"When Congress meets again and tho next river and harbor bill Is framed, I believe that -the spirit of Oregon to help herself by improve ment of her harbors, and especially the spirit of Coos Bay in forming a Port Commission so that money can be raised, will be recognized in a substantial way."

Mr. Hawlcy prefaced his remarks by outlining his general policy. He told what he had done regarding the have grazing and agricultural land In i the forest reserve tnrown open 10 settlers and his work with the de partment of agriculture ln the Inter ests of eastern Oregon. He also told what he was trying to do for the fruit growers of Southern Oregon.

All of these projects he said were ones which rightfully should be paid for by the general government and he was sure that the action of the people and the spirit shown to spend their own money on harbors would bring about the de sired help from Congress. Mr. Hawle told of the great amount of wool grown in eastern Oregon, the cattle raised there and of the wheat possibilities east of the Cascad s. He ea!d that there was a stretch of S00 miles between San Prnncloco and the big northern ports needing a big harbor outlet and that a lot of unnecessary travel north and south was required of shippers. He thought there should be a'more direct outlet and Coos Bay was the place. He urged the Coos Bay people that their success would not only mean the shipping out of raw material but that they must get manufacturers to put raw material into manufactured products. Ho told how New York City made Itself entirely by manufac turing raw material brought from elsewhere and how now wool grown In Oregon was shipped 3,000 miles while it might bo brought only 300 to a manufacturing center and a sea port. He called attention to the fact that Coos Bny had its lumbor and its brick to build big plants and Its coal to use for fuel. "All that the place needs now to make it a great city and big manu facturing point," said Mr. Hawley, "Is a railroad. And I am sure that if one big road would start with a determination of crossing the state and making this place its terminus there would soon be a second road doing the same thing.
