CITIES AND
"H
OW Big Cltios nro Dareloped from Small Towns," 1b tho tltlo of
a booklot Issued by William
that Tho Times hna been for
Coos Bay. It Is to tho offect that cltios nro mado by tho mon In them,
that they becorao groat or small according to tho will, brains, and ontor
prlso of their Inhabitants. That optimism, team work and faith aro es
sentials, and self sacrifice, civic prldo and loyalty lndlsponslblo.
Tom Richardson, tho famouB booster on his first visit to Coos Bay, told
tho samo truth In nnothor form. Like ovcryono who sees this section
for tho first tlmo, Richardson was Impressed nnd surprised at tho richness
nnd extent ot tho resources, "but," ho said In his talk to tho peopio,
"resources novor hnvo mado n city nnd never will. Men population
mako cities."
It Is the samo Idea in nnothor form. It is a truth that cannot bu
gainsaid. Coos Bay's future Hcb with Its cltlzona. As thoy provo them
selves capablo or Incapable so will tho city grow or mark tlmo. As they
solve tho problems presented, tho dovolopmont of tho country, Us natural
resources and Its settloment, Just so will this city prosper. Any destiny
awaits It that Its progressive peopio dotormlno upon. As Mr. Parker
truly cays:
Whorovor men say n city Blinll bo built, on that spot It will roar Ub
towers and domes. It may not bo tho spot most favored by nature, but
If It Is tho spot determined upon by men, tho city will nrlso out of tho
magic of men's activities.
Tho most favored spot In tlio world would, never becomo a city If men
shunned ft.
Tho only limitations upon tho growth of a city, as history proves, aro
those fixed by tho peopio who compono that city.
Cities grow into greatness nnd maintain It, according to tho faith and
works of their people CIUcb slip backward and fall Into decay or dis

Tho sito of tho grcatost city that tho world over bow 1b now a tonnnt
