AS SEEN Our secretary of war is looked That there is action among the citizens of Coos Bay when there is something tangible to work upon has been proved by tho sending of a delegation from this harbor to Port land to meet tho engineers sent out from Washington to consider river and harbor improvements and de fenses on the Pacific coast. Tho send ing of Col. Brigham and Peter Log glo, and the stationing of Walter Lyon In Portland to watch for tho arrival of tho exports, will undoubt edly Impress tho visitors with the importance of Coos Bay by the en ergy of Its citizens so well displayed.

Tho fol lowing is tho Portland story, which states that Coos Bay is tho most im portant project to ho considered by tho visitors: Several members of tho rivers and harbors committee of tho National Congress, together with two mem bers of tho National board of en gineers, who act in an advisory cap acity, will bo In tho northwest beforo the end of this month to Inspect the many important government Im provements now under way and pro jected.
