JUNG COAST
BY AUTOMOBILE
Choo-Choo Wagons Will Soon
Skim the Sandy Beach From
Coos Bay Northward.
A GREAT SCENIC ROUTE
-t-i.
Nowhere Else Co'tild Such Be Found
Routes In to Coos Buy
Picturesque.
. .
It is a well-known fact that the
problem of getting Into Coos Bay has
many peculiarities, to express it
mildly. The simplest, quickest and
most direct is to come by boat, from
either Frisco or Portland, also the
cheapest. But to peoplo who have a
holy horror of sea-sickness It offers
no inducements. In fact many would
not come at all if that was the only
way in here.
There are now three other ways
of getting hero that will lend all
the desired spice that would bo re
quired by the most exacting. At that,
no two of them are alike, but if you
allow yourself to be Influenced by
the wonderful stories told by some
patrons, each is worse than the other.
If you come by Roseburg via
Myrtle Point you get staging and
railroad. If you come the Coos Bay
wagon road you got staging, hand
car ride and gasoline launch (with
horse back riding over the mountains
in the winter.) If you come the
Drain road via Elkton, Scottsburg
and Gardiner, you have one added
variety. You start from Drain in a
stage. At Scottsburg you take a
steamer to Gardiner, out of Gardiner
you take the steamer for the beach
on Winchester bay. If the sea is
not too rough they land you in the
surf in row boats, when you must
take the queerest looking vehicle you
ever saw. It is built on the same
principle as a street car always
room for one more. It is on high
wheels with a tire about six inches
wide, with the cover so made that
they close it all in if the weather is
stormy, which destroys the chief
beauty of the trip. It will seat
nnrnfrirtnlllv illlOUt. Six. bllt 12 IS
about the usual load. It is twenty
miles down the coast which is as
smooth as a planed board. If you
are fortunate enough to see, it is one
of tho grandest trips in the world.
The sensation is one never to be for
gotten. After that it is a gasoline
boat up Coos Bay.
It seems that either of these routes
would furnish all the delights and
sensations that tho average man or
woman would require. Tho opto
mlst will tell you that perfection can
be Improved upon.
Messrs. D. M. Kemp, Won and An
drews are striving to improve on
perfection. If they are not they are
certainly going to add a new spice
to the mode of travel into and out
of this country, and shorten the
distance.
Within a short time, now they in
tend making connections with tho
Drain route with an automobile
line. Their proposed plan is to meet
the Drain stage at Winchester bay,
ferry tho passengers across and take
them up tho beach to Florence in
their cars, at a speed that will beat
tho S. P. At Florence you tako a
boat to Mapleton at the head of
navigation on the Siuslaw. From
Mapleton you go by stage to Eugene.
This is said to bo tho best stage road
on the Paclflc coast, and lands you
40 miles nearer Portland. In going
this route, you get a gasoline boat
ride first, then the "sand wagon,"
steamboat ride, automobile whirl, an
other steamboat ride, a stage ride
and then a train to Portland.
The ultimate object of Messrs.
Kemp, Wolf and Andrews is to
make connections with the railroad
at Yaqulna Bay on tho north
That
will make tho distance snorter in
time at least
Alan thor will Iia an
automobile lino from Coos Bay to
Gardiner.
When that time comes, and It is
believed to bo in tho near future,
there will be no grander ride on
earth. It will make this coast fa
mous and have people coming from
all parts of tho globo to tako that
ride, If for no other purpose. Push
the good work along, In tho summer
time 20 automobiles would hardly
be able to carry tho people. Once
having seen the grand scenery and
the many wonderful things to he
seen nowhere else on earth, thous
ands would never leave.

SEES NO CAUSE FOR
FINANCIAL SQUEEZE
A. Smith Gives Optimistic Inter
view on the Financial Flurry
Started hi Wall Street.
C. A. Smith, president of tho
Smith, Barnes & Strohber Co., gener
ally recognized as one of the keenest
and most observing membe'rs of the
trade and ono thoroughly familiar
with business conditions in tho West,
said to a representative of Tho Mu
sic Trades:
"I fall to see any reason why there
should be any financial break in this
country, although troublo may be
precipitated by hotheads and specu
lators. Certainly, Chicago and the
AVest need not be alarmed over the
financial distress prevailing in Wall
street for tho West long ago cleared
Itself of the debt yoke to that famous
thoroughfare. Today the West stands
securely on Its own feet; it has a
sound bottom; It Is not owing money
in the East and we might say it owns
considerable Eastern mercantile pa
per. Now, Wall street is deep In
stocks stocks up to Its eyes so that
it cannot hear well.
"Twenty years ago wo had some
thing like this condition in Chicago.
Wo thought that tho sun of prosper
ity rose and set in tho Board of
Trade; that they mado tho price of
wheat and consequently tho price of
broad. But presently wo found out,
when the speculation began to pile
up Indebtedness In carrying margins
and gambling on tho future, the
fearsome attitude of tho Board of
Trade had less and less effect upon
men who were creating values by
making goods doing useful things I
in the world's work.
"Everybody who Is anybody In the
world of business knows that good
securities have a certain value, and
always will have, but the fictitious
premiums that are put upon stocks
good stocks by daring manipula
tors are bound to bring some one to
grief. If you or I, having earned
honest money, Invest the same in a
good earning stock of one of our
Western railroads here we can af
ford to put the said stock In bank,
tako the dividends as they como
along and bo fairly contented. But
If we buy stocks, then rush off to
tho bank and persuade our friend the
banker to loan us a certain amount,
taking said stocks for security, and
these stocks, through some manipula
tion, fall below the price wo paid for
them, we not only stand the loss, but
tho banker may throw them out upon
a falling market."
NOTES OF PROGRESS
The horse show which closed Sat
urday at Portland was a tremendous
success, and the Oregon animals on
display, as well as tho show Itself,
was voted by Dr. Wlthycombe as just
as good, if not as large, as the ono
in New York City.
The Portland Commercial Club's
monthly dinner tomorrow night will
discuss how Oregon is advertised. In
addition to local speakers, Mr. John
II. Hartog, just elected secretary of
the Eugeuo Commercial Club, John
H. Whyte, manager of the Astoria
Chamber of Commerce, and speakers
from several other points, accompa
nied by delegations, will be present,
In addition to prominent Portland
business men.
There will be a special excursion
of Portland business men to Mosier,
Saturday, the 16th, to attend the
meeting to bo held Saturday evening.
"Wn tako clearinc house certifi
cates" is a sign now to bo seen in
tho show windows of almost every
Portland business house. The finan
cial sky is clearing and there is every
prospect that two weeks more will
seo conditions normal.

EXAMINES THIELE IN
ADAMS MURDER CASE
Clarence Barrow Spends Day in Ques
tioning Plnkerton Detective
Stood Test Well.
Spokane Nov. 11. A special to the
Spokesman-Review from Rathdrum,
Idaho, says: Most of the day in the
Steve Adams case was taken up by
Clarence Darrow in paving tho way
for argument as to the truthufulness
of Plnkerton detectives. S. C. Thiele,
assistant superintendent of the Plnk
erton Spokane office, was Darrow's
victim and from early morning until
court adjourned he battled with tho
detective, going over and over again,
step by step and thread by thread,
tho circumstances surrounding the
mnnnor tn which Adam's confession
to Thiele was made and making of
tho statement. Prior testimony
mado by Thiele was dug up by Dar
row. Drrrow Is good at this. His
caustic manner, harsh voico and
sharp tongue, tend to lay great stress
on some points where otherwise an
attorney would fail. On tho whole
Thiele made a good Impression and
while it is certain ho will bo at
tacked in the argument of tho Chica
go nttnrnnv. he did in his testimony.
J. H. Hawley, who conducted tho case
for the state at Boise, tooK mo ieuu
today, Knight retiring for the time
being. He had only one clash with
Darrow.

Guggenhelms Muko Preparations
for Work In the
North.
Tacoma, Wash., Nov. 11. M. J.
Henoy, who built tho White Pass and
Yukon Railroad, has been given a
contract by the Guggenhelms and J.
P. Morgan & C. to build the Copper
River and Northwestern Railroad
from Cordova to tho upper regions of
tho Copper River. A branch road
will first be built to Behrlng Lake
coal field, where the Guggenhei'mB
aro opening veins of coal said to
equal British Columbia coal in qual
ity. Heney is Instructed to have the
first 20-mllo section, now building,
completed by January 1.
Heney started to build the Copper
River Railroad last year for John Ro
sene, selecting Cordova as the termi
nal. Later tho Guggenhelms bought
the interests of Rosene and Heney.
Another engineer selected Catalla for
a terminal, but this year's experience
shows that Catalla could not be used
without building a breakwater and
harbor at an estimated cost of $3,
000,000. For this reason Catalla
will be abandoned and Heney's orig
inal plan adopted, making the ter
minus at Cordova.
The line is to run northwest from
Cordova to Copper River, and thence
through canyons and along the river
to north of the Taznuna and Nabesna
Rivers, where are located copper de
posits discovered by the Heney-Brat-noblor
expedition two seasons ago.
Heney is sending north men and ma
terial. E. C, Haskins has resigned
as chief engineer of Harrlman's
Sound extension to become chief en
gineer of the Guggenheim road.
IMPROVED ORDER REDMEN
By J. H. Fitzgerald, Great
Senior
Sagamore.
This order has intrinsic merit as
a society which teaches and exem
plifies the principles of friendship
and brotherly helpfulness. Its pre
cepts Inspire all with the spirit of
fraternal lovo and good fellowship,
and with the divine Idea of the broth
erhood of man, and they bring to the
service the generous impulses which
tend to pleasant and harmonious re
taliations among men. It's teachings
refine their natures, and awaken
their minds to the highest aspira
tions. It especially appeals to the
patriotic sentiments of the American
citizen because of Its origin, Its tra
ditions and its ceremonies.
The combined membership of
Tribes and Councils January 1st,
1D07, was 436,282, total net in
crease in membership in 1D06 of
20,508 and the order will show an in
crease In 1907 of at least 50,000
Wo are proud of tho Improved O. R.
M. as It Is tho oldest fraternal or
ganization, of purely American orig
in. The wonderful progress and
popularity of the Improved Order of
Redmen have won for it tho promi
nent position it occupies among tho
social and benevolent fraternities of
tho United States.
Tho secret of American llfo nnd
prosperity Is the close alllanco be
tween the citizen and tho govern
ment under which he lives and the
Interdependence and confidence such
a relationship Imposes. So, true
fraternities can exist only when man
recognizes the truth that ho is bound
unto his neighbor in tho unbroken
union of mutual dependence.
Tho stream of freedom, friendship
and charity cannot bear false gods
upon their bosom nor carry pestilence
and night to those who drink deeply
of their waters.
The pretenco once abandoned, now
seemingly renewed, that an organi
zation like ours is hostile to social,
political and religious welfare, is as
weak and Impotent as would ue tno
contention that our banner shelters
all tho banners of mankind.
Tho history of tho lives, patriot
Ism, devotion and heroism, of our
membership falsifies tho one, as
common sense repudiates tho other.
In an ago of unrest and theological
discussion, where tho pews aro re
plying to tho pulpits, whero men ap
pear to be drifting from old-time
moorings, and tho religious faith of
tho fathers is being questioned nt
a tlmo when a spirit of material
progress seems to absorb tho energies
of earth's inhabitants, our order
dares to assert tho probity and honor,
truth and fidelity, aro still factors In
a world's development; that tho
growth of human character consti
tutes the richest attribute of our
civilization, as tho practice of tho
divine precepts, that underlie this
and kindred orglnlzatlons, Is but tho
natural development of our noblest
Impulses. The primary objects of
our affiliation and patriotism, fra
ternity and benevolence. There can
bo no conflict with church or creed,
because our membership embraces all
sects and religions. That man best
serves tho Great Spirit who best loves
and helps his fellow man. No party
or sectional distinctions can bo
known among us.
Wo aro friends and brothors linked
together In am(ty,let peace abide
among us and tho Great Spirit bless
and prosper us.
