CKKDIT TO MAJOR KINNEY
Ab a mark of growth of the progtce-
wo spirit on Coos Bay, to which M10
MilL referred yesterday, it is plessant
to note that there aro , "a great many ol
our clearest-headed people who ate
frank to acknowledge the debt bich
this community owes to Major L. D.
Kinney.
It is a debt thnt can notbe measured
in money. Tlis value of the advertiting
which Coos Bay received last year
through Mfjor Kinney's efforts, and
which cost so man here a cent, will
never be known. Its effects are seen
in more wayR than can be enumerated,
and.areifelt in ways where tbey can not
be seen.
Whether or not .Major Kinney will
rneceed in carrying' ont his project of
bringing a transcontinental railroad to
a tcrminuB on Coos Bay, the Mail has
no means of knowing. Bnt this much
il certain: If there is any help the
Mux. can give him, to accomplish that
end. the help will be freely given.
The worst thnt has been said against
the Great Central railroad has been,
that 31 a jor Kinney did not represent
capitalists who would build the road,
but was only frying to get such capital
ists interested. Supposing this to be
the case; wbouldn't it be to the interests
of Coos Bay to help! Major Kinney in
every legitimate way7 Yet, how much
help has ho received from this commun
ity, to which the frnitlon of hie hopes
would prove of (each immense benefit?
Let anv one try to answer this questirn
honestly to himself, and he may wo
what an inglorious part has been played
by the knockers.
Had the people of Uoob Bay been ee
tborougbly'alive to tbelrown interests
as the people of Seattle or Spokane, for
instanee, have been to theirs, they would
have been only too glad to give Major
Kinney any encouragement or assist
ance in their power, and there is little
doubt that the road he proposes to build
wonld have been actually nnder con
Rtrnctlon by thisltlme. If he succeed,
and the (Mail fervently hopes that he
may, a great many of the people of this
community will bo plared in the poeltion
ol a jackasB who is pnllod by main
strength up to n bale of hay.
It most be clearly understood that
not all of our people have placed them
selves In this uhenviable position.
There are many who, while they, are
Dot sanguine on the railroad proposition
re free to give credit for the Jadvertie-
ing which Coob Bay has roceivod, 'and
Which has attracted the attention of
people fromMaine to California and from
Washington to Florida. In this larger
view and wideawake spirit lies tho hope
ef Coo Bay, and its growth is one of
iha naouraglng signs'of tho times, For

And that Is nnothor war In which ho
has hoi pod Coos Ray.
A COMMON KXPKRIKNCE
There is nothing surpriolng about tho
experience of J. B. Smith and family,
uifi Honed in the Dora coirespondeine
today, who went back to Oklahoma
after a year's resilience in Coos county
and are now very anxious to got'back
here.
All old residents of Coos Bay have
a vn dozens ol similar instance?, and
many of them have been through the
mill themselves. We have all seen men
aud families pack tip and leave Coo
with a grand flourish, shaking the mud
from their enndals, only to cotno sneak
ing back later, tired and hungry but
supremely happy to get hack to old Coo
again.
It would bo hard to dcilro tho charm
which binds the heart to this Uttle scope
of land and water, but it exists, and
after a person has ouce lived hero n few
years he or she will never be thorogbly
contented anywhere else. Of course
there is once in a whilo an exception,
but they are very scattering.
The moral, or nl least one of them
lionld bo taken to heart by thoeo who
are si i-xcruciatingly conscientious about
emoureging any one to como hero or
eta here, (or (ear they will bo disap
pjinltd at the country. The proper
course oi orocedun is to got them hero
lor at least a year, even i( they want to
get away. After that tbey aro safe. The
Coos Bay virus will pe in their blood,
and they will never be happy tinny whero
else.

Attained to the position ol Commander

Miles, brenn his career an nn enlisted
man In the Twelfth Pennsylvania Infan
try, All of his tweniy-onu predecessors
ah commander of thu army began their
military careers as commissioned otleeni
it has beun stated frrquuntly that thu
chief objection to General Miles von the
part of his brother officers was thu fact
that he was not a West Point mon. The
same causo for complaint is to Ixi found
in tho caso of tho now commanding
general. General Young is thu third
man who has come from civil life, ns
distinguished from those who have gono
through tho ncademy, to atta'n command
of the army. Tho first, alter it la-came
posslblo to appoint u Went Point gradu
ates, to achiero that position wan Gun-

captain of Artl'lory. .Since Scott nil tho
commandorsof tho army orcept Miles

But the now commanding goncrnl is a
soldier from the ground up, withoat any
fuss ot feathers. lie is not a medal of
honor man, but ono who quietly and
faithfully performed his duty nt all
times, and is ncognir.ed as a tireless
fighting general who is ready for Juty
day or night. Ho emerged from the
civil war with tho respect of till h'.t
comrades, and preformed excellent eer-
vico during tho Spanish war, Inter dis
tinguishing' himself in the Philippines.
Five months nfter ho entered thu
