In This Your "Pniin"?
EDITOR TIMES:
Tho most iiBtoundlng nnd puzzling
fenturo of Coos Day is to mo its un
developed condition. I ask myself:
What Is there to show for moro than
halt a century of activity 4n this
marvolously rich country? A iow
Biiwinllls, yes, beenuse there was such
a plentltudo of virgin tlmbor and
houses wero needod. And somu
creamorles, becaiiBo hords of cows
simply turned looso on theso wondor
fully fertile bottom lands fairly burst
with butterfat and milk 75 pounds
a day per cow. And tho cow was
given tho Job to pull tho family load,
and nfterwards was forced upon hor
tho contrnct to oam from 100 to 1000
por cent Interest on tho Investments
of her boss. And very llttlo moro
was done. In splto of tho fnct that
thcro Is porhaps no placo on earth
whoro vegetables, berries and fruit
will grow moro abundantly nnd to
greator perfection than around Coos
Day, In spite of this fact", I say, thcro
aro shipped Into Coos Day seaports
from distant states nnd markotH such
life's necesBtirlcs, and tho prices nro
hluhor hero than elBowhere. What
about your "farms"?
The most sniluening ana irritating
things I havo ever seen nro somo Coos
county "farms." Prom 100 to COO
acres and moro. Stretches of won
derful rlverbottom landB, herds of
Holstelns nnd Jersoys lazily browsing
in tho siinshilno on ctnornltl meadows,
divided by rippling, silvery creeks and
streams, and rtishliiB deepwater riv
ers. Tho picture Is entrancing. Dut
look yon dor a llttlo. What Is that
ugly, hum-drum of groy bonras nna
Impassible angles? Tho fnrmhotiBO
tho outbuildings! Weill Some
40 or moro yenrs ago tlioso buildings
wero put together and It Is a fact that
not n single nail has been driven In
with nn idea to Improvo or preservo
tho structures slnco then. It is a sad
dening crime. And whon Is tho or
chard? A fow puny trees covered
with moss and sick to tho coro and
still struggling to bring forth a gold
en harvest of fruit! It Is a slu. A
farm and orchard like the nbovo In
dicated Is tho saddest thing I havo
seen around Coos Hay.
To sit down content with what tho
cow can do on unimproved Coos Hay
land, or worse yet, to content one
solf with adding to one's fortuno In
flgurcs nlono, moro nnd more, only
with each succeeding rumor of n
railroad Into this country, will not
ntono for this unpnrdonablo negli
gence. If moro Industry had been
shown and moro labor applied In this
rospect thoro would long before this
hnvo been a rnllrond to nld in recla
mation. It may not bo nmlss to say Hint
thousands of strangers nro coming to
nnd JtiBt ns quickly lenvlng Coos Hay
because thoy cannot apprehend tho
ndvortlRcd possibilities horo In viow
of whnt thoy can seo on casual obser
vance Got busy yourselves, with Im
provements nil along tho lino, you
pooplo of Coos nay. It will pay you,
bona fldo and straight. It will bring
your country into proper renown and
plnco Oregon foremost among stntoa
Let 'no moro Htrnngors put tho pain

Woodrow Wilson always comes

also In their Intelligent couservutlsui.
"Tho Amorlcan people," ho suys,
"aro too varied to run wrong. Whon
plo you combine all Interests, aud In
plo you cobblnu all Interests, and in
order to get this accumulated force
you must do tho just and equitable
thing. Tho peoplo of Amorlcu, tho

business, In legitimate business. Thoy
ara earning tholr living by their
brains uud tho sweat of tholr brow,
and you cannot make a mob out of
material of that sort. You cunnot
