Johnson L THE FURNITURE MAN FRONT STREET - MARSHFIELD COME AND SEE BITULITS1IC IN CITIES Mr. Olson Says Other Towns Have Found It to Be the Best Paving. In an entervlew, N. C. Olson who represents the Warren Construction company, gavo an interesting de scription ot the construction of tho bltullthic pavement. He states that bitulithic Is being laid all over the United States and Canada, as far south as Florida and north as far as Edmonton, Alberta, showing that the pavement is practicable In all cli mates. He states that his company dbes eighty per cent of the hard surface paving in Oregon and includes the following cities: Ashland, Medford, Roseburg, Eugene, Albany,. Corval lis, Salem, Woodburn, The Dalles, Baker City, Pendleton, Portland and Grants Pass lately passed resolutions specifying bitulithic. In Canada, the drives and streets around the Dominion government's buildings in Ottawa were paved with bitulithic four years ago and all the hard surface paving in Edmonton is of the same material, Calgary is hav ing forty thousand square yards of bitulithic put down. When asked his opinion in regard to the future of Marshfield, Mr. Olson was very en thusiastic about this city and stated that in all his travels over the north west, he always heard favorable things about Coos Bay and Marsh- field and traveling salesmen unani mously agreed that tills section had a bright future in store. This being his first trip to this city, Mr. Olson said, ho found con ditions even better than he expected and stated that one of the best In dications that the city is recognized, Is the fact that large concerns like his own are coming in here compet ing for the paving, which shows that the city's bonds are recognized and acceptable. "It is for the purpose of getting some o those bonds in ex change for bitulithic pavement that I am here," he laughingly stated. I Ho says he regrets to be unable .to be here and attend tho paving i , meeting Monday night as he Is leav ing on the Raniona for Portland, but ho says ho lias discovered that the people in this city are more than capable of looking after their own interests. He hopes, however, that they will decide to take advantage of tho past experience of tho other cities In this state and select the best which according to his view Is bitulithic.

LOCKHART & PARSONS DRUG COMPANY "The Busy Corner" Prescriptions Accurately compounded, Editor Times: I notice In the columns of The Times Inst evening a communication urging the adoption of bitulithic pav ing In Marshfield in which It is stat ed that wooden blocks cannot be used because the bidders ask for pay ment as each block is completed. If this is the only objection, it Is baseless for I am Informed by tho C. A. Smith Company that the stipul ation in their bid requiring settle ment for tho work as each block is completed does not mean that the city has to pay cash for tho work block by block. The stipulation was 'injetwed to show that the company will expect and Insist on a business like settlement for tho work if they secure it. rue company s represen tatives Inform me that they expect to take special improvement bonds and that the latter will bo accepted In settlement tho same as cash. If the city council does tho business in a proper manner, it will bo enabled to settle with the C. A. Smith Com pany in the business-llko manner specified, tho way they should deal with any and all contractors. Another reason why I am In fa y.or of the wooden block paving and a reason that should recommend it self to every property owner and tax payer is that it will be building up a homo industry. In previous discus sions of paving at the city council and which were reported In The Times, it was shown conclusively that the leading cities are now using wooden block paving more than any other kind. This is. because tests have shown that wooden blocks when properly prepared and laid will give better service than any other kind. Marshfield has to depend largely on the lumber business for its sub slstenco at present. Consequently everyone Interested in tho welfare of the city should desire to promoto that Industry. If wooden block pav ing can be used here, it will be de veloping a home product. Tho ex penditures of preparing the material, for securing tho new material, for laying the material and in fact eve rything will go to Marshfield or Coos county people and the money will be kept at home and used to build up this section instead of going to de velop other communities. Besides this, if a test of wooden block paving, in Marshfield shows that tho wooden blocks nro better than tho other kinds, which it un doubtedly will, It will mean that other cities will bo adopting them. Consequently Marshfield and Coos county will develop Into a center for paving material. Another thing I noticed about tho bids for the paving, as shown in your paper, was that the bid for wooden block paving carried a guarantee clause much more liberal and more 'effective than the other bidders offer ed. Tho C. A. Smith Company will guarantee the wooden block paving from five to fifteen years without asking any bonus for It. The bituli thic people want two and one-half cents per yard to guarantee their paving and tho other people only of fer to guaranteo their paving for five years. If their paving is much bet ter than the wooden block paving, it looks strange to mo that thoy are only willing to guaranteo Its life for so brief a time when the wooden block contractors stand ready to guarantee their work for as high af fifteen years. In Chicago where tho street traf fic Is heaviest, wooden block paving has been adopted after asphalt and its kindred kinds of paving have fail ed to give satisfactory service. Government reports show that other largo cities that aro in a posi tion to know from experience what kind of paving Is best are adopting wooden block paving. It seems to mo that Marshfield would mnko n big mistako if it doesn't adopt tho wooden block pav ing and encourage a homo Industry. Tho bids show that It Is far cheaper to the property owner and tax payer, the experience of other cities show It Is tho best whon properly put In and tho guarantees offered by tho various bidders tend to substantiate the superior lasting qualities of wooden blocks. I have investigated this matCor from a purely personal standpoint hecauso I have considerable paving to bo done. After looking Into tho matter, I will Insist that wooden TAXPAYER. CIRRY- COUNTY NEWS.

Bailey de parted on the Wilhclmina last week" for a short wedding trip in Coos county, after which they will return and go to housekeeping In Wedder-burn.

Boot Loggers Causing Grief In Upper Coquillo Town. The Myrtle Point Enterprise says: "The Myrtle Point liquor situation is not exactly Ideal. While it Is prob able that less liquor Is being sold than would bo with licensed saloons, nnd that there Is less drunkenness, there Is no doubt but that there aro blind piggers here who aro making handsome profits, and as they aro un molested aro becoming bolder In tho traffic. It is rumored that one has said that ho would not care for a fine, as a fine would be less than tho license he would bo expected to pay under a license system. He and oth ers who have no personal regard for the wishes of tho majority of tho people In this precinct who havo several times voted In favor of local option, should be given to under stand that the will of this majority Is to bo respected. Ono way In which this could be successfully done would bo for the city council to pass an ordinance In accord with tho local option law so that enforce ment of Its provisions would be un der tho jurisdiction of the police of ficers as well as under tho office ot the sheriff. A little determination In this regard would give tho out law booze dispenser reason to have some regard for tho wishes of tho public." VALENTINE Day MONDAY' Got that Valentine at Coos Bay Cash.
