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.

MEMOIMAIj day.
Forty-slv years and forty-eight
days ago today General Beauregard,
commanding a force of Confederate
soldiers, bombarded and captured
Fort Sumpter, and that event marked
the opening of the bloodiest strife
over waged on American soil, the
Civil War. Between April 12, 1SG1,
and April 0, 1SG3, over GOO, 000 men
gave up their lives and this country
was plunged Into a financial debt or
?i0O,000,000. What It cost the
South can only be reckoned by the
wealth of the seceding States before
the commencement of the war, for
at Its close they were nothing but an
area of desolation.
Today we pay tribute to ho men
who fought and died ULjLhe Civil

MKS. McKIXLEY'S DEATH.
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.
Topka, Kansas, Is In tlio throes
of an icpldemlc of about nvcry dis
ease in the category. Si ice April
10 the town has been "dry," and It
seems that the prevalence of com
plaints aro a lesult of tho absence ot
liquor. 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.

PUBLIC COLUMN
I'o the Editor.
"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.
