VIEWS OF CONSOLIDATION.
The deep Interest which the people
of Oregon and other states feel in
Coos Bay is evidenced by the fact
that many exchanges which come to
the Times ofltce, comment on the
porposltion to consolidate the bay
cities as one, which is very wise and
full of importance. They particularly
emphislze the application of the
eternal principle that "In union there
is strength." It appears, too, that
the very suggestion of consolidation
of Coos Bay cities is sufficient to at
tract attention. Already it has given
given the bay considerable valuable
advertising. If the mere suggestion
will do so much what would be the
effect of actual consolidation? What
if it should become known that Coos
Bay people were big enough, ener
getic enough and wise enough to
throw aside all the littleness of small
isolated villages and announce to the
world that they propose to unite for
the purpose of making a big harbor
of Coos Bay and giving Coos Bay a
chance to make a big city of the com
munity on its shores?
The truth is that the people are
favorable, both in North Bend and
Marshfleld, of making a big harbor
here. They are here for that pur
pose. Wo do not believe there is any
man or woman who really under
stands the situation who does not
think that every part of the terri
tory which embraces the -oay woulo.
be greatly benefited by the improve
ment of any part of the bay. Some
objections have been heard, it is true,
but all are easily answered. The
view that each town is jealous of its
Individuality is answered that while
such jealously Is a delusion and a
snare, yet It Is misplaced, because the
plan of union is to reorganize eacn
city as a borough and all the
boroughs as a city. The Example is
Greater New York. Coos Bay cannot
afford to adopt the borough &ystem of
King John's time or of James I, or
of Minnesota, or Pennsylvania, or any
other state, but that of the world
metropolis, New York. Brooklyn is
a borough and yet It has over a mil
lion people. Manhattan Is a borough
with nearly two million. Yet these
fivo boroughs voted themselves to
gether as one city and voted them
selves apart as five boroughs.
Another objection which an enter
prising student offered was that it
was unjust to tax the farmers on the
east sido of tho bay. Where are the
farmers on tho east side of the bay?
If the gentleman who made the ob
jection would Investigate ho would
find the following situation: Bay
City Is platted on Isthmus Inlet up
to the line of East Marshfleld. East
Marshfleld Is platted up to Catching
Inlot. Then comes Mlllicoma which
is platted up to Blanco. Blanco is
platted up to Crawford Point. Craw
ford Point Is platted up to Coos Bay
City. Coos Buy City is platted up. to
Kentuck Inlet. Across Kentuck Inlet
begins Glasgow, which is platted tip
to North Inlet. Across North Inlet is
North Port, which runs Into the sand
spit. Tho farmers who may be men
tioned as owners of tho East Side are
somewhat as follows: Messrs. Dev
ers and Nasburg, accredited to
Blanco, cultivate the soil In the
Lochart building, Marshfleld. Mes
srs. Douglas, Sengstackon, etc., ac
credited to East Marshfleld, cultivate
tho soil in law and real estate offices.
Tho owners of Crawford Point are
farmers who ptactlce low, medicine,
real estate, etc., in Uosobitrg. We
believe that North Port Is cultivated
hy Mr. Schaffor, who resides in Port
land and plows along through tho
streets of tho Hoso City, in the faith
that ho will raise a fine wutor front
on Coos Bay. As for Glasgow, tho
farmers who raise crops there, do It
by long distance telephone from tho
oillco of a great Trust company In
Portland. Lot us not 1)3 hard on tho
fanners.
But says tho same gentleman, let
Empire bo taxed to open tho chau
nol to tho sea Let North Bend help
Empire, but In addition bear an ad
ditional tax to open tho channel
from Porter to Empire. Then lot
Murshllold open up tho channel from
Isthmus Inlot to Porter nil alone
and pay a part of tho taxes of North
Bond and Empire. Does not tho gon
tlomun know that tho wholo tidal
urea Is necessary to tho greatness of
Mnrshileld, North Bond and Empire
onunlly? Ho should understand that
tho tide rolls into tho inner uny umi
spreads out from live to seven feet
deep and thaty becauso of tho expan
elvo area tho quantity is far greater
than would movo In ono little nnr
row ehnnuol. When this wldo spread
Hood goes out it is so largo in quan
tity that it pours through tho nar
rower channol of tho lower bay and
keeps it deop. Us force Is Increased
with Its quantity aud narrowed by
two Jetties on the bar its power is
sufficient to scour out the bar. If
it were not for this volume of water
opposite North Bend and Marshfleld
and the force which It gathers when
It passes Empire, the harbor oppo
slto Empire would soon become a
beach and the bar a sand pit. There
would be no harbor. it should
therefore appear plain that all parts
of Coos Bay are necessary to all other
parts. If the bay south of North
Bend should become a mud flat,
North Bend would soon suffer tho
same fate. Isthmus, Catching and
Coal Bank Inlets are all necessary to
Marshfleld, North Bend and Empire.
Of course all mariners and gersons
who have knowledge of harbors know
this and for that reason can take a
broad view of the situation and tin;
derstand that the bay must be treat
ed, In all its aspects, as one proposi
tion and not as several distinct, Inde
pendent parts.
FOB THE HIGH SCHOOL.
In another column will bo found a
very earnest and emphatic statement
of one of the besi euueators in Ore
gon concerning the question of a
high school for Marshfleld. Pro
fessor Golden is let merely an edu
cator, he is a man wjo understands
tho great Importance of placing the
city of Marshfleld In the front ranks
of seaport and metropolitan cities,
and knows that it can have no more
or better reputation without school
than Tlmbuctoo. Ho has urged the
people of Marshfleld to turn out in
full force next Thursday evening and
show by the fullness of their vote
that this Is a city in which the peo
ple are Interested in education. We
believe they will do it. Marshfleld Is
very much alive to her own credit
today, and she only needs to be given
an opportunity to act in a good cause,
and be given the cue as to her duty,
and she will register her decision
with the true ring of the genuine
American city.
It is not surprising that Professor
Golden should have some slight or
even conlsderable fear that the vote
next Thursday will be light, for he
has been fighting hopefully for this
onsummation for many years. But
from the comment made on all sides.,
It seems plain that the high school
has Interested new and old time citi
zens alike. Every voter who has
an intelligent thought and is Inter
ested in Marshfleld will cast his vote
for the home education of Marsh
fleld youth in Marshfleld institutions.
Professor Golden well says that a
high school, properly equipped and
provided with a corps of sufficiently
salaried teachers, Is one of the best
-ecommendatlons which the city can
have In the eyes of the world be
yond the Cascades. People who seek
o better their condition In life by
coming to the Pacific coast, or who
come here for Its climate or because
of buuslne3s necessity, are almost al
ways possessed of pride and educa
tion, more or less. They are used to
schools and to people who support
schools. If they find them In the
same degree that they exist in all
fhe localities they are acquainted
with they feel at home. Otherwise
they are Inclined to go where they
an find them. They are the people
'e want to make up the population
of Coos Bay. Let every voter, for
fhe sake of Impression It will make
''pre and elsewhere, go to the elec-
Mon and vote for a well equipped and
rcdltnble high school.
