That such a condition exists does not redound to any one's credit. But as the condi tion does exist It must be met and apparently the only way to meet It Is to take the course pursued by tho merchants of Coqullle. Kntercil al the pnitofllce nt Marshflcld.

DISTRICT SEWEIl PLAN. Marshfield will lay more sewers In the next two years than for all .the tlmo before. As ,jthe city ex pands In growth the amount of ex penditures for public Improvements will Increase enormously over what they have been In the past. Meth ods that applied for furnishing funds to meet public Improvements five years ago will be found to be Im practical In a short time under stress of the city's enlargement. To date the sewers laid have been paid out of the general fund. With the maxi mum limit of tho city debt $25,000 and a present Incumbrance of $14,000 sower expense will In a short tlmo become a financial elephant, If the piesont plan, of paying for the laying of sewers out of the general tu ml is followed. Good streets, electric lights, and city water are all essential, but a sewere system Is absolutely Impera tive to the growing city, while the Installation of any of the other three can bo delayed for a time. It Is necessary that we pursue the most practical nnd economical method of providing the city with sowers. That plan must be the best which is In uni versal uso In tho larger cities, be cause they, having passed through the different municipal constructive periods, havo by a natural process of elimination hit upon the most feas ible plan of providing for sewer ex penses. The plan In almost univer sal use, both In the r t and east, Is tho district sewerage plan. By this method residents who are directly "benefited by tho sewers stand the expense. At piesent one portion of Marshfield pays for the laying of a sewer for which It reaps absolutely no Individual benefit. It la not so much the fact that tho present plan Is Inequitable as that tho city cannot long pursuo It with out becoming Involved In financial dllllculty. P. A. Sandberg, Mar.il Jlcld's city englneor, laid the entire sewei sybtem for Baker City, which has a population of 10,000 people, and about $55,000 had been expend ed when he icft to accept his posi tion here. Tho district sewerng" plan was used for all of the work In t'."l city. Although the siweis here , have been paid out of the general tund similar action cruv be taken as was In Spokane, where, after several miles of sowor system were laid out of tho general fund, the city took them over and tho residents who lind becured sower service under that plnn recompensed tho city, thus on- nbldig it to htartfoiit on tho district "ower plan on ari?2duablo basis to all citizens. i anjerju Vttfe" I'ltOIIIIMTlOX ISSUE.

The death of Mrs. William McKIn ley marks the passing of one of the noblest couples that have ever fig ured in our national life. Both were perfectly fitted for the place they occupied so long. William McKinley was a rare type of the American citizen. Because of his sterling, kindly character he occu pied a place in the hearts of all Americans only second to that ot Abraham Lincoln. Mrs. McKinley endeared herself In the hearts of every man, woman and child, and the patient, cheerful manner in which, for thirty years, she suffered physical pain stands out a-a an xample for emulation. Through herself and husband the carnation and the rose hold a sacred place In the hearts or all Americans today. PROHIBITION.

Although the town Is free train ioons the drug store forces are working overtlnip tj alleviate tho numberless ills. The balm In all cases is whiskey.

"Made In Oregon" Is an expres sion of peculiar significance at this time, when all eyes are watching with eager Interest the marvelous growth and wonderful Improvements all along this bay region. The newly awakened citizens are vlelng with each other to help in pushing tho w'heels of the old machine out of the ruts of the past and smoothing the way for tho new prosperity that Is crowding in so rapidly. Pretty homes are being built and yards once overrun with wp-mIs and neglect are now filled ..h :,.nve. 3 v..ii .rult. Tho new mayor, with commendable pride, has set a good exainpli of hi3 housekeeping by saying to tie bov and girls, come, let us clean up, and Immediately It Is begun and the old disreputable looking trash that was lying about the streets Is gathered up and carted off, each one cleaning up before his own promises. Electric roads and boulevards are talked about wherever a group of nlen are found, and women are en thusiastic ap thoy see In the near future beautiful homes, fine parks and elegant churches; or talk of the time when a fine opera house or theatre will be built which will tempt tho great talent to come here and bring the fine music and plays that go to make society women happy. Already the reading public Is malt ing an effort to secure a public library, and the various clubs, organ izations and societies point to ad vancement along Intellectual lines. While we are watching with pride the construction of mills and facto ries, new docks and warehouses, and while thousands of dollars are pour ing In to the city's treasury to ad vertise and send abroad the reports of the natural resources and splen did products of Coos Bay; while we call the attention of the world to the fish In our waters, the cattle on Our hills and valleys; of the great for ests of both hard wood and timber tor every purpose; of our fruit and vegetables unsurpassed in any State; while we boast of our abundant crops of almost every desirable thing, let us not forget nor neglect the one most important crop tho one that pays the biggest dividends in return for care -or neglect I mean the boys and the girls of today. Thoy are to be the citizens of to morrow, no matter from where they came, or In what school they have studied. These boys and girls are here now. They are tho wards or Marshfield. Their "characters" aro to bo "made In Oregon," and already the people of the east, who are hear ing of this wonderful Coos Bay cli mate are writing letters of Inquiry as to Marshfield as a proper place to bring the boys and girls. In a letter from an eastern man we find the following questions: Is Marshfield a healthy place? Are the people law-abiding citizens, or is Sun day the same as other days In regard to business and pleasure? How mary ciurc1" rT.v ' ou, and are those you havo alive? Are your tchool.3 abreast with the times, your teachers educated and experienced men and women, who are qualified to encourage and inspire the pupils to be only satisfied with the best? Are your Marshfield fathers and mothers as anxious for the children's welfare as tho advertising shows them to be for the financial prosperity of tho 1 city? M. R. H.
