VOLUME XXX NUMBER 58 BOOTH Lil REPUBLIC AN CAN DIDATE SEN AT, FOR OR IS UNITE!) STATES Oi l) IN PRAISE OF THE COOS COUNTY SUCTION. A Portland paper gives out the fol lowing interview with R. A. Booth, Republican candidate for United States senator, who vlsitcc thiB sec tion a short time ago: "After nearly three weeks cam paigning in Coos and Curry coun ties, in which he made .several ad dresses, met hundreds of voters and received the warmest assurances of support, R. A. Ilooth, Republican candidate for Unilcd States senator from Oregon, is back in Portland. The Coos-Curry trip was mado by Mr. Booth partly in response lo many requests that he visit that section and partly because of- his own dc sire to get an intimate acqaintance with that section and its needs. Ho was no stranger to Coos County and knew its needs thoroughly, but Cur ry was the one county in Oregon that he had nevor visited. "Mr. Booth's trip was interesting from beginning to end. The weath er was almost uniformly good and si. heartily was he - welcomed whorevor ho went that the trip was more like a pleasure outing than a campaign tour. "The future of Coon county speak-' ing more especially of the Coos Bay action depends on its ability to market westward the products of the county and of other sections, v of Oregon," -riiM Mr. Bootn InsUriiglit "If it can send boats out of Coo? Bay in competition with Puget Sound then Marshficld will become a won derful city. It is a project worthv of every help. "The people of Coos county are agressive, hopeful and, in th'.. general efforts, united. Tho rtont meat among them ir. . '.roiR fc-r f return of the Republican ' party to power, as they bclievo that its poli cies will develop Western Oregon better than those of the Democratic party. It frequently is remarked thero that the present administration has done nothing worth while foi that section. "Tho extent of tho great possibili ties of the Coquillo Valley is little known outside of Coos county itself. It is one of the most beautiful and productive valleys I known of. I am inclined to think that not nioro than n quarter of it is under cultivation It. needs drainage nnd clearing, and this now is being undertaken in n more agressive way tha at any former time. Adequate drainage hystems are being established in a co-operative way and the work is showing good effects. "Bandon is a beautiful city of r.000 or moro people. The Grnce Dollar was loading while I was there a u solti are constantly plying be tween that place and othor Coast cities. An immense lumboring busi ness can bo done at Bandon if thr river it- improved as it is capable of being improved. A local company has been boring for oil near Bandon with hopeful prospects. "Lnnglois, one of tho first place? I visited in Curry county, is a thriv Ing and beautiful little country towr hurrounded by a largo dairying din trict.

One of the various branches of business that is kcoping up here re business that is keeping up hero re gardless of the financial depression is the tie and polo business. Over 1!00 lies are received by the local buyers every day nnd about 75 to 100 poles, ranging in length from 15 to 50 feel. This is a business for which this section is noted on account of the great quantities of white or Port Orford cedar. Tho cedar tie is hotter than tho California redwood, and in fact better than any other tie lo be had on tho coast, and for poles there is no better wood in the United States than white cedar. Although the lumber market all over the country is rather sluggish just now, yet there is a good mar ket for ties and poles nnd the local dealers are very busy. The Estabrook Co. is receiving from 700 to 1000 tics daily, M. F. Shoemaker from 300 to 500, and Geo. Lalfaw and others are also taking in a large number. Tho match wood industry is a little slow a .tprcsent out it is altogether probable that this will pick up again in a short time.

Four months after said date, or January 1, 1915, publication of the de linquent tax list should begin and continue onceo ach week forf our suc cessive weeks, in the manner definite ly provided by law. 3. Such notice of delinquency should contain a statement tot ho ef fect that six months after the date (September 1, 1914) when said taxes shall have become delinquent, cer tificates of delinquency will be issued; the date for the issuance of "Such cer tificates to be not earlier, than March 1, 1915. 4. Publication of notice being re quired by statute, certificates of de linquency cannot be properly issued in the absence of or prior to such publication; therefore the provision of Section 3G93, Lord's Oregon Laws, as amended by act of 1913, authoriz ing the sheriff .to issue certificates of .tl0'mlcnJ?yci10 montl after such taxes lecomc 'delinquent should' not be followed on account of its implied repeal as before stated. 5.

Davcnny, field secretary of the National Rivers nnd Harbors Congress, was in Coos coun ty last week and addressed the peo ple of Coos Bay at Marshfleld Fri day night and tho .people of the Co quillo Valley at Coquillo Saturday night. Captain Davenny came down to Bandon Saturday afternoon and ooked over the situation here, but owing to the fact that it was neces sary for him to get away Sunday morning he could not remain here to .nake an address, consequently about If teen .Bandon people went up in tutos nnd listened to his addercss. The captain is a very fluent speak er and his address was highly inter esting to those who had the privilege of hearing it. He showed tho great benefit of good w"ater transportation nnd tho chenp nees of it, it being only ubout one half that of any other kind of trans portation, and urged the people to 3tand together on this ono great fea ture. He explained why tha Rivers and Harbors' bill was being held.-up in the United States Senate and urged the people to send in their demands that something be done at once to get tho bill through. Captain Davenny urged tho neces sity of all the people of tho Coquillo Valley standing together for tho Port of Bandon nnd tho improvement of tho Coquillo river bar and harbor, stating thatt hise xcellent waterway was the greatest asset this valley has and tho better harbor we got here, the sooner the railroad will come. Captain Davenny also said: "Tho interest in the development of ehan icIs for water-borne commerce is leepening in every part of the country My timo for a portion of las year .vas occupied on the south Atlantic seaboard and around the gulf coast iot he border of Mexico, and every port in all that coast country is man ifesting a quickening interest in the 3ubjoct ofw ater transportation, duo tot ho nearness at that time of the spelling of tho Panama canal. I may say in truth, however, that no part of the country is so keenly alivo to tho possibilities presentedh yt ho com pletion of the canal as thee ities along tho Pacific coast, so far as I have visited Aem. Of course, tho sxact efTect that the channel afforded by tho canal will have upon commerce generally, no ono can accurately pre dict. It is reasonable toa ssumo, however, that with tho opportunity of a shortened haul by tho cheapest fo rm of transportation, it will won derfully stimulate commerce." PUPILS TO ME NAME!)
