I'irst Performance of Tills Popular
Comic Opera Tonight.
Much interest is being taken in
the production of this ever-popular
comic opera which is to be presented
in the Masonic Temple tonight and
repeated tomorrow night. For the
past two weeks about 40 of the lead
ing singers of Marshfleld have been
busy preparing for this ovent and
last night's rehearsals found every
one well up in their parts, and the
chorus with as much swing and snap
as is often seen In professional com
panies. The scenery has been espe
cially prepared to represent the deck
of the "Pinafore" and the costuming
will all go to make it a most enjoy
able affair. The music of this opera,
written by Sir Arthur Sullivan, is
bright and catchy and Pinafore has
enjoyed a longer run than any other
light opera it now being produced
for the fifteenth year by some of
the original company as conducted
by the composer, In the Savoy Thea
tre, London.
The cast is made up mostly of
singers new to a Marshfleld audi
ence, but all are good and are sure
to score a success The part of Cap
tain Corcoran will be taken by Mr.
C. R. Wade of Bandon, as the Mr.
Van Tassel who was to have sung
this role lias been obliged to leave,
but Mr. Wade has taken the part so
recently that he will fill the require
ments in an able manner.
The opera is under the direction
of Mr. H. E. Robinson and given for
the benefit of the High School.

Editor Times:
THE PORT COMMISSION has
now organized and Is prepared
to take up the important mat
ters which made it necessary for
Coos Bay to decree its creation. It
marks a great and radical change in
he local situation, for not only have
the several communities on the Bay
been welded Into one municipality,
but the Bay, which, from a legal
point of view has hitherto been any
body's plaything, has now come
tinder a dominant authority and
that dominant authority is in a posi
tion not only to regulate navigation
but to prevent trespasses. The
power is subject to the will of the peo
ple, but is great and salutary If ex
ercised as it should be.
The Times has confidence in the
personnel of the commission. While
opposition may haie manifested it
self in tho few days preceding the
governor's appointments, to some of
the men recommended, the personal
objection has been overruled and
the sole question remains an Imper
sonal one, namely, the best Interests
and greatest good of Coos Bay. Let
no man of Coos be so blind to his
own interests as to let spite, pre- .
judlce or personal opinion of In
dividuals stand In his light, In this
mighty work. The true history of
Coos Bay is begun.
We believe the commission under
stands its full mission and will serve
the people well. They are not mere
ly acting for the cities on the Bay,
but for all Oregon and Idaho whose
people pray daily for the develop
ment of this harbor on the Oregon
coast. They must advance to meet
their problems without fear or favor.
It will not do to be timorous or
timid in the work. They must act
boldly. Perhaps It will not be amiss
to suggest some of the matters
which must be taken up and hand
led without hesitation or doubt.
The first thing which the com
mission may and will consider is the
financial question. It takes money
to make money and great muni
cipalities are made in this commer
cial age, not on the pittances which
their founders are able to advance
from time to time, but upon the
money which they borrow. Boston
bujlt Itself without borrowing from
abroad in two hundred and fifty
years, unicago grew to iour limes
Boston's size In sixty years on bor
rowed capital. And Chicago is none
the worse for it. Coos Bay Is in a
similar position. Does she want to
develop? Has she the capital to
force development? Has she . the
credit to borrow the capital? If she
has the credit, let her not hesitate,
because her destiny Is a great one.
Tho sum of the whole business Is
that the commission should prepare
forthwith to submit to the people a
proposition to issue from $100,000 to
$500,000 worth of bonds. It should
do so for certain well defined pur
poses and the people should bo made
to clearly understand thut the bonds
so Issued are to obtain for Coos Bay
certain very useful and valuable as
sets. The government Is not un
likely to remove the dredge which
Is now doing valiant work In the
Bay. Other places, like clamorous
children, are claiming a right to it
part of the time. Let Coos Bay have
a dredge of its own and keep the
present dredge too. Fight for It.
There should be an ample fund pro
vided to dredge out a wide and deep
channel. That will do as much good
as a railroad and will, above all
things, aid the local railroad com
pany in placing the suivey and right
of way which they propose to ac
quire, in the hands of capitalists who
will build that road. Improve the
Bay and all routes overland becomo
very valuable and In great demand.
Let the commission remember,
while their province Is apparently
confined to the Bay and water navi
gation, that their action at this time
means more than mere water trans
portation. Another thing which the Port
must wrestlo with immediately. Lot
them proceed at once and in good
faith to teat the validity of tho title
claimed by those in whose nnme tho
"mud flats" stand By what author
ity and what law do they own and
hold tide lands which are covered
twice n day with water, surrounded
entlre'y by deep water, attached to
no upland and comprising tho lnr-
gest part of the Inner bay? For
the benefit of tho Port of Coos Bay,
let this great question bo settled and
determined. The commission has no
greater protective mission.
We repeat thnt tho commission
can easily destroy and negative Its
purposo by boing timid. Courage,
nggrosslveness, onorgy nre nlono per
mlssablo at this time. The only way
to Justify the pretensions of Coos
Bay before the world and the organ-

WE SAVE YOU MONEY
Izatlon of a port before the people of
Coos Bay's cities, is to do something
and do something worth while. It
should be remembered that bonds
Issued, payable In twenty years, are
no burden to the people who Issue
them, If they expend the money pro
perly. A dredge and a deep and
wide channel are not small assets by-
any means. The annual Interest
charge is all the burden the bonds
entail except a small tax for a sink
ing fund to help pay the bonds.
But the population of Coos Bay, in
twenty years from now, provided we
get a deep and wide channel and a
railroad will be ten times what it is
at present and the valuation of Its
property at least ten times the pres
ent valuation.
Any Issue of bonds within $500,-
j.000 for a well-defined legitimate
. purpose, will be a mere bagatelle
I when tho bonds become due. If such
Is not the case then It will have
to be admitted flint Coos Bay is a
tremendous hoax instead of "a great
seaport."
