JVORTH BEND'S SUGGESTION.
TJ.3 spirit of consolidation was tho
Tcatnro of all the speeches and toasts
ai. ILe North Bend banquet held un
der, xJe auspices of the Chamber of
Commerce of that city tho other even
ing. It seemed to be well recognized
&&.. no tinio ior Uie consummation
.".a plan was near tat hand. As
oik jealter, Col. Walter Lyons, sec-a-ctewy
of tho Marshlleld Chamber of
Gb erce said, in order to get tho
Sc t of that inestimable advertis
ing hich the census of 11)10 will
j&r., ho educational work of prepar
Jm.C 'or consolidation and tho union
Jrai arts.ll cities on Coos Bay in one cor-
jnjn.tion, must begin now. As an
.oth( speaker said, tho waters of
'Ccr Bay roll Into and roll out of it,
siatr a and they are the only united
tote In the district. The oneness of
Affic ny certainly does arguo with
overwhelming power In favor of one
ness for the community which has
satbered on its shores. If Coos Bay
were broken up into a number of
.small bays not one of them would
command attention. The same thing
ccrs with respect to the community
csriilch Is broken up into small towns,
jxo ono of which Is largo enough to
raiuut for much in the list of Oregon
iaiica.
Bat tho important thing for Coos
ZBqy cities Is to get together as one
jxrobably under tho borough plan
adopted by Greater New York and
.snooted for Greater San Francisco.
This they should do within the suc
ceeding two years In order, as Col.
.Corona suggested, to havo the ad
Tinn'age of standing high up on the
li3t of Oregon cities in that census.
2C ono examines tho census of 1900
lit; flrds Marshfleld with a population
jqU about 1200. The world, looking
Sr Oregon's important cities in that
ssaaBiia list, has, for ten years seen
joa s jggestion of Marshlleld's Import
.rzmiA. Empire, in that census, has
tlM -red insignificant. As for North
Beau, It had no place there. But In
laiu ilie Federal government will
number all the people of tho United
Slaud and the numbering will stand
for ii n years as the only information
fjtfi jjreat majority of the people of
taiu v. orld will havo as to what tho
importance or population of our
asll' . may be. It .Marshfleld then has
uuviii thousand, North Bond llvo
-thousand, Eastsldo ono thousand, flvo
JuwUrud, and Empire five hundred,
"Uioy will .suggest nothing of tho
csreatuess of Coos Bay. But if they
;ara united as one with a population
saC fourteen thousand, United States
jsnnators, presidents, representatives,
capitalists and people everywhere
v-will as easily ncnutro a just estimate
a what this city Is, as what
Oreijon Is, for It will then
3Va and appear to bo, ono of tho most
$i f Kmaldornblo cities in Oregon.
.Such a consolidated city will havo
-prestige, power, iullucnco nnd famo.
.Such a city will be ablo to care for its
"rrartjor., lncreaso its commerco, at
tract railroads, attract ocean trallic,
shhI inoro than nil dovlso and carry
t-wit plans to develop Its immediate
jfcrlbu'ary country. It can adopt a
-common system of street naming and
ncinhoiing. It can havo all tho fea
ttnron of an up to dato municipality
3m common and its city government
-will bo a force for tho progress of the
port Tho Chambers of Commerco
tfliould request their conforonco com
xaoittrp to act on tho matters BUbmlt
rcfl 10 them nnd to report a plan
which may bo published to tho peo
, ypia nnd tho people should havo a
srem-fl opportunity to discuss It and
Heuomo familiar with It. Such action
Twould not necessarily bo final but
would bo in tho lino of educational
work nnd all its features could bo
Jtalrly well understood when, a year
-or so hence, the proposition could bo
.-acted on dollnitoly.

down. It is a dangerous sign and
accentuates the crime. It has be
come so common a practice that con
servative men dislike to discuss it
because of the necessity of having to
argue its foulness with men unsus
pected of harboring the idea of pal
liation. Tho day will come when normal
honesty will be worth nothing as
a principal, and tho shrewdness to
filch and steal and despoil will be the
measure of fitness for public and
private employ, If this indifference Is
not abated, says an exchange. Every
ma.n who deliberately makes light of
grafting confesses his own moral
weakness and Impugns tho strength
of character of the man he is talk
ing to; there Is something vicious in
the mind that tolerates, and declares,
tho apathetic view of this wide-spread
national sin. It is the patriotic duty
of all men to emphatically and In
variably discountenance it wherever
I,t Is found.
MUSIC 11 Y TELEPHONE
The uso of tho telephone Is rapidly
expanding until now no one will ven
ture to say just where it will end.
Ono largo city of tho world gets its
news by telephone and It hasn't been
long since In Idaho a couple marched
to tho matrimonial altar to the
strains of a wedding march played
on a piano twenty miles away and
heard over tho telephone.
Tho following description, there
fore, given by tho Baltimoro News, of
a plan to provido music to telephone
subscribers, does not seem so im
probable: Telephone subscribers may soon be
ablo to havo as much music, vocal
or Instrumental, as they desire In
their homes, If a series of experi
ments now being made by George
II. Webb provo successful. All that
will bo required will bo to call on
central and ask for whatever selec
tion is desired, attach a specially
constructed receiver and tho music
fills tho room. Already much suc
cess has boen attained by Mr. Webb
In Ills experiments, and patonts have
been applied for tho devices designed
in connection with tho transmission
and receiving of tho music.
Mr. Webb declined to havo any
thing to say about his plans for
sending music out over tolephono
lines from a central station. Ho hns
boon experimenting with various de
vices to accomplish this for over two
years. Tho music is of tho disc
record character and tho apparatus
used In reproducing this music is ot
Mr. Wobb's own Invention. Tho cent
ral station is equipped with a do
vlco to operato tho disc and thero aro
specially constructed transmitters
and recolvors. Tho discs nro opornt
ed on turnstiles, which aro operated
by electric power. This takes tho
placo of tho mechanical working of
tho ordinary talking machine.

GOOD FOR COOS
Pitchfork Senator Tillman the
Latest Champion for
Coos.
" 'Tis a long road that has no turn
ing."
Unless all signs are false it would
seem that tho long road which Coos
, Bay, Coos County and Oregon have
been jogging along on for the past
score of years is about to turn. From
Washington comes word that Sena
tor Tillman, the democratic demo
crat from "old Carliny" state, has
taken up the cause of Oregon. From
Portland comes word that suit has
been filed against the Southern Ore
gon Company and the Coos Bay
I Wagon Road Company to recover
,13,000 acres of rich land which has
been illched from tho people. Fol
' lowing Is the dispatch from Washing
ton: j "The Senate adopted the Tillman
. resolution requesting the President to
inform, the Senate what action has
I been taken by the Department rela
j five to violation of tho land-grant
laws in Oregon and Washington by
the Southern Pacific Railroad."
Hero is an excerpt regarding the
filing of the suit against tho land
monopolists:
"Through a suit in equity filed by
01 plaintiffs in tho United States Cir
cuit Court an attempt Is being made
to forco the Southern Oregon Com
pany and tho Coos Bay Wagon Road
Company to sell 13,000 acres of land
in tho Coos Bay Wagon Road grant
for $2.50 per acre.
Tho suit makes Attornoy-Goneral
Bonnparto and tho United States de
fendants and is based upon a resolu
tion introduced in tho Senate recently
by Senator Tillman seeking to force
tho holding companies to abandon
their claims on tho property or to
fulfill tho terms of tho Government
grants by soiling tho land at tho
stipulated price of $2.50 per acre.
JTho various people who filed on the
lands did so recently at Empire City.
! "John It. Horron and others
against tho Southern Oregon Com
pany is tho titlo of tho suit. Tho
papers filed In tho caso contain over
100 pages of typewritten matter."
