Nq ...Toward the close of the year the people of our immediate coast have been shocked and may have been bowed down with sorrow at the terrible shipwreck of the Fearless. The forest fire that swept along down the coast and the revaulting [sic] tragedy near Coquille City last summer, with the winding up of a horrible affair, all bring to our minds that even in Coos county the past year has been one of considerable catastrophe, and no doubt the events will be recorded in history, and the year 1889 will be looked upon as the saddest to the residents of this part of the coast that has ever been witnessed. On the other hand our county has prospered and there has been better times during the twelve months past them [sic] has been known for a dozen years. Improvements have marched onward. The future of the Coquille valley is brighter than it has ever been. Real estate has almost doubled in value during the last year; SKIP If Providence favors when 1890 winds up her time for a new year the records will show that Coos county has advanced at a still more rapid pace than ever before. + [ cp] Poem Tot-Bandon CCH loose1-2 CCH Jan 7, 1890 [Poem called The Rigs and Jigs of Bandon.

As the county becomes more densely populated the season for wagon road travel will become less. A county railroad would certainly prove remunerative, besides it could be regulated so that it would not fleece the people as if owned by private capital. Something must be done, and while a county railroad would be an innovation, it doesn’t follow that it is not just the proper thing. There is nothing to hinder the scheme, and our county court could not render the people of Coos county as great a service in any other way. + [cp] Literary Tot-Coq name Loose 1-2 CCH Jan 7, 1890 The Coquille City Literary Society will meet in Hunnewell Hall.

It was only talked of, not done.] ...If as “progress” says the railroad is certain to be built from Roseburg to Coos Bay soon, then we had better let the plank road alone, for it would not be used if we had a railroad, SKIP What we want is a good, substantial railroad from Roseburg down the Coquille valley to Coos bay. Douglas and Coos counties could build it for a very little more than they propose to expend in building a beast-killing, man-worrying road that will only serve till some corporation builds a railroad over the same route that will go on robbing the people to all eternity. It is manifestly the interest -- nay, duty -- of a county to help its people, and now Douglas and Coos have a show. They can build such a road and carry the people and their traffic cheaper than the people themselves could afford to, and pay for the road in seven years, in addition. After that the two counties would have a revenue coming in that would enable them to keep in good shape all short neighborhood roads, and remit most of the county tax. + [cp] Srh Hume Alaska RR u7 CCH Jan 28, 1890 R.D.

The firm, Early & McArthur and teller Blinn come highly recommended, and in fact the two latter have been here long enough that they have gained the esteem and good wishes of the people of the Coquille. valley. Their building, a good substantial two story structure, is complete. Four splendid offices are found on the second floor and are elegantly fitted up. Below is the bank. A cozy fire place heats the room, and gives it an inviting appearance. This and the bank proper is fenced in with a railing of panel-work seven feet high, the upper portion being huge panes of plate glass. It is well lighted in every part. The vault is large and roomy and perfectly fire-proof. The walls extend well into the ground and are sixteen inches thick with four inches of air space in the center. The safe is the finest we have ever seen. It is perfectly fire and burglar proof. It has a time-lock and all the powers that be could not open it till the time for which it is set up. A second safe is inside the larger one that has a double combination, so that should a burglar hold up the banker he could not get more than the “day cash” that is kept in the outer safe, without hunting up the person who held the other combination, and not even that if the safe was locked, by the timer. The banker is then powerless to open it. The mechanism was explained in a former issue by which it is made burglar-proof. On the ponderous iron door of the vault in gold letters is the name "Coquille River Bank". It will be opened for business about February 10th. Here’s to its success. + Health Pr-25 CCH Jan 28, 1890 Coos Bay News.

A railroad from Roseburg to Coos bay would cost perhaps $800,000, but let us put it at a million dollars. Now, in view of such an enterprise, to be absolutely owned by the people [people in italics] of the two counties it would be a small matter for Douglas and Coos counties to float a million dollars worth of bonds, put their hundreds of idle men to work and in a short time have a. railroad that would pay for itself in, at least, ten years, after which the profits could be applied to the current expenses of the counties which would almost do away with our direct taxation (which will ere long be looked back upon as a relic of barbarism any way) and set an example that the world would soon follow after. The people are working up to the necessity of running their own business and stop delegating it to corporations and then paying them all their hard earnings, except a scanty living, for doing what they are as imminently calculated to do as any soulless corporation can do for them.

[Sub-Head:] An Important Comparison. Mr. Legh [sic] Harnett, in his investigations of our coal reserves and the character of the coal itself, gives us some particulars, [skip] ... as the facts given, show very decidedly the great benefit our county will receive from this gentleman's visit. Our vast coal resources, so far as minerals are concerned, in Mr. Harnett's opinion, are likely to prove most important to us in future [sic]. This opinion is based upon the excellent character of our coal which according to the assays given by reliable parties in the east and in San Francisco, proves itself equal in many respects, and in some superior to either the Nanaimo, Wellington [British Columbia] or Bellingham bay [Washington] coal which everybody knows, has been regarded for years as the best coal of the whole coast. This is indeed, a very important point to prove; one our citizens have never dared to hope, not even to suspect; yet the figures given, prove it true beyond question. We will now give the assays as furnished by Mr. Harnett, the sample selected, being the Dunham coal, located on the Isthmus [sic] between Coquille City and Coos bay. DUNHAM COAL ASSAY Fixed Carbon.....................45.18 Volatile Carbonaceous Matter.....41.32 Water............................11.50 Sulphur........................ .450 Ash...............................3.00 [sic. M. actually totals more than 100%.] Again, on the hill, about a mile to the southeast, belonging to Capt. Dale, is another large deposit of coal which assays are quite as well [sic]. These are the figures: Fixed Carbon....................43.75 Volatile Carbonaceous Matter....42.40 Water............................7.15 Ash..............................6.75 Now for the foreign coal: NANAIMO COAL [highest in fixed carbon. Also lists figures for Wellington and Bellingham bay. M. Note, does not belong here as is not part of Nanaimo list] Fixed Carbon..................46.31 Volatile Bituminous Matter....32.16 Water......................... 7.98 Ash...........................16.55 [Bellingham bay has slightly more bitumimous matter, 8.30 water, 12.66 ash. Wellington, 1.00 water, 14.03 ash.] In comparing these figures to test the character of our local coal with that having a high reputation in the markets of the coast, our readers must remember that water, ash, and sulphur are the deleterious elements in coal as constitutes a dead loss. Generally, however, they decrease as depth is obtained on the vein. Nevertheless, while our coal is taken absolutely from the surface, it is 1ess defective in actual merit than the coal from the older and thoroughly developed mines mentioned, and is at the same time superior in the gaseous or burning elements. This is the strong point in the argument and must not be overlooked. By bringing these facts before the capitalists and commercial men of the world, through the columns of the Oregonian, Mr. Harnett will confer a benefit on our section which can scarcely be appreciated at present. + Health Un-2 CCH July 8, 1890 [somebody who was given up by the best physicians but is now cured by a product called the Microbe Killer.

No other man visiting the county ever brought these things so strongly before the public and the best of it is, every word can be verified. It is evident now that the coal on Dr. Stockman’s and Mr. Barrows’ properties should be thoroughly developed as they immediately pertain to our towns. Mr. Harnett is equally diligent in informing himself of other important matters, so we already get a glimpse of the good he will finally do in our county. + climate health un-2 CCH July 8, 1890. 7 people died of sunstroke fm the hot weather in Louisville Kentucky. can't say that ever happens here. not quote. health un-2 CCH July 8, 1890.

There is no doubt that we are on the eve of getting a railroad from the interior to Coos bay, but that most of the blow and sputter is wind is equally as evident. There is some good legitimate company in the field, and it would seem that its advent was the signal for all sorts of monkey moonshine and if one listened to all he could not hope to find so secluded a spot for his final resting place that his grave would not be crossed with a few railroads. As to where the company is, who its members are or which way they will come are enigmas. + [M. Apparently this means everyone knows there will be a railroad but so far no company has made progress beyond the talk stage?? Or?] [cp] what-needed Srh coal condit-outlook un-5 July 8, 1890. If we had a steamer running to San Francisco capable of carrying 500 tons of coal it would give an impetus to business on the Coquille that would go on even to other and more extensive enterprises.

The site is a magnificent one, and these people have some of the best schools in America, and will become an important factor in building up Coquille City.
