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.

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. Gray, secretary of
the corporation, the California N
Oregon Coast Steamship Company
has just closed a deal for the entire
annual output of the white cedar
shingle mills on the Coquille river,
comprising about 25 000,000 of the
roof covers. 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.
