MAKIXG CONDITIONS. The C. A. Smith company is start ing out to do things In the right way. The concern is such a large one that local conditions do not meet the de mand, s it Is necessary to create conditions, which the company Is do ing. Tho plans Tor the new offlce building, on which work will be started at once, arc most exten sive. The building will have in it bedrooms for the use of tho office men, and dining room and kitchen ! where meals will be served as well , as apartments for guests who visit tho firm. bn account of the lack of i hotel accommodations tho company ' will in this way be prepared to hand somely entertain their business visit ors. In the office building will bo billiard rooms and other places of recreation for tho force. Houses are being erected for tho mill workmen, who must have places to live. The accommodations in the way of houses and rooms are lacking, so the company creates them, realizing that the conditions must be met. Besides, tho company provides for the pleas ure and recreation of tho nen, as well as for their work, on tho ground that men well satisfied and comfort ablo will bo permanent employes and will do better work. ' Tho building of houses for the men lias not been tho plan of the C. A. Smith company In the east, where tho men could find their own quar ters. The company stays strictly to tho lumber business, but hero tho providing of houses was necessary, so It was done. In this, as throughout all the plans of the company, conditions which are demanded by so large an establishment and are not forthcom ing, are made. The effect of this upon the community will be greater than Is realized. The company will make a good many things at Marsh fleld, and when the work Is com pleted and the plant in full operation there will be an organization which Is a community in itself a unit. I KSEIl VKS AVE LOOM E. Orvir Dodge is to be given a ban quet at Coqullle when he returns frpm Washington soon. The affair Is being arranged by the members of the Progressive club of Coqullle. The welcome planned for Mr. Dodge is well deserved. In representing Co qullle and Bandon in the Interests of Improving tho Coqullle river Mr. Dodge succeeded in getting the ap propriation he went after, and he also did all he could for Coos Bay and the country In general. It is not amiss to recognize public services rendered, and men who do things for the community in general should re ceive the public appreciation in the measure of their services. If they are only small, they count Just that much. Mr. Dodge's services, how ever, were of a highly beneficial nature. OBJECT TO NEW RATE Lumbermen of Willamette Valley Appeal to State Railroad Com mission for Relief. CANNOT COMPETE Because of Freight Clinrges Made by Southern Pacific to Snn Francisco. MIGHT HAVE ONE HERE. Speaking of tho Progressive club of Coqullle, It may be said that it is a worthy Institution. The members are banded together for the purpose of Improving and beautifying their city. They have already done much In this line, and have brought about oeveral specific Improvements in their city. The plan Is one which might well be Imitated In Marshfleld. These organizations exist in many cities throughout the country, and have done much good. Most of the people nre busy with business or the necessary and more general improve ments, so that a society with the beautifying of the city at heart can accomplish much In the way of sug gestion and actual work. GOOD EDITION The Albany Democrat, of Albany, Ore., has published a special edition which Is quite creditable to the city. It tells all about Albany and Linn county, giving accounts of the re sources and Industries. Handsome half-tones Illustrate the edition. gninyftjwiimiBtn.njMMU.isuRmjrj'i wimtwjww. Portland, April 24. A special to the Oregonian from Salem says the state railroad commission held a hearing into the justness of the com plaint made by the Willamette Valley lumbermen that the rate on lumber of $5 per thousand, recently put Into effect by the Southern Pacific be tween valley points and San Fran cisco is prohibitive. The complain ants say their orders have been placed under the old rate of $3.10 a thousand and they are mortally bound to keep the contracts. They also contend that although situated on the Willamette river the present rate to Portland is so high they can not ship to that port and thence to San Francisco by water and compete with Portland mills. The railroad on the other hand asserts that it can not do business at the $3.10 rate as it Is compelled In a great majority of Instances to haul cars north from San Francisco unloaded. The rail road men said further that they pre fer not to carry any lumber whatever as tho cars cannot be had in quanti ties sufficient to sumily the demands of more profitable traffic. The commission will not render a decision In the matter until the evi dence Is fully considered. In case the lumbermen are upheld and the presented Is deemed sufficient to warrant it, an appeal will be taken to the Interstate commerce commis sion. It developed after the com mission adjourned that up tho river mills plan, in case railroads do not reduce the rafes, to put Into opera tion large barges between their mills and Portland. They helleve In that way they will force the roads to come to their terms. MRS.

Men's cioining, ready to put on and wear the minute you've picked out something that's becoming to you, is being im proved in every way faster than any thing that's designed by brains and made by hands. It wasn't so very long ago that virtu ally everything our ancesters wore was spun and woven and mado up into gar ments at home. Then, for a few de cades, the tailor had his reign. Now, genius and organization have worked out a commercial levolution and men can dress better in ready-to-wear clothes than they could diess even a dozen years ago in cust,om-niado garments a great deal better. You can get a better fit, better fabrics, better tailoring and immeasurably better styles. Rest part of it all, j'ou can do all this for less money oven though the cost of almost all the necessaries of life has become greater than yon could do before tho amazing changes were wrought in manufacture. Wo went into the market early this year determined to examino all the of ferings of all tho notablo makers and to buy, after careful comparisons, tho best lino of men's clothes that was offered for sale in tho United States. Wo did it. There is no doubt, there are no "ifs," no "huts" about it. We got the best clothing that was on the market and we want to say right here that the best this season is way ahead of the best a year ago. We bought the famous Stein-Bloch and Kirschbaum clothing. They were in the lead and we were on hand early enough to get control of the line in this community. It means a good deal to us. It means that we can show you more style, better fabrics, better wearing suits, better fitting suits than any merchant who had to take one of the lines we re fused to buy and, as wo said, we took a long, careful look at practically every thing that was offered. It means, too, that we can offer you values which you can't duplicate in this section. Now we'd like to have you come in and look at our offerings. We'd like to h'ave you try on a suit that was mado to fit a man of your size. We'd like to havo you step in front of tho mirror and see how it looks on you. We want to tell you that we won't let you walk out of the store with a gar ment that doesn't fit you or that isn't becoming to you. For men of all sizes, ages and com plexions wo have the right kind of suit and tho right kind of light overcoat. You can't go out of our store with the wrong kind. Stop in at the store and examino some of tho garments in attractive browns and neat grays. They aro duplicates of the sack suits that fashionable dressers are wearing in Philadelphia and New York and other fashion centers. We want you to feel tho cloth, want you to exam ine it with fingers and eyes with a mi croscope if you choose. We want you to look at our blue serges. We want you to believe us when wevassure you that these Stein-Bloch and Kirschbaum Serges will wear long er and retain their shape and their color better than any serge garments mado tins country.
