Man's energy to improve his sur
roundings and the community in
which he lives, too frequently depends
upon the rigors of the climate in
which he lives and the easier to live
the less energy expended. The Co- easily as at the wharves of New Or-
A FEW WORDS IN DEFENCE
"The Bandon people certainly
make a mistake in taking the attitude
the Recorder represents them as tak
ing at Tuesday's meeting. If the
people of Coquille and neighboring
sections of the valley are going to
help foot the bill for making a bet
ter port at Uandon, they certainly will
not be willing to be the goat, but will
insist that the wharves here at Co
quille shall be accessible to any
freighters that make the port of Ban
don. The last decision of the bu-
preme Court bitches us up to the port
good and hard; now we are going to
see to it that we get benefits corres
ponding to the investments we make
in the Coquille waterway."
Such a stand as that taken by the
Sentinel appeals to the Recorder as
unfair, for several reasons. .
If a Minnesota congressman would
refuse his vote for federal improve
ments at the mouth of the Mississippi
unless the entire river were deepened
so that largo ships could anchor at
St Paul and Minneapolis wharves as
quille river valley is by nature capable
of being converted into a "Gard' of
the (Sods" but the gardens -re few
and far between, at least on the lower
river. And to the stranger, descend
ing that fair valley for the first time
ho might and with reason conclude
that the best name for this region is
"The Trail of Abandoned Hopes." So
many abandoned enterprises, mills,
tumble down coal bunkers, deserted
shacks, ruins and remains :Z some
former biir fires, rustinir and un-uscd
logging roads, all are silent laleir
lens, he would be taking a similar
sterol to that of the Sentinel. Nothing
.an be expected for the advantage of
(ho Coquille river valley through tne
development of the port if such a nar
uv view as this prevails. The peo
ple living on Latupa creek would be
.is well justified in refusing to Mp
pay for the dredging of the riv.i- io
Coquille unless they were provided
with an equally good channel in
;null stream.
'.f the mouth of the Coquille were
amall bay without any waterways
of the entire valley will be served.
Local interests can not be forwarded
by a dog in the manger policy that
will not allow improvement where it
is possible because others can not
obtain it where it is impossible. The
port was formed to secure improve
ment. Then why falter, delay with
more fears though less hopes than
wars or women have. The wise course
will be to issue bonds and now while
labor is largely idle and materials
cheap and while there are engineers
and equipment on the job secure a
permanent harbor.
Bearing on this point it is of int
erest to read the report of the meet
ing of the Port of Siuslaw as report
ed in the Florence West. At this meet-

Ruth Young, daughter of the proprie
tor of the Baxter house and the wed
ding was of the kind that is a public
event. The ceremony was conducted
in the M. W. A. hall at the county
seat and the decorations included the
usual Woodmen features suggestive
of the unspared tree and included the
Woodmen colors and the Woodmen
honors when the event had been con
sumatcd Perhaps the most up-to-date
feature of the wedding was the
pains resorted to by friends to see
that the first evening of the happy
couple was one of unalloyed bliss.
The original plan had been to kidnap
the groom and lake him a dozen miles
from town with the prospect of
walking back

asked how he expects to keep people

that the laws provide that all sellers
of ores must certify as to where they
get them and this protects those who
have lauds untenanted.
