Cleveland,
Ohio; V. J. McGee, Smithsonian In
stltlte; General Alexander McKen
zie, chief of engineers, U. S. A.;
Senators' Newlands of Nevada ; War
ner of Missouri; Bankhead of Ala
bama; F. II. Newell, director of the
reclamation service; GIford Plnchot,
forester, forest reserve, and Herbert
Knox Smith, commissioner of corpo
rations, department of commerce and
labor.
If the Chamber of Commerce could
induce this commission to come to
Coos Bay and look over the harbor
and Its Inlets, great results would
bo achieved. The coming congress
will take up the question of rivers
and harbors and will pay considera
ble attention to Pacific ports. Pos
sibly there never was a more Import
ant time than now for Coos 'Bay
people to get ready to ask that some
thing be done for this locality. Cer
tain It is that this coast will be
more vividly In the limelight of con
gressional discussion than ever be
foro and It would bo a disgrace If
the name of Coos Bay should not
oven bo mentioned.

He is regarded as the best informed gene late last evening, after attend
ing several meetings of the citizens
there and ho found a progressive
spirit in tho University town that
surprised him.
"Just think, they have more hard

besides this, they have contracts let
for nearly double as much more.

and equipped with me most modern

heavy Increase in population, and
this money Is nearly all pledged al

riman system were with us on the
trip and propose to erect a new and
modern depot in the near future.
The citizens have gone to work and
had the present depot grounds
cleaned up and made presentable, as
a prelude to tho new improvements,
and everybody seems to be inbued
with the spirit of enterprise that
will surely result In Eugene being
the best advertised city of its size in
tho Northwest.
"The state university is kept in
good condition, considering the mea

entitled to a more liberal appropria
