In n letter to Tho Timor from Minneapolis undor dnto of Aug ust 22, Mr. Smith writes as follows: "Unclosed find clipping from our Minneapolis Journal of yesterdny showing tho amount of paving of tho different kinds as woll as costs botng laid In this city this year. Do not hco very much nsphalt or somo othor misleading high sounding names which aro bolng used for asphalt.

Tho time for the ncQnlremont of tho Inud necessary for tho purposu ls opportune and If wo do not avail ourselves of this opportunity It will nover again, In ull probability bo presented as land Is becoming moro valuable ls bolng rnpldly platted and It will bo Impouslblo to secure land nocessary for thu purpose. Theso park ways should not be loss thnn two hundred foot, better four hundred foot In width and to continue as far as practicable from north to south and from east to wost. With theso broad beautiful ave nues wo would have thu foundation Xor what wo aru by nature Intended to be a united, beautiful city. M. C. MORTON. THAT HOULKVAHD PLAN. Kdltor Cooh liny Times: Ilulow you will Hud my opinion on tho proposed boulevard. It you con tililor It worth thu tlmu and trouble and euro too, you may print it: Whllo wo have not been residents of Marshllold long, wo Intend to mnko It our homo Xor years to coino, therefore 1 beg permission to off or n few suggestions In regard to propos- Features of Coos - Bay Harbor Some Sensible Suggestion Concerning Width, Harbor Lines, Etc. ruTUitK or hahdok. be SO rout wide; that Is average width of most boulevards being sulll clont for any tratlle. IVa far better to have an 80-foot ono rightly mndo extended far, than ono 100-foot poorly mndo and only a short one. Marshllold, North lluud and Umpire City should nil join hands, build a good lusting boulevard. As to cost, true economy will bo to build It right to begin with. Wooden pave ment meaiiH waste of money. As phalt pavumuut If properly laid will bo economy. You lutvo something to bo proud of, Homuthlug when traveling gives satisfaction and will last from 20 to 30 years without much If any repairing. Nothing oIrm will enhance values or convince ottt fllda investors quicker that Marsh Held and Coos liny are realities a-) maps Indicate than good substantial boulevards and roadways, which iilnnu show progresslveuuss and thrift. Tho city council made ono commoudablo move when it granted the electric and steam frauuhlbo to homo capitalists. At tho tlmo I mailed several clippings to prospec tive eastern Investors. In teply one says In looking' over tho many clip pings, I notice local capitalists got the franchise for electric and steam rond. Also you tell mo It Is so any road coming there can use It. That means Marshllold will not bo a one mnn town, that Hill, llurritnnu or tho lloiso, Eastern have equal oppor tunities to gain admittance and har bor advantages. 1 fully agreo with you as to Coos Hay's future marvel ous growth and worth. Now to my opinion It's every taxpaer and prop erty owners duty to encourage tho city to securo and build at once this proposed bnulovard, Improve streets and build roads. For every dollar paid out for such you get two In ro turn lu Incronsod values. Lot each and ovory ono bo a booster for a greater and bettor Coos Hay. MHS. L. J.

Editor Coos Bay Times: As a citizen dcoply Interested In tho ituturo welfare of Coos Bay I wish to say a few words a3 to tho Im provement of tho harbor. Capt. J. S. Polhomus has submitted to tho Port Commission n voluminous roport with rocomniondntions as to tho lmmodlato and ultlmato Improvement of tho har bor of tho port of Coos Bay. His plans nnd rocomniondntions for tho Immcdlato Improvement of tho har bor with its Inlets nro comtnondnblo, but he ls entirely too consorvntlvo when it comes to tho ultlmato Im provements. Ho recommends a chnn not of from 2,200 to 2,700 foot width from tho Standard Oil dock nt Marshflold to Old North Bond nnd a width of 1,000 to 1,100 foot In front of Mnrshllold. If this plan Is adopt ed by tho Port Commission, futuro gonoratlons will hnvo abundant rea son for condemning nnd belittling tho Intelligence of tho present Port Commission. Tho present gonerntlou is laying tho foundation for tho fu turo nnd upon tho present Port Com mission It dovolvcs inrgoly to say whothor a largo metropolis or nn or dinary city shall bo built on Coos Hay. Hy all means make tho harbor as large as possible, not nnrrower than ono mile nil tho way from Old North llend to tho Cold Storago at Marsh llold and not less than 1,100 feet In front of Mnrshflold. Even nt this width our harbor will bo small lit comparison with those of Sonttlo and Snn Francisco. This Is tho most Im portant period In tho history of Coo? Day and nil futuro history of Coos Hay will to a great extent dopond on thu nrtlon of the people who nro taking tho lend In tho present. If tho city councils of tho cities of Coos Hny, tho Port Commission, tho Chamber of Commerce and tho citizens in gouernl now display wis dom In laying n broad foundation nt this crucial period, futuro genera tions will look back with interest nnd satisfaction to their forofnthors and bless them for tholr foresight nnd good Judgment In building so wisely. It matters prdbahly little to Seugstnckou, Simpson, Wlnsor, Har ris and Milieus whothor postorlty erects monuments to tholr honor or makes tho brimstone Hy when tholr uamos nro mentioned but to bo seri ous again, lot us hnvo a harbor worthy of tho nnmo, ns largo as wo possibly can mnko It. There Is no such n thing as making It too largo, but even u school boy can see tho folly of narrowing It down so thnt ships of commorco, bnttleshlps and sea craft In gonornl can Had llttlo or no spneo whoreln to nnvlgato. Portland would bo tickled to her vory boots to seo Coos Hny check her own prosporlty by dwarfing tho niuount of her futuro commerce limiting tho size of hor cities nnd placing nu effectlvo rein on tho gon ornl growth of tho community which Is precisely what would hnppon If tho Port Commission does not ovor stop Captain Polhomus' consorvntlvo recommendation for ultlmato hai bar Improvement und ndopt a largor and bettor plan. This matter is of so much importnnco thnt a mass meeting of our cltlzons or n gathering of our business mon to discuss this question Is recommonded. Tho sen timent of tho moro progressive olo inont on Coos Bay Is decidedly for a largo harbor. Let us hear from oth ers on this vital question. WM. E. HOMME, Cooston, Ore.
