Old Timers Among Coos Bay's Greatest Boosters Visitors Impressed. A feature of Coos Bay boosters that Is attracting the attention of numerous visitors to this section, is that many of the oldest citizens havo come Infused with the spirit of a greater growth of the entire district. Old men havo become almost fanatlc ar'abouf Coos' Bay nlid Its great fu ture, and what Is attracting new comers Is that men of similar age in other localities are' belittling the progress of modern ways. To the newcomer this all goes to prove that Coos Bay has much to stand upon, when the men who are termed "mosabacks" in- other com munities are doing the greatest ad vertising in this section. Tho old fellows were chatting of the merits of Coos and Curry counties in a local hotel yesterday, and they furnished considerablp food for thought and no little amusement to some new ar rivals, to whom tho species were new. "I crossed the plains in 1852," said ono of tho boosters, "and came to Coos Bay. I have never wanted to leave It since and don't intend to. Coos Bay Is bound to become ono of tho greatest harbors In tho west, and in a few years there will bo a huge city where Marshfleld now stands." "I went to Curry county," said tho other old fellow, slowly, "and I crossed tho plains In '53. I heard so much about Coos Bay I decided to come up hero to see what you had. It Is a pretty good place, but Curry count' is good enough for mo to spend the rest of my days in." "Humph! and what Is tho name of your largest city?" asked the Coos Bay veteran, as ho leaned over with apparent Interest for tho answer. "I don't know which place Is our largest city," said tho other old man quietly. "Where Is your market?" asked tho Coos Bay man In the samo tone of voice. But his queries were too deep, and tho languid old man from Curry stared placidly at tho flro. Coos Bay stood up with a slight cough and buttoned up his coat. There was victory in his eye, and tho visitors who heard tho conversation, which was pretty loud, laughed In wardly at tho conceit shown over Coos Bay. Tho little scone, however, caused them all to think over what a great good it will do for any section when tho old fellows, generally conserva tive In all respects, start to boost tholr own section for a greater growth. Visitors Insist that it Is tho spirit that will mako any section grow, especially whore there Is -every resource to bo taken advantage of. Fresh Oysters.

PLAYED WHIST PECULIAR Probably Trumped Ills Partner's Aco According to Testimony Thought to bo Irrational. (By Associated Press.) NEW YORK, Jan. 15.

Mr. D. A. Utter, of Welser, Idaho., returns home after a six months stay on Coos Bay and carries with him a very high appreciation of the district. In a conversation with a. representative of the Times today he expressed himself as being fully convinced that the state of Idaho as well as Central and " Southern Ore gon would be greatly benefitted by the opening up of Oregon's deep sea port. Willie Mr. Utter is an enthu siastic Idaho man he 13 also enthu siastic in behalf of Coos Bay and de clares that it is an Idaho port in all respects except that it is not in Ida ho. "It is not the Immediate resources of Coos Bay," said Mr. Utter, "which, make it a great city, although its timber and coal will make it a very Important place, but its bay and the relation which that bay bears to. Northern California,' Southern and! Central Oregon, Idaho, Utah and! even to Colorado and Nevada which: will tell tho story. It may take sonir time to connect up with all these states but I expect the Nortkweslerr will be down hero from Boiso in few years. Tho greatest lmpet which Coos Bay will recelvo w come about two years before tl Panama canal Is opened. Then rah roads and eastern capital will rush to the coast and will find no bettec location for business and Investment than Coos Bay." Mr. Utter's many friends on tho bay will r.etain pleasant memories of his presence hero and Coos Bay may depend on It that tho cities and hay havo a friend who will not fall to sing their pralso in Idaho.
