The following we take from the
Oregon Daily Journal, of Portland,
being a portion of an extensivee
writeup including all part« of the
county, but which is too longthy to
give all this week:
When one is asked to tell what
is the chief resource of Coos county,
especially if he happens to have in
vestigated
the
subject rather
thoroughly, he is at a loss Ibere
are many things left by the hand of
nature over the broad acres of the
county and any of them would
serve a less fortunate community as
its main-stay.
In general there are 17,702 acres
of tillable land in the county, and
570,841 acres of non-tillable. The
value of the former is at present
$201,302, of the latter, $1,316,287.
There are 39 miles of railroad track
in the county, 417 miles of tele
phone and telegraph lines, $23,978
worth of farm machinery nnd other
property equalling a total of $3,335,
590 assessable property for the
county. There are 2,028 head of
mules and horses, 13,882 head of
cattle,' 8,851 head of sheep and
goats and 2,672 hogs.
The dairy industry is in a flour
ishing condition. There are three
creameries situated at Coquille,
two at Norway, one at Riverton,
one at Bridge, one at Gravel Ford,
one on the South Fork, one at
Myrtle Point and one at Marsh
field.
A number of factories have been
started for the manufacture of tim
ber products.
There is a match
factory at Bandon and two broom
handle plants.
These have a ca
pacity of 6,000 handles a day, which
are shipped chiefly to San Francis
co.
There are still vast quantities of
standing timber in the county and
this for some years to come will
form its greatest asset. Many tim
ber claims have been taken during
the past year and but few are left.
There are two shingle factories lo
cated in the Fishtrap country, five
miles southeast of Coquille City.
There is an abundant field for out
side capital iu the establishment of
these and similar plants.
COUNTY RICH IN COAL.
Coal has been found iu consider
able quantities both in veins and
and along the surface.
There are
three mines in the county, the pro
ducts of which are shipped to San
Francisco. The mines are located
at Libby, Beaver Hill and Riverton.
They hove a combined enpaeity of
1,000 tons per day.
Four salmon canneries are locat
ed in the county and annually dis
pose of a good catch. These are
situated at Bandon, Parkersburg,
Empire, and Marshfield
The Coos Bay, Roseburg A East
ern Railroad,
running between
Marshfield and Myrtle Point, a dis
tance of 28 miles, is the only line
at present located in the county.
The road cost $600,000 and was
built by Contractor R. A. Graham
in the years 1891 to 1895.
It is
owned by the Spreckles syndicate
of San Francisco.
The agricultural resources o f the
county, though but scantily devel
oped, Lave already proven a source
oi considerable wealth. Prodigious
yields of all grains are harvested
from fertile fields. Oats have yield
ed 107 bushels to the acre. Barley
also gives exceptional yields. But
little corn is grown. The soil is too
rich for alfalfa.
The cranberry in
dustry has been started on the
sloughs around Coos Bay, and this
industry promises great results.
Clover, timothy and other grasses
grow luxuriantly.
Big yields of
apples, pears and other Northern
fruits flourish.
The county will make a large ex
hibit of home products, among
which will be drtseed lumber and
specimens of native coal, at the
coming Lewis and Clark Exposi
tion.

He has resid
ed at Bandon for 12 years.
The
county superintendent,
W. H.
Bunch, has filled his place so well
that for the .fourth time he is serv
ing the educational interests of the
county.
8. B. Cathcart has for 18
years acted as county surveyor, and
if there is a foot of Coos county-
ground that he would notrecoguize
with his eyes shut, most of bis
frieuds are deceived. J. B. Dulley,
as treasurer, has impressed his
constituents as a wise and careful
officer, The commissioners are R.
C. Dement of Myrtle Point, a stock
man of wealth and resident of the
county for 45 years; Donald McIn
tosh, a pioneer dairyman of the
county and superintendent of the
co-operative creamery.
The city officers are: A. J. Sher-
w pod, mayor, serving most satis
factorily his second term; E. G. D.
Holden, recorder; 11. S. Knowlton,
treasurer. The council is composed
of L. Harlocker, J. J. Stanley, B.
H. Burns, G. O. Leach, D. A.
Johnson and one vacant place un
filled.
TOWN LIGHTED BY ELECTRICITY.
The electric light plant is a mod
ern and efficient one, and the wat
er works plant, owned by the city,
cost $20,000 and has saved that
much property under the efficient
work of the volunteer fire depart
ment.
The churches of the city are: M.
E. church, South, Rev. R. A. Rea
gan, pastor; Methodist Episcopal,
W. II. Myers, pastor; Seventh Day
Adventist, no regular pastor; Pres
byterian, Rev. Adolph Haberly,
pastor; Christian, Rov. J. J. Hand-
saker, pastor; Episcopal, Rev. Wm.
Horsfall;
Church of Redeemed
Israel, no regular minister.
The public schools of Coquille
are umler good mauagement and
provide for a thorough conrse in
elomentarv education. The princi
pal in charge is E. H. Anderson.
The teachers are: Lizzie Bridges,
Icy March, Belle Rich, Fanny Get
ty, and Graco Bridges. The build
ing is a six-room one, heated by
furnace with improved ventilation
and
fixtures.
Two additional
rooms are needed and will probab
ly be soon added to accommodate
the increasingly large attendance.
The Coquille Ice & Cold Storage
Company transacts a considerable
business and is constantly improv
ing its plant and widening it* field.
There is a great opportunity for
other such institutions in this
field, and outside capital will prop-
ably be induced to enter.
The Coos County Academy has a
building of five rooms with a chap
el.
There were fifty enrolled
students last year with three teach
ers.
The following lodges are repre
sented in the city: Masonic, Knights
of Pythias, Woodmen of the World,
Eastern Star, llcbecoas, Ancient
Order of United Workmen, Fra
ternal Aid, Women of Woodcraft,
Degree of Honor, Rathbone Sisters,
and Odd Fellows.
In relation to other county towns
the population of Coquille is about
I, 300 people.
One of the leading business firms
of Coquille City is the Wilson Jew
elry Company.
This concern car
ries a large and stylish line of
‘silverware, clocks,
jewelry and
musical instruments.
Special at
tention is given to the fitting of eye

The Pacific Furniture & Lumber
Company has recently purchased
the large saw mill, which formerly
belonged to the Lyons estate. The
mill will cut 40,000 feet ot lumber
per day, which will be shipped to
Los Angeles.
W. T. Kerr is man
ager of the mill.
The First National Bank is a
new corporation that in August
purchased the stock of the old Co-

It has a capi
tal stock of $25,000 and is building

Escaped Death on Lonely Road.
Salem, Or. Nov. 17.— Prof. J. H.
Ackerman had a narrow escape
from serious injury on Saturday
night while on his way from Dallas
to Salem. The road a portion of
the way is narrow and winds
through and around the kills be
tween Eola and Salem. It has re
cently been graveled and improv
ed, but is barley wide enough for a
team to travel on it. When Mr.
Ackerman reached this portion of
the road darkness had fallen. The
team overtook another rig and at
tempted to pass, when the buggy
capsized, throwing the driver down
the embankment, while Mr. Acker
man was caught in the top of the
buggy. Fortunately the driver re.
tained the lines, and though drag
ged a short distant was able to stop
the team. The only damage done
was a severe bruising on the bodies
of both Mr. Ackerman and the driv
er and the thorough covering of
their clothing with mud. Mr. Ack
erman was able to come to this city,
and after a couple of days’ confine
ment following the severe shakeing
up received will be able to go to
Eastern Oregon, though he will not
be in Hhape to take the stage trips to
interior towns as he had planned.
Had the team not been thorough

capsized Mr.
Ackerman would
doubtless have been dragged to
death by the horses, for the roal is
rocky, crooked and narrow and he
was so wedged in as. to make escape
almost impossible.
