GOVERIIilll WILL "
PROBABLY FORTIFY
COOS BAY HARBOR
Grooving: Importance of 'The
Midway" Seaport 3Iakes
Protection a Prjme
Necessity.
Ci?o Bay, Or", Nov. 21 Unprotected
from a military standpoint for years,
tb harbor at Coos Bay, on the toutbern
Oregon coast, is to be fortified and the
dream of the people of thia locality, to
see a battery atand guard at Cooa Head,
the high promontary at the entrance of
the bay, fa to be reallced. The uovern
ment 1b to construct the fortifications,
which will be manned by aa artillery
comrjany of the Oregon national ruard.
Sometime ago the war department
made the proposition to the Pacific
coast states to establish fortifications
at unprotected points where a battery
of the national guard could be organised.
"With this plan In view General FInser
recently visited Coos Bay. He found
ideal conditions - both for making the
fortifications and for ' the organization
of a battery of state artillery.
Coos Bay occupies an important sta
getic position. It Is situated ISO miles
south of Astoriaand 400 miles .north
of San Francises It has the only coal
supply -In any , Quantity on the Pacific
coast, south of Puget sound. The en
trance presents an ideal location for a
fort. The government has a land re
serve of about 120 acres in the vicinity.
On the north side of the bar is a low
and spit on Which is located the life
saving station, and the government
works uaed in constructing the Jetty.
South of the entrance to the bay is
Coos Head. This is a point which forms
the south side of the harbor entrance
and which is the beginning of a long
rock plateau extending for some dis
tance down the coast The government
owns Coos Head and the adjoining
land. It Is a natural fort High above
the water, it affords a view of the
ocean for miles, and guns located on
these rocks would command a wide
scope. A reef of small rocks bordering
the coast and in the water serves to
make the place impossible to reach ex
cepting by crossing the bar.
While the fortifications could never
be reached from the ocean, they would
be easy of aocess once Inside the bar.
From a point on the lower bay it is
only a gradual climb for a body of
men to reach this miniature Gibraltar.
The fortification and local artillery
company would result in several ad
vantages to this locality. They would
give Coos Bay more prestige as a sea
port j the battery of artillery would a-iv
the young men of the Coos Bay coun
try a military training; an armory
would be built and regular army offi
cers wobld train the recruits. ' The
state would provide tbe armory build
ing and a site for it would probably
be donated by the local people.
The organisation would be of great
advantage In case of riots or other lo
cal disturbance. Coos Bav is at pres
ent without any state militia protection.
Should assistance of that kind be need
ed it would be necessary to .transport
them 60 miles over rough mountain
roads from Boseburg or by boat from
Portland, an undertaking expensive and
almost too slow to be effective.

Dallas, Or., Nov. il. In marked con
trast to the period of quiet just pre
ceding the national election is the spirit
of Industry now prevailing in all lines
of manufactures and trade in Polk
county. On all sides is the cry for
more laborers to meet the demands of
the mills and factories. Merchants re

planting their crops, and a spirit of
prosperity abides with all.
In Dallas the macadam work on the
principal business streets of the city
is almost completed. Eight blocks have
been placed . in excellent shape, and
in the spring the work will be resumed.
The contractors In charge of the new
sewer system for Dallas will have com

which time over five miles of sewer
will be laid In the city.
The sawmill plants of the Willam

Pendleton, Nov. 21. Contrasted with
conditions of the last . yea,r, business
conditions In Pendleton and Umatilla
are very satisfactory, although there Is
practically no change In the conditions
Immediately before the election.
Woolgrowers feel good over the re
sult of the election and are now devot
ing their energies to prevent any re
vision of the tariff on that commodity
at the coming session of congress. The
farmers are all satisfied,- the more so
because of splendid weather conditions
as the result of which the grain of the
county ts generally in line shape.
The committee in charge of the
woolen mill proposition, which Is being
financed by local people, is meeting with
good support
Merchants, generally, are pleased with
business, although during the weeks
just preceding election and the two
weeks following the city's trade was
considerably jess than usual. This is
accounted for by the fact that shortly
prior to the election all business was
greater than ever before in the city's
nimory.
There are practically no idle men In
the city, and the announcement of the
new O. R. A N. depot and the track
changes in the local yards, at a total
expenditure of 140,000, insure a ood de

Heavy Building Work Is Re
sumed; Industries Plan
to Enlarge.
(Special North west Correspondence.)
Grants Pass, Or. Nov. 21. The bet
tering of conditions In Grants Pass and
Josephine county, since the election, Is
manifested principally In the lumbering
and mining industries, these being the
principal industries of the county. The
several lumber mills And a better market
for their product and a better price for
the lumber. About 16,000.000 feet of
lumber was sawed by the mills here
this summer, nearly all of which bas
been hauled to the central yards in
this city. The placing of this upon
the market will have a stimulating ef
fect on local trade. -
Tbe raise in value of mining' securi
ties and stocks has been a boon to
mining companies operating in this dis
trict as the disposal of large blocks
of stock will make it possible for them
to continue development and operation.
A specific instance of this is that of
the Almeda Mining company, which is
placing a 100-ton smelter on its prop
erties on Rogue river, and this past
week mads plans to install a huge
power plant. The Golden Drift Mining
company, American Gold Fields com
pany and others that depend upon east
ern capital, and which have been idle
for the past 14 months, are preparing
to resume worn.

Railway company, which proposes to
build an electric line from Grants Pass
to Illinois valley, and which was at a
Standstill during tne summer, Decaoee

In the matter of building and general
improvement,- the election haa had prac
tically no effect as nearly all of this
was well under way long before elec
tion occurred. Business men report an
increase of trade during the past few
weeks, but this ts usual - at this time

Culdesac, Idaho, Nov, 21. -Two gangs
of men, working day and night shifts,
are rushing the work of ballasting ths
Northern Pacific line, now In course of
construction from this point to Grange
vllle. The cltlsens of that city are very
enthusiast ip over the advent of the new
road, as It will offer a much better out
let for the extensive produce of the far
reaching, productive valleys tributary
to Grangevllle, that heretofore have
been shipped after a long haul over the
road along the Clearwater river.

ciate the improved means of transpor
tation as doui caiue ana nogs, or wnicn
many thousands are raised In this coun
try, shrink materially with the Ion
cross-country drives to railroad ship
ping points, to say nothing of the val

In,' It is expected that not more than
two weeks will be required to put the
road in operation.
Vollmer Yards Congested.
Vollmer, Idaho, Nov. 21. The eon-
fested condition of freight traffic at
his point will, If it continues, jiecessl
tate the Increase of both yard, and
storage facilities. Although Vollmer is
yet a young town, It Is fast becoming
an important shipping point.
Tne export or wneai aione win proo
ftbly be larger this year than from any
other town in the country. The won
derful fertility of the soil has pro
duced such crops that the attention of
msny well-to-do farmers In Washington
and Oregon has been directed here and a
substantial increase In the acreage of
tilled 'and is assured.
Several thousand tons of high-grade
timothy hay will be shipped from here
for the consumption of the coast cities,
while the export of wheat, barley, oats
and flax will reach fully 1,500,000 bush
els. Cattle for Big Markets.
Arrow, Idaho, Nov. tl. Twenty-five
carloads of cattle have passed through
here during the past week en route for
Montana, where, together with other
cattle from northern Idaho and eastern
Washington, they will be put in condi
tion for the Chicago market.
The bulk of these cattle are being
shipped to tho Big Hole Basin', where
feed and water are plentiful, the condi
tions for fattening stock especially fa
vorable and shipping facilities unusual
ly good.
It is understood that Bales and Jones
of Lewlston have already shipped over
8,000 head and that they expect to have
at least 4,000 head In the basin during
the winter.
Reports from that section state that
over 20,000 head of stock will winter in
Big Hole; will be put In condition for
the market, and will be shipped out
early In the spring, consigned to Chi
cago and other eastern cities, as well
ns Seattle and points on Puget sound.
It is stated by beef experts that the
stock raised In the northern districts
in superior in quality and stsnds the
long railroad shipment better than that
which is raised in the southern states.

country around Kennewick promises to
become one of the great sections of the

ima people which has just investigated
that section looks for great develop

sets of the place are summed up as fol
lows: Five thousand acres of the most
productive and sightly land In the val
ley, four railroads, a waterway to the
Pacific and plenty of fresh air and sun

that these things will make Kennewick

CURRY COUNTY A LAND OF PROMISE

Gold Beach, Or., Nov. 81. -It is doubt
ful if there Is another place In the
world with as many natural resources
lying undeveloped as Curry county.
Midway between the great commercial
centers of San Francisco and Portland:
no boats from either place ever land
at her wharves; no communication with
the outside world, except by the primi
tive stage, 100 miles to Roseburg, or 46
to Crescent City.
The south end of the county does
its shipping from the latter place, the
north end from Bandon. Gold Beach
and Port Orford have to depend on the
luUe gasoline schooners that ply be
tween here and Marshfleld, carrying
freight for R. P. Hume who controls
the fishing Industry of the country.
To those in Curry it makes but little
difference who Is elected president or
whether there Is any president at all.

The motor is an augur-Bhaped wheel,
seven feet in diameter and 20 feet long.

to flow through the trough, for a sec
ond or two, the water rose to a relght
of twenty feet above the top of the pipe.
More water was turned in, and the
pumps broke In their efforts to respond
to the force of the wheel. .
