SAYS COOS BAY IS
CLAIMING WHOLE COAST
Tho Umpqua Courier at Gardiner
takes exceptions to the report made
for presentation to the government
onglneers in support of cloliiis for
harbor Improvements at Coos Hay.
Tho Gardiner paper says:
" Tho Coos Hay Times of tho date
of November 20, purports to publish
ten conclusive points brought out
In a memorial to tic forwarded to
tho engineers' at Portland, which has
boon prepared by Ilonry Dlcrs for
tho Port Commissioners of Coos
Hay.. ' , ,
" Mr. Dlers claims a territory of
TOO squnro miles, with a valuation
of $30,000,000, which embraces nil
tho territory from tho Sluslaw to
tho California line and cast to tho
Coast Range, saying In his argu
ment tbnt this entlro territory looks
to Coos Hay for the outlet of Its
products.
" If tho othor nlno points of the
argument are ns exaggerated ns this
ono, It will bo a wonder If tho on
glneers will take the time to peruso
the memorial should It ever bo p re
routed. " Wo would llko to seo Coos Hay
pooplo get every dollar that they arc
nuking for the Improvement of their
harb'or but wo protest that they do
not get ono dollar on such misrep
resentations. They should get what
appropriation they nro entitled to
on their own merits, and nothing
more.
" To Includo tho o Umpqua and
Sluslaw country as dependent upon
Coos Hay for an outlet for tho prod
ucts, Is n bald-fnccd mlsrepresenta
tatlon of facts, and no olio knows It
bettor than Henry- Dlers and tho
Coos liny Port Commissioners; and
tho engineers at Portland, being fa
miliar with tho harbor conditions on
this part of tho coast, will readily
boo through tlio Imposition."
After making further comment
tho paper says In conclusion:
