tho reason that the pruseut fair

by tho High school boys for Utah
tu-liool athletics and wu consider
tho Krouuds a valuable asset to

There Is no other suitable place
thnt could be at tho present, time

tho time and expense required to

C. A. Smith Expects Wireless
from the Adeline Smith
in Short Time.
"We are expecting dally to hear
from tho Adeline Smith by wire-1
less," remarked C. A. Smith today,
in talking of tho coming of tho big,
new vessel. "She should bo In ,
range of some of the trans-Pnclllc j
steamers, which could rolny her
messages. Wo originally llguretl on '
her reaching horo about February
11'. but on a trip of 5. 500 miles,1
thoro might bo n difference of a few

Smith, Blnco ills arrival, has boon '

boon taken advantage of by him to
visit tho logging enmps and new I
railway beyond Myrtle Point. Ma
has boon out with A. II. Powers three
dnys and hns taken many long
Jaunts nfoot through tho woods that'
surprised oven Mr. Powers. Uc Is1
In excellent honlth. '
When asKcd If thoro was anything
new In the company's plans here, Mr.
Smith stnted thnt they wore busy
completing work outlined sometime
ago. Ho said It was slowly Hearing
completion and that it looked as
though thoy would have tho now
pulp mill In operation within the;
twelve months ho had originally
llgured on.
Mr. Smith stated that ho expect

nnd tho plans they oro working on

that everyone luternsted In Coos

bilities have so long sought."
Sure of UoMilts.
"When l was In San Francisco,
soiuo of tho loiters and messages
and newspaper commeutH that
touched us on what tho delegation
to Washington would accomplish
wore very discouraging and some
on Coos Hay even went so fur ns
to Intimate thnt thoro was no use
In going to Washington.
"While In tho Flood building nuo
day talking with C .1. Mlllls. ho
asked mo what I would do If the
others derided not to go.
" 'Why. I will go alone.' I re
plied, 'l have my transportation
and also enough of my own money
In my pocket to pay my other ex
penses. I am going to Washington
even If 1 have to go alouo. I will
have Congressman llawley Intro
duce mo to the engineers nnd tell
my own story In my way about tho
needs of Coos Hay. Tho way I size
It up Is this; Thin hoard is select
ed by tho goneral-lu-chlof and It Is
their duty to Improve tho wntor
ways of the United Statos. Whon
a delegation comes from such a
groat distance and presents n mat
tor before thorn such as tho Coos
Hay delegation ci.n do, there Is no
question In my mind but that we
will got a hearing nnd get rosultx.
Hecnuso tho hoard of ouglueors
would not he Justified In turning
down tho urgent requests of a del
egation who represent tho people
or Coos Hay. especially whon tho
harbor Is In such serious and dan
geroiiH condition. Those men know
their business. About thnt there Is
no question. There Is nothing that
would Justlfv thom in refusing ns
aid; If they did. how would thoy
answer to their superiors In cuse
of a serious accident resulting In
loss of llfo and property?'
' When 1 told him this. Mr. Mlllls
Immediately offered to have the
Southern Pacific pay nil my ex
penses, both going and coming and
to pay my wagon while I was gone."
Cnpt. Macgenn has Just received
a letter from Dr. Coo, the head of
the Progressive party In Oregon,
stating that' he had received a let.
ter from Colonel Koosovolt, relative
to Captain aMcgenn's visit at Sag
amore Hill. Colonel ltooseelt has
requested Dr. Coo to meet Captain
Mntgeiiu soon and the latter thinks
that Colonel Koosevolt must have
. read aomo of the poetry that he
Heft with him at Oyster Hay.
"With the Port Commission thor
I oughly orgauUed and the Jetty as
sured, it Mill not be necessary for
other citizens to push the harbor
matters." concluded Captain Mac

this, Mr. Green mado n short tnlk,
In which he said it was very essen
tial to got busy now. Ho said that
he noticed that cities .generally nro
not built whoro conditions are most
favorable. Ho cited Modesto and
Stockton. Cal.. as examples of this.
Modesto hns a lino natural site nnd
Stockton u poor one. but tho en
ergy of tho citizens or Stockton hns
developed n thriving largo city,
wlillo Modosto Is comparatively a
small place. Uo said that while
some Marslilleld pooplo might think
that a city Is certain to bo built
hero. It might not lie If they do not
take the proper stops to see that It
Is. Ho said the business men of
Marslilleld woro easy quick to pnss
on a cleanly cut buslnesa 'imposi
tion and would Jlbornlly subBcrlbo
If approached, lie said that during
January, tho two banks, tho Oregon
Power Company and tho C. A.
Smith Company woro tho only ones

nnd tint money was needed at onco
to go ahead.

on the present quarters would bo ad
vanced. Thoy nre now paying !
A. II. Powers said that owing to tho
excellent room nnd central location,
ho wna In favor of paying considera
bly more. If necessary, to retain It,
and nrrangoiuonts niny bo mado
wheroby both tho Chanibor of Com

day bo declared for tho ovont locally
lit order that nil might turn nut In

A. II. Powers said that he did not
think it would be n good Idea to stop
work for the event or do anything to
Interofere with those who wishod
to work. Ho said that tho groatest
celebration was tho din of busy mills
and workshops nnd such a one would
bo a fitting welcome to tho vossel
thnt was doslgned for commercial
purposes. Ho said It would bo nlco
for all who could conveniently got
away from business to turn out and
welcome the vessel.
1. S. Kaufman and others took tho
aauio view. Ivy Condron scornod
the suggestion of offering n prize
to got pooplo to doeornto tholr
launches. Ho said that tho pooplo
ought to have enough pride to do It
and be Inspired by something great
er than $10 or l."i.
F. A. Tledgon. Dr. MIngus and
Henry Sengstacken thought that all
who could, should meet the Adeline
In special boats and escort her up
the Hay.

mittee should be appointed to see
