HE DAY has certainty coino when tho intelligence nnd progressive
spirit of Coos Day should organize for the benefit of tho commu
nity's future. Coos Dny has had a peculiar history, lying dor
mant for ninny years and then suddenly arousing from her lcthnrgy
and plunging forward nt a paco that pluccB her niiiong the biggest little
cities In tho country. Her progress In recent years has been rcninrk
abto. This development has not been done by concerted nctlon or pub
lic spirit. Tho building of Coos Bay hns been tho result of Individual
endenvor. It Is doubtful If n hundred people lu tills community rcnllzo
tho nmotiut of work thnt has been dono by a score of men to mako this
community whnt It Is; men hnvo thought, dnred, plnnued, tolled nnd
sonio havo almost literally "sweat blood" In building up their enterprises,
and these enterprises have made this community what It Is today. Public
spirit has hnd Httlo or nothing to do with It. Coos Dny has grown to
Its present grentness In splto of tho lack of a united public sentiment
nnd In splto nlso of tho want of efficient co-oporatlon on tho pnrt of Its
citizens.
Still this community hns not been devoid of public spirit, but it hns
Incited cohesion. Individuals havo possessed It and loynlly kept It allvo
under whnt at times havo been adverse conditions. Ono of tho splendid
examples of public spirit was tho action of some hnlf-dozen prominent
citizens of Coos Dny who n few yenrs ago ncqulred tho wntor rights of
Clenr Lnko with tho solo object of holding It In trust for tho pcoplo
of this community. With commendabto foresight thoy rontlzed that tho
day was approaching when ono of tho pressing ncods of this community
would ho an adequnto Btipply of puro wntor. Acting on this knowlcdgo
they ncqulred what engineers haTO stated Is tho best source of supply
for n grnvlty wator system ln tho wholo Coos Day country. A mountnln
lako fed by mountain streams nnd lying only n mllo from tho ocean,
with snnd hills on ono sldo and a rugged forest shed on tho other
sldo, thcro Is no posslblo present or futuro contnmlnntlon. Tills superb
supply of wntor Is not to bo sold to tho city but given to It.
Tho story or this splendid exhibition of civic prldo Is worthy of being
preserved. Tho proposition originated ln a Httlo meeting nbout flvo years
ngo. Tho suggestion enmo from L. J. Simpson, Judge Coko nnd Dr. E.
Mlngiis. In n discussion of tho needs of a growing community tho wnter
problem wns mentioned. Tho necessity of nn ndcqiinto supply nt a rca
sounblo cost wns acknowledged. The poFslblllty of speculators acquiring
nil tho wntor sites nnd water rights and then using them to hold up
tho communltv for n largo sum was considered. Theso men then began
an Investigation of tho various sources of supply. Lator, J. Albert Mat
son, John Preuss, YV. V. Squlro and W. S. Chnudlcr Joined tho orlglnnl
trio. After exhaustive rcsenrch nnd Investigation the Clenr Lako supply
was sottled upon and secured. Strangoly onough tho recent Investigation
hy the Joint wntor cammUtco of Marshflold and North Dead sottled upon
this samo sourco as tho most nvallablo supply. Tho water commltteo
of tlio Marshflold city council nppronched tho men holding this valuable
concession nnd then for tho first tlmo tlio wholo story enmo out. Theso
men hnd ncqulred this wnter right not for private gain or greed but for
public sorvlco. Theso men hnvo mndo n proposition In rcsponso to tho re
quest of tho city council to turn tho wholo project over to tho city
absolutely free asking only tho actual ensh outlay that they havo
Invested In improvements without oxnctlng a ponny for Interest or
property rights or tho tlmo or personal exponso entailed In acquiring
and holding theso rights. It Is a splendid exnnipto of civic prldo and
public spirit. A community possessing men of such character nnd caliber
cannot bo suppressed. It Is tho proper spirit of communal loyalty that
supplies polso, piirposo, power and ballast and makes for progress. Tho
amount expended Is less than $5,000 whllo tho wator rights involved nro
worth from $25,000 to $100,000.
In addition to this splendid contribution to tlio community theso men
havo also applied themselves to a solution of tho present water pro
blem. Tlio suggestion has been mndo that If Mnrshflcld nnd North Dead
do not deslro to nssumo tho ontlro cost of niunlclpnl ownership nt this
tlmo that theso cities Install tholr own distributing system nnd mnko n
contrnct with n company to purchnso the wntor nt a prlco to bo based
on Fi or C por cent of tho nctual cost of Installation. In addition this
contrnct could nlso provide thnt tho city tnko over the ontlro plant nnd
wnter Biipply nt nny tlmo nt tlio nctual cost without a penny of prollt.
This nfrords nn easy solution of tho water problem without permitting
tin) taxpayers to bo held up for high prices either for wnter or plant.
Such action resolved on Is n key to tho futuro and nn oloquont omen of
n greator city and a more splendid community. .
