(Spaeial Dispatch to Tb. Jonraal.) Myrtle Point Or.. June i. Southwest -ern Oregon la attracting much atten tion nowadeya aa any other, part of the state. , The people of Coo, and Curry counties are sitting up and taking- notice -and tt "is . no Idle -prediction - that two years hence greater progress will be In eviaenoe along Industrial lines than has been made In that- section since Oregon became a part of the union. Go down to Coos and aak the cause of the present commotion. Ask the same question from Marshfleld to Gold Beach on . Rogue river and you will be told "the railroad - Is coming." Men and women will say that It will be built because agricultural, mining and lumbering developments de mand It. Marshfleld and Bandon In Coos county count upon becoming two of. the-most important ports of entry -and shipping centers on ,thePaclflo roast. Contiguous to these towns are miles of cultivated land of the richest quality, skirted by thousands of acres of the richest timber In America, but producers cannot get their goods to big markets owing " to unequaltransporta tion facilities. It is true that vessels of a limited tonnage can cross the Coos Say bar and the Coqullle river bar at Bandon but being ports of most im portance directly at the ocean aide, it cm. Junt :n JftxenjtaftsLJgj'g-;M'.i-. viewed the situation thst Coos- bay s bar should be dredged to a depth aa near 40, feet as practical, while Bandon will be satisfied with 21 or It feet..

Theyl grow old Jn Cooa and Curry coun ties, but young and old alike anxiously swait the railroad, 40 feet on Coos bay bar and 26 feet on the Bandon bar, and they will have all three. ; The health and police committee of the city council this morning began Jts work on the new building ordinance. The first suggestion Is that, providing that all: atructurea of four stories or over must ' have steel frames, and that buildings of reinforced concrete are pot to exceed eight stories In height. R. J. Grace, representing D. C. Lewi's, the architect of the proposed eight-story Lewis building ' on Fourth street, read a letter from prominent San Francisco architects to the effect that reinforced concrete is thoroughly practicable when the building la not over eight - stories. Even higher structures have been erect ed In the east of the material. A copy of the regulations on reinforced concrete recently adopted In Seattle will be ob tained In time for the next meeting of the committee, and will be copied to a certain extent. A five-story building U no erected In the city which haa no ateel frames. It Is on account of this build ing that the provisions requiring steel frames In . structures will probably be Incorporated into the new building ordtJ nance.' , ' -- Flra Chief Campbell declared that he would be thankful If he would not be required to Inspect plans of. buildings aside from fire protection standpoint in the future.'
