• • Volume XXIV, 3AND0N, COQUILLE VALLEY BES1 INSOUTHWESTOREGON Most Fertile Spot and More Hustle Displayed than Anywhere Else WILL BE SORE TO DERELOP RAPIDLY In an interview with a traveling man, who makes all the towns of Southwestern Oregon, he told a representative of the R ecorder that in his opinion Bandon and the whole Coquille valley were sure to develop into the greatest business and com mercial center of Southwest Oregon, as there are greater facilités here than anywhere else, and the people d splay nv re hustle and real de termination to push forward than any place he has seen. “While you do not make as much noise about t as some do” he said, ‘‘yet you do things in away that cannot help but impress the stranger that you mean business and that you have the goods. You certainly have un limited resources, I have been in places where they had natural ad vantages in some lines, but n: ver have I seen a place where there seemed to be natural resources in every line imaginable, to the extent that you have them here, and I can see no reason why this country should not develop into the greatest commercial center of this section of Oregon, or the entire Pacific coast jor that matter. You have lumber industries and facilities, almost with out limit You are far in the lead •n dairy products, fruitsand in min- mg you can excel, as you undoubt edly have mineral resources in abun dance:” This coming from a totally disinterested partv shows what peo pie who come here and take the trouble to investigate, can easily see the real resources, and the great op portunities to be obtained in this val ley. — ooo--- Buys White Cedar Shingles The following article quoted from Prentiss N. Gray was pnblished in the Portland Telegram of December 17th. A representative of this paper interviewed a member of the oca lWhite Cedar Shingle Co. on the subject, but he would neither af firm nor deny the statement, so we publish it as it appeared in the Telegram as coming from Mr. Gray: Through P. N.

Of thisatrount, 15,000,- 000 will be brought to Portland by the steamer Alliance and placed on the market. The remaining 10,000,- 000 will be shipped to San Fran- cisco. Mr. Gray arrived at Portland this morning on the steamer Alliance, which is operated by Ins company. He left San Francisco about 10 days j I ago for Coos Bay to inquire into the business outlook, and while there he decided to buy the shingles turned out by the Coquille mills. He says that from now on this class of freight will hk ly furnish part cargoes for the Alliance on her northbound trips. It is said that a good market for them can be found here. died at his home near Prosper, Ch December 16, 19(8, lackig < < < day of being 79 years old. J.
