That tho street improvements made In Marshfleld henceforth should be of a permanent character was the gist of a plea mado by J. S. Coke and I. S. Kaufman before tho city council last evening. The ad dresses were heard with favor by the council and by tho others present. Senator Coke brought the matter up In connection with the improve ment of Cedar street, between Third street and 'A' street. lie said that the property owners had been dis cussing the matter and had decided that the sandstone paving which had been ordered and which, upon tests on Front street, had proved worth less was not what they wanted. Ho said that some favored plank, but the most of them, he believed, wanted asphalt. He said that ho was in favor of asphalt becauso It would prove of value to the city and tho superiority of it within a few years would enhance the value of the abut ting property ten times tho extra cost. Senator Coke also said that he be lieved this was a good time for the city and the property owners to have their improvements made. He said material was cheaper than In many years, labor was cheaper and that a great saving could be effected by having the work dono now. In addi tion to giving employment tp tho laborers on Coos Bay, he said it would bo a good advertisement for the city to bo up mid a coming when times wero dull elsewhere. Old Contract Interferes. Owing to a contract having been entered into by the city council with Masters and Mcl.ain for paving Cedar street with sandstone, tho city officials stated that tho change could not be mado unless Masters and Mc Laln were willing to glvo up their contract. Messrs. Coko and Kauf man said that they understood that Mr. McLaln was willing to give up the contract. However, It was de cided that a petition should bo cir culated among tho owners of tho af fected property on Cedar street and that If a sufficient number could bo secured to a request to have asphalt or plank paving used Instead of sandstone that an attempt would bo mado to effect an agreement with Masters and McLaln whereby tho change could bo made. Asphalt on Front Street. Thoro is also a movement on foot to change tho proposed Front street paving from treated block to as phalt. On this account, the city council last night postponed action on tho assessment for tho wood block. If tho change is made, tho paving will probably bo dono by pri vate contract to provont tho delay that would result from the city doing It. This will probably mean that Front street from tho city hall to 'C street will bo paved with asphalt In connection with tho proposed paving of 'C street from Front to Second and Broadway from 'C to 'B' by prlvato contract.

At tho CryMnl. Tho film "Winter Amusements" at tho Crystal Theatro last night mado a decided sensation. It Is a hand-colored film, portraying tho many amusements enjoyed by thoso who live In the colder climates. Coos Bay has a wonderful climate but many of tho older ones experi enced a sharp hungry want of tho old days. "When I was a Boy," to the younger generation theso winter pleasures wero a rovelatlon. Tho small boy was much In evidence. Do They Really Do All Thoso Things?" "Tho Only Thing I Ever Skated On Was Roller Skates," "Gee, I Wish I Could Sail on Thoso Ico Boats." Tho green grass and tho flowers carry their own blessings but tho man who has not felt tho joy of llfo as a heavily-laden "traveler" rushes down a glassy hill or as his skates carry him over somo lako or river has missed somo of life's keenest pleasures. "Tho Legless Runner" keeps ovoryono lauzMng and ho truly does somo woudoiful stunts for a man, without logs. Tho song, "Two Llttlo Sailor Be; " la particularly appropriate now us tho fleet is on our coast,' and "When tho Winter Days Aro Over" brings ono hack from the land of snowncl loo safe to tho shores of Coos Bay.
