THE DRAWBACK
OF
COOS MY
Dr. E. Mingus Writes About
Handicap of Harbor and
Commercial Development.
Editor Times: Tho Railway nnd
Marino News of Scattlo prints tho
following:
"Negotiations for tho construction
of a big terminal company, to bo lo
cated on tho north end of Harbor
Island, Soattle, which havo beon car
ried on for somo tlmo between Now
York capitalists and prominent Sc
attlo business men, havo been con-
eluded, and tho proposition has been
given wldo publicity by tho Seattlo
newspapers.
"A tcntntlvc agreement has been
drawn up by tho Now York financiers
on ono side, by Scott Calhoun, coun
sel for tho Port of Scattlo Commis
sion, on tho other side: This agree
ment has been placed beforo tho Port
Commission, and an effort Is mow be
ing mado to adjust tho matter and
to placo tho proposition beforo tho
votors for their approval on March
Cth.
"Tho agreement in brief provides
for tho purchnBo by tho Port Com
mission of 112 'A ncrcs of laud on
Harbor Island, by condemnation or
otherwise, and for tho construction
of six H 00-foot piers, thrco of theso
plors to bo constructed without dolay,
nnd tho other thrco to bo built with
in thrco years. Theso plors and tho
land acquired by tho port nro to bo
leased for a period of 30 years to tho
terminal company, who In turn
agrees to construct at ouco eight six
story wnrohouses, 30 1-story ware
houses, 75x100 feet, 30 1-story ware
houses, 100x100 foot, tun uillos of
railroad, harbor equipment such as
tugs, llghtors, etc., rati equipment,
four Industrial buildings, approxl
niatcly 700 foot long and contain
ing 1,200,000 sq, ft. of door spaco
and n permanent concroto bulkhead
along tho cntlro wntor front of tho
land to bo acquired, all of which
will provide for an cxpondlturo of
$2,575,000.
"Tho terms of tho lcaso, tenta
tively ngrccd upon between tho ter
minal pooplo nnd tho Soattlo business
mon nnd Mr. Calhoun, aro considered
very satisfactory, and It Is hoped that
tho Port Commission will back up tho
business mon of Seattlo and Mr. Cal
houn In tholr efforts to land this big
improvement, and submit tho propo
sition to tho votors for their approv
al. Among tho shipping mon, nnd In
fact, among business mon In all
walks of life, this Is considered tho
groatost opportunity In tho history of
Seattle It means commorclnl su
premacy for any const city securing
this big tormlnnl company. Moro
than this, it moans that in deciding
upon Seattlo as tho location for this
company tho promoters bollovo this
to bo tho focal point of tho const for
business In tholr lino. For many
months a roprcsontntlvo of tho torml
nnl pooplo has boon Investigating
-conditions on tho Pacific coast, and
lins roportcd to his principals tho ad
visability of selecting tho Harbor Isl
and slto.
"Tho port of Tncoma Is making u
dotormlnod offor to sccuro this big
tormlnnl compnny, nnd is offortng In
ducomontu oven grontor than Seat
tle During tho conforonco recently
uoui in wow vorK sovornl promlnont
business mon presented n nronasltlon
that Is said to havo been very attract
ive to mo tormlnnl peoplo, and It Is
stated by tho Seattle men who wero
present Hint any slip upon tho pnrt of
Soattlo will mean that Tncoma will
bo tho slto solccted.
"Tho Sonttlo business men, who
wont to Now York to represent tho
city at tho conforonco, wero Presi
dent Low in a n, of tho Chnmbor of
Commerco, Judgo Thomas Ilurko,
Capt. JamcH S. Gibson, Joseph Illeth
on, J. T. Hollornnn, Scott Calhoun
una w. w. uunpm. Titroinn was
ropresontod by Chester Thome, Gen.
Ashton, V. J. Jones nnd ono or two
othors.
"It. P. Ayres, recontly vlco-prcl-tlont
and manager of tho Hush Tor
mlnnl Co., has resigned, nnd hatt
beon oloctod presldont of the now
compnny. Mr. Ayres will bo In Soit
tlo early next weok, and nt that time
will enter Into II mil negotiations with
tho Port Commission regarding tho
lease and other urrangumonts.
"Hallway & Marino News, In Its
Issuo of Oct. in, 11)11, published an
Illustrated article on tho Hush ter
minals In Now York, In which the
shipping problem of thnt city was de
scribed. What tho Hush tormlnul has
dono for
benttlo."
Now York it enh do for"
No doubt other tormlnnl compa
nies of largo financial standing and
commercial influence will scok tho
Pacific coast within thorioxt three
years to secure dcslrablo locations
nnd It Is a great mlsfortiirio that
Coos Day with Its assured ,rallwny
connections Is not In a position, on
account of Insufficient waterway im
provements, to command some rec
ognition from commorclnl enter
prises asking for waterway accoiu
modnttons, nnd I do not suppose that
Coos Day will over bo In a position
to ask for anything as long as somo
jonlous minded citizen can keep de
velopments bnck by resorting to legal
technicalities and obstructive mon
sures. Tho port of Coos Day is thrco
yenrs old nnd has not been ablo to do
anything of any consoqounco on ac
count of harassing and Incessant pet
ty attacks of a legal naturo. Twlco
tho samo enso has been through tho
Supremo Court nnd onco through tho
Federal Court and now on nccount of
tho persistent cussedncss of ono or
two individuals In their conduct tow
nrd tho work of tho Port Commission
nnother round through tho Supremo
Court must tako its courso, present
ing tho samo stato of facts that havo
been passed on boforo; just child's
work, Just tho whim and Jonlous
mind of ono or two. In tho mean
time who Is paying tho bill? Tho
people, of courso; tho legnl expense
Is n small Item compnro.l with the
loss of business duo to unimproved
ship channel. Today Coos Hay ought
to have a 12 fi-foot channol from
Mnrshfleld to the bar and would have
It I'ltid not tho work of tho port been
dofonled by neoJIess an 1 obstructive
legal proceedings. Ships nrrlvo
hero nnd ask for a full cargo but nro
tumble to take It for t! o reason t'.int
cur channel Is Insufficient. Tho gov
ernment Is willing to improve our
rhnunol outside of Its own project nt n
maximum cost of six cents per cubic
yard, but tho port cannot take nd
vantngo of tho splendid offer, ex
cept in a feoblo way, for tho reason
thnt tho port has no money nnd enn
not got It on nccount of silly legal
procoodlngs, just becnuso ono man
has porsonnl objections to nnotlior.
ELECTION III
CI1Y CHANGED
(Continued from p&go 1.)
There linn novor been any Justifiable
roason why this lltlgntlon should
havo been kept up; tho opponents of
tho port not only havo failed to mako
out n enso but It has boon n strtiK
glo with them to keep In court at nil.
In vlow of all tho ovldonco ono Is
constrnlncd to fcol thnt tho oppon
ents In tho lognl controversies of tho
port must bo looked upon as having
o. poor knowlcdgo of law or playing
tho part of hypocrisy. Tho tost enso
tnstjtutcd by tho port for tho purpoeo
of establishing its constitutional
rights covered all tho necessary
points as ovldonccd by tho successful
snlo of tho Port of Sluslaw aftor tho
decision of tho Supromo Court In tho
Port of Coos liny enso. Por nil nee
ossnry purposes this ought to have
sufllcod, but somo astuto citizens of
Coos Hay felt that things woro mov
ing too rnpldly for tho safoty of
tholr prestlgo so tho brakes woro ap
plied. Can it bo that ono of tho
pnrtloB of tho opposition who has be
como mentally cnfeeblod la tho victim
of mlsguldnnco, thnt In tho decline
and tottorlng enrcor of his mentul
nctlvlty ho was easily swayed by
projudlco, that tho dimness of his
ngo had despoiled his understanding?
Por tho moro rntlonnl momboru of
tho opposition I hopo they will hot
havo tho temerity, when tho final
count Is mndo in favor of tho port, to
attempt to Justify tholr conduct by
tho claim that they woro only Inter
ested In clearing up tho situation so
tlioro would bo no doubt about tho
legality of tho Port of Coos liny.

Well Received at Initial

Miss Gladys Ilrockwoll and hor

nppenranco beforo n crowded house
at tho Masonic thontor last evening.
Thoy woro received with cordial ex
pressions of approval that must hnvo
proven plenBlng to all tho mombors
of tho company.
Tho compnny Is not an nil star ag
gregation, but considering tho brief
porlod permitted for rohearsals gave
a satisfactory performance Miss
aindys Ilrockwoll mndo now friends
by her sweetly sympathetic lmper-i
sonntlon of "Merely Mary Ann" and
If hor support nt all times was not
adequnto it did not noticeably mar
tho entertainment. A very pleasing
feature of tho evening was tho stago
settings, which were really artistic,
only thing necessary to submit to a
oto of tho people would bo an
amendment to tho charter providing
jior primary nominating elections In
stead or tho old caucus system of
nominating.
Councilman Copplc said that his
object in introducing it now was to
hnvo tho matter changed beforo tho
next jalcctlon. Mayor Straw laugh
ingly remarked that ho wanted It
changed too, because the Inst election
was too ploso to auft him.
Tho other mombcrs of tho coun
cil expressed tthomsolves In favor of
tho proposed chnnges In tho city
election system and for a tlmo it was
thought that It, would bo dono by tho
council ltsolf Instead of being sub
mitted to a. vote of tho peoplo. Mr.
Copplq said thnt if the council would
do it, ho hnd no desire to try to
forco It to nn election.
Mnyor Straw said that ho would
llko to sec tho primary system of
nomlnntlug candidates also adopted
as well as tho other changes mndo
and finally It was decided to hnvo the
amendment to the charter providing
for tho primary nnd tho other elec
tion chnnges submitted nt tho next
election.
Other ltiislnc.is Up.
Hugh McLnln entered n protest
over tho dolay In collecting tho lis-
Fcssmcnts for tho Improvement of
North Ccdnr street. He said that tho
dolavs looked frivolous to him nnd
as ho had waited three or four years
for tho $2000 or so duo him for Im
proving tho street, ho thought some
thing should bo dono. City Attorney
Gosb explained that ho was trying to
cxpcdlto mutters as much as possi
ble,, but that E. L. C. Farrln, tho at
torney who Is holding tho matter
bnck, had wlrod at tho last torm of
court that ho could not como hero
fpr tho trial as ho had an nttnek of
appendicitis.
McLnln snld this was not correct ns
ho had soon Mr. Farrln walking
around n Portland nt tho tlmo ho
wan su ((posed to hnVo appendicitis.
Furthermore ho said it seemed
strnngo thnt Mr. Fnrrln had b?on act
ing Kb city attornoy when this Im
provement wns started and was now
attornoy for tho peoplo who wero
holding back the payment for tho
work.
Mr. Cobs snld thnt Mr. Farrln had
promised to como hero soon to try
tho enso. Mayor Straw said that ho
did no, believe Mr. Farrln wav com
ing at nil. Finally Mr. (less said
that ho would mako nnother effort
to forco tho enso to trial so thnt Mr
McLnln could get his money.
Contrnctor Morrlssey ams rrdorod
paid $250 on tho Hull nviuie Im
provement. Contrnctor McLnln wni ordorcd
pnld $10 on his Donnelly avenuo con
tract. It wns decided to try to ninend
tho charter so that tho city recorder
could honcoforth purchnso abstracts
ot owueshlp of property for assess
ments from tho abstract companies

tho long dolnys sometimes Incurred
In getting them from tho county
clork.
Miirxlcn Hiilldlng.
Councilman Savage said that there
had been many complaints registered
shout tho addition which Robert
Mnrsden was building to tho Grand
thentor. Ho said that mnny soemed
to think It was not going to bo fire
proof and was In violation of tho city
building ordinance Ho oxplnlned
thnt tho addition would bo of cor
tugated Iron exterior, plastered and
would hnvo n pnpor roof and thai It
would bo In compliance with tho
building ordinance City Building In
spector Trlbbey oxplnlned thnt tho
tulldlng would comply with tho build-
lug ordinance, ns tho council hnd In
terpreted It a few days ago In tho
enso of J, A. Davis. Tho councilman
fitatCil that If the building was to bo

ing ordlnnnco thoro wns nothing to
