a Trip TO Coos Boy.

a visit TO Coos Bay shows that the business
of cur SISTER countyfis steadily on the increase,
not from any boom but by the influx of popu-
iatlen and capital. The vast mass Of half
burned trees which for the last ten years have
served only as an Indication Of when settler
attempted 70 make farm are quickly disap-
Fearing under the saw aad AK of the new set
tiers and well fenced farms are appearing in
their stead. There is no place in Southern
Oregon where man Of grit can sooner make
competency than in Coos county. No spec
uIator need apply.
The new saw mill at Empire City IS a great
curiosity TO all visitors. | shall not attempt
to describe it as know nothing Of the bust
ness, but mill men from this State and the
East unite in declaring it the most perfect on
the Coast. While examining its wonderful
capacity one naturally enquiries how it is to be
sustained. Where are the logs and where is
the market2 The latter question is more easily
answered than the FIRST. San Francisco and
other points on the Southern coast and the
Isles OF the Pacific may furnish a market, but
TO obtain supply of the raw material is a
more difficult problem. TO premise the hills
around the sheet Of water known at Coos Bay
were thirty years ago clothed with the finest
lumber IN the world, Fire and the lumber
man have SO demanded them that little but
match wood remains, In the mountains to the
east there still exist immense forests in their
original grandeur but it is at present .inaccessi-
bic; besides 1t has been found that in the few
years the worm destroys the logs in the boom
at Empire City. The only source ofsupply left
therefore IS the Coquille river aud its branches,
where the supply ispractically inexhaustible.
But to reach this railroad is necessary and
when railroad is constucted to the Ccquille,
ii would be extended to Eoseburg as matter
Of economy.
The people Of Coos arc somewhat litigous
and the docket was large at the September
term. Judge Bean was however equal to the
occasion and disposed Of all Of it in ore week.
1t is doubtful il any Of his brother judges can
show so fair arecard, and have heard it sug-
gested that il he intends TO preserve his health
he must not repeat the experiment.
