Marshfield P O
Coos County, situated on the southern shore of Coos Bay,
is a thriving town of about 800 inhabitants. This
portion of the State is noted for its excellent timber
lands and vast coal deposits, the industries of lumber
manufacturing and coal mining being extensively carried
on. Another important industry of this section is ship
building; there being in the vicinity of the bay an
almost inexhaustible supply of timber admirably adapted
for that purpose. It is in contemplation to continue the
improvements to the harbor already commenced, so as to
assure an ample depth of water at its entrance, and also
make it available to a certain extent as a harbor of
refuge. Another important measure in view is the
construction of a railroad to Roseburg, or some other
point in the grain-producing section of the State. These
improvements, when carried out, will make Coos Bay one
of the most important commercial centers on the coast.
