BOURNE WILL HOLD RALLY
INSPECT BAY HERE TONIGHT
Oregon Senator Talks of Pro
posed Visit to This
Section.
PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 19. Be
fore returning to Washington,
United States Senator Jonathan
Bourne will go to Coos Bay to dis
cuss with the people there the needs
of harbor improvement. Senator
Bourne has been in conference with
the United States Engineers this
week to gather information as to
what tho engineers will recommend
for Coos Bay.
The engineers have made recom
mendations for two projects for Coos
Bay. One Is for an opproprlatlon of
$500,000 and tho other Is for $2,
200,000. It is to discuss these re
commendations with the Coos Bay
citizens that the senator will jour
ney to the coast as soon as he recov
ers from the grip sufficiently.
"I have been Informed by a resi
dent of Cobs Bay," said the senator,
"that there is a difference of opinion
in that district over these appropria
tions, and I want to thresh out the
problem with them. The first re
commendation of the engineers Is
for $500,000. This sum is to be used
for deepening tho lnsido harbor and
tho construction and maintenance of
a deep-sea dredge for the outside
harbor. Tho second recommenda
tion, which is contingent, is $2,200,
000 for the construction of jetties.
It appears that some of the Coos Bay
people fear the deep-sea dredge may
not bo a success and they want tho
jetties instead.
"Now, I contend that we should
try to get what is possible. It is
practically Impossible to secure the
$2,200,000 for the Jetties for the
present. The engineers themselves
are not urging it. They make the
recommendation for the appropria
tion when the money will be avail
able. They first recommend, how
ever, the $500,000 for deepening the
inner harbor and tho deep sea dredge.
Inasmuch as there is little hope of
obtaining tho larger appropriation,
wo should bend all our energies to
obtain the $500,000. It will help
some, anyway. Tho people who fear
that the deep-sea dredge may not be
satisfactory should not talk that way.
How do they know it will be a fail
ure until it is tried? Tho United
States Engineers havo enough con
fidence in tho project to make a re
commendation for half a million
dollars. Let us attempt to secure
this money and experiment, at least.
It can do no harm and may do a
great deal of good.
"The Government Is run on buil
ness principles. It Is impossible to
securo a four-bit piece In addition to
the recommendation of the engineers.
Tho government depends on tho ad
vice of the engineers, and while tho
opinions of outside engineers may be
considered, they would not receive
tho weight of those employed by tho
government. No appropriation for
Internal improvements can go
through unless thoro Is a river and .
harbor bill. Even Joe Cannon him-j
self could not get a special appro-,
priation without tho river, and har-,
bor bill. I
"In regard to these appropriations
and other matters which tho state
wants of tho government, It is my .
Idea that the way to go about them
Is for the people of tho state to
make known their wants to their
representatives at Washington. Tho
way to do this is for tho commercial ,
or other bodies Interested to collect ,
data, all that Is available, and for
ward tho brief to tho representatives. s
With this Information at hand, tho
representatives will make as strong i
a showing as possible for the claim.

accurately estimated.
Congressman Ellis to Address
Meeting at Masonic Opera
House.
Judge W. R. Ellis, congressman
from Eastern Oregon, will address a
Republican rally at tho Masonic
Opera House at 8 o'clock this even
ing. Unless inclement weather Inter
feres, there promises to bo ono of the
largest audiences present that has
marked a political gatheiing on Coos
Bay in a long time.
Judge Ellis is an able speaker and
his address on the issues 6f the pre
sent campaign will be a clear pre
sentation of facts that every voter
should know before he casts his bal
lot at the coming presidential elec
tion. The meeting in Marshfield is
one of a series that Judge Ellis will
address in Oregon.
Judge C. A. Sehlbredo, state cen
tral committeeman, will preside at
tonight's meeting and introduce
Judge Ellis. A number of young
Republicans have been appointed as
a committee to decorate tho Opera
House for the meeting.
In addition to tho speaking, the
Crescent male quartette will furnish
several selections. "Tho Star Spangl
ed Banner" and other numbers will
also be sung by a chorus lead by C.
J. Millis.
Other meetings which Judge Ellis
will address in Coos county are as
follows:
North Bend, Oct. 20th.
Myrtle Point, Oct. 21st.
Coquille, Oct. 22nd.
Bandon, Oct. 23rd.
During his stay, Judge Ellis is be
ing extended a number of courtesies
including small dinner parties at vari
ous private homes. In addition to
Saturday's trip, C. J. Millis is tho
host to a lunch party in honor of Mr.
Ellis. Coos River and other scenic
points around tho Bay will be visited.
CHAMBERLAIN WON'T TALK.
Governor Refuses to Speak For
Bryan.
PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 19. Gov
ernor George E. Chamberlain will
not go on the stump for Bryan and
gives his reason in a communication
to Alexander Sweek, chairman of
tho Democratic State Committee.
The Governor, in the first place, does
not think a Governor should use his
prestige to further ono political
party nt the expense of another, and,
furthermore, Mr. Chamberlain says
ho discussed all tho National issues
while ho was on tho stump In his
campaign for senator. Governor
Chamberlain does not say he is a
non-partisan. Ho says ho was, and
Is now, a Democrat.
There has been some pressure
brought to bear on Governor Cham
berlain to take tho stump for Bryan
and there has been more pressure
to keep him off.
There must be a closo working rela
tionship between tho pcoplo on ope
hand and tho representatives on tho
other, Tho more facts tho people
prepare and send to tho representa
tives tho better case tho represen
tatives can make. A representative
discredited at homo should not bo
expected by the people at homo to
be accredited elsewhere. Represen
tatives in Washington cannot so read
ily accumulate necessary data as tho
coinmorclal organizations at, homo,
so tho best way to obtain results Is
for tho organization to proparo tho
information and sond it to Washing
ton. Then it is up to tho represen
tatives to make good, and Jf they
fall, romovo them and sond others
who will."
