HIY SOUTH MARSHFIEIO COAL INOELL BILL IS REPORTED I COUNCIL HAS BUSYJESS1 Takes Up Many Important Matters For Final Disposi tion Last Night. ' At a meeting of the Marshfield city council last evening, several old nro- , t broucht un for some defl- .. .. . onps . would have to be bulkheaded by driv-, t tions have simply knocked a hole in the main pipe. This resulted in the connecting pipes projecting into the, interior and stopping the flow so that ( it is practically impossible to flush it. lr order to have It fixed up right and to prevent similar irouuie on iomi Front street, where the new paving is to be laid, the city engineer was in- structed to prepare plans for a new system. Between Market avenue and Alder, the old sewer, which will ,havo to be replaced, is laid under the have to be replaced Plunking Is Ordered. The city council last night ordered the Elrod avenue improvement gone ahead with as rapidly as possible. Arthur McKeown, who endeavored to have it changed from plank to bitum inous rock paving, appeared before the council. Ho said he had just learned that some Individuals had been charging him with being prompted by "graft" in urging the change, claiming that he owned the Myrtle Point gravel beds and would get a rake off out of the gravel. He admitted he owned the gravel beds but declared that the revenue from them would not compensate- him for what the hard paving would cost. He said ho favored the hard paving be cause ho thought It would be more beneficial nnd cheaper In the long run and not because he was a "gravel bed magnate." However, the council after talking it over decided the change would require so -much time that the street could not be improved this year, which they believed would be an injustice to the property own ers on streets beyond that have been Improved. Consequently, they de cided to go ahead with plank. Tho final ordluauces ordering tho paving of Hall avenue from Fourth to Seventh and Highland avenue from Broadway to Fifth were passed. The final ordinance for the West Marshfield sewer was adopted. A deficit assessment on tho old im provement of Broadway between Cur tis and Hall avenues were levied. It amounts to $390.65. A deficit assessment on Third street was also levied. Deficit assessments of $430. Go on North Front street be tween the City Hall agAlder street .(Continued on page 4.) OtotaeaazaiaiBBassBrn 1 'A 3xx Mmxxmu HE ODOR OF ETHER and the drug laden air that hovers about a hospital drop away and I sense the faint fragrance of a wild prairie rose. Through the maze of the years and eyes dim with tears I glimpse the gblden glory of another June day Ions gone. A rebellious boy, passionate, petulant and tremulous with childish indignation over an imaginary wrong, seeks solace on a loving mother's breast and finds comfort and cheer In her encir cling and sympathetic arms. Tender eyes of Irish grey, luminous with love, gaze into mino and say: "God's will be done." It was the dominant note of her character and the guiding star of her long and useful life. "God's will" was her shrine. She bowed to it in meek submission and kissed the rod. There was something splendid and sublime in the measure of her Christian faith. Over and above all else was her belief and obedience in "God's holy will." Next was her love for her children. And who shall measure or define a mother's love. As bound less as the universe, as far reaching as the stars. ' Her's was the flower and fruit of mother-love in all Its perfection and sweetness. She lived In and for her children. No moment of her mother-life e'er passed that they were not her first and final consideration. Whether the soft caress that soothed a childish sob or the comfort of maturer wisdom in manhood's troubled years, her love always found solution for life's perplexities. It seems meet that she should fall asleep in the month of the roses she loved so well. Her last days were made brighter by them. Fragrant blooms from many friends brightened and blessed the room where her pain-wracked body at last found repose. These fra grant blossoms were one of the chief charms that Coos Bay lent to her last earthly days. Softly and sweetly as a child going to sleep In a mother's arms she sank to her final rest, surrounded with the comfort of her church and her children. Mother is dead, and I talk to-day of a memory, but It is tho memory of one than whom no gentler, kinder, sweeter, more gener ous, self-sacrificing and heroic soul has passed beyond. Robert Ingersoll has said, "Life is a narrow yale between the barren peaks of two eternities." Her hope was something more tlian a "barren p"ak." It was a rose crowned hill with grasses green and flowers blcoming on it. On its summit a temple through whose pearly portals she glimpsed the glories of the life beyond. Even in those final hours her thoughts were divided between her children and her God. To those sweet-faced Sisters who soothed her last moments she confided that her reconciliation to earth's farewell was only troubled with thoughts of the grief of the loved ones left behind. Life bears us on .like the current of a mighty river. Our boat first glides down the channel through the playful murmurlngs of the little brook, and the windings of its grassy, flower-strewn bor ders. The trees shed their blossoms over our young heads; the flowers seem to offer themselves to the young hnnds. We are happy in hope, and grasp eagerly at the beauties around us, but the great s ream hurries on, and still our hands are empty. Our course in youth and manhood is along a deeper and wider flow, among ob jects more striking and magnificent. We are animated at the mov ing pictures of enjoyment and activity all around us; we aro cited at short-lived disappointment. Thcstream bears us on, and our joys and our griefs are alike behind us.l We may be shipwrecked, but we cannot bo delayed. Whether rough or smooth the river hastens on till the roar of the ocean Is in our ears, and tho tossing of the waves is beneath our feet. The floods aro lifted up all around, us and we take our leave of the earth and its inhabitants, until of pur future voyage there is no witness save the Infinite. And so she has gone. We bow In meek submission to His holy will as she taught us In that June day so"longfago. To-day we cannot look for comfort in the encircling embrace of a mother's love, but in the sweet and holy Incenso of her sacred memory and the sheltering arms of Him who is the Father of us all.
