The following self-explanatory letter from C. A. Smith, head of the C. A. Smith Lumber and Manufac turing Company, has been furnished to The Times by J. E. Oren, general manager of the Smith interests on Coos Bay, and will be of much Inter est to local people: MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., July 13, OS. Mr. J. E. Oren, Mgr., C. A. Smith Lumber and Manufacturing Co., Marshfield, Ore. Dear sir: I am just in receipt of yours of the 6th advising that the city council has decided to pare with asphalt, or as It is called bitulithlc rock, the business districts of Marsh field. It Is so utterly preposterous that It really does not seem possible that a city council wi)l actually make a contract for the paving of the Btreets with asphalt. I cannot understand lit. In the, first place, the city is not big enough or far enough along to warrant such extravagance as paving of any kind. In the second place, even though asphalt cost less money than woo'den creosotod blocks on concrete foundation, the wooden bjocks woujd be preferable even though they cost considerable more. Of course, I do not know what as phalt paving will cost nor what creosoted blocka on concrete founda tion would cost in your city, but I am satisfied that the asphalt will cost, if properly put down the way that contractors are forced to lay It here In the east and large cities, twenty-five to fifty per cent more. These small cities as a rule do not get that kind of asphalt. I noticed for instance Reno, Nevada, asphalt thej know what to do with why In the name of common sense don't they build some sewers and if the property owners have more money than they know what to do with, as they surely must have, if they desire to throw it away in this manner, why don't they for Instance build a hospital or raise the necessary funds for the operation of the dredge which would go, In my Judgment, farther in building up a city. Metropolitan airs by a strug gling infant city does not take well by investors but Just quite the re verse. If the people at Marshfield are actually desirous of building a city, they must see to it that money spent for Improvement is spent with the very best business Judgment, and it is certainly my duty and especially your duty being on the ground, to see to it that no such serious mistake as the throwing away of large sums of, money on metropolitan airs, Is done at this time. It is not only the first cost, which In my judgment ia the smallest, but It is the affect that such extravagance will have on out siders coming there with money to Invest. Hoping that you will do what you can to prevent this verv serious mu. (take, I remain, Yours truly, C. A. SMITH. II BRIDGE PROPOSITI J. H. Flanagan Makes Position Clear Regarding Coal Bank Inlet Matter. Editor Times: In the matter of the new draw bridge across Coal Bank Inlet, to which reference has been made in your paper recently, I would like, through your columns, to make my position clear in reference to the de mands which have been made upon the county court in this connection.

His theory Is that a pprtnin disease which afflicts negroes, turn-' ing their skin white, is caused by a the bridge which" is well' known to the subscribers to the fund for Its con struction. It was built in' fulfillment of a contract entered into between mysfelf and Mr. C. A. Smith as an inducement to him to locate his saw mill where it Is at present establish ed. In addition, to the xonstructlqn of the bridge, and certain other pro visions, a tramway was to be built connecting the drawbridge tflth the mill property and the monev- sub scribed by the people ot Marshfield was for the purpose of c'arrvlnsr out i mis agreement, full knowledge of J which said ugreement, alj subscribers (1UU, .

All that Is asked of the county court In order to have the bridge turned over to it is to refund tn m the amount that I have advanced to carry out the acrpemnnt nimtm re ferred to, amounting to about $1,000. Considering that the hrlil.ro. and approaches alone o.nst in the neigh borhood of ?5,500. it would seem no more than n business proposition for tlie county court, inasmuch as It has need for the bridge, to advance the amount asked. It does not seem reasonable that It should ask to have the bridge entirely donated. We do not hear of it receiving nM, na tions often. f A JAMES H. FLANAGAN.
