OU WEARY, uncomfortable city
slave pacing the asphalt floor
of your prison, sweltering In the
smoky dirty atmosphere of your
giant building confines; you dweller
of the Inland country on whom the
sunimer descends with Intolerable
heat and dust and smoke, let mo
tompt you with a description of a
perfect summer resort.
I know tho word "resort" brings
to your mind the places where you
wore parted from big sums of money
by a speculating hotel-keeper, and,
in return were bored to death by
having nothing else to do but keep
at bay the persistent flies and mos
quitoes that usually Infect such
places. This resort has no files or
mosquitoes, no heat, no expensive
hotels; there are things so see and
things to do within a radius of
twenty-five miles tho Coos-Bay coun
try offers four or five distinct kinds
of climate and all tho different sports
that tho summer Idler cares for.
If you love the winds wild and
free from off the ocean and delight
in bathing In tho surf, or fishing for
thb deep sea fish, then Sunset Bay Is
tho place for yo'U to spend your vaca
tion. This llttlo Half Moon Bay Is
especially endowed by Mother Na
ture. FfiflHfig fihe had been unkind
to the ruggfifl western coast, she
hollowed out this" little" Cove and pro

want to make the trip In one day
then you can come In by Roseburg,
for one liking now experiences this
would be enjoyable the days of tho
stage coach are nearly over. When
Oregon Is net-worked with railroads
it will be a pleasant thing to rcmenv
her the time when you rode behind
six horses up the heavy grades, thru
tho virgin forests, famous for their
mighty trees, heavy with hanging
mosses and green with mammoth
ferns.
You would never regret a summer
spent on Coos Bay. Hero you can
fish, hunt or bo idle. You can visit
large dairy farms, logging camps and
see numerous mills In operation.
You can see tho coming city of tho
Northwest in its happy, healthy in
fancy. Here you will find a perfect
climate and a hearty welcome.

nery surrounding Coos Bay.
As wo travel down tho Bay, we
gaze upon land rich In tho reality
6Y adventure, pleasure and resource.
Ten miles from Marshfield, beyond
th'o big bend In the shore line, and a
few miles from the bar is "Rocky
P'6inf," a resort well-known to the
pietisvttd seekers. Here a large
point 61 rock extends into the Bay,
and along Its sides He huge boulders.
numerous, pretty and picturesque
bungalows and cottages, with flowers
twining around a rustic porch and an
abundance of foliage wreathing the
walls. On summer evenings there
conies the distant sound of music.
The fragrance of the flowers entran
ces, the water gleams In the moon
light and the faint rustle of tho wind
among the trees completes a condi
tion of contentment.
In addition to all these natural
and attractive spots for vacation
forgetfullness, the sea shore, the
cove, tho protected ocean beach and
the fresh water shore of Coos River,
Coos county has the famous and
beautiful Ten Mile Lake country, a
district several miles north of the
peninsula and dotted with numerous
small Inland and fresh water lakes,
surrounded by scenery, which com
mands admiration from tho veriest
connoisseur. This locality is virgin
territory and is destined to become
one of tho most popular resorts In
the western country, since it has al
ready seen the handiwork of the
architect and many fine summer
homes pay tribute to the beauty of
the district and tho various attrac
tions which draw the Idler that way.
MISS EDNA WIEDER,

TI
he! Advantages of coos Bay
Hlr the home-seeker and man of
capital have been largely ex
ploited. Its magnificent resources of
coal, timber, harbor and dairy prod
ucts have been set forth in glowing
terms to the would-be purchaser.
But, what have we, as citizens and
boosters of our Pacific Paradise done
to attract that large and liberal band
of summer wanderers who ask no
thing but pleasure In return for
cash? ,
To those heat-stricken exllos from
tho towns and cities of tho inland
states our bracing northwest wind
would bo a tonic to restore both
health and energy. We have no
prostrations from heat. For the last
six years tho averacro tonuiRrntiiro
fortablo cabins and some havo not
limited their stay to the warmer
months but have stayed through the.
winter as well.
There aro many public places l'or
picnics, camps and excursions. Em
pire, the oldest town on the Bay
and probably the most picturesque In
Oregon, offers interesting stories of
early pioneers, and the Indians who
were its first inhabitants. Sunset
Bay at tho mouth of Big Creek, ia
a perfect example of the Half Moon
Bay, and a queer Spanish pistol of
early dnte found by a former keeper
of the Arago llght-houao on tho
cliffs above tho Bay heightens tho
Interest in thja legends about this
beautiful spot.
Charleston Bay, Jordan's cove, tho
government buildings, at tho en
trance to the Bay, tho life-saving
station and Rocky Point aro points
of Interest on tho Lower Bay, whllo
tho Goodwill Camp and various
farms draw tho visitors to tho moun
tains east of the Bay.
To the jaded appetites of those de
pendant upon city markets, wo offer
berries, wild and cultivated, fruits
and vegetables, the best that Oregon
affords. To those fond of fish, wo
have, besldo the Rock Cod, ling and
halibut, salmon and trout, several
varieties of shell fish, including
clams, crabs, rock-oysters and craw
fish.
A word to those who would
"meet us on Coos Bay." There aro
three ways of coming: By boat from
San Francisco or Portland, by stago
from Drain station on, ho Southern
Pacific line, hy stage direct from,
Uosc!UrR to Marshfield, the pall
