A THOUSAND-MILE JOURNEY THROUGH OREGON.
August 1 6th the writer left Newport on Yaquina bay, the
first stage of a journey to Coos Bay,
Wednesday ovening, August 18, we steamed down the
Willamette, out into the broad Columbia on the good ship
Breakwater.
Thursday morning we were at Astoria and crossed the
Columbia bar, , nit , i( (il , ,
The fine steel ship was filled to standing room with dele
gates to a southwestern Oregon Development Congress,
By 8i30 that evening we were in Coos Bay safely landed
at the North Bend docks,
Most of the passengers slept crossing the Columbia and
Coos Bay bars. ti
By 10:30 Thursday evening we were up to Marshfield, .
The visitors saw great progress made since a year ago.
Thore are many new buildings at both cities,
It seomed as though there were miles of electric lights as
wo steamed up the bay,
If Harriman had come in here three years ago with his
railroad from Drain, as lie planned, there would now be a
city of 20,000 here on Coos Bay.
As it is, with a railroad only to Myrtle Point, there are
10,000,
There- were powerful elements here then that fought Harri
man getting across the bay,
Stranco as it mav seem, there are a fow here now who,
while they scold Harriman for not coming in, fight an inde
pendent home-built railroad getting out.
But such is life, and the people never will all agree on a
good thing until it is accomplished,
The congress was the means of uniting them to push the
line out from Coos Bay to Roseburg,
It was woll worth while taking two weeks and the whole
thousand-mile trip.
Friday and Saturday, August 20-21, we held sessions of
the congress with over 200 delegates present,
Thousands of people attended the sessions.
Sunday we went upon an excursion by rail to Conuillo and
river steamers to Bandon,
This side trip was about 100 miles and took until 10 p.m.
Sam Jackson, Goo, Trowbridgo and John Carroll, three
Portland newspaper men, wero turned over by the Marshfield
polico to Sheriff Gallior,
It was planned to run them off into the woods of Curry
county and lose them in the ocean.
Monday night wo preached united effort at Marshfield.
At Bandon the delegates wore received In carriages, driven
to tho beautiful Bandon beach, give na dinned baseball game,
etc,
Next was a 25-mile launch trip up Coos river.
Tuesday, August 24, wo spent at North Bend, preaching
united effort,
Wednesday, August 25, wo went down the bay in a launch,
Tho ride up to tho Umpqun liver was executed on tho deck
of the stage,
There were sixteen passengers and three had to go as bag
gage strapped on behind.
N. B. How many would a train have to carry?
Tho little stonmoi Fva took us up Winchester bay and
dropped us on the south beach,
Wo got a fow mouthfuls to oat from an Indian woman
and staitod up the coast on foot for Florence on Siuslaw bay
Slopt on the sand beach that night and got into Siuslaw
harbor for a Into breakfast.
Friday, August 1 7, drove to Tsiltcoos lake and Clear lako,
Wont up tho Siuslaw iier by stoamer to Mapleton,
Thou out ovor the mountains via Wildcat creek and down
Long Tom, 60 miles to Eugene,
That is tho Peach City of westorn Oregon,
Wo had been in nearly ovory county of western Oregon on
this trip,
We stood on the Bandon beach and looked off into Curry
county, the southwest county.
As wo pulled down into bright and busy Eugene Saturday
night, August 28, it was like coming home to mother.
It was a pleasuio to rest in her bosom and bo received in
the arms of tho broad expansivo smiling Willamette valley,
We had traveled by foot, stage, horse, auto, row-boat,
stoamer, launch, train, hacks, and waded,
Wo had travolod on tho ocean accompanied by a school of
whales.
Ono monster of tho deep was amused from slumboi by
our stoamer and disappeared with a tremendous splash that
sent tho salt water In our faces,
Our horse scared up a bear in the salal bushes in Lincoln
county.
A door kindly stood still and allowed us to take her pic
ture noar Tsiltcoos lake, Lane county,
When we reported this to tho mayor of Florence he said
they could boat that,
They had deer in Florence that would stand still and let
you pet them.
Wo did not see a cougar but jumped up a Presbyterian
divinity student from New York rusticating in tho wilds of
Coos county,
Wo did not kill any lions, doar Teddv, but tho sea lions
wero roaring off the rocks on Hocota Head while we were
-
We announce our readiness to serve our patrons with the
best outfitting for men and boys the country produces. The
Fall styles are ready, and every price is a pleasing one. We
solicit your consideration.'

sDoutinc for the district-built railroad at the mouth of the
Siuslaw,
This practically closes the educational campaign for devel
opment undertaken a year ago by the Oregon-Idaho Devel
opment Congress,
It has preached the doctrine of United Effort, Self-Help
and Independent Action by Communities.
Now comes the era of organizataion and action,
Congressman Hawley declared it would be easy to get ap
propriations where the state had taken the initiative.
This applied to the locks and canal at Oregon City, the har
bors of Coos Bay, Siuslaw, Coquille and Tillamook with their
harbor commissions,
On this thousand-mile trip we met several hundred of the
bright, progressive public-spirited men of Oregon who are do
ing things and writing history fn achievements for a Greater
Oregon.
It was worth while having met such men worth the sac
rifice of time, trouble and expense,
