has ever sailed for the local harbor,
and the largest lumber carrying ves
sel in Paciflc waters. Also, the C. A.
Smith factory is the most complete
of the kind in the world. He said
that the citizens of Coos Bay should

brate the arrival of the new vessel

go that the new vessel will bear away

there will be Coos Bay visitors at
tho plant on that day who will bo
