LAST CHANCE
Declared That This Harbor Af
fords Only Opportunity to
Duplicate Great Growths.
A resident of Mnrshnold who ra-
rontv visited Seattle Portland. San
'Francisco and Los AngelCB hna been
considering tho enormous growtn oi
theso four cities In the Inst ton years
nnd tho fortunes which hnvo been
mndo by reason of tho Increased
valuation of proporty caused by the
Incrcaso of tho population which wns
brought about by railroad facilities.
In discussing It, ho said:
"Seattle has a population today of
237,000; Portland has a population
of 215,000; Los Angeles a popula
tion of 310,000, and Ban Francisco a
population ot -110,000.
"Dcforo theso places had railroad
facilities thoy had a few hundred in
habitants, probably not more than
the City of Marshfleld, on Coc Bay
has today.
"The country surrounding mem
aia nf .fford the same natural re
sources for development which Coos
county does.
.ti Mimita In Seattl snd Port
land and Bin Francisco do not be
gin to compart with Coos coumy,
and while tho winters In Los An
geles may have more sunshine, the
''disagreeable summers more than
ever come the eanUfol winters and
taking It all around, Coos county's
location makes it mora desirable
and more oven tempered than any
other section of the coast.
In order to construct Seattle
enormous expensive hill sides had to
be removed and now mo oesi Vmuu
is located on almost a level grade,
whinh at one tlmo was a hillside.
Portland fared better in this re
spect. Tho principal portion of San
