"I want to tell you that everything points to the early coming of the railway and also to urge you people, who are now here, to get a hold be fore the rush comes. I don't mean that you all should make real estate Investments because there are lots of good business opportunities In nearly all lines and the opportunity for you Is now. Coos Day is a young man's country. The building of the new hotel now underway and the per manent Improvement of the streets which is nearer realization than ever before are two of the things that are going to help bring the transforma tion. "There are big things to be ac complished here. One of them that comes to my mind just now is the coming need of a fine waterworks sys tem. The present one will soon be in adequate and we will have to have a greater and more sanitary supply. Clear lake, eighteen miles north of here, has been secured so that It may bo turned over to the city for this purpose. The merging of the cities will soon come and with it the power to Issue bonds to secure these much needed improvements for a growing city. The movement at North Bend to erect a new school there will be postponed I hope until the school districts are merged and wo can ar range for one great central high school." Dr. J. T. McCormac, president of the Marshficld Chamber of Com merce rather surprised those in at tendance at Friday night', meeting by the above bit of advice or rather sug gestion In a talk at the conclusion of the evening's session.

Fruit Inspector M. G. Pohl, L. It. Robertson, It. T. Durett and Mr. Saltmarsh of Portland were the speakers that evening, all making Im promptu talks. Tolcpliono Men Talk. The talks by Messrs. Durett and .Robertson were of particular inter eat as Mr. Durett heads a syndicate which proposes to establish a new independent telephone system on Coos Day while Mr. Robertson is the manager of the Pacific States Com pany which already has an exchange here. Mr. Durret's talk was along the line that he addressed the Marsh- field city council Thursday night, outlining what he proposed to do. Mr. Robertsifn followed him briefly and told of what the Pacific Slates Company proposed to do. lie said that the Pacific States Company hud plans prepared for rebuilding the system hero and putting In a modern exchange that would be, largo enough for a city of 25,000 population but thnt the work had been delayed b tho llnaiicial flurry. However, he ex pected it rushed ahead now as soon ns consistent. In addition to this, ho said that If there was any parti cular sentiment for having the tele phone company owned by homo capi tal, tho Pacific States Company would ho glad to consider negotiations for the purchaso of their holdings hero. To Advance l.Viiit Inti'ivMs. Dr. M. 0.

Ho said theso Interests were a monaco and should bo eli minated.
