' Coos Bay has tNbutary to It approxi
mately one tenth of the standing Umber
f the United States, in round figures
from. 11,000.000.000 to $8,000,000,000 feet.
Its Douglas fir, spruce, t Port Orf ord
cedar,' myrtle and other woods are
among the finest to be found in any
timbered section of the; world. Included
in these totals are 8.000,000,000 to 10.

nually, at the present rate, foots up to
approximately 860,000,00 feet. Just a
little distance to the north; on- another
watershed along the Umpqua river, it is
estimated that there are another 20.000,
000,000 feet of merchantable - timber
waiting for conversion into lumber. :

' Curry county- has five ninthB of its
total area In government owned lands
not on the tax roll. Between Brookings
and Gold Beach, In 28 imilea along the
coast, there- are only seven land own

Bay has shipped out to San Francisco
during the last two years more lumber
than all of the other .Jumper ports on
the Pacific coast combined.
The C. A. Smith mills at Marshfield
are equipped with loading devices which
put 1,600.000 'feet. Of. lumber on ; board

" But lumber Is not the! only thing that
this district can and - does produce. i,lt
haa already an. immense dairy industry.
It. has two veneer mills now in opera
tion. The district Is Underlaid with --ceal
which it ; is expected . will l once ; more
come into its own with the increasing
cost of fuel oil and Its scarcity. It is
the natural homeof the! loganberry and
of other small fruits end berries.
The Port of Cooe Bay baa Issued $250,

-faith in Its
own projects by taxing Stself more per
eapita than . any other ; district in the
country, except one, for the development
of its water commerce. rlt la putting p
its own money and is going j to the fed
eral government firm Inf the conviction
that on. the face of its record it will be
given the assistance It needs in that 6i
reetion. - iO (; - f ;:
' But the district wants' more than the
harbor.' It wants aft open gateway to
tbe sea through which it? may reach out
with its shipe - to the markets of the
world, but it also ' wants roads upon
which Its people and its products may
reach the interior of the state and the
Interior markets of . othen states. , It be
tievea that the government could well af
ford to extend assistance; In greater pro
portion to it for the -construction of its
roads because so much of the county s
owned by the government, j It . argues1
that such investment would add greatly
to the value of the government's holdings
and repay it in dollars for the dollars It
would spend- It hopes to convince con
gress, in time, it not rignt soon, or me
equity of Its contentions ; and! the valid
ity of Its requests, in the meantime, the
Coos country is hopingf and; dreaming
and working hard while it hopes; that
its dreams will cbme true. - - j ' ' J

SUFFRAGE UPSETS !
- PLANS OF BOSSES
- (Con tinned rnalFin Otn) - .
But the women- have always proved
themselves inacceasible. : They are bard
to organise in the political sense and
insist upon a certain independence which
defies -party tradition, and partisanship.
MEBIT ISWOBD ': r $
-. While many a man has been a life
long' Republican or Democrat land hesi
tates ' to change - his allegiance, there
has been built , up no such feeling . oa
the-part -of the women. They are . in
clined therefore to judge -the candidates
and: the parties on their i merita.
. And While' it is perhapava trifle . ex
treme to use the' term punishment -as
applied to the intention of the women
voters with respect to oertain United
States senators who have done, all la
their power .to block suffrage, the -women
THE BIG DREAMS
leaders believe the- activity of these men
waa true test of their progress! ve . or
reactionary character and that the ones
who opposed suffrage were, with rare
exceptions. Similarly lined up against
other legislation of a social or humani
tarian, character. They, wilt, therefore,
use a man's "suffrage record aa an index
of his value to the community and fight
him regardless of party.
WHERB CBEDIT BELONGS
' There" Is already a good deal of talk
about tbe giving of credit for the win
ning of Tennessee. It la a superficial
factor; and the women leaders do not
attach much Importance to that kind
of thing. They don't believe the women
will vote aa a matter of gratitude, but
as. a matter of principle. Although Ten
nessee is a .Democratic state and the
Democrats are. naturally, jubilant that
a Southern, state . did the ' tricfcJ the
women leaders know full well that they
never. could ; havei got suffrage aa
far as Tennessee's crucial vote without
the constant support of progressive Re
publicans, both in the congress and state
legislatures.
They will tell you. that Governor Cox
showed himself more sympathetic than
Senator Harding. They will even show
you how : Democratic members of the
Tennessee legislature were Influenced by"
Governor Cox or. his ; personal - repre
sentatives, and certain : women- leaders
still - show - resentment over Senator
Harding's kindly reference to the anti
suffrage workers in his speech of ac
ceptance, .i
HABDIXG IS 8HBEWD
But shrewd political managers are
not so sure Senator Harding didn't play
his cards exceptionally well in view of
the fact that women who opposed suf
frage will probably use the ballot to "up
hold their doctrines and principles just
as much as thoso who favored suffrage.
In other words. Senator Harding has
gone after the votes of both factions in
the suffrage ranks, and hopes for sup
port from both, while Governor Cox haa
lined himself -up very definitely aganist
the anti-suffrage vote.
It must be remembered, too, .that in
many states the anti-suffrage votes Are
not altogether feminine and that in the
state of Oregon, for; instance, the male
vote has been almost evenly dividedon
tbe question of permitting women to
vote on state questions. j..'
It. is too 'early to determine Just how
much . effect on the League of Nations
controversy the enfranchisement 'of
women will have. - The league is pop
ular in the West, where women have had
the right to vote for years, whileln
large sections of. the East its purposes
have been represented as more likely to
entangle the nation in war than to pre
serve peace. i
rilOiUBITIOX IS ISSUE
Prohibition is a much more vital issue
with the women in Eastern states than
most people believe. ; Hitherto both Re
publicans and Democrats in populous
sections have leaned toward the wet
side of the argument, but the entrance
of the woman vote will tend to neutralize
the stand of candidates and to aange
them more and more on the side of law
enforcement, without committing them
selves to definite proposals for modifica
tion of the Volstead act. : Suffrage is a
proverbial monkey, wrench in the ma
chinery of party politics, and , the one
thing the. managers of both parties have
to be thankful for is that it came in
August, instead of September, so that
they have some time at least In which
to reorganise their forces. j

Referring to this spirit of - antipathy,
the report says : "In tts crude- form it is
expressed in the; emphatic pronounce
ment, "We don't want, any 'd(d Japa
in this country at alL! No suggestions,
no supposed benefits .of cultivation or
increased production, ; no ! arguments of
any kind can be produced to. mitigat
that verdict. It is Inexorable, conclusive
and unchangeable. Those who give rea
sons for that verdict say, that the Jap
aneee cannot become a part of American
life socially or as logical citisena, be
cause their lines of thought, purpose and
aspirations are Japanese, their stand
ards of .living are not ours ; their, com
mercial purposes are In ' the interest of
Japan and not of the United States and
their national sympathies are the same
way; their methods are crafty and de
ceitful ; they are leeches upon our na
tional , body,; . sucking - Its best blood and
poisoning the body upon which it feeds."
ACUTE.AT HOOD BIVEB U
The Japanese question. Iavey found,
is more acute in the Hood River valley
than in any other place in Oregon. There,
he. states, the white settlers have organ
ized ; to combat further encroachments
upon the land by Japs, the claim being
made that unless- the Orientals are
checked they will ultimately drivel the
Americans out of the 'valley. Statistics
are Quoted to show' a ! population of 800
Japanese In the valley at this time with
1000 acres owned by- Japanese and an
other 500 acres under lease by them. The
report comments on tm ract that there
Is little disposition on the part of the
Japanese settlers toward home building
or the - improvement of their property
and quotes a sentiment . expressed t by
anti-Japanese settlers of thatt section
to the effect that tthe profits pf these
people all go to Japan." K . i" f
. Commenting upon the ewcroachment of
Japanese settlers In -the Dee flat sec
tion, of Hood River valley, . ravey de
clares that "sooner or later that wealth
producing spot must i become either a
i white or a yellow ' settlement." i ' i
The - report, which was prepared for
the - benefit of the ' congressional com
mittee recently in the West investigat
ing the Oriental situation, covers in de
tail the various sections . of the state
in. which, the Japanese have settled in
any number. In each : of these sections,
Davey declares, 'the sentiment regarding
the encroachment of the Orientals upon
American soil was divided as. between
those favoring the peaceful , Invasion
and those who are unalterably opposed
to Japanese settlement of this country.
Davey declares that t figures provided
by the 7 Japanese consul to show that
the population of the Japanese in, Ore
gon is 4504 is - approximately correct.
There has been no material Increase; In
this number - within the past 10 years,
