     "Coos county is talked of everywhere, and I have had more questions asked about that
county than any other. A large number of lumbermen are leaving here tonight for Oregon,
and they have their eyes on Coos. Mr. McKinney, general immigration agent for the
Harriman lines, says that Coos county is one of the most promising sections of the Northwest
today. Today (Nov 30) is the last of the special excursion rates until January, and the Union
Pacific is leaving here with as big a crowd as any during the summer. The stereopticon
lectures given on Oregon have been a great boom for the State. Pictures talk, and they are
doing untold good. Let the people of Coos band themselves together for a general push club
at the opening of spring and begin early. Send on the literature." +    [cp]
