We have on hand a limited number of high class seasonable suits which we will offer at reduced prices in a sale commencing today, Saturday, Aug. 22nd, ending Saturday, August 29th. The sale will continue for one w cell, although most of the garments will have gone long before thcn.h If you come early you will be sure to find your right size in a suit of rich pattern and marked easily within your means. This sale will be unusual because the sizes are pretty well distributed not any one size predominating.. These garments have been specially selected for the sale instead of being dumped in a heap and passed on to the public as a bargain. The very pick of our surplus stock has been set aside and reduced because we aim to make just as favorable an impression by our reduction sales as we do through our regular sales. If you're trying to squeeze through the season on a scant wardrobe, we advise you to get the clothes you need now because, if you're forced to supply yourself later, it will cost you much more money. ., , ...'.. As an additional special we have included our entire stock of fancy vests at 33 J -3 off regular prices, as it Is unquestionably the greatest price cutting on high class merchandise ever offered to clothing buyers in Marshfleld FEATURES OF CARNIVAL.

Editor Coos Bay Times Having got my name mixed up In the Marshfleld building ordinance controversy, kindly permit mo to put myself straight before the public. Some time ago I was requested by tho city attorney, Mr. Farrln, to look over a building ordinance for the city of Marshfleld (compelled by him). While most of the features of the ordinance were good, some wero perhaps a little Inconsistent, but my main objection to it was its uncom pleteness. I agreed to revise this ordinance and make it now complete. In do ing so, I used most of Mr, Farrln's compilations, which I understood, were taken from tho ordinance of the city of Eureka, Cal. Additional matter brought in by me was taken from the city of Portland ordinance. After having finished the compilation I turned it over to Mr. Farrin for his revision and have never heard or seen anything about since, until this matter was brought up. The feature regarding erection of frame structures in the fire limit was taken from Mr. Farrln's ordinance and left by me with slight alteration. I reasoned that for a city the slzo of Marshfleld, perhaps It would not bo prudent to be too strict as it might retard Its upbuilding. An Injustice, of course, would be dono the man who puts up a sub stantial brick or concrete building by tho raising of tho insurance rato on his property If a frame structure goes up adjoining his. However, I do not believe it Is working so very much of a hardship as people generally think for sev eral reasons First, should a man de sire to build a brick or concreto building in tho business district ho has tho old framo buildings on at least one sido to contend with no matter where ho goes, hence he Is not going to bo benefitted to any great MI JOKER" lii THE FIRE LIMITS ' ORDINANCE all suits in the priced to sell at $ 1 4 are now extent by low Insurance. From ex perience, I know that the "old shacks" aro going to be patched up as long as possible or until the ground gets to be so valuable that It does not pay to keep them. Secondly Any prudent man that is going to make a permanont In vestment in a business block knows that, while tho first cost of a brick or concrete building Is more than tho same building of wood, it more than saves the difference in maintenance, not to say anything about tho sub stantial leak and higher rentals. Furthermore, tho owner of a sub stantially built brick or concrete building, that Is a "mill constructed" or "slow burning constructed build ing" can afford to carry some of tho fire risk himself and not carry too much Insurance. There Is very Ht tlo risk from a Are from without ex cept in a general conflagration, and should a fire occur from within "such a building, one or two floors may burn and yet leave tho remaining part practically unharmed, or tho en tiro Inside may burn and yot In nine cases out of ten the skeleton will bo practically Intact with fair flro pro tection, unless an explosion occurs. The framo buildings allowed in the ordinance aro substantial buildings, and while tho risk from flro from the outside, of course, Is greater, yet tho risk from Are from within is ab solutely no greater than In a brick or concreto building built on the same modo ot construction. However, I believe It would bo ad vlsablo to revise tho Aro limit and for the present at least, limit It to a smaller area and, In this view, lire limit eliminates tho erection of framo buildings. The property owners should attend tho council meetings or advise with tho city officials and make known their wants to them and thoy would then not bo groping In tho dark. Thero Is, I understand, a plumbing ordlnanco (I have not seen It nor have I had anything to do with it), which I bollovo, from recent experi ence, Is somewhat ambiguous. It calls for soli pipes to bo of tho grado , r selling ' i which i known as "extra heavy," while In my opinion, a "Standard" pipe serves all requirements. It is simply wasto of money. The "extra heavy" plpo weighs twice as much as the "Stand ard" and cost, of course, correspond ingly more. All waste or soil pipes ' nre tested before they leave tho factory, they are again tested, or should bo tested, when tho plumber has "roughed in" tho building, and this is the severest strain such pipes over will have. As a matter of fact, there Is practically no strain on a. soil pipe under ordinary usage, with the exception of thnt part that leads from tho foot of tho risers and con nects with the sower In tho street, and, even In this part, there is lit tle or no strain at any time, as tho sower Is, or should have ample fall to empty Itself quickly. Tho mayor has appointed an ar chitect to act as plumbing inspector and, while T have the greatest respect for my profession and my fellow co workers on the profession, It would have been in my judgment more logical 'to appoint a thoroughly com petent and practical plumber to this position. While an architect la sup posed to know everything connected: with the building trade and does know a great deal, otherwise he would not be worthy of tho title, yet ho cannot bo expected to be an ox pert In all ts many branches. It takes years of practical experience? to learn to know how little ono real ly knows. This does imply in any sense, but that the mayor's appoint ment Is a worthy one. In regards to fees, It Is not a wise? practice to Impose heavy fees for building permits or for Inspection, It then becomes a tax and as such a hindrance to building operations. Ku city of any size that I know of, has foes larger than what Is absolutely necessary to cover expenses connect ed therewith. They also have grad uated fees, It costs but little more to Issue a permit and Inspect a largo building than it does a small ono. YourB truly, E. W. HENDRICKS.
