Tho most remarkable ono of tho trio wub tho ono written by ,1. II. Lothrop, secretary of tho traffic and trans portation bureau of tho Portland Chamber of Commerce, air. Lothrop's official position gives authority and Bignlflcanco to his statements that thoy would not otherwise- obtain. 'rVffP Exactly why air. Lothrop should resent a friendly appeal for aid and cooperation from a tributary section with such false and foolish state ments as aro contained in his communication Is not apparent. It would bo difficult to crowd Into tho samo opaco a greater mimbor of misstate ments than aro contained In air. Lothrop's letter. Tho animus and an tagonism with which ho attacks all tho ports In Southwestern Oregon is regrettable. Such an ottltudo Is not conducive to friendly feeling or trade and traffic between tho Oregon metropolis nnd tho coaBt cities of tho state. There has long been an undercurrent feeling in this section that Portland Is unnecessarily nnd unusually soUIbIi In its treatment of Coos liny and all Southwest Oregon. This sentiment has been chnnglng as n result of tho efforts of tho press ami promiuont citizens of this sec tion to cultivate a spirit of co-operation mid mutual helpfulness. air. Lothrop's letter would Indicate that tills feeling was not Bhared by Port land. . Tho amazing Ignorance of n man who Is secretary of tho traffic and transportation bureau of tho Portland 'chamber of Commcrco Is astound ing. Hero Is a man who says ho has fully Investigated tho shipping fa cilities between Portland and Coos Pay and then states tho freight rate be- twecn Coos Hay nnd San Francisco Is and Coos Hay $1 por ton. Why, air. better than that. Tho freight rato bolwcon Coos Hay and Portland is now, and Ihib been for years, Just tho same as tho San Francisco rnte, namely, $1! por ton. It Is when ho speaks of tho Port or Coos Hay and tho Coos liny bar however, that he develops tho animus which wo doploro. Horo Is what ho says: , , - 'JplJgg "Even though steamers succeed In getting out or tho Columbia Itlver or Into tho Columbia Illvor without much difficulty, thoy are pretty suro to hnvo trouble at tho eutrauco or Coos Hay. Thu bar nt tho onlrnuco or Coos Hay and other Oregon ports south of tho Columbia Hlver aro extremely. shallow nnd oven smnll bonis havo to proceed with tho greatest caution." The official government reports show tho depth or water on uio Coos Hny bar to bo 30 feet. 'Hint's what Secretary Lothrop calls "oxtromely shallow." Will Mr. Lothrop kindly Inform an expectant world what Is his Idea of deep water? S fr ! ! As to no returning enrgocs, .Mr. Lothrop Is probably unadvised of tho hundreds of tons or dairy products, coal, manufactured lumber, and agri cultural products that Coos Hay has shipped to Portland. Tho Times Is a bollover In pcaco instead of powder. It has oxcusod and defended many of Portland's apparently antagonistic nttltudes toward Coos Hay, but when u man occupying tho official position of secretary or tho traffic ami transportation bureau of tho Portland Chamber or Com merce, slums and slurs Coos Hay with such falsehoods, It Is Inexcusable E. K. Jones Is a sharpshooter on the battle front of business. Ho saw an opening thnt required bettor sorvlco for Coos Hay and fired. Tho thanks of tho people- or this community aro due him for his efficient sor vlco. .Many others havo gono gunning for tho Portland coon (In tho wood pllo), but Jones brought him down. It Portland thinks sho can gain either trailo or friendship by such act ion, sho is mistaken. And as to .Mr. Lothrop, if ho will only post up a llttlo on transportation nnd shipping wo will bo plcnscd to discuss theso questions with him, but until ho docs Portland Is hardly worthy or controversy or commcrco. Our bnr may bo ' oxtromely shallow" .Mr. Lothrop, hut Como on in; tho wntor's flno.
