EASTERN CLACKAMAS NEWS Devoted to the Interests of Eastern Clackamas County V olume 11, N umber 48 COOS BAY ENTERTAINS STATE NEWSPAPERMEN District’ s Prosperity Due Natural Resources and Co-operation I c ► While being an editor may car ry with it a few penalties and plenty of joys, the greatest of the latter assets is the annual outing at the convention of the Oregon State Editorial Associa tion, with its attendant enter tainment. Notwithstanding the fact that that section of the state which happens to be host to the Oregon newspapermen and their wives during their annual convention usually profits to the extent of from ten to twenty thousand dol lars’ worth of free, front page publicity—apparently the good people of the Coos Bay country vied with each other in the en tertaining of their guests, with out thought of reward. Right now the Coos Bay coun try is one bright example of per manent as well as war stimulated industry, strong rivalry and at the same time co-operation in its broadest sense. The individual cities, towns and communities may have their jealousies and ri- valri°s, but t r u e ^.-operation is the keynote in the develop ment of their country at large. The News only wishes it could afford to reproduce the attractive and beautifully illustrated book let issued by the Chamber of Commerce of Marshfield, which tells the story truthfully and as only a real publicity artist can. This booklet may be had by writ ing to the Chamber of Commerce and as a souvenir alone amply re pays for the trouble of sending for it. The Coos Bay country is bless ed with one of the most wonder ful natural locations of any spot in the Northwest, with the beaut iful Coos Bay everywhere, in front, in back and on nearly all sides of the country, with its arms, bays and bayous reaching back into the forested mountains and farmed hillsides offering and inviting water transportation for the products of the outside world. This bay and the nearby ocean not only furnish the transporta tion facilities, but from their abundance of sea food and fishes lend their share in the country’s prosperity, with fishing and cold storage being no small part of the districts’ industries. From a scenic standpoint it is one beauty spot, with a climate almost as good as Eastern Clack amas. with a little too much wind, but wind of the true salt water variety and little of the artificial, hot air mixture. One might say that any coun try where Nature has been so lavish in its spread of resources in Jorests, water ways, coal de- Conclucied on back puye E stacada , O regon , T hursday .

The first indication of fire was found by the watchman in the main mill but not near the engines or boilers. This blaze could easily have been extinguished had water pressure been avail able, but for some unknown rea son the usual steam pressure kept in the boilers at night was miss ing and the flames gained rapid headway. The mill and business wrhich had formerly been conducted un der the name of the Cascade Lumber Company was owned and operated by Thos. Yocum of Garfield. Mr. Yocum arrived on the scene the next morning and found everything a total loss, the burn ed lumber being valued at atbout $2,000, and the mill and equip ment at about $3,000 with no in surance carried. Sunday, August 18th is the date set for the Knights of Col umbus picnic at Esiacada Park when that worthy organization and its friends will be the hosts to at least 500 soldier boys and their wives and sweethearts.

These sol diers are taken from those sta tioned at Vancouver and come from all parts of the United States. On the Sunday following no picnic is scheduled as yet for Estacada Park, but the Found ation Company’s employes are expected on Sunday, September 1st.
