Big Celebration to Mark Comple tion of Willamette-Pacific The Marshfield and North Bend (Ore.) Chambers of Com merce have committees or ganized for the purpose of planning the celebration of the completion of the Willamette Pacific from Eugene to Coos Bay. According to the disposition in both cities, the event and en tertainment will exceed any thing ever attempted before on Coos Bay. Only tentative ar rangements are now under dis cussion, for the season of the year when the celebration can be held will control largely the class of entertainment that will be offered. There are already promises received from the main boosting bodies in the Willamette Valley that big delegations will be sent otlicially, but everybody and his relatives will be welcomed. The Cherrians of Salem were the first to give assurance they were preparing to visit Coos Bay, and although the information came in a round about manner, they are expected to participate. Eugene and Albany are also among the cities that will send excursions, while the way sta tions on the 'Willamette-Pacihc will have a general outpouring of jov-seekers. The visitors wtll have a great variety of sights to view, for trips will be arranged to beaches, the lakes, rivers, and mountains. Resorts within easy distance of Marshlield and North Bend in clude Sunset Bay, Charleston Bay and Arago lighthouse, the new life-saving station at Charleston, the old Government works, the ocean beach, beauti ful scenery on both branches of Coos river, the salmon hatchery on South Coos river, and Golden and Silver falls on the Allegany trip. There are a dozen roads by which people can get to the mountain streams for trout fish ing, in the branches of South Coquille river, Myrtle creek, Rock creek, Millicoma river, Bakercreek. Ocean fishing also can be enjoyed on gasoline schooners, several of which will be provided for the occasion. The committees are arranging for amusements in the cities, taking various forms, including parades and music. A general carnival of good cheer will pre vail and everyone who goes will go away with a feeling that the opening of a new territory ' by the new railroad is going to mark an important era for west ern Oregon. Perpetuating Burdens Before the war most of our dyestuffs came from Germany. The Germans could make thon. better and cheaper than we could, so the exchange was pro fitable on both sides. When the war broke out this source of supply was cut off and for a time we had no dyes to speak of. Nobody went hungry or cold for want of them, but the nation was upon the whole some what less beautiful than afore time. Then some of our more enter prising countrymen started up dye works and began in a feeble and tentative way to put forth the means whereby we might make ourselves gorgeous again. It is a new iufant industry but, properly nurtured, it may some time become full grown. But the men who have gone into the dye business are nervous about the future. What shall they do when the war is over? The Germans with their superior skill and resources will begin making dyes again They will "dump" them on our shores and drive our infant industry to de struction. Dyes procured from the in fant industry cost us a great deal more than we used to pay the Germans. If we keep out the foreign dyes by a big tariff we shall continue to p.iy more. We shall have to tax ourselves for the next century or two in order to place the infant in dustry on a secure foundation. Will it pay? The war will be over before long. Why not get along the best we can with pure white garments until that happy day dawns and then import cheap dyes from Germany as we did of yore? Why burden ourselves with war prices for ever in order to build up an in dustry for which we have little aptitude? Much fear of "dumping" is abroad in the land. Having tasted the blood of war prices our princes of trade are un willing to go back to a peace diet. They are eager to build up a high tariff wall so that they can continue to wring exorbitant prices from the consumer. To the man who has no axe to grind it looks as if we could stand a little dumping of gaso line, drugs, copper and beef steaks without much real cause for grief. If Europe offers to sell us these articles at moderate prices why should we be of fended? Journal. According to the Pasteur in stitute of Paris, milk is a power ful stimulant, yet it may be a long timo before the gentle cow is classified with the demon rum. They say that it takes seventy five tons of missiles to put one German soldier out of commis sion. The figures on French men, Brittons and Russiaus are lacking. By keeping vacant the post of secretary of war President Wil son is able to escape the distrac tion of being advised by the head of the department If, as a St. Louis clergymau says, the secret of longevity is the loose collar, may not a ball gown be looked upon as a ticket to great age? It is natural to suppose that no Americans are going abroad except for adequate reasons and it is not for either war maniacs or a spineless congress to forbid their going. With a population one-twenty- fifth that of the United States' Switzerland has a trained army five times as large as that of the. United States, yet Switzerland , is considered the most demo-. cratic country in the world. j (Paid Advertisements.)
