DEVELOPMENT OF OREGON.
Meeting of Oregon Development
League Committee Urges Action.

a meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the Willamette Valley De-
velopment League was held in Nc
Minnville on Monday evening, says a
McMinnville dispatch. 1t was decided
to hold a number of meetings in va
rious counties throughout western
Oregon for the purpose of urging the
construction of railroad from Eu-
gene via Drain to Coos Bay.
Coos Bay is the largest harbor be-
tween San Francisco and Puget sound.
1t now has a depth of 26 feet on the
bar, and this can easily be increased
to 80 or even 40 feet. The bay itself
forms an ideal harbor of great extent.
II is destined to be the site of one of
will prove of immense advantage in
developing the resources of western
Oregon.
The Willamette valley is at the mer-
cy of Portland; southern Oregon is in
the hands of San Francisco. The coast
counties have practically no outlet,
except by small coasting steamers
The improvement of Coos Bay would
provide a competitor for both San
Francisco and Portland.
There is no desire on the part of
those urging the improvement of Coos
Bay harbor and the construction of
railroad thereto to buck" Portland.
In fact, Portland is so we'll located
as regards shipping advantages that

she will continue to develop, and that
far more rapidly than in the past. The
building of seaport town of import
ance at Coos Bay may take away some
of Portland's export trade.
On the other hand, it will do so
much to develop the wealth of west
ern oregon, that Portland will more
than make up for sharing its business
with another city. The farmers of
the Willamette valley are vitality in
terested in securing another outlet for
their products.
1t is but natural for Portland to
reach out for trade that may possibly
go to other ports-for instance that
of the Inland Empire. The trade of
the willamette valley, under present
conditions, must go through that port,
and for this reason the metropolis
feels that it is not incumbent on her
to make any special effort on behalf
of the valley in the way of transpor-
tation facilities or rates-the traffic
is hers without effort.

Flood Of Tributes
The flood OF tributes of admiration and
affection is Increasing. From King I'D
ward downwards, men Of all classes, m.
Guiding the grslt ch,irchmer+ are giving
public expression to their feelings on the
sad OCCASION, nearly all dwelling az much
on Sir Henry Irvings personal character
as on his histrionc talents.
81 1t seems to be beyond doubt that irving
sacrificed himself ~ hard work lie had
been advised a long time ago 70 give up
arduous roles like that OF Matthias, In
1.-THE Bells" owing to the strain thrown
on his weak heart, and only last week he
had been reluctantly persuaded to omit
'"rhe Bells In future. 8 u
It appears that for several years past
the weakness Of the lungs had thr g an
undue strain on the heart. Sir Charles
NVyndhain says that In February last, he
begged Sir Henry to take warning and not
z to burn the candle at both ends with re-
ccptions In tho morning and exactlng per-
formances In the evening. 63.
Success in America:
Many interesting touches are revealed
In the tributes of Sir Henry'.s friends.
For Instance, Forbes Robertson says that
Sir Henry told him J, was financial sue g,

Theatre In London. 4 II d. vi 81 Qll

Nothing has yet been decided as to the
funeral arrangements pending the meet

Charles Wyndhnm has called for to-day,
