000S BAy LUMBER DEAL IS
SI 10 BE MORE EXTENSIVE
Rumor That Menasha Wood-
enware Company Will Buy
Simpson Holdings.
HENRY HEWITT, JR., -.
LIKELY, IN DEAL
t -. 'Jii
Official Statement of Matter
Can't Be Obtained For a
Few Days.
Folio Ins up the repoit, on the
Bay yc 'er'lf v that the .tfelson Lum
ber Compai y had acquired the North
Bend Lumber mill, another rumor
was afloat this morning that tho
Menasha Woodenware Company was
negotiating for tho purchase of the
entire holdings of the Simpson Lum
ber Company on Coos Bay. Pend
ing the return of L. J. Simpson from
San Francisco, which will probably
be on the Redondo this week, no of.
flclal confirmation or denial of tho
rumors can be obtained.
The Menasha Woodenware Com
pany has extensive holdings of tim
ber in this section. The Smith family
which controls the Menasha Wood
enware Comnany, are relatives of
Henry Hewitt, Jr., of Tacoma, own
er of the Coos Bay Gas and Electric
Company. Mr. Hewitt ls also un
derstood to"be Interested in the
Nelson Lumber Company or closely
allied with them so that the con
summation of the reported deals
would mean a realization of the
hopes that Henry Hewitt, Jr., and
Seymour H. Bell have entertained
since they became interested in Coos
Bay.
Last year when Mr. Hewitt was
here, he personally took up the big
deal with Capt. A. M. Simpson, L.
J. Simpson and Elijah Smith of the
Southern Oregon Company, At that
time, Mr. Hewitt wanted to merge
the Southern Oregon and Simpson
companies and put in motdern mills
here that would rival or excel the
C. A. Smith plant. He stated that
if this was done, he would also put
on a foreign line of steamers and
market most of his output in the
Orient.
Of course, the rumor of the pres
ent deals have grown in transmis
sion and some have it1 all consum
mated but as near as The Times can
ascertain, there is nothing definite
on the matter. Negotiations have
been on but whether they have been
closed or not, it Is not believed that
anyone on Coos Bay knows.

Will Perfect Organization of
Club For, Advancement of
Coos Bay.
A genei.il meeting of the young
men of Cooa Bay has been called for
tonight at the Maishfleld Chamber
of Commerce to perfect tho organiza
tion of a Piogrcsstve Coos Bay Club.
This was decided upon at a fairly
well attended meeting last evening.
The name of the club has not been
determined, this being left to the
decision of the members atter they
haves perfected ,an organization.
F. J. Feenfiy presided as chajrman
of last everiltlg's meeting and there
were talks by a number on the work
that such an organization "might ac
complish. J. D. Goss, Claude Nas
burg, Tom Bennett, Wilson Kauf
,man, O. W. Briggs, F. S. Dow, Attbr
I ney 'Graves and Dr. J. T. McCormac
' were among the speakers. '
Dr. Ji T. McCormac, president of
the Marshfleld Chamber of Com
merce, said that the uniting of the.
young men of Coos-Bay-into an or
ganized effort to promote the wel
fare of Coos Bay was something that
he and the other members of the
Chamber of Commerce had long de
sired. He said that it was a step
that meant much to Coos Bay. He
said that while the young men had
always been willing to assist the
Chamber of Commerce lnlts under
takings, there had never been a
united effort ons the!rf part. He said
that the members of the Chamber of
Commerce were the older business
men and that they felt that It was
tlirie that the younger men should
step In and takCj up some of the bur
Jden. He said that the Chamber of
I Commerce would give them every as
sistance possible and would be glad
ito turn the advancement work over
'to them whenever it was desired.
He said that the- Cljambe.xf Com
merce rooms were always at the
disposal of the young men.
R. O. Graves Wilson , Kaufman
and J. D. Goss spoke on the benefits
of an organized effort on the part ot
the young men. It was pointed out
that the new organization "would not
conflict in any way wltji the Chamber'
of Commerce but would widen that;
organization' field and assist In ac
complishing something for ttie gen-eral-good.
It is expected that at tonight's
meeting, various committees will
have perfected their reports so that
the permanent organization may be
effected.

W. A. Gates of California, Tells
Charity Conference of
Danger to Coast.
(By Associated Press.)
BUFFALO, N. Y., June 11. That
"Iminigration from the Orient to this
country Is worked up by steamship
lines and assisted by emigiatlon
agencies there organized," is the
charge made by W. Almont Gates,
secretary of the State Board of
Charities and1 Coirection of Califor
nia ill an addres., before the Na
tional Conference of Charities and
Correction here. Mr. Gates sees a
veritable "yellow peril" to tho civi
lization on the Western Coast of the
United States, unless the Oriental
Immigrant is denied admission to
these shores.
He said in pait: "Conditions of
living in Oriental countries are very
much harder than in America. Cen
turies of toil and privation have
trained the Oriental to do the largest
amount of work nt the least cost of
subsistence. American conditions of
living are exploited In the Orient and
immigration to this country is work
ed up by the steamship lines and as
sisted by emigration agoncles there
organized.
"Chinese Immigration to California
commenced with tho days of gold
rind continually Increased until stop
ped by the exclusion law of 1882, at
which time the annunl Increase of
Chinese exceeded that of the white
race. Then the Japanese commenc
ed to arrive, and from 1900 to 190S,
one hundred and nine thousnnd were
admitted through the- Custom
Houses. There are now In this coun
try, approximately, four hundred and
seventy-six thousand Orientals,
eighty-five per cent of whom are on
the Pacific coast and Hawaii.
"When the Oriental arrives he
must find work.1 and to get it will
under-bid all others. Even then It
Isi the highest wage he ever earned.
He gets employment, first in the low
est fields of' labor, works long hours
and does fair worlc, so Intrenching
hlihselfi Then' he strikes to exclude
all white men, after which higher
wages are demanded, and next he
demands the management of the bus-1
iness. Japanese capital Is now mak
ing investments, especially In the
purchase of farm lands. If this con
tinues, in time he will own tho best
farm lands, and crowd out complete
ly, tho white farmer. The white pop
ulation protests against driving out
the white man from the farm, hither
to the nurture field of the best Amer
ican manhood.
"The Oriental-comes hero, not for
a home, put-for. gold. Ho has sent
to the Orient over eight hundred
million' dollarsrln.' the last thirty
years.' 'Ho brings with him centu
ries ot superstition and i prejudice.
His moral .standards aro lowi; usual
lyrhe has. no- family. According ito
the census of 1900, tone out of eight
een of iho Chlnesoiof this country
ahd one. outf of 'twenty-four of tho
Japanese ore females. Of these-wo
mep but few nr'vlrtuouBl' Most are
prostitutes and 'some are slaves,
bought and'BoId'as'chattels.
"Tho white man cannot build a
home, care fora wife dnd children,
perform the duties of an American
citizen and compete-for his dally.
bread with this wifeless, childless
yellow man.
''The, white and yellow races -havo
now met .on the Pacific, and the con
test for supremacy has commenced,
What the results will ho( -we cannot
tell, We aro certain, however, that
our duty lies In preserving
thoso
ideals of
this Christian civilization
which aro the foundation stones of
the Republic. To do this, the Orlen-.a
tal Immigrant must bo denied ad
mission to these shores."
