Oregon-Idaho Development
Congress Will Come to a

"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."
This was the statement of Con-

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.
Touching upon the harbor ques-
tion Mr. Hawley said that Coos Bay c s jacSon p,l0lisher of the Port
had formed a harbor commission and and Journalp and Hon BInger Her
would raise $500, OpO, the Slushy 'man of Roseburg.
port commission had been formed
and $100,000 will be made available
there and that work was to be done
in Tillamook. 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.
"1 have no reason for showing a
preference for any railroad builder
but I must say that I think James J.
Hill Is an empire maker and I would
like to see him secure a right of
way over the Cascades along the
north fork of tho Umpqua river

he had when he opposed Jerome at

COQUILLE, Ore., Aug. 21. Ho
mer Leep, charged with passing
worthless checks on the Blanco hotel
at Marshfleld and on Coqullle Valley
firms, was yestorday bound over to
the Circuit Court by Judge F. Hall,
His ball was fixed at $300. His
ability to furnish depends on what
action his father, Dr. Leep of Eu
gene, takes.
.eep was found to bo passed tho
juvenile court ago limit. While Dr.
Leep has made good all the bad
checks that his son passed, It Is un
derstood that Prosecuting Attorney
Liljeqvlst will insist that tho
charges against young Leep bo pro-
secuted
As Leep has admitted his
crimes, this will mean that ho will
probably recelvo a penitentiary sen
tpnee. An effort will probably bo
made to secure his -release under
parole.
