Wm. Grimes. Returns. From
Oklahoma Enthusiastic Over
Coos Bay and Prospects For
Good Times and Prosperity.
Wm. Grimes arrived last night
from Kingfisher, Okla.
11 This might have been all thr.c
vould have been written about the
arrival of the person In question had
the reporter not encountered Mr.
Grimes this morning and been given
an opportunity to realize, as Marsh
fleld citizens who have known him
during his previous residence here do,
that Wm. Grimes' presence meant
more to Coos Bay than the ordinary
traveler's. As many residents of Coos
Bay, particularly the business men,
know Mr. Grimes came originally to
Coos Bay a few years ago and
so Impressed was he with It that he
determined to make It his future
home and promptly invested quite
heavily here. He has been spending
the winter with his family at his old
home in Kingfisher, Okla.
"Yes, I am mighty glad to be back
on Coos Bay and to see the activities
In progress here," said Mr. Grimes.
"As you doubtless know, times have
Leen pro'tty quiet the country over
Blnco the financial slump last fall,
and in many places it Is still quite
dull. I was suprised to see the vast
amount of work underway here and
the 'amount contemplated to begin
boon. The volume of It Is greater
than' In many of the larger cities. I
doubt if Portland could equal It,
leaving out the completion of impro-
omenta begun last year and which
of course had to be completed this
spring.
"Business Is rapidly getting back
to Its normal state. The nomination
of Wm. H. Taft for president has
accomplished a great deal. Mr, Taft
Is more than acceptable tq all classes
of people and ho will give the coun
try an excellent administration. The
confidence that Is generally reposed
In Taft was Impressed on mo the
other day while In Guthrie. A promi
nent wholesaler there told mo that
while ho had always been a staunch
Democrat and voted the Democratic
ticket, ho was going to vote for Taft
and work for him. Not only that
but his business associates, also life
long Democrats, are going to do like
wise. You will find It tho same the
country over. Business will continue
to Improve until tho election and
then It will simply jump ahead and
by this tlmo next year, prosperity will
need an anchor to hold It down.
"This is tho time for Coos Bay
people to build a city. Material Is
cheap, labor Is plentiful and much
cheaper than a year ago, and a little
united effort will make things hum
hero. Tho prosperity of Coos Bay
will attract others and they will Join
In tho progressive movement.
"With the dredge coming hero,
tho owners of Coos Bay property will
have a wonderful opportunity to Im
prove their holdings. The dirt re
moved from tho Bay can bo used
to fill In tho lowlands If tho peoplo
will only build bulk-heads to permit
It. Tho cost will bo small.
"Thou, continue tho street Impro
vement campaign. It will work won
ders In tho city's nppoaranco and
create favorable Impressions on now
comers. It enn bo dono cheaply
now and tho vnluo of tho property
will ho enhanced more than tho cost.
The city council has tho right idea
and I think will do tho right thing If
tho pooplo will Just Join In."
Mr. Grimes simply didn't Iihvo
tlmo to I'ontluuo tho oppression of liU
enthusiastic plans for Coos Bay, for
a dozen wanted to talk over private

matters with him. The exuberance
showed that he more than ever ap
preciated this community and its op
portunities. This morning, Mr. Grimes was
awakened by the pile driver which Is
busy at work preparing the founda
tion for the new $75,000 Chandler
hotel of which he was one of the
promoters. The din of the pile
driver, which has been the bug-bear
of Dorsey Kreitzer's early morning
naps, was music to the ear of Mr.
Grimes for It meant that the near
future would bring the realization
of his dream of a fine hotel for Coos
Bay. Mr. Kreitzer is Mr. Grimes'
son-in-law and the latter Is staying
at the Kreitzer home which Is near
the site of the new Chandler.
Mr. Grimes was accompanied here
by his wife, Miss Mary Dakln, Thayer
Grimes and Max Roberts. They came
via Portland and Drain. They ori
ginally Intended to come down on the

INVESTING IN OREGON.

Seed Co. Buy Big Farm In
Jackson County.
MEDFORD, June 27. It has de
veloped that the parties with whom
J. M. Sweeny was connected when he
purchased the old Beecher place near
Jacksonville are none other than the
D. M. Ferry Seed Company, of De
troit, Mich., who are the largest seed
growing firm In the United States,
and for that matter. In the world.
The company will put a largo force
of men at work on the place and
will grow seeds there for market on
the Pacific coast.
The Ferry Seed Company has two
largo sets of main offices, one, the
headquarters, In Detroit, and the
other in Salt Lake City. It has sev
eral large farms throughout the
country, but as far as can be learn
ed this will be their only large farm
on the Pacific coast. They are very
successful in the raising of seeds of
nil kinds from the rarest flower to
tho most common of garden truck.
Tholr farms are conducted upon tho
most scientific plans, as they employ
soil experts and chemists to deter
mine how to obtain the best results
from tho soil they use.
The company will employ at least
50 men upon tho farm and will prob
ably make It a most Important In
dustry of the valley. It Is also re
ported that they will start a nursery
and supply fruit trees that are In de
mand In this section of tho country.
The property which Mr. Sweeny
purchased for tho use of tho coin
many Is tho plnco known as tho
Boechor plnco, above Jacksonville.
Tho placo contains 1,100 acres of
well-watered, timbered and tho fin
est of tillable land. Of tho 1,400
acres. 1,200 Is tho finest kind of fruit
land, as tho old orchard upon tho
placo demonstrated. Tho soil is rich,
deep and amply sublrrlgated. Tho
most of tho tract lies In n well-pro-tectod
basin which Is not exposed to
tho extremes of hoit or cold. For
irrigating purposes there Is an abun
dance of water. A giant pump Is al
ready upon tho land and $1,000 ex
ponded would construct a couplo or
hi or dams that will storo enough wa
or to last at least six months in the
year.

Tho Fall of tho Plug Hut.
In tho fashionable precincts of New
York the Pi luce Albert coat aud the
regulation silk hut appear to have been
practically uuiuuloucri. Fashion has
issued no edict, and the disappearance
of the stately tile Is evidently due to
the fact- that something different is
more comfortable nnd. in tin- eyes of
those who set the pace, "just as
good." There Is no regulation about
the huts which succeed the stovepipe.
Tho derby holds the Held for most
purposes, but there Is also the very
dignified soft bat. In all colors and

Marshfield Business House
Makes Important Shipment
to San Francisco.
A line tribute to the commercial
possibilities of Coos Bay as well as
to the character and business getting
qualities of one of the representa
tive mercantile establishments of
Marshfield Is found in the order re
ceived yesterday by the W. R. Haines
Music Company for two or their best
pianos with player attachments to be
shipped to San Francisco. These
pianos were purchased by San Fran
cisco residents on a business trip to
this city who were attracted by the
display of instruments in the Haines
store and on making further inquiry
frankly acknowledged that the prices
for the same grade of goods were bet
ter than could be secured In San .
Francisco and promptly gave their
orders. The pianos are being boxed
today and will be shipped on the
first trip of the M. F. Plant to their
destination. It was a cash transac
tion involving $1,400.
When W. R. Haines was approach
ed by a reporter and asked if It i
were not unusual for a Coos Bay
business house to be shipping musical '
foods to San Francisco, he replied
that while it was not regarded as '
their natural field It was not unusual
for his house to ship goods to distant (
cities from Marshfield.
"These two pianos," remarked Mr. ;
Haines, "make a total of eight that i
wo have shipped to other points j
within a year. We have sent two to
Eureka, California, one to Crescent !
City, one to Portland, one to Salem
