Compliments for Mr.. Pittock.
The veteran business manager of the
Oregonian and Portland capitalist,
whose hand is felt in the encourage
ment of many enterprises and indus
tries, made many side trips into the
coal mines, up Coos river, and into the
Coquille country. He seemed tireless
in his determination to see this re-
gion well. He entered thoroughly in.
to the spirit of the whole program of
bringing the people of the Coos Bay
country and the people of Portland
and the Willamette valley into closer
friendly relations, and made himself
a positive factor in establishing the
points of contact that will result in
commercial intercourse on large scale
between the two sections.
At the banquet Mr.. Pittock was
made the guest of honor. and stand
ing toast was drunk to him by all the
delegates. When Portland had three
large gatherings on hand, and it
seemed to the secretaries of the Port
land commercial, bodies almost impossi-
BILE to send delegation over to the
Coos Bay convention, he took hold Of
the matter and made personal can
vass of his friends to get up credit
able delegation that would attend
And the success of the whole affair
was thus insured by Mr.. Pittock, with
out whose efforts this congress would
have been a partial failure, instead OF
grand success. He is the youngest
and most energetic man of his genera
ton, and all learned 10 love and res
pect Mr.. Pittock on this occasion.
While North Bend, the Coos Bay
town, where the sessions Of the con-
gress were held, is the greatest man
ufacturing city between Astoria and
J San Francisco, the older city of Marsh
field has commercial advantages as
distributing point that attach to it as
the oldest city on the bay. Supplies
are distributed from here to the mines
TO the Coos river valley and other
valleys, and to the logging camps IN
scores of directions. A large trade II
-four and provisions and mill stun'
has been built up between Portland
and Marshfeld. This trade is bound
| TO increase, and since the San Fran
cisco fire more steamers than ever have
been running between the two cities
Harriman's Valuable Terminals
The decision of the Hartman system
10 acquire the Coos Bay and Eastern
railroad from here TO Myrtle Point
makes Marshfeld virtually the termi
mus of the Drain and Coos Bay exten
sion. as over a thousand feet OF watei

coal fields about this bay. The term
linal facilities that Hartman gets her
with the railroad he has bought are O
incaleulable value.
