111: CAMl IX AlRGl'ING
Do calm In arguing; for fierceness makes
Error a fault, nnd truth discourtesy.
Why should 1 feel another nuin's mistakes
Jloro than his fickleness or poverty!
In love I should; but anger is not lovo.
Nor wisdom neither therefore gently move.
Ho useful where thou llvcst, that thoy inny
lloth wnnt and wish thy pleasing prcsenco still
Kindness, good parts, great places, aro tho way
To compass this. Find out men's Wonts and Will,
And nioot them hero! All worldly Joys srow less
To tho one of doing kindnesses.
T
HAT was a ronmrknblo letter,
1110 limes last evening. 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
