Engineer Codding Would Meet
Atlantic Fleet With Crowd
of "Patriots.
To charter tho steamship Plant
and take a huge crovd from Coos
Bay to meet Rear Admiral Evans and
the fleet as they come up the coast,
was the brilliant suggestion of
Charles H. Codding, the well known
civil engineer, this morning as he
grew enthusiastic over the trip
around the Horn. He also suggested
tjiat the Chamber of Commerce take
up the matter of sending a delega
tion to Washington and try to get
the fleet to enter this harbor, as an'
advertising stunt for thl3 port.
Local agent Dow agreed about the
chartering the Plant if they could
select a period when she was not do
lug a heavy business, but as the pros
pects are that she will contlnuo
busy, he suggested that some other
boat be secured, preferably the Nan
Smith, as she would carry a larger
crowd and would know tho fleet
when she saw It.
Mr. Codding Is w;ell up on matters
naval and Is a walking dictionary
on tho statistics of most ships. He
used to be a member of the Boston
Yacht club when quite a young man,
and has never lost Interest In ship
ping. Consequently tho visit of the
battleships' to tho Pacific has made
him one of the most enthusiastic
and patriotic citizens on the coast.
With Engineer DIora, of North Bend,
who Is also well up on statistics, Mr.
Codding could successfully look after
a crowded ship chartered to view the
big battleships.
