0. C. Leiter, Geo. M. Hyland, R.
D. Hume, Capt. Magenn and'
Others Talk.
"Coos Bay should be developed by
government appropriations as it will
be for the benefit of tho whole coun
try although primarily benefitting:
the citizens of this community. I
agree with Mr. Leltcr when ho says
that the government should pay for
tho dredging of the channel of tho
inner bay and not force tho citizens
hero to do it by subscription. Every
community is asking for federal aid.
on variois projects and tho ones who
urge their requests continuously and
strenuously are likely to bo tho ones
who will secure what they desire
Consequently I urge you to continue
active compalgn in behalf of Coos
Bay and I pledge you that I will
render all tho assistance I can."'
This expression from Judge W. It.
Ellis, member of congress from the
eastern district of Oregon, before a-well-attended
meeting of the Marsh
field Chamber of Commerce last
evening, met with enthusiastic ap
plause. Judge Ellis spoke briefly,,
being called on by Walter Lyon, who
presided last evening, for an im
promptu talk on his Impressions of
Coos Bay. O. C. Lelter of Portland,
Geo. M. Ilylimd, Capt. Magenn, R. D.
Humo and W. H. Downing of Saienv
were tho other speakers.
"This Is my first trip to the Coos
Bay country and I nm highly pleas
ed with it," continued Mr. Ellis.
"Of course, I have not had much op
portunity to see It yet, but I am con
fident that all I have heard
of it is true. Tho great resources1
hero, you are just beginning to
touch. Tho great C. A. Smith mill
which I visited was a revelation In
its completeness and up-to-dateness.
It could not be more modern on nioro
complete, and I speak after having
inspected the great mills throughout
all sections of the country.
"You need better transportation
facilities, and I think you will sooir
securo them. The bay should be
greatly Improved. Whilo I do not
represent this district, I am willingr
to work with your congressman and.
do all I can for Coos Bay. The Qre
gon delegation in congress is handi
capped by not having more mem
bers. Wo have so much country to
represont and so many projects that,
require federal nld that wo can't do
all of them justice. This is because
tho other sections of tho country hav
ing similar projects and asking aid
havo moro congressmen and when
appropriations aro prorated, thoy aro
so much to each congressman and not
so much to each project. Tho now
Inland Waterways Association wilL
holp us a great deal by moulding:
public sentiment in behalf develop
ing tho waterways. I am In favor
of nn appropriation of at least $50,
000,000 per year for this develop
ment work. With theso appropria
tions, I think Coos Bay can securo
tho deserved attention, bo properly
dredged by the government, tho jetty
or Jetties built and tho bar made
what it should bo. In all this, I
want you to remember that I will

aid I can."
Government Should Aid.
O. C. Loiter, city editor of tho
Portland Oregonian, made a brief
talk In which ho praised Coos Day
and commended tho progressive
spirit which tho citizens hero are
showing. He said that it was a shame
that tho citizens of Coos Hay had to
raise money by subscription hero to
dredge tho harbor, work that should!
bo done by the government. How
ever, tho spirit of progress shown la
